Patent number: 8640504Abstract: A glove including a knitted liner having a thickness of about 0.70 mm to about 0.90 mm and a plurality of stitches made from a first yarn having a denier of 221 or less, the knitted liner comprising a plurality of finger components, a thumb component, and a palm component, at least one reinforcement section located at a base of at least one finger component, at a base of the thumb component, or in the palm component, or combinations thereof, and a foamed polymeric latex coating adhered to the knitted liner, the foamed polymeric latex coating penetrating half way or more for at least a portion of the knitted liner, the foamed polymeric latex coating not penetrating the entire thickness of the knitted liner.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2011Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Ansell Healthcare Products LLCInventors: Eric Thompson, Dave Narasimhan, Jeffrey C.

Patent number: 8137606Abstract: A lightweight thin flexible latex glove article having a polymeric latex coating that penetrates the front portion of a knitted liner half way or more through the liner thickness and for at least a portion of the knitted liner, not penetrating the entire thickness. For example, the liner can be knitted using an 18-gauge needle with 70 to 221 denier nylon 66 multi-filament yarn. The polymer latex coating can be 0.75 to 1.25 times the thickness of the knitted liner. Over 30% reduction of glove thickness is achieved resulting in three times greater flexibility. The polymer latex coating may be foamed with 5 to 50 vol % air content. Open celled foamed latex coating may be coated with a dispersion of fluorochemical dispersion to prevent liquid permeation into the glove. The process can include steps to gel the latex emulsion at interstices of the yarn to prevent further penetration of the emulsion into the liner.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2010Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Ansell Healthcare Products LLCInventors: Eric Thompson, Dave Narasimhan, Jeffrey C. Moreland, Hafsah Mohd Ghazaly

Gloves comprise a knitted liner having a plurality of stitches made from a first yarn having a denier 221 or less, the knitted liner comprising a plurality of finger components, a thumb component, and a palm component; and at least one reinforcement section located at a base of at least one finger component, at a base of the thumb component, in the palm component, or combinations thereof, and a polymeric latex coating. Reinforcement sections can be formed by plaiting, using yarn of a heavier denier, and/or forming Jacquard or transfer stitches. The liner can be knitted using with 70 to 221 denier nylon 66 multi-filament yarn. Methods of making and using the gloves are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2007Date of Patent: August 23, 2011Assignee: Ansell Healthcare Products LLCInventors: Eric Thompson, Dave Narasimhan, Jeffrey C.

Patent number: 7555921Abstract: A knitted glove made by creating each of the at least fifteen sections using a separate knitting course on a flat knitting machine providing varying stitch dimensions with one or two yarns in one or more sections. Custom stretch characteristics can be provided using one or two yarns providing a tight glove that provides flexibility and ease of movement. The varying stitch dimension is achieved by 1) varying the depth of penetration of the knitting needle into fabric being knitted by a computer program, 2) adjusting the tension of yarn between a pinch roll and knitting head by a mechanism controlled by a computer and/or 3) casting off or picking up additional stitches in a course. The glove includes four finger components, a thumb component, two palm components, and a wrist component. A padded cuff section can be added to the wrist component for comfort.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2008Date of Patent: July 7, 2009Assignee: Ansell Healthcare Products LLCInventors: Eric Thompson, Jeffrey C.
