  • Publication number: 20240065352
    Abstract: An improved glove has both anatomically correlating stress relief zones and/or reinforced zones to add support in areas opposite the stress relief zones to keep bunching or slipping of the glove from interfering with the bending of the user's joints. The glove may have corrugated relief zones over some or all of the joints and knuckles of the hand, wherein the relief zones are formed of peaks and valleys. A relief zone can also be provided over the webbing between the thumb and the palm. The vertical or longitudinal relief zones provide for improved glove quality while keeping manufacturing difficulty and costs at a minimum.

  • Publication number: 20200375285
    Abstract: The present invention is to an improved elastomeric glove having stress relief zones to reduce user fatigue. The glove may have stress relief areas between and over some or all of the joints, knuckles and bones of the hand, wherein the relief zones are formed of asymmetrical or symmetrical humps. Alternatively, these raised relief zone areas are formed of asymmetrical or symmetrical diamond shaped or frusto-diamond shaped zones. A relief zone can also be provided over the webbing between the thumb and the palm. A relief zone can also be provided over the soft tissue webbing between the thumb and the forefinger on the dorsal and ventral surface of the hand. The diamond/humped shaped relief zones provide for improved (consistent) glove function and quality while keeping manufacturing challenges and costs to a minimum.
