  • Patent number: 6371290
    Abstract: A reusable package for an athletic glove includes a body made of non-flaccid translucent plastic. The body has two halves joined together along a living hinge, such that the body can be moved between an open configuration, wherein the interior of the package is exposed, and a closed configuration, wherein a glove can be enclosed by the package. To facilitate drying the glove after it is used and then replaced back into the package in a substantially unfolded, relaxed configuration, one of the body halves is formed with vent holes. The other body half is formed with a relatively thinner area that functions as a window, with the remainder of the body half being thicker than the window.
