  • Patent number: 7146648
    Abstract: Hand-operable implements include a plurality of inflatable gloves that are sized and shaped for protruding beyond a user's metacarpals. The gloves are formed from air-impermeable material, have rear sides including a plurality of auxiliary support bands attached thereto, and have substantially smooth and planar front surfaces such that when a user engages the gloves during operating conditions, an elevated acoustic sound is generated therefrom. Each auxiliary support band extends upwardly and away from the rear sides of the gloves. The implements further include a mechanism for allowing a user to selectively inflate the gloves to a desired pressure level such that the user may enjoy use of the gloves during recreational activities as well as fold and store the gloves during non-operating conditions.
