Abstract: A glove having a string knit body has a leather palm which is assembled to the string knit body with a narrow band of fabric secured at its edges to the string knit body and the leather palm. Seams are turned inside the glove but outside the string knit body and the narrow band of fabric spaces the leather from the string knit body to improve comfort.

Abstract: A work glove is provided having some liquid resistance. The work glove consists of an outer fabric shell which has a plastisol coating on the fabric on an interior surface of the glove to cover a palm portion and inner surfaces of the glove. An inner comfort liner covers the plastisol coating to cushion the palm and absorb some perspiration. Preferably, the outer fabric shell is a circular knitted cotton fabric which provides good grip on oily metal surfaces. A method of fabrication is also provided.

Abstract: A glove liner which can be used in harsh environments to protect the user's hand from cuts and burns is disclosed. In so doing, the liners are made in two layers, with each layer performing a particular function. The inner layer is made from heat resistant material which will protect the user's hand from being burned in harsh environments. The outer layer is made from material which is cut resistant thereby preventing the user's hand from being cut or punctured and also preventing the heat resistant layer from being damaged. The liner is manufactured in such a manner as to provide the firefighter with maximum agility and mobility in his hand. The liner also protects the user in environments where the liner is not fully effective. In extremely harsh environments, it is conceivable that the user's hand may be burned. In such instances, the design of the liner allows the outer glove to be removed from the user's hand without damaging the skin of the user.

Abstract: An electrostatic grounding hand covering in the form of a glove, made from a relatively nonconductive material such as acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer, or other polymer or polymer blend, and having an electrically conductive tape on inner and outer surfaces of the glove. The electrically conductive tape runs from the outside surface to the inner and provides a path for an electrostatic charge to pass between an object in contact with the electrically conductive tape and the hand and finally to ground.
