Glove and Method of Removing Thereof
An improved glove and method of removing the glove is described herein. The glove can comprise a body, a cuff opening, a plurality of finger sections, and a grip. The cuff opening can be at the bottom end of the body. A wearer's hand can be insertable into the cuff opening. The base of the finger sections can be connected to the top end of the body. Each of the finger section can accommodate each finger of the wearer's hand. The grip can be attached to a surface of the glove. The grip can be used to remove the body from the hand. The method for removing the glove can comprise the steps of inserting one or more fingers into an opening of the grip, grasping onto the grip, and removing the gloves by pulling the grip away from the wearer's hand. The grip can be attached to the glove.
This disclosure relates to a system and method for taking off a glove. Glove is a hand garment that is commonly used to protect the hand against abrasions, dirt, harmful chemicals or contaminants. Glove can also provide comfort to the hand against cold or heat. Due to its uses gloves usually end up getting soiled and are usually prone to different kind of contaminations. Thus, proper way of removing a glove is essential to lessen a user's exposure to dirt or contaminants. After being used, one of the common methods used in removing a glove is through pulling the glove from the glove's cuff opening towards the fingers such that the glove is turned inside out. In such method, the exposed surface of the glove is now kept inside the glove. This method can be effective when the glove being used can be made of a thin material but can be difficult for gloves with thicker materials. Another common method used in removing glove is through pulling the glove from the fingertip. Such method can prevent the glove from being turned inside out. Though effective, such method can be time consuming and difficult since glove tends to stick to fingers or hands after use due to friction or sweat. As such it would be useful to have an improved system and method for taking off a glove.
