Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved bonding mitt for small animals. Embodiments of the present invention provide a therapeutic bonding mitt having a soft exterior surface comprised of fleece, a textured interior, an opening for a hand, and a webbed structure that comforts the animal being handled. The soft exterior provides a surface to cradle or pet an animal with a feel that's more comforting to the animal than that of a human hand while the interior provides a texture for grip. These elements are attached in a manner that creates a webbed structure that also enhances the therapeutic effect on the animal being handled and a hand opening that enables a user to comfortably place their hand into the therapeutic bonding mitt.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides a protective sports glove having a novel combination of liner sections, breathable mesh sections, stretch joints, and shock absorbing cushions to provide maximum protection to the user's fingers, hands, wrists, and lower forearms while maintaining as much flexibility within the glove and tactile feel on both palmar and dorsal sides of the glove as possible. A novel 2-panel palmar section construction eliminates the presence of seams, stitching or excess material in a critical area on the palmar side of a wearer's hand to further improve tactile feel and grip.

Abstract: An antimicrobial, cut-resistant composite yarn which has a core member including at least one cut-resistant strand, a cover member including at least one strand wrapped around and enclosing the core member, wherein at least one strand in either the core member or the cover member is treated with and incorporates an antimicrobial compound. The yarn can be used to fabricate cut-resistant garments, such as gloves, worn by meat cutters and others who work with knives, saws and other sharp implements. The antimicrobial effect reduces bacteria, mold and fungi growth on the garments between washings.

Abstract: A regimen for hunting includes using a number of activated carbon-containing personal items in connection with a hunter's apparel and body to reduce the hunter's scent for improved hunting. The personal items include mouthwash, deodorant/antiperspirant, body and boot powder, bar and liquid soap for cleansing the body and hair, laundry detergent and dryer sheets. Each of the personal items includes an effective amount of activated carbon, so that use of the personal items reduces the available scent to be detected by animals in the wild.

Abstract: A multi-layer protective glove fabric comprises a base cloth layer, a second stretchable cloth layer overlying the base layer, a third latex layer coated on the base layer and a fourth wax layer over the third latex layer to prevent the latex coating layer from blooming. The method of manufacturing a protective glove with this multi-layer construction includes (1) heating a fabric layer at a first elevated temperature; (2) applying a viscous latex spreading compound over a surface of the fabric layer at a second, lower elevated temperature, to prevent the latex from penetrating the fabric layer but ensuring its adhesion to the fabric layer; (3) applying wax over the latex at least at the first elevated temperature, to prevent the latex from blooming; (4) adhering an opposed surface of the fabric layer to a second fabric layer to form the multi-layer fabric and (5) forming the multi-layer fabric into a glove.

Abstract: A palmless golf glove which allows for a normal grip stance of the golf club, chaffing protection for at least the second and third fingers, prevention of slippage and full palm tactility. The palmless golf glove includes a body section for covering a selected portion of the back (anterior) of the hand but not any of the palm of the hand, at least second and third finger receptacles connected to a forward end of the body section, and a wrist band for anchoring the palmless golf glove to the hand without slippage. In the preferred embodiment, the palmless golf glove includes finger receptacles for selected fingers and a body section that completely exposes the palm. The wrist band is connectably operated by a VELCRO (trademark of Velcro, USA) and includes a notch which exposes the styloid process of the wrist. By exposing the palm completely, tactility is maximized. By exposing the ball of the wrist articulative movement is maximized.

Abstract: A new Protective Glove for covering the hands of a user and protecting hosiery and other delicate fabrics from snags and tears caused by rough skin or jagged fingernails. The glove is intended for use while putting on and taking off pantyhose and silk garments. The inventive device includes a palm piece, a back piece, a gusset panel, and a thumb stall joined together to fit a human hand, wherein the palm piece and the back piece each have a first finger section for receiving an index finger of the user and a second finger section for receiving a middle finger, a ring finger, and a little finger of the user, and wherein the gusset panel interconnects the palm piece and the back piece between and along adjacent sides of the index finger and the middle finger. The gusset panel allows for maximum mobility of the index finger of the user of the glove. The glove is fabricated of a lightweight and smooth material, such as nylon, so as to enable the user to easily guide pantyhose on and off.

Abstract: A grip control glove (10) for a handgun (12) comprising a covering (14) for a hand (16) of a person. The covering (14) has a pocket (18) therein, so that a middle finger (20), ring finger (22) and pinkie (24) of the hand (16) are bent back to grasp a handle (26) of the handgun (12) inserted into the pocket (18)) of the covering (14). An index trigger finger (28) and thumb (30) of the hand (16) will extend out of the pocket (18) of the covering (14) for freedom of movement to fire the handgun (16).

Abstract: A three-fingered golf glove, comprising a middle finger portion, a ring finger portion, and a little finger portion, which has the curvatures of the fingers fully gripping a golf club handle, leaving the thumb and the index finger uncovered; a plurality of fourchettes having external edges; each external edge comprising three segments of straight lines connected by two small joint curved arcs; a curved end side piece having the shape of the lower side of a hand fully gripping a golf club handle; the finger portions, when assembled, having trapezoidal cross-sections; a palm tautening strap being fastened to connect the palm side finger portions and the rear side finger portions while the hand is in a shape fully gripping a golf club handle, forming a loop of tensile force perpendicular to the club axis to completely eliminate bunching and wrinkling at the entire palm section of the glove; a thumb strap forming a force line at the palm portion in the direction parallel to the club axis; reinforcing threads stit
