Abstract
An example cleaning glove includes a glove having a palm portion and at least one finger portion extending from the palm portion. Each of the palm portion and the finger portion has a front surface and a back surface. An abrasive layer is secured to the front surface of the palm portion, and the front surface and the back surface of the finger portion. The example cleaning glove may be used to clean many surfaces (e.g., dishes, countertops, etc.) and in many cleaning environments (e.g., public areas, restrooms, hospitals, etc.).
Description
- This invention relates generally to a cleaning glove. More particularly, this invention relates to a glove having an area incorporating an abrasive layer or surface.
- Gloves are commonly worn when cleaning. Gloves protect a user's hands from exposure to harmful cleaning agents, damaging environments, or both. Some gloves protect the user's hands from water, such as gloves worn when washing dishes. If unprotected, prolonged exposure to water, other liquids, or chemicals may damage the user's hands. Additionally, the gloves protect the user's hands from injuries caused by broken dishes, other sharp edges, or other abrasive cleaning surfaces.
- In some cases, wearing gloves may introduce challenges to cleaning. Grasping various items, such as soap or an abrasive sponge, may prove difficult when wearing gloves in a wet environment. That is, the water repelling glove surface protecting the user's hands from water damage also may cause slipping when trying to grasp an item. This challenge is especially relevant to the user wearing gloves while washing dishes. Slipping when washing dishes may result in broken dishes, which have sharp edges capable of injuring the user.
- Another challenge of cleaning while wearing gloves is effectively cleaning in confined areas. More specifically, it is difficult to scrub or scour confined areas with a sponge, brush, or other cleaning device. Also, wearing gloves effectively increases the user's overall hand size and can prevent accessing some areas, such as the interior surfaces of a drinking glass.
- Grasping a cleaning pad, (e.g., scouring pad, sponge, scrubbing pad) also complicates cleaning these areas. When grasping a cleaning pad, a clenched hand may be too large or awkward to extend within an article to be cleaned. Even if extendable within the article, the user may be unable to effectively maneuver their hand within the article to adequately scrub or scour. In some cases, the only way to access the entire interior of the article is to release the cleaning pad. This is not an effective or efficient way to clean as it eliminates the benefits of the cleaning pad. The user may utilize another type of cleaning tool, such as a long handled brush, but this approach adds time, and an additional tool, to the cleaning process. Further, the cleaning brush may not provide the detailed cleaning capable with a cleaning pad.
- What is needed is a cleaning device that facilitates cleaning confined areas and combines a cleaning pad with a protective glove.
- An example cleaning glove includes a glove having a palm portion and at least one finger portion extending from the palm portion. Each of the palm portion and the finger portion has a front surface and a back surface. An abrasive layer is secured to the front surface of the palm portion, and the front surface and the back surface of the finger portion. The example cleaning glove may be used to clean many surfaces (e.g., dishes, countertops, etc.) and in many cleaning environments (e.g., public areas, restrooms, hospitals, etc.).
- In another example, a cleaning glove includes a glove having a palm portion and at least one finger portion extending from the palm portion. Each of the palm portion and the finger portion has a front surface and a back surface. The abrasive material is melt bonded to the palm portion and the finger portion.
- Further examples of the cleaning glove are waterproof and include antimicrobial or antifungal properties. The example glove may include gripping features, which aid in handling items and facilitate movement of the hand within the glove.
- Various features and advantages of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description. The drawings that accompany the detailed description can be briefly described as follows.
-
FIG. 1 illustrates a back view of an example cleaning glove. -
FIG. 2 illustrates a user's hand. -
FIG. 3 illustrates a front view of the example cleaning glove. -
FIG. 4 illustrates a cross-sectional view of an abrasive layer melt bonded to the example cleaning glove. - An
example cleaning glove 10 ofFIG. 1 includes awrist portion 14, apalm portion 18, and at least onefinger portion 22. Thepalm portion 18 connects thewrist portion 14 and thefinger portions 22. Theexample glove 10 may be a waterproof glove such as a latex (synthetic or natural) rubber glove. Thewrist portion 14 includes an opening 26 providing access to the interior of theglove 10. - Referring now to
FIG. 2 with continuing reference toFIG. 1 , a user's hand 40 enters through the opening 26 to put on theglove 10. The interior surface of theglove 10 may include aliner 30 having a smooth or flocked surface, which aids in sliding theglove 10 over the hand 40. Theliner 30 lessens contact between the hand 40 and the latex portions of theglove 10. Theexample liner 30 may include pores, a hydrophilic material, or both, that absorb moisture, such as perspiration from the hand or wick moisture away from the user's hand 40.Fingers 44 and athumb 46 on the user's hand 40 are received into therespective finger portions 22 of theglove 10. - Referring now to
FIG. 3 , theglove 10 includes anabrasive layer 54 located on thepalm portion 18 and thefinger portions 22. Theabrasive layer 54 enhances the abrasive properties of thecleaning glove 10. In this example, theabrasive layer 54 primarily covers the front of theglove 10. More specifically, theabrasive layer 54 extends across the front of thepalm portion 18 to atip portion 58 of thefinger portions 22. Near thetip 58, theabrasive layer 54 wraps around the finger portions 22 (FIG. 1 ), i.e., theabrasive layer 54 covers the front and back of thefinger portions 22 near thetip 58. - This manner of covering the front and back of the
finger portions 22 with theabrasive layer 54 facilitates accessing and cleaning confined areas. For example, a user can scrub the interior surfaces of a narrow glass by extending a gloved index finger into the glass and using the entire circumference of thetips 58 to scrub the surfaces. - The example
abrasive layer 54 also covers other areas of theglove 10. For example, theabrasive layer 54 may extend alongside portions 64 of thefinger portions 22 of theglove 10. Of course, the exact location of theabrasive layer 54 on thepalm portion 18 and thefinger portions 22 may reflect the particular cleaning needs. For example, a user may desire that theabrasive layer 54 does not extend to thefinger portions 22 corresponding to the user's thumb, but does extend to thefinger portions 22 corresponding to the user's fingers. Further, theabrasive layer 54 may vary in thickness. As an example, theabrasive layer 54 on thefinger portions 22 may be thinner than theabrasive layer 54 on thepalm portion 18 of theglove 10. - In one example, the
abrasive layer 54 includes a plurality of non-woven fibers having a random orientation, which are melt bonded to thecleaning glove 10. The example fibers are polymer, metal, or both. Melt bonding techniques are known. Alternatively various adhesion techniques may secure theabrasive layer 54 to thepalm portion 18 and thefinger portions 22 of the cleaningglove 10, such as anadhesive layer 52, spray bonding, heat staking, etc. Given this description, one of ordinary skill in the art may be able to develop additional suitable techniques for securing theabrasive layer 54. -
FIG. 4 illustrates a sectional view through a portion of theglove 10 including theabrasive layer 54. In this example, theabrasive layer 54 includes a plurality of loosely assembledfibers 56 melt bonded to theglove 10. Thefibers 56 do not contact the user's hand 40 when the user wears theglove 10. Melt bonding theabrasive layer 54 to theglove 10 embeds portions of thefibers 56 within theglove 10. Thus thefibers 56 are mechanically interlocked with theglove 10. - In this example, the
fibers 56 of theabrasive layer 54 are loosely assembled. Thus when gripping a dish or similar object, theabrasive layer 54 compresses, which may cause the dish to slip from the user's grasp, as the user is unable to judge the actual position of the dish due to the compressing abrasive layer. That is, the user's perceived position of the dish within their grasp may not be the actual position of the dish. - In addition to cleaning dishes, the
glove 10 can be used to clean in various other environments. Janitors may use theglove 10 to clean bathroom fixtures (e.g., tubs and sinks). A user could additionally clean countertops or sanitize various areas, such as frequently cleaned areas within a hospital. - Optionally, the
glove 10 includes antimicrobial properties, such as incorporating an antimicrobial agent into theabrasive layer 54, the material of theglove 10, or both. Antifungal properties may be similarly incorporated. Techniques of incorporating antibacterial properties and antifungal properties in a glove are known. As theexample glove 10 is typically worn in environments that are conducive to fungal growth, such as moist environments, incorporating antifungal properties into theglove 10 discourages fungal formation. U.S. Pat. No. 6,560,782 to Hourihan discloses an example technique for incorporating antimicrobial properties in latex based gloves. The technique of Hourihan incorporates an antimicrobial agent, such as diiodomethyl-p-tolylsulfone, into layers of material forming the glove. - Optionally, the
glove 10 includesgripping features 50 to aid the user in judging the position of the dish (FIG. 3 ). Theexample gripping features 50 are raised ridges of thefinger portions 22 orpalm portion 18. The gripping features 50 are thicker than other areas of theglove 10. In another example, thegripping feature 50 is an area of the cleaningglove 10 void ofabrasive layer 54. The gripping features 50 provide a substantially direct path from the user's hand 40 through theglove 10 to the dish, which enhances the tactile properties of the glove. In so doing, the grippingfeatures 50 help to match the user's perceived position of the dish with the actual position. The gripping features 50 may further include a textured pattern on the surface. - The
fingers 44 andthumb 46 of the user's hand 40 include several joints having hinge points 48 such as knuckles. In one example, the grippingfeatures 50 generally align with the hinge points 48 of the user's hand 40. Eliminating theabrasive layer 54 from areas of the cleaningglove 10 adjacent to thehinge point 48 facilitate movement of the user's hand 40 and, more specifically, the user'sfingers 44 andthumb 46. - The preceding description is exemplary rather than limiting in nature. Various modifications to the disclosed examples can be apparent to those skilled in the art that do not necessarily depart from the essence of this disclosure. The scope of legal protection given to this disclosure can only be determined by studying the following claims.
