Abstract
A multi-material glove providing warmth and improved grip while not having a significant negative impact on the dexterity of the use is disclosed. The multi-material glove includes a first material constituting the index finger, thumb finger and area between the index finger and thumb finger, a second material constituting the back hand side of the glove, including the pinky finger, ring finger and middle finger, and a third material constituting the palm of the glove, including the pinky finger, ring finger and middle finger.
Description
- The present application claims priority to U.S. design patent application filed May 15, 2008 entitled “Multi-Material Glove,” the entirety of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
- Numerous gloves for outdoor sporting activities, such as fishing and hunting, exist in the marketplace. Such gloves are typically designed to provide the user with warmth while also providing improved grip on objects, such as a fishing pole or a hunting rifle. In order to provide both warmth and improved grip, such gloves typically include a base made of warm material, such as wool or fleece, with sections of synthetic rubber attached to the base at various locations, such as the palm or fingers of the glove. The sections of synthetic rubber may be sewn to the base or attached via an adhesive material. In such a glove, the user's hand does not directly contact the synthetic rubber material since the synthetic rubber material is laid on top of the exterior portion of the wool or fleece glove.
- Alternatively, some prior art gloves use different materials to make up different sections of the base of the glove. For example, the fingers and back portion of the glove may be made of a warm material, such as wool or fleece, while the palm of the glove may be made of synthetic rubber material. The wool or fleece portion of the glove may meet the synthetic rubber portion of the glove at seams located at the boundaries of the palm. The two materials may be joined together either be sewing the sections together at the seams, or by using an adhesive material at the seems. In such a glove, the user's hand is in direct contact with both the wool or fleece material (at the fingers and back portion of the glove) and the synthetic rubber material (at the palm of the glove).
- In these type of previously known gloves, the user benefits from the warmth and increased grip of the glove, but suffers from the decreased dexterity caused by the glove. When the different materials of the glove are formed over one another, the thickness of the glove is increased, thereby making it more difficult for a user to manipulate his fingers, such as using a trigger finger to fire a hunting rifle. When the different materials of the glove make up different sections of the glove, the thickness of the materials used (i.e., wool, fleece, synthetic rubber) is normally still too thick (e.g., warm materials such as wool or fleece) or too rigid (e.g., synthetic rubber) to provide the user with the type of dexterity desired in many outdoor sporting activities.
- The instant disclosure relates generally to multi-material gloves. The multi-material gloves may be capable of providing the user with both warmth and improved grip while not having a significant negative impact on the user's dexterity. In some embodiments, the glove may be suitable for use in outdoor sporting activities, such as hunting and fishing, where warmth, grip and dexterity are all desirable features in a glove.
- One aspect of the instant disclosure relates to a multi-material glove. In certain embodiments, the multi-material glove may comprise a hand portion and a thumb tubular portion, an index finger tubular portion, a middle finger tubular portion, a ring finger tubular portion, and a pinky finger tubular portion extending from the hand portion. The hand portion may include a palm side and a back hand side. Each of the tubular portions may also include a palm side and a back hand side. The material of the thumb tubular portion, index tubular portion and section of the hand portion extending between the thumb tubular portion and index finger tubular portion may comprise a first material. The back hand side of the hand portion and the back hand side of the middle finger tubular portion, ring finger tubular portion and pinky finger tubular portion may comprise a second material. The palm side of the hand portion and the palm side of the middle finger tubular portion, ring finger tubular portion and pinky finger tubular portion may comprise a third material. The first material, second material and third material may all be different materials.
- Features from any of the above mentioned embodiments may be used in combination with one another, without limitation. In addition, other features and advantages of the instant disclosure will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art through consideration of the ensuing description, the accompanying drawings, and the appended claims.
