ABSTRACT:
A multi-layer waterproof fireman's glove is disclosed. The inner liner of the glove is sewn to a moisture barrier layer in an inside/out position at tip extension portions that extend from the moisture barrier. The tip extension portions are formed beyond a line of sealing in the moisture barrier layer. The location of the stitches on the moisture barrier layer is thus outside the sealed region surrounding the hand. The moisture barrier layer is then reversed back over the inner liner such that it overlies the inner liner and attachment tabs are applied at each of the fingertips. The attachment tabs are then sewn to the exterior glove layer, which is in an inside/out position during attachment. The exterior glove layer is then reversed back over the moisture barrier/inner liner combination. As a result, in a preferred embodiment three layers of the glove are firmly affixed together while avoiding the use of glue, yet none of the stitches puncture the sealed portion of the moisture barrier layer that surrounds the hand. In an alternate embodiment, the attachment tabs connect the inner liner and the moisture barrier layer, while the tip extensions are attached to the exterior glove layer. In an alternate embodiment the attachment tabs affix the inner liner to the moisture barrier layer. When the moisture barrier layer is reversed to overlie the inner liner, the tip extensions are exposed and used to attach the moisture barrier layer to the exterior glove layer. In certain embodiments, the material of the moisture barrier layer is comprised of a material that is resistant to one or more types of hazardous chemicals.
