ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention pertains generally to gloves, and particularly to work gloves worn by workers handling heavy articles such as steel plate, plywood, sawn lumber, etc.
Gloves worn by workers handling such products are subjected to extreme wear to the extent it is not uncommon to wear out a pair of gloves in a week or so. Glove wear can be extended by making a glove suitable for use on either hand so as to increase the number of areas subjected to such wear simply by inverting and switching the glove from one hand to the other. Such a glove is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,779,289, issued to the present inventor and has an insert defining the thumb-index finger crotch area with the insert having a perimeter overlain by a perimeter of an opening in the glove body.
In the prior art, U.S. Pat. Nos. 1,984,183; 1,554,291; 1,673,517 and 3,739,400 show two sided work gloves for wear on either hand.
SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
The present invention is embodied in a glove for wear on either hand and particularly suited for the handling of heavy articles yet being very flexible.
The present glove comprises five pieces facilitating economical cutting and assembly of the pieces with a palm component including a thumb member and a first finger stall while a finger piece includes the remaining finger stalls. A pair of thumb inserts and an outside member of the thumb complete the components of the glove.
Important objectives of the present glove is the provision of a glove of a highly flexible nature to provide a glove comfortable to wear throughout a work day. A further objective of the present glove is the prevention of glove damage and shortened glove life by utilizing concealed stitching. Such stitching avoids the risk of the glove snagging on a work piece.
