ABSTRACT:
The improved glove of the present invention is particularly adapted for protective use by a mechanic or other workman who may encounter sharp and/or heavy solid objects, such as exposed parts of an engine or chassis. The glove includes a protective, hand-enclosing sheath, preferably porous and of rubber, cloth or filamentary mesh. The sheath has a knuckle-protecting surface, a palm-protecting surface and non-slip finger gripping surfaces facing each other, as on the thumb and index finger, to facilitate handling of wrenches and other tools, etc. The non-slip surfaces preferably are added to the sheath and fabricated of corrugated rubber, etc.
The knuckle-protecting surfaces may also be added to the sheath, if the sheath material itself does not afford sufficient protection. In such a case, the knuckle-protecting surface may comprise a transverse portion to protect the knuckles on the back of the hand, and one or more longitudinal portions, preferably connected thereto by thin flexible strips, to protect the finger knuckles. The pads as well as the sheath may be porous to make the glove comfortable to wear. Such glove is inexpensive, durable, fully protective and ideally adapted to provide improved handling of tools.
