Abstract
The described invention relates to an ambidextrous working glove having fish scale-textured inner and outer surfaces and methods of making same.
Claims20
A method for making a textured ambidextrous glove comprising:
- dipping a former into a first polymer solution, the former having a textured surface comprising a pattern of islands surround by channels and configured to impart the pattern to an inner surface of the ambidextrous glove and the reverse of the pattern to an outer surface of the ambidextrous glove;
- dipping the former into a first polymer solution;
- removing the former from the first polymer solution, the first polymer of the first polymer solution coating the former;
- drying the former coated with the first polymer, the first polymer forming a film;
- dipping the former coated with the film of the first polymer into a second polymer solution;
- and
- stripping the resulting textured ambidextrous glove from the former to invert the textured ambidextrous glove such that the surface of the textured ambidextrous glove contacting the former becomes the outer surface.

A former for making an ambidextrous glove having fish scale-textured inner and outer surfaces wherein:
- a. the surface of the former is textured on a front and back of the region of the former that forms the fingers of the ambidextrous glove;
- b. the surface of the former is textured on the region of the former that forms the palm of the ambidextrous glove;
- c. the surface of the former is textured on the region of the former that forms the back of the ambidextrous glove;
- and
- d. the surface of the former is textured on the region of the former that forms a region of the thumb that faces the palm of the ambidextrous glove.
2 more elements
A former for making an ambidextrous glove comprising:
- a first region for forming the fingers of the ambidextrous glove;
- a second region for forming a thumb of the ambidextrous glove;
- a third region for forming a palm and a back of the ambidextrous glove;
- and
- a textured surface comprising a pattern of islands surrounded by channels, the textured surface being located on:
- a front and a back of the first region;
- a portion of the second region that faces the third region;
- and
- the third region;
- wherein the textured surface is configured to impart the pattern to an inner surface of the ambidextrous glove and a reverse of the pattern to an exterior surface of the ambidextrous glove.
