Claims20
A glove comprising:
- a fingertip portion;
- a backside comprising a first material;
- and
- a plurality of protrusions, wherein the protrusions protrude from the backside of the glove and extend in a first direction away from the backside, wherein the protrusions each comprise a second material that differs from the first material and have a base located on the backside of the glove, wherein the bases are unconnected to one another by any portion of the second material, and wherein the protrusions are configured to return to an undeformed resting shape when unloaded, and the undeformed resting shape extends from the base at an angle inclined toward the fingertip portion;
- wherein the base of at least one protrusion among the plurality of protrusions is kite-shaped.

A glove comprising:
- a fingertip portion;
- a plurality of flat gripping elements arranged on a front side of the glove;
- a plurality of protrusions comprising a first material, wherein the protrusions protrude from a backside of the glove, the backside of the glove comprising a second material that differs from the first material, and extend in a first direction away from the backside, wherein:
- the protrusions are configured to deform in a second direction that comprises a component perpendicular to the first direction;
- the protrusions each include a respective protrusion base located directly on the backside of the glove and on the fingertip portion;
- wherein the protrusion base of at least one protrusion among the plurality of protrusions is kite-shaped;
- the protrusions are unconnected to one another by any portion of the first material;
- and each protrusion among the plurality of protrusions has an undeformed resting shape that tapers from the protrusion base to a tip that is offset toward the fingertip portion of the glove from an axis extending perpendicularly from the protrusion base and through a center of the protrusion base.
