Abstract
A mechanical counter pressure glove system, that can be used in low-pressure environments such as outer space, is provided. The system includes a low friction base glove defining an internal volume for receiving a hand of a wearer. A pressure inducing glove is donned on the low friction glove so as to apply a mechanical pressure on the hand. The low friction material of the base glove facilitates donning of the pressure inducing glove.
Claims14
A mechanical counter pressure glove system, comprising;
- a first base glove defining an internal volume for receiving a hand of a wearer;
- and
- a pressure inducing glove, the pressure inducing glove being over the first base glove so as to apply a mechanical pressure on the hand, wherein a low friction material of the first base glove facilitates donning of the pressure inducing glove.
A donning-enabling garment for use in a mechanical counter pressure glove system, comprising:
- a seamless body of a low friction material defining an internal volume for receiving a hand of a wearer, wherein the seamless body is knitted from a yarn that is made of the low friction material and wherein the seamless body defines a finger portion for receiving the fingers and the thumb, a palm portion for receiving the palm, and a wrist portion for receiving the wrist of the hand.
