Process for making custom configured electrical lineman's gloves

A process for producing a glove, comprising the steps of:

• making a three dimensional image of the individual's hand
• transmitting said image to an appropriately programmed computer to make a three-dimensional computer model;
• transmitting said computer model from a computer to a three-dimensional printer;
• creating, through said three dimensional printer, a glove former corresponding to said three dimensional computer model;
• treating the glove former with a hardener or sealant;
• and
• dipping said glover former in a dielectric material to form an electric rated glove on the former corresponding to the shape to the wearer's hand.

A process for producing glove, comprising the steps of;

• making an image of an individual's hand;
• constructing a mold based upon the three dimensional image of the hand;
• molding a glove former in the mold;
• and
• forming a glove on the glove former.

A system for making an electrical rated glove comprising:

• a scanner for making a 3-dimensional image of a hand;
• an appropriately programmed computer for converting the 3-dimensional image of a hand into a 3-dimensional computer model of a glove;
• an appropriately programmed 3-dimensional printer for printing a 3-dimensional glove former from the 3-dimensional computer model of a glove;
• and
• apparatus for dipping the 3-dimensional glove former in a dielectric material to form an electrical rated glove on the glove former.

A method of providing a custom made glove designed to fit the hand of an individual, comprising:

• receiving a request for a glove designed to fit the hand of an individual;
• having an image made of the hand of the individual;
• having a glove former made based upon the image of the hand of the individual;
• making a glove from the former;
• and
• providing said glove to the individual.
