Abstract
A glove comprising two elastic sheet materials, at least one of which consists essentially of a selected elastic polyurethane nonwoven fabric, in particular, relatively thin, is elastic, air and moisture permeable, dimensionally and texturally stable, nonslip and dustproof. It comfortably fits on the hand, substantially allowing fingers to move freely and retaining an exquisite sense of touch, and is particularly useful as a work or sport glove for slip-prevention and/or dustproofing purposes.
Claims14
A glove comprised of two elastic polyurethane sheets, at least one of which consists essentially of an elastic polyurethane fiber, nonwoven, air-permeable fabric, said two sheets being heat sealed together along the periphery thereof to form a configuration corresponding to the contour of a hand, leaving the wrist portion unsealed.
A glove comprised of two elastic polyurethane sheets, at least one of said sheets consisting essentially of an air-permeable, nonwoven fabric made of elastic polyurethane filaments and having a weight (x) of 50 to 150 g/m.sup.2, said nonwoven fabric consisting essentially of a multiplicity of substantially continuous, individual, polyurethane filaments disposed in randomly overlapping relationship to each other and bonded to each other at the points where they cross each other, said filaments having an average diameter of 30 microns or less, said nonwoven fabric having an elongation at break of 300 to 800%, a breaking strength of from 1.4 to 1.2 kg/cm, an elastic recovery percentage of at least 85% from 100% elongation and at least 90% from 50% elongation, an air permeability of at least 10 cc/cm.sup.2 /sec. and a bending resistance (y) in the range of 20 to 50 mm, wherein y<0.2x+30, said two sheets being heat sealed together along the periphery thereof to form a configuration corresponding to the contour of a hand, leaving the wrist portion unsealed.
