Antivibration glove

An antivibration glove comprising:

• a glove body having a glove front and a glove back, said glove front and glove back defining an opening for accepting a human hand and a recess for receiving said hand, said glove front including a palm portion and a finger portion;
• and
• a vibration dampener essentially disposed in the glove recess adjacent the glove front, said vibration dampener including a layer of viscoelastic material having internal non-interconnecting gas-filled bubbles disposed therein of a predertemined size and density.

An antivibration glove comprising:

• a glove body having a glove front and a glove back, said glove front and glove back defining an opening for accepting a human hand and a recess for receiving said hand, said glove front including a palm portion and a finger portion;
• and
• a vibration dampener consisting of at least one layer of viscoelastic material and at least one layer of foam material essentially disposed in the glove recess adjacent the glove front, said layer of viscoelastic material being of a predetermined non-uniform shape.

An antivibration glove comprising:

• a glove body having a glove front and a glove back, said glove front and glove back defining an opening for accepting a human hand and a recess for receiving said hand, said glove front including a palm portion and a finger portion;
• and
• a vibration dampener consisting of at least one layer of viscoelastic material and at least one layer of foam material essentially disposed in the glove recess adjacent the glove front, said layer of viscoelastic material extending generally from the glove opening to the opposite end of the glove, said layer of viscoelastic material being relatively thicker near the glove palm area and ball of the thumb and relatively thinner adjacent the finger portion of the glove front.

An antivibration glove comprising:

• a glove body having a glove front and a glove back, said glove front and glove back defining an opening for accepting a human hand and a recess for receiving said hand, said glove front including a palm portion and a finger portion;
• a vibration dampener essentially disposed in the glove recess adjacent the glove front, said vibration dampener including a layer of viscoelastic material disposed adjacent at least the palm portion of the glove front, said layer of viscoelastic material being creased so as to facilitate manipulation of the glove.

An antivibration glove comprising:

• a glove body having a glove front and a glove back, said glove front and glove back defining an opening for accepting a human hand and a recess for receiving said hand, said glove front including a palm portion and a finger portion;
• and
• a vibration dampener consisting of at least one layer of viscoelastic material and at least one layer of foam material essentially disposed in the glove recess adjacent the glove front, said layer of viscoelastic material being disposed in the glove recess adjacent to the glove front and the palm portion of the glove front, and said layer of viscoelastic material being preformed in a curved shape corresponding at least partially to the rest position of a human hand.

An antivibration glove comprising:

• a glove body having a glove front and a glove back, said glove front and glove back defining an opening for accepting a human hand and a recess for receiving said hand, said glove front including a palm portion and a finger portion;
• and
• a vibration dampener consisting of at least one layer of viscoelastic material and at least one layers of foam material essentially disposed in the glove recess adjacent the glove front, said vibration dampener extending from the palm portion to the finger portion of the glove front and dampening applied vibration in the range from 200 Hz to 1250 Hz by at least 40%.
