A thin elastomeric glove with enhanced gripping surfaces molded into the gripping surfaces of the glove is described. Preferably, the enhanced gripping surface is molded into each of the finger and thumb tips and body portions of the gloves. The enhanced gripping surface may be comprised of a plurality of concave indentations molded into the gripping surfaces of the glove. Alternatively, the enhanced gripping surface is comprised of a plurality of suction cups molded into the gripping surfaces of the glove. The glove may be constructed of any natural or synthetic rubber latex or blends or combinations thereof and has a thickness between about 0.004 to about 0.012 inches, an elongation greater than about 200%, a tensile strength between about 1500 to about 5000 psi and a 500% modulus between about 300 to about 2000 psi.
A thin elastomeric glove having an outer surface for coming into contact with an object to be held said surface comprised of a plurality of planar contact areas and a plurality of suction areas wherein the suction area is comprised of a plurality of concave indentations and wherein the glove is comprised of nitrile rubber and wherein the thickness of the glove is between about 0.004 to about 0.012 inches.
A thin elastomeric glove having an outer surface for coming into contact with an object to be held said surface comprised of a plurality of planar contact areas and a plurality of suction areas wherein the suction area is comprised of a plurality of concave indentations and wherein the outer surface for coming into contact with an object to be held is confined to the finger tips and finger body portions and thumb tip and thumb body portion of said glove.
A thin elastomeric glove having an outer surface for coming into contact with an object to be held said surface comprised of a plurality of planar contact areas and a plurality of suction areas wherein the suction area is comprised of a plurality of concave indentations and wherein the outer surface for coming into contact with an object to be held is confined to the index finger tip and thumb tip of said glove.
A thin elastomeric glove with a thickness between about 0.004 to about 0.012 inches comprised of nitrile rubber having an outer surface for coming into contact with an object to be held said surface comprised of a plurality of suction cups.
