Abstract
A glove having a body portion of elastomeric material, a plurality of digit portions integrally formed with the body portion and extending outwardly therefrom, and a thumb portion extending outwardly on one edge of the bottom portion. A flexion is formed in the body portion and extends only partially around the root area of the thumb and onto the palm side and the backhand side of the body portion. The flexion is integrally formed with the body portion and has an area projecting outwardly of a surface of a body portion.
Claims17
A glove comprising:
- a body portion comprised of an elastomeric material, said body portion having a palm side and a backhand sides, said body portion having an opening at a bottom thereof;
- a plurality of digit portions integrally formed with said body portion and extending outwardly therefrom, said plurality of digit portions being in spaced relationship to each other;
- and
- a thumb portion extending outwardly on one edge of said body portion, said thumb portion having a root area contiguous with said body portion, said thumb portion being integrally formed with said body portion, said body portion having a flexion extending only partially around said root area of said thumb and extending onto to said palm side and said backhand side of said body portion, said flexion being integrally formed with said body portion and having an area projecting outwardly of a surface of said body portion, said thumb portion having a top adjacent said plurality of digit portions, said flexion having a width at said top of said thumb portion that is greater than a width of said flexion at a bottom of said thumb portion.
