Abstract
The present invention provides a glove for a wearer. The glove has a hand covering portion and an arm covering portion connected to the hand covering portion. The arm covering portion has a number of segments with each connected to one another by a pivot. The arm covering portion in a first position covers and protects the wearer. The arm covering portion in a second position forms an obstruction to prevent a liquid from contacting the wearer with the obstruction trapping the liquid therein.
Claims16
A glove for a wearer, the glove comprising:
- a hand covering portion;
- an arm covering portion being connected to said hand covering portion, said arm covering portion having a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment;
- and
- at least two pivots, wherein each adjacent pair of said plurality of segments are connected to one another by at least one pivot, wherein said arm covering portion in a first position covers and protects the wearer, and in a second position forms an obstruction for preventing a liquid from contacting the wearer, and for trapping the liquid therein,
- wherein said third segment folds over said second segment to form said obstruction, and the pivot between said second segment and said third segment forms an outer edge that is pointed in a direction toward said hand covering portion when said arm covering portion is in said second position.
A glove for a wearer, the glove comprising:
- a hand covering portion;
- and
- an arm covering portion being connected to said hand covering portion, said arm covering portion having a first cylindrical section with a first diameter, said first cylindrical section being connected to a second cylindrical section, said second cylindrical section having a second diameter greater than said first diameter,
- wherein said arm covering portion has an indentation, said indentation having a diameter less than said first diameter so that said indentation projects directly inward toward the wearer for improved fit,
- wherein said indentation is adjacent to a first bulbous member and a second bulbous member opposite said first bulbous member on said arm covering portion, and wherein said indentation forms a negative space between said first bulbous member and said second bulbous member, and
- wherein said second cylindrical section forms an obstruction for diverting liquid therefrom.
A glove for a wearer, the glove comprising:
- a hand covering portion;
- and
- an arm covering portion being connected to said hand covering portion, said arm covering portion having a first cylindrical section with a first diameter, said first cylindrical section being connected to a second cylindrical section, said second cylindrical section having a second diameter greater than said first diameter,
- wherein said arm covering portion has an indentation, said indentation having a diameter less than said first diameter so that said indentation projects directly toward the wearer for improved fit,
- wherein said second cylindrical section forms an obstruction for diverting liquid therefrom, and
- wherein said indentation is a pivot line having a gauge change in a material forming the glove.
