152 words
An elastic form-fitting glove which comprises an arm and wrist portion, a hand portion having a palm and a back generally parallel to said arm and wrist portion, finger portions including index and middle finger portions, and a thumb portion, in which said thumb portion has a first joint portion, in which, in asmolded configuration, the center of said first joint portion is transversely located forward of said palm and laterally positioned outside of the outside edge of said index finger portion, said finger portions having longitudinal axes which are generally parallel to each other, the axis of the middle finger portion being essentially coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the arm and wrist portion, said thumb portion having a longitudinal axis oriented from said first joint to the tip of the thumb portion at an acute transverse angle to said finger portion axes inclining away from said palm and finger portions.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
152 words
An elastic form-fitting glove which comprises an arm and wrist portion, a hand portion having a palm and a back generally parallel to said arm and wrist portion, finger portions including index and middle finger portions, and a thumb portion, in which said thumb portion has a first joint portion, in which, in asmolded configuration, the center of said first joint portion is transversely located forward of said palm and laterally positioned outside of the outside edge of said index finger portion, said finger portions having longitudinal axes which are generally parallel to each other, the axis of the middle finger portion being essentially coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the arm and wrist portion, said thumb portion having a longitudinal axis oriented from said first joint to the tip of the thumb portion at an acute transverse angle to said finger portion axes inclining away from said palm and finger portions.
