Electrically heated glove with a flexible lattice heating structure

Claim 1

An electrically heated glove comprising: a flexible lattice structure comprising strands of plastic material individually having an electrical heater wire embedded therein and extending continuously in adjacent lengths along the length of said lattice structure, adjacent lengths of said strands of said lattice structure being interconnected by plastic material at spaced points, said lattice structure being opened laterally providing high lateral stretch of the structure, said heater wire having a plurality of heater wire loops extending from said lattice structure and interconnecting said adjacent lengths of said heater wire for the application of electrical current thereto said flexible lattice structure has thumb and finger regions and is folded in the region of the thumb and is folded in the region of the little finger and in which the other finger regions of said lattice structure comprise approximately half-finger regions positioned adjacent each other when the lattice structure is folded in the region of the little finger.
