Paneled dip-coated work glove

Claim 2

A dip-coated work glove comprising: an exterior surface layer of plastic material enveloping a substantial portion of said work glove, an interior lining layer which directly contacts and surrounds a hand upon insertion of said hand into said glove, said interior lining layer having a front portion, a back portion, and extension panel means, said front portion, back portion and extension panel means integrated into one piece by lining portion attachment means, and said interior lining layer and said exterior surface layer integrally joined to one another in a juxtaposed position by layer attachment means.

Claim 3

The invention of claim 1 in which said exterior surface layer of plastic material comprises: a non-porous substantially high molecular weight plastic substance which is capable of being dip-coated onto said interior lining layer so as to form said exterior surface layer, said substance being impervious to liquids and enveloping said substantial portion of said work glove so as to liquid-proof said substantial portion of said glove, whereby said substantial portion of said work glove can be immersed in liquid without penetration of said exterior surface layer by said liquid.

Claim 4

The invention of claim 1 in which said exterior surface layer of plastic material comprises: a substantially high molecular weight plastic substance which is capable of being dip-coated onto said interior lining layer so as to form said exterior surface layer, said substance having such a composition so as to enable treatment of said substance so as to impart minute porous orifices into said substance and impart a texture of minute plastic projections onto the outer surface of said exterior surface layer plastic material whereby additional elasticity, dexterity and comfort is developed in said glove.

Claim 5

The invention of claim 1 in which said substantial portion of said work glove which is enveloped by said exterior surface layer comprises the portion of said glove which covers and extends from a wearer's wrist up through the portion of said glove which covers said wearer's fingers.

Claim 6

The invention of claim 1 in which said interior lining layer comprises: a gauzy textile fabric whereby said hand is comfortably separated from contact with said exterior surface layer of plastic material.

Claim 7

The invention of claim 1 in which said extension panel means of said interior lining layer further comprises: at least one sidewall between said front portion and said back portion of said lining layer, said sidewall cooperating with said front portion and said back portion so as to describe a hand region in said lining of said glove, and said sidewall attached to said front portion and said back portion by said lining portion attachment means.

Claim 8

The invention of claim 1 in which said lining portion attachment means comprises one or more stitched and sewn seams joining said front portion, said back portion, and said extension panel means into an integral interior lining layer.

Claim 9

A dip-coated work glove comprising: an exterior surface layer of plastic material enveloping a substantial portion of said work glove, an interior lining layer which directly contacts and surrounds a hand upon insertion of said hand into said glove. said interior lining layer having a front portion, a back portion, and extension panel means, said front portion, back portion and and extension panel means integrated into one piece by lining portion attachment means, said extension panel means comprising at least one fourchette between said front portion and said back portion of said lining layer, said fourchette cooperating with said front portion and said back portion so as to form a finger region in said lining of said glove, said fourchette attached to said front portion and said back portion by said lining portion attachment means, said interior lining layer and said exterior surface layer integrally joined to one another in a juxtaposed position by layer attachment means.

Claim 10

A dip-coated work glove comprising: an exterior surface layer of plastic material enveloping a substantial portion of said work glove, an interior lining layer which directly contacts and surrounds a hand upon insertion of said hand into said glove. said interior lining layer having a front portion, a back portion, and extension panel means, said front portion, back portion and and extension panel means integrated into one piece by lining portion attachment means, said extension panel means comprising at least one fourchette between said front portion and said back portion of said lining layer, said fourchette cooperating with said front portion and said back portion so as to form a finger region in said lining of said glove, said fourchette attached to said front portion and said back portion by said lining portion attachment means, said interior lining layer and said exterior surface layer integrally joined to one another in a juxtaposed position by layer attachment means.

Claim 11

The invention of claim 8 in which said extension panel means of said interior lining layer further comprises: at least one sidewall between said front portion and back portion of said lining layer, said sidewall cooperating with said front portion and said back portion so as to describe a hand region in said lining of said glove, and said sidewall attached to said front portion and said back portion by said lining portion attachment means.

Claim 12

The invention of claim 9 in which said lining portion attachment means comprises one or more stitched and sewn seams joining said front portion, said back portion, and said extension panel means into a integral interior lining layer.

Claim 13

A dip-coated work glove comprising: an exterior surface layer of plastic material enveloping a substantial portion of said work glove, an interior lining layer which directly contacts and surrounds a hand upon insertion of said hand into said glove, said interior lining layer having a front portion, a back portion, and extension panel means, said front portion, back portion and and extension panel means integrated into one piece by lining portion attachment means, and said interior lining layer and said exterior surface layer integrally joined to one another in a juxtaposed position by layer attachment means, said layer attachment means comprising a molecular bond between said exterior surface layer material and said interior lining layer.

Claim 14

A dip-coated work glove comprising: an exterior surface layer of plastic material enveloping a substantial portion of said work glove, an interior lining layer which directly contacts and surrounds a hand upon insertion of said hand into said glove, said interior lining layer having a front portion, a back portion, and extension panel means, said front portion, back portion and and extension panel means integrated into one piece by lining portion attachment means, and said interior lining layer and said exterior surface layer integrally joined to one another in a juxtaposed position by layer attachment means, said layer attachment means comprising a molecular bond between said exterior surface layer material and said interior lining layer.
