Abstract
Abstract A uniquely contoured glove adapted to tightly conform to a wearer's hand is made by depositing an elastomeric material on a relatively flat glove form having recessed areas covering substantially the entire surface of the hand-forming and finger-forming portions of the form except for a peripheral edge surrounding the recessed areas. The resulting glove, when stripped from the form and reversed, has a hand portion, an open end cuff portion and a plurality of elongated finger-receiving compartments, each of said compartments and said hand portion having a transverse cross-sectional configuration formed by four outwardly curved sections connected by four inwardly curved sections.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
92 words
A medical glove adapted to tightly conform to the skin of a wearer's hand over the entire inner surface of said glove, comprising: a hand portion; an open end cuff portion; and a plurality of elongated finger-receiving compartments, each of said compartments having a top convexly curved section, a bottom convexly curved section and two opposed convexly curved side sections, said side sections being more sharply curved than said top and bottom sections and protruding outwardly to form air-venting channels when a finger of a wearer is partially inserted into said compartment.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
92 words
A medical glove adapted to tightly conform to the skin of a wearer's hand over the entire inner surface of said glove, comprising: a hand portion; an open end cuff portion; and a plurality of elongated finger-receiving compartments, each of said compartments having a top convexly curved section, a bottom convexly curved section and two opposed convexly curved side sections, said side sections being more sharply curved than said top and bottom sections and protruding outwardly to form air-venting channels when a finger of a wearer is partially inserted into said compartment.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The glove of claim 1, wherein said hand portion has a transverse cross-sectional configuration similar to that of said compartments.
