Glove having a cuffed portion
View Patent ↗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.
1. 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 tubular section with a first diameter, said first tubular section being connected to a second tubular section, said second tubular section having a second diameter, wherein said second diameter is greater than said first diameter, and wherein said second tubular section forms an obstruction for deflecting and diverting liquid from said obstruction,
wherein said arm covering portion has a “U”-shaped indentation extending around a periphery of the glove and protruding inward to reduce said first diameter of said first tubular section, said reduced first diameter for facilitating introduction of the wearer's arm in the glove and for gripping the wearer, and
wherein said “U”-shaped indentation is adjacent to an expanded portion, wherein said expanded portion has a diameter which increases in a direction opposite said hand covering portion, wherein said expanded portion is adjacent to a tapered portion opposite said “U”-shaped indentation, and wherein said tapered portion has a diameter that decreases toward said second tubular portion.
2. The glove of claim 1 , wherein said “U”-shaped indentation has a radius between about 1.6 to 1.625 inches, measured from a centerline through the center of the glove.
3. The glove of claim 1 , wherein said “U”-shaped indentation forms a substantially circular space with a diameter of about 0.25 to about 0.375 inches.
4. 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 tubular section with a first diameter, said first tubular section being connected to a second tubular section, said second tubular section having a second diameter, wherein said second diameter is greater than said first diameter, and wherein said second tubular section forms an obstruction for deflecting and diverting liquid therefrom, and wherein said second tubular portion is a prominent flare that flares outward in a direction away from the glove and is adjacent to said prominent edge, and
wherein said arm covering portion has a “U”-shaped indentation extending around a periphery of the glove and protruding inward to reduce said first diameter of said first tubular section, said reduced first diameter for facilitating introduction of the wearer's arm in the glove and for gripping the wearer, and
wherein said “U” shaped indentation is adjacent a prominent edge.
5. The glove of claim 4 , wherein said prominent flare is invertable, and wherein said “U” shaped indentation and said prominent edge form a narrow channel when said prominent flare is inverted to retain liquid therein.
