8 . The glove according to claim 1 , wherein the cover extends from the trigger in a direction of the first component and the signal line is located between the cover and the base layer, wherein the cover connects to the first component.

9 . The glove according to claim 1 , wherein the base body comprises a dorsal section, on which the first component is located and/or a trigger section, on which the trigger is located.

10 . The glove according to claim 9 , wherein the trigger section is provided on a thumb-side edge of the dorsal section and/or the trigger rests in a worn state of the glove on a radial side of a metacarpophalangeal joint of an index finger of a user's hand.
