Glove with track and rail for securing a smart phone thereto
View Patent ↗The glove with track and rail for securing a smart phone thereto includes a fingerless glove that has a track integrated onto an outer surface. The track enables a rail member to attach thereon, and slide along the track. The rail member includes a fastening member that is adapted to secure an object thereon such that the object is able to slide along the track while said fingerless glove is being worn. The object is ideally a smart phone. The track extends linearly across the palm and portions of a back of hand of the fingerless glove such that the object is adapted to be positioned at any locale along the track.
1. A glove comprising:
a fingerless glove that includes a track onto which a rail member is slideably engaged;
wherein the rail member is adapted to be secured to an object such that when the fingerless glove is worn, the object is adapted to be slid along the track;
wherein the fingerless glove is further defined with an inner surface and an outer surface;
wherein the fingerless glove is further defined with an inlet and a finger outlet;
wherein the inlet is adapted to receive a hand;
wherein fingers of said hand are adapted to extend through the finger outlet;
wherein the fingerless glove is further defined with a thumb opening;

wherein the outer surface includes the track thereon;
wherein the track is linear, and extends across a palm surface of the fingerless glove;
wherein the track extends across portions of a dorsal surface of the fingerless glove;
wherein the track has a “T”-shaped cross section, and enables the rail member to attach and slide along the track;
wherein the rail member is disc-shaped with a rail coupler on a front surface;
wherein the rail coupler has a grooved opening that corresponds with the “T”-shaped cross section of the track such that the rail coupler is able to slide along the track.
2. The glove according to claim 1 wherein the fingerless glove is made of a flexible material that is selected from the group consisting of: fabric, rubber, latex, leather, and polyester.
3. The glove according to claim 1 wherein the rail member is further defined with a rear surface that includes a securing member thereon.
4. The glove according to claim 3 wherein the securing member is adapted to secure the rail member to said object.

6. The glove according to claim 4 wherein the securing member is an adhesive, which adaptively adheres the rail member to the object.
7. The glove according to claim 6 wherein the track is generally parallel with the finger outlet.
8. The glove according to claim 7 wherein the track is adjacent to the finger outlet.
9. The glove according to claim 8 wherein the rail member is further defined with a diameter, which is greater than a coupler length of the rail coupler; wherein the coupler length is not more than 1 inch.
10. The glove according to claim 9 wherein the track does not encircle the fingerless glove; wherein the track is further defined with a track opening.
11. The glove according to claim 10 wherein the track opening is provided along a side of the fingerless glove; wherein the track includes a track inlet where the rail member is able to be inserted onto and removed from the track as needed.
12. The glove according to claim 11 wherein the track is further defined with a track stop, which prevents the rail member from sliding off of the track; wherein the track stop is located opposite to the track inlet; wherein both the track inlet and the track stop define the track opening.
