Textured glove and a synthetic latex formulation for producing the same
An elastomeric glove includes a superimposed texture provided on a surface of the elastomeric glove, including front and back of a palm region, a thumb region and fingers region. The superimposed texture includes multiple units of a stellate convex polygon distributed on the surface of the elastomeric glove, with a tip at the center and folded at intersects of the polygon for gripping, diverting and channelling fluid away from the surface of the elastomeric glove. The stellate convex polygon includes a plurality of outward-facing corner vertices and plurality of inward-facing vertices, with equal sides connecting each of the plurality of outward-facing corner vertices to adjacent inward-facing vertices. Each of the inward-facing vertices has an exterior angle of 138 to 146 degrees, and each of the outward-facing corner vertices has an interior angle of 46 to 52 degrees. A synthetic latex formulation for producing the elastomeric glove is also disclosed.
1 . An elastomeric glove, comprising:
a superimposed texture provided on a surface of the elastomeric glove, including front and back of a palm region, a thumb region and fingers region,
wherein the superimposed texture comprises multiple units of a stellate convex polygon distributed on the surface of the elastomeric glove, with a tip at the center and folded at intersects of the polygon for gripping, diverting and channelling fluid away from the surface of the elastomeric glove, and
wherein the stellate convex polygon comprises a plurality of outward-facing corner vertices and plurality of inward-facing vertices, with equal sides connecting each of the plurality of outward-facing corner vertices to adjacent inward-facing vertices, wherein each of the plurality of inward-facing vertices has an exterior angle of 138 to 146 degrees, and each of the plurality of outward-facing corner vertices has an interior angle of 46 to 52 degrees.
2 . The elastomeric glove as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a non-superimposed texture portion is provided on a region between the palm region and the thumb region.
3 . The elastomeric glove as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the superimposed texture provided on the thumb region is divided into a left texture region and a right texture region, encompassing a front surface and a back surface of the elastomeric glove.
4 . The elastomeric glove as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the left texture region and the right texture region are separated by a central region with a non-superimposed texture portion.
5 . The elastomeric glove as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the stellate convex polygon is a four-pointed stellate shape.
6 . The elastomeric glove as claimed in claim 1 , wherein channels are formed between the multiple units of the stellate convex polygon.
7 . The elastomeric glove as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the stellate convex polygon comprises a protruding textured pattern that corresponds to a depressed textured pattern on an inner surface of the elastomeric glove.
8 . The elastomeric glove as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a non-superimposed textured portion is provided on a central region of a thumb tip, a finger tips region, a region between a thumb and an index finger, a region between each of four fingers, and a region that a little finger facing away from the four fingers.
