Abstract
Description
- The present application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/562,920, filed Apr. 16, 2004, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.
- The present invention relates to a glove having multiple layers and methods of manufacture thereof.
- Gloves of the prior art are constructed of various materials and are used for various purposes. For example, the prior art includes workman gloves, surgical gloves, driving gloves, household gloves, skiing gloves, and gloves for providing warmth. Gloves of the prior art have typically been formed from leather, polyvinyl chloride, rubber, and fabric. It is also known in the art to provide composites, such as fabric gloves dip-coated with a natural or nitrile rubber.
- The prior art also includes gloves having fabric and leather reinforcing elements that are mechanically fastened to a glove. For example, the prior art includes fabric and leather strips sewn onto the outer surface of the glove. The fabric and leather reinforcing elements are positioned on sections of the glove corresponding to the fingertips, the knuckles, the wrist, the palm, and/or the back side of the hand. Although fabric and leather reinforcing elements increase a glove's grip and wear resistance, they are expensive materials and must be mechanically fastened to the glove. This increases the total manufacturing cost of the glove, as well as the final retail price paid by consumers.
- It is also known in the art to provide a glove having polyvinyl chloride patches bonded to an underlying fabric. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,185,747 discloses polyvinyl chloride patches that are metal-screened to the fibers of the underlying fabric. Unfortunately, the bond between the screened polyvinyl chloride and the fibers causes the fibers to stiffen, which in turn causes discomfort and potential irritation to the hands of a person wearing the glove. Furthermore, the fabric of the glove is exposed in multiple locations, such as in the areas between the polyvinyl chloride patches. This forms vulnerable areas that have low wear resistance and that are easily susceptible to puncture and/or chemical penetration.
- What is needed in the art is a glove that provides good grip at a low-cost and does so without unnecessarily compromising the wear resistance or comfort of the glove.
- Preferred embodiments of the invention overcome the disadvantages and shortcomings of the prior art by providing a multilayer glove that includes a fabric substrate, an intermediate layer of resilient material, and an outer layer of resilient material. The fabric substrate is in the form of a glove and has an outer surface. The intermediate layer of resilient material is preferably applied to the fabric substrate so as to completely cover at least a portion of the outer surface of the fabric substrate. The outer layer of resilient material is preferably bonded to one or more selected areas of the intermediate layer such that the outer layer is separated from the fabric substrate by the intermediate layer. The intermediate layer and the outer layers may be formed from the same resilient material or from different resilient materials.
- In a first embodiment of the invention, the fabric substrate is formed from a one piece seamless string-knit having the shape of a glove. However, any suitable fabric may be used, such as a woven, nonwoven, or knit fabric. The intermediate layer is preferably formed from a protective coating, such as nitrile rubber foam. However, any suitable resilient material may be used, such as silicone, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride or other 100% solid plastic resins, solvent solutions of similar resins, as well as natural rubber or synthetic rubber solutions or emulsion forms of plastic or rubbers. These materials also may be expanded or foamed. These materials may be expanded or foamed. In the first embodiment of the invention, the fabric substrate and the intermediate layer form a composite. In some embodiments of the invention, the
multilayer glove 10 includes a substrate formed from plastic and/or rubber. - In the first embodiment of the invention, the outer layer comprises one or more reinforcing elements that bond with the protective coating. However, any suitable resilient material may be used, such as silicone, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride or other 100% solid plastic resins, solvent solutions of similar resins, as well as natural rubber or synthetic rubber solutions or emulsion forms of plastic or rubbers. These materials also may be expanded or foamed. The reinforcing elements preferably have a substantially uniform thickness that is in the range of about twenty mil to about eighty mil, though the reinforcing elements can be of a thickness outside this range.
- Each individual reinforcing element preferably has one or more openings, referenced herein as relief areas, formed therethrough. The plurality of reinforcing elements preferably also forms relief areas therebetween. The relief areas are preferably positioned so as to be aligned with the joints and creases of a human hand inserted into the multilayer glove.
- In a second embodiment of the invention, at least one of the reinforcing elements is formed to have a first color, and at least another one of the plurality of the reinforcing elements is formed to have a second color. In this respect, a manufacturer may manipulate the colors of the reinforcing elements to form a novel design.

FIGS. 1 and 3 , a first embodiment of amultilayer glove 10 includes acomposite 12 and a plurality of reinforcingelements 14. The composite 12 includes afabric substrate 16 and aprotective coating 18 and is shown inFIG. 2 without the reinforcingelements 14. With reference toFIGS. 1-3 , thefabric substrate 16,protective coating 18, and reinforcingelements 14 will now be individually described. - The
fabric substrate 16 has a shape similar to a human hand. Thefabric substrate 16 is preferably string-knit. However, thefabric substrate 16 may be formed from any suitable natural or synthetic material, such as a woven, nonwoven, or knit fabric. In some embodiments of the invention, themultilayer glove 10 includes a substrate formed from plastic and/or rubber. - The
protective coating 18 is preferably dip-coated onto thefabric substrate 16. Theprotective coating 18 may be disposed on part or all of thefabric substrate 16. Preferably, theprotective coating 18 is at least disposed on those portions of thefabric substrate 16 alignable with the fingers, knuckles, and palm of the human hand. Theprotective coating 18 is preferably formed from nitrile, and is more preferably formed from nitrile foam rubber. However, any suitable resilient material may be used, such as silicone, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride or other 100% solid plastic resins, solvent solutions of similar resins, as well as natural rubber or synthetic rubber solutions or emulsion forms of plastic or rubbers. These materials also may be expanded or foamed. In some embodiments of the invention, theprotective coating 18 is formed from neoprene and/or styrene butadiene rubbers. - As discussed above, the
fabric substrate 16 and theprotective coating 18 preferably form a composite 12. In this regard, thefabric substrate 16 and theprotective coating 18 each contribute desirable properties to the composite 12 as a whole. For example, in the preferred embodiments, thefabric substrate 16 provides comfort to a person wearing themultilayer glove 10, while theprotective coating 18 increases the wear resistance of themultilayer glove 10 and decreases the susceptibility of themultilayer glove 10 to puncture and/or chemical penetration. - Continuing with principal reference to
FIGS. 1-3 , themultilayer glove 10 includes a plurality of reinforcingelements 14 bonded to theprotective coating 18.FIG. 1 shows six reinforcingelements 14 bonding directly with theprotective coating 18. The plurality of reinforcingelements 14 haverelief areas 24 formed therebetween, and each individual reinforcingelement 14 preferably has at least onerelief area 24′ formed therethrough. Therelief areas multilayer glove 10. Among other advantages, therelief areas Relief areas protective coating 18. However, in an alternative embodiment, it is not required that therelief areas protective coating 18. - Preferably, the thickness of a reinforcing
element 14, referenced herein as RET, is substantially uniform throughout the reinforcingelement 14. It is also preferable that the variance in thickness RET of a reinforcingelement 14 not be so great as to be immediately detectable by the naked human eye. The thickness RET of a reinforcingelement 14 is preferably between one mil and one hundred fifty mil, and is more preferably between twenty mil and eighty mil. It should be obvious to one skilled in the art that the stated preferences regarding thickness do not necessarily apply to therelief areas - The reinforcing
elements 14 are preferably formed from nitrile rubber and are more preferably formed from nitrile foam rubber. However, any suitable resilient material may be used, such as silicone, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride or other 100% solid plastic resins, solvent solutions of similar resins, as well as natural rubber or synthetic rubber solutions or emulsion forms of plastic or rubbers. These materials also may be expanded or foamed. In some embodiments of the invention, theprotective coating 18 is formed from neoprene and/or styrene butadiene rubbers. - As discussed above, the reinforcing
elements 14 preferably bond with theprotective coating 18. Such bonding is preferably a chemical bond and is more preferably a vulcanized bond. Such vulcanized bonding is preferably caused by the reinforcingelements 14 being cured while on theprotective coating 18 for integration therewith. Suitable bonding may be caused by other processes, such as molding. In some embodiments of the invention, the reinforcing elements do not bond with thefabric substrate 16. - It is recognized that bonding of reinforcing elements is enhanced by making the coating material similar to the reinforcing material, such as by using a nitrile rubber dipped coating in the intermediate layer and Nitrile rubber in the outer layer. By way of example, if it was desired to have a natural rubber coated glove reinforced with Nitrile rubber, it would be advantageous to blend the Nitrile rubber with at least some natural rubber to enhance bonding of the two layers. Further, this would take place in most cases when the rubber materials were in latex form.
- The
multilayer glove 10 may include additional features (not shown), such as a cuff, hook and loop fasteners, finger and/or knuckle guards, additional layers, a label, a clasp for securing a pair of multilayer gloves together, and any other suitable feature(s) that are now or hereafter known in the art. For example, a sample embodiment (not shown) of themultilayer glove 10, has the following features: (1) a composite 12 having afabric substrate 16 and aprotective coating 18 disposed on a portion of thefabric substrate 16 corresponding with the palm; (2) a plurality of reinforcingelements 14 bonding to theprotective coating 18 at the palm; (3) a fabric weave fastened to the composite 12 at the back of the fingers; (4) finger guards fastened to the fabric weave; (5) a logo sewn onto the composite 12; and (6) a Velcro cuff strap. - It should be clear to one skilled in the art that the
multilayer glove 10, generally, and/or the composite 12 can include additional layers, structures, and/or materials as desired. By way of nonlimiting example, themultilayer glove 10 may include an additional layer (not shown) disposed between thefabric substrate 12 and theprotective coating 18. As another example, an additional layer (not shown) may be disposed between theprotective coating 18 and the reinforcingelements 14 to form a composite. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , a second embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. Elements illustrated inFIG. 4 which correspond substantially to the elements described above with reference toFIGS. 1-3 have been designated by corresponding reference numerals increased by one hundred. The embodiment of the present invention shown inFIG. 4 is constructed in manners consistent with the foregoing description of themultilayer glove 10 shown inFIGS. 1 and 3 , unless it is stated otherwise. - With reference to
FIG. 4 , amultilayer glove 110 has afabric substrate 116 and aprotective coating 118. Themultilayer glove 110 further includes reinforcingelements 114 of a first color and additional reinforcingelements 126 having a second color.FIG. 4 shows sixteen reinforcingelements 114 of a first color and two additional reinforcingelements 126 of the second color. The reinforcingelements form relief areas 124 therebetween. However, in contrast to each individual reinforcingelement 14 shown inFIG. 1 , each of theindividual reinforcing elements relief area 24′ formed therethrough. - The reinforcing material(s) that form the reinforcing
elements element elements elements coating layer 18 for bonding therewith. In an alternative embodiment, one or more additional reinforcingelements 126 may be disposed on top of one more of the reinforcing elements 114 (not shown). - Referring to
FIG. 5 , a third embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. Elements illustrated inFIG. 5 which correspond substantially to the elements described above with reference toFIGS. 1-3 have been designated by corresponding reference numerals increased by two hundred. The embodiment of the present invention shown inFIG. 5 is constructed in manners consistent with the foregoing description of themultilayer glove 10 shown inFIGS. 1 and 3 , unless it is stated otherwise. - With reference to
FIG. 5 , amultilayer glove 210 has afabric substrate 216 and aprotective coating 218 formed on the back of the hand.Multilayer glove 210 further includes reinforcingelements 214 formed at the fingertips, knuckles, and back of the hand. As shown inFIG. 5 , it is not required that the reinforcingelements 214 be positioned to formrelief areas 24, and it is not required that individual reinforcingelements 214 have arelief area 24′ formed therethrough. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , a fourth embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. Elements illustrated inFIG. 6 which correspond substantially to the elements described above with reference toFIGS. 1-3 have been designated by corresponding reference numerals increased by three hundred. The embodiment of the present invention shown inFIG. 6 is constructed in manners consistent with the foregoing description of themultilayer glove 10 shown inFIGS. 1 and 3 , unless it is stated otherwise. - With reference to
FIG. 6 , themultilayer glove 310 has afabric substrate 316 and aprotective coating 318.Multilayer glove 310 further includes a plurality of reinforcingelements 314, which are collectively designated inFIG. 6 using a single reference numeral. The reinforcingelements 314 ofFIG. 6 are shown to have a pattern matching the pattern ofmesh member 328 shown inFIG. 7 . As further discussed below, one ormore mesh members 328 may be used to form the reinforcingelements 314 and the mesh member may form an impression in the reinforcingelements 14, which is referenced herein as a “mesh pattern.” A sample mesh pattern is best shown inFIG. 6 . The sample mesh pattern has alternating crests and troughs, the width of each crest being about one-sixteenth ( 1/16) of an inch, and the width of each trough being about one-sixteenth ( 1/16) of an inch. Any suitable mesh pattern may be formed in a reinforcingelement 314. - Referring to
FIG. 8 , another example of a mesh pattern is illustrated.FIG. 8 shows amultilayer glove 410 having a composite 412 formed from afabric substrate 416 and aprotective coating 418.Multilayer glove 410 further includes a plurality of reinforcingelements 414 formed on theprotective coating 318, which are collectively designated inFIG. 8 using a single reference numeral. The reinforcingelements 414 are positioned to be alignable with the index finger when a human hand is inserted into themultilayer glove 410.Multilayer glove 410 also has afabric logo 430 sewn onto a portion of thefabric substrate 416 extending past a sample boundary of theprotective coating 418. The logo will be further discussed below with respect to a method of the invention. - With principal reference to
FIGS. 9-11 , a preferred method of forming themultilayer glove 10 ofFIG. 1 is described and referenced generally asassembly method 532. Although theassembly method 532 will principally be discussed in connection withmultilayer glove 10, it will be apparent to one of ordinary skill the art that theassembly method 532 can be easily modified to form other multilayer gloves of the present invention. - At securing
step 534, an operator secures an end of a former 650 to thefabric substrate 16 and another end of the former 650 to a conveyor system (not shown). The former 650 preferably comprises a flat steel plate for spreading thefabric substrate 16 into a flat, hand-shaped form; however, the former 650 may comprise a three dimensional ceramic structure. The conveyor system preferably advances thefabric substrate 16 through the steps ofassembly method 532. - At
coating step 536, the conveyor system dips thefabric substrate 16 into a coating material, such as nitrile rubber. Any suitable coating material may be used, however, any suitable resilient material may be used, such as silicone, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride or other 100% solid plastic resins, solvent solutions of similar resins, as well as natural rubber or synthetic rubber solutions or emulsion forms of plastic or rubbers. These materials also may be expanded or foamed. In some embodiments of the invention, the coating material may be neoprene and/or styrene butadiene rubber. - At curing
step 538, the coating material is cured and/or dried, preferably forming a composite 12 having thefabric substrate 16 and theprotective coating 18. As discussed, additional layers and/or materials may, in some embodiments of the invention, be positioned over theprotective coating 18 and/or between thefabric substrate 16 andprotective coating 18. - At
application step 540, a reinforcingmaterial 660, such as nitrile latex rubber, is applied in a liquid state to theprotective coating 18 to form reinforcingelements 14. However, the reinforcingelements 14 can be strengthened to increase cut and abrasion resistance by adding reinforcing fibers and/or reinforcing mineral fillers such as Nylon, polyester, Kevlar fibers, Mica, calcium carbonate, etc. - Referring to
FIGS. 10 and 11 , amask 654 is provided that includes aframe 656 and asheet 658 circumscribed by theframe 656. Thesheet 658 preferably has a plurality ofmesh members 628 formed therein. The sheet is preferably formed from a material that, but for themesh members 628, is otherwise impenetrable by the reinforcingmaterial 660. Thesheet 658 is preferably formed from metal and is more preferably formed from nickel; however, thesheet 658 may be formed from any suitable material. - Referring to
FIG. 10 , asqueegee 652 may, be used to force theliquid reinforcing material 660 to pass through themesh members 628 to form the reinforcingelements 14 on theprotective coating 18. The amount of reinforcingmaterial 660 forced through eachmesh member 628 may depend on the dimensions of themesh member 628, the viscosity of the reinforcingmaterial 660, and the magnitude and direction of the force applied to and by thesqueegee 652. Thesqueegee 652 can be moved manually or under computer control. - The
mesh members 628 shown inFIG. 10 shall now be further discussed in connection with theapplication step 540. The relative positioning and size of each of the plurality ofmesh members 628 corresponds to the orientation of the reinforcingelements 14 to be formed on theglove substrate 12. At the same time, the pattern of eachindividual mesh member 628 may also correspond to a mesh pattern formed in reinforcingelements 14. - Referring to
FIG. 11 , each of themesh members 628 preferably has a thickness, referenced herein as thickness ST, between about six mil and about two hundred mil, though the thickness may be selected as desired and is in relation to the thickness of the reinforcingelement 14 created therefrom. More preferably, each of themesh members 628 has a thickness ST between about twenty mil and about eighty mil. Among other advantages, themesh members 628 help achieve a substantially uniform thickness within each reinforcingelement 14 by maintaining the form of each reinforcingelement 14 during one or more processing steps. AlthoughFIG. 10 shows that themesh members 628 are formed in asheet 658 circumscribed by aframe 656, a mesh member can be used without asheet 658 or aframe 656, such as themesh member 328 shown inFIG. 7 . - In some embodiments of the
assembly method 532, asheet 658 may have openings, rather than meshmembers 628, formed therein (not shown). In said embodiments, amesh member 328, such as that shown inFIG. 7 , can be placed on top of saidsheet 658, and reinforcingmaterial 660 can be passed through themesh member 328 prior to passing through the openings formed in thesheet 658. -
FIG. 12 shows an alternative structure used in performing theapplication step 540 of theassembly method 532 ofFIG. 9 . Amask 754 is provided having aframe 756 enclosing asheet 758 that has asingle mesh member 728 formed therein. A squeegee 752 is used to force theliquid reinforcing material 760 through thesingle mesh member 758. - In some embodiments of the
assembly method 532, thelogo 430 and bands of elastomer may be applied, preferably around the wrist and contemporaneously with the reinforcingelements 14. -
FIG. 13 shows another alternative structure used in performing theapplication step 540 of theassembly method 532 ofFIG. 9 . A dispensing assembly, represented schematically as dispensingassembly 862, could be used to create reinforcingelements 814 from droplets of reinforcingmaterial 860 positioned next to each other. The head of the dispensingassembly 862 applies the droplets via a nozzle from a reservoir of liquid reinforcing material, such as nitrile rubber. The droplets are positioned on the glove substrate close to one another so that they coalesce with one another to form reinforcingelement 814. The initial distance separating each droplet is larger dependent upon the viscosity of the reinforcing material, the size of the droplets, etc. - Referring to
FIG. 13 , the nozzle of the dispensingassembly 862 may be heated if the rubber to be dripped is solid at room temperature, or it may not be heated if the rubber to be dripped is a liquid at room temperature. The nozzle of dispensingassembly 862 may be of different shapes to produce different shaped droplets of reinforcingmaterial 860. The dispensingassembly 862, components thereof, and/or the former 650 may move in the x-y plane, for example, to cause the droplets to fall into positions for forming the reinforcingelement 814. As with other aspects ofassembly method 532, movement may be computer-controlled or manual. Computer control is preferred for producing large reinforcingelements 814 accurately. - Although the preferred embodiments of the
application step 540 have been herein shown and described in detail, it should be appreciated by one skilled in the art that there are other ways in which reinforcing material can be passed through a mesh member to form reinforcing elements. For example, a glove substrate could be fully or partially enclosed within a mask having mesh members formed therein. The enclosed glove substrate could be dipped into a reinforcing material, such as nitrile or another material. As another example, reinforcing material could be applied to the protective coating and the reinforcing materials could be shaped by applying solvents, acids, and/or other chemicals to desired areas of the reinforcing material. The reinforcing elements could also be molded. - At curing
step 542, the conveyor system transports theglove substrate 12 and reinforcingelements 14 to apparatus for drying and/or curing. The reinforcingelements 14 preferably form a vulcanized bond with theprotective coating 18. - At
application step 544, additional reinforcing material may be applied to the outer surface of the glove substrate. This is particularly useful for manufacturing themultilayer glove 110 shown inFIG. 2 , because it presents an opportunity to add reinforcingelements 126 of a color different from the color of reinforcingelements 114 applied at thefirst application step 540.Application step 544 is similar toapplication step 540; however, the mask, mesh members, sheets, and/or frames used inapplication step 544 may be sized and positioned to avoid any interference from the reinforcingelements 114 already applied atapplication step 540. Said size and position is dependent at least in part on the chosen colors, sizes, and positioning of the desired reinforcingelements - At curing
step 546, the additional reinforcingelements 126 are cured. It should be clear to one of ordinary skill in the art thatapplication step 544 and curingstep 546 are analogous toapplication step 540 and curingstep 542, and that said steps can be repeated as desired to add reinforcing elements of a third color, a fourth color, etc. In some embodiments of the invention, the additional reinforcingelements 126 of the second color may be disposed on top of the reinforcingelements 114 of the first color. - At
removal step 548, the operator removes themultilayer glove 10 from the former 650 and the conveyor system returns to its initial position, where the operator can place anew fabric substrate 16 on the former 650 for processing in accordance with the steps ofassembly method 532. - Preferred embodiments of the invention presented herein thus provide for a multilayer glove that has a good grip at a low manufacturing cost. In the preferred embodiments, the materials are preferably durable, long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing and provide good wear resistance and comfort. It will be understood that the embodiments of the present invention described herein are merely exemplary and that a person skilled in the art may make many variations and modifications without departing from the spirit and the scope of the invention. All such variations and modifications, including those discussed above, are intended to be included within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
