Embodiment Construction

[0024] The webbed glove 3 is made of injection molded PVC in a durometer (hardness) of 60 degrees and is flexible to allow it to be worn comfortably.

[0025] The webbed glove 3 is designed with a squirting feature by incorporating a bladder 1 that is an integral part of the webbed glove 3. The bladder 1 is constructed by extending the walls of the glove 3 down along the wrist area in the general shape of a shark's fin. To create the bladder area 1, a side plate cover 5 is added. The side plate cover 5 is specifically made in a separate mold and affixed to the main body of the glove 3 via solvent sealing. To accomplish this the side plate cover 5 is also manufactured from PVC material in a slightly higher and specific durometer (hardness) of 80 degrees. The bladder 1 has a one-way valve 4 located at the outer point of the bladder 1. The valve 4 allows water to be drawn into the bladder 1 when the bladder 1 is compressed and released. As it is soft and flexible, when compressed and rel...
