AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a cleaning glove that has a body made of waterproof polymer material and five finger stalls each with a tip, knuckle, front, and back side. Patches of animal grooming or cleaning materials are permanently affixed to the body of the glove by permanent waterproof adhesive. The patches are located on the front side of each finger stall and extend up the front of the finger stall and over the finger tip, then down the back side of the finger stall to the knuckle. This design allows for better manipulation of the fingers by the user compared to previous designs that have the entire surface of the glove covered with the scrubbing material or pet grooming material, or which have \"mitten-like” configurations that link together the fingers. The cleaning glove also offers superior scrubbing power as the scratching material may extend to the back knuckle of the user."

Problems solved by technology

In particular, commercial and industrial applications are far too numerous to list but include any type of situation in which toxic, hazardous, abrasive, or corrosive materials must be handled.
It will be appreciated that such devices cause an immense loss of flexibility and control.

embodiment 100

[0046]Body / embodiment 100 has a large “palm” or “hand” portion into which the user's hand may be fitted, as well a five finger stalls, respectively numbers 102 (little finger), 104 (ring finger), 106 (middle finger), 108 (the index finger) and the thumb, finger stall 110. The finger stalls of the invention may be referred to more generally as “fingers” herein.

[0047]It will be seen that each finger stall has a front and back surface, as well as a tip portion, left and right sides, and a number of “knuckle” portions which may be defined as the areas a user's knuckle is likely to be inside of, on the back of the finger. More particularly, the primary knuckle may be defined as the junction of the finger stall and the body of the glove on the back side of the glove, the term “the knuckle” as used herein refers to the primary knuckle and the more complete coverage down to that knuckle.

[0048]Exemplary front of finger stall 112, tip of finger stall 114, and back of finger stall 116 (from fi...

fourth embodiment

[0052]FIG. 5 is a front view of the invention, having animal grooming bristles. Embodiment body 350 has the palm area covered by patch of brush-like pet grooming material 360 as discussed in the previous paragraph.

[0053]Individual bristle 362 may demonstrate the difference between the typical cleaning bristle which is designed to “dig in” and scour dirt from a hard surface and a pet grooming bristle (362), which will be generally soft and flexible, perhaps with a rounded or otherwise blunted head, so that on passage through animal fur or animal hair, the animal is not discomforted.

[0054]In embodiments, the pet grooming material may be permanently affixed using marine adhesive or the like, or it may be integrally molded as a single piece with the glove body material and thus no affixation is required.

[0055]FIG. 6 is a rear view of various embodiments of the invention. Embodiment body 400 has thereon patch of cleaning / pet grooming material 470 which actually extends down the back side...

Abstract

A cleaning glove has a body made of a water-proof polymer material and five finger stalls each having a tip, a knuckle, a front and a back side, and left and right sides. Patches of animal grooming or cleaning materials are permanently affixed by permanent water-proof adhesive to the front side of each individual finger and extending up the front of the finger stall to the finger tip and down the back side of the finger to the knuckle, thereby leaving the left and right sides of each finger clear of the cleaning or grooming material, allowing much better manipulation of the fingers by the user.
