"The present disclosure provides a protective glove for working environments that has a cushioned portion to protect the wearer's hand from impacts. The glove has a hollow shell that defines a cavity to receive the hand. The shell can be made of flexible and extendable material. The glove also has a protective member that can cover specific parts of the hand that will stretch the glove to accommodate hand movements. The protective member is made of a layer of perforated foam material that is attached to the shell. The foam material is designed to be flexible, extendable, and retractable. The protective member can be attached to the shell in various ways, such as adhesives, heat sealing, or ultrasonic bonding. The foam material is permanently attached to the shell and is characterized by its ability to extend in a preferred direction. The protective member can be attached to the back of the glove to provide protection against impacts to the back of the hand."
