Embodiment Construction

[0020]Embodiments of the present invention comprise a glove having a liner adorned with at least one injection molded component adhered thereto to form an application specific glove. The liner may be fabric and / or an elastomeric material (e.g., natural or synthetic rubber). The at least one injection molded component may be fabricated from an elastomeric material such as silicone, thermoplastic vulcanizate, thermoplastic rubber, thermoplastic elastomer, and the like, or blends or alloys thereof. In some embodiments, the injection molded components comprise thermoplastic polyolefins, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and the like. In some embodiments, the injection molded components comprise engineered resins, such as nylons, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, saturated styrene block copolymer thermoplastic elastomers (SEBS), polyurethanes, thermoplastic polyurethane alloys, modified-styrenics, styrene-butadiene-styrene, and polybutylene terephthalate resins, and blends and / or alloy...

Abstract

A glove having a glove liner adorned with at least one injection-molded component that provides the glove with specific characteristics tailored to a specific glove application. The liner may comprise a fabric and/or an elastomeric material. The position, composition, and/or contour of the injection-molded components define the characteristics of the glove.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61 / 464,956, filed Mar. 11, 2011, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a glove specifically designed for certain applications and, more particularly, to a glove adorned with injection molded components that provide certain characteristics commensurate with the intended application for the glove.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Gloves are currently available that have an injection molded component adhered to a fabric liner. Such molded components are used to provide a three-dimensional molded palm portion to enable the glove to more comfortably fit a user. The molded component may be fabricated from an elastomeric material (elastomers) such as thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) or thermoplastic rub...
