Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a solution for professionals who need to remove their gloves or mittens quickly and easily without the need for additional devices or assistance. The invention allows users to keep the gloves or mittens in place while still using their hands for other tasks or functions. The invention also provides means and methods for keeping gloves together while work is taking place. Additionally, the invention includes a slippery version of a device that increases poling activity by about 10% when cleaning storefronts. The invention also includes inflatable spots or channels, such as an inflatable Thenar Pad, which can be pumped up to help a pole or shaft slide through easier or absorb shock from striking tools.

Problems solved by technology

Conventional gloves are limited, however, in how they function, and in the advantages that they provide to any given task.
These limitations pertain especially to circumstances where conventional gloves are used with tools, tool shafts or other devices.

Abstract

Handwear articles, such as gloves, mittens and other multi-digit embodiments of handwear, are provided. Articles of the invention are especially suited for such tasks as window cleaning, and comprise one or more low-friction areas suitable for slidably using a shafted tool therewith. High-friction areas are also provided to assist in controlling tools. Handwear of the invention are thus especially useful with respect to handling tools, tool shafts, and any implement where control of the tool shaft and the tool are desirable. Articles of the inventions may also comprise one or more attachment surfaces or fastener pads adapted and arranged such that pairs of the handwear can be utilized or connected together, and such that articles of the invention can be easily attached to many objects having complementary attachment elements to allow the handwear, and the wearer, to operate efficiently in conjunction with many tools, articles, devices and surfaces, and in many environments.
