Benefits of technology

The invention provides a glove with enhanced cut resistance by using ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and / or hard particle-filled polyethylene fiber in the secondary yarn. The secondary yarn also provides resistance to abrasion, gripping properties, and visibility for the glove. Additionally, the secondary yarn can include retroreflective material or an electrically conductive material, allowing the wearer of the glove to operate a touch screen on an electronic device.

Problems solved by technology

Inverting is a separate, time-consuming operation done manually or on a special machine.

Embodiment Construction

[0049]A protective glove according to a preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in FIGS. 1-6, and shown generally at reference numeral 10. The glove 10 is comprised of an inner primary yarn 11, and a plaiting yarn 21 having cut resistance properties plaited to the primary yarn 11. The inner primary yarn 11 can be comprised of a first core strand 12 of 450 (one hundred denier) fiberglass and a second core strand 14 comprised of four hundred denier ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), a first covering strand 16 of one-hundred fifty denier textured polyester wrapped around the core stands 12, 14, and a second covering strand 18 of one-hundred fifty denier textured polyester wrapped over the first cover strand 16, as shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the first cover strand 16 is wrapped in an S orientation, while the second cover strand 18 is wrapped in a Z orientation. Alternatively, the first cover strand 16 can be wrapped in a Z orientation, and the seco...

Abstract

A protective glove includes a primary yarn that forms the palm, thumb and finger sections of the glove. The primary yarn has an interior surface forming the interior surface of the glove, and an exterior surface forming the exterior surface of the glove. A plaiting yarn is plaited to portions of the exterior surface of the primary yarn to form a plurality of enhanced sections on the exterior surface of the glove. The enhanced sections having at least one substantially enhanced physical characteristic in relation to the primary layer, such as increased cut resistance,

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14 / 296,612, filed Jun. 5, 2014, which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14 / 210,533, filed Mar. 14, 2014, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 789,990, filed Mar. 15, 2013. All of said applications are incorporated herein by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to fabric articles, such as gloves with sections having enhanced properties formed on the exterior surface of the glove. The enhanced sections can be areas on the exterior surface of the glove having superior physical properties, such as cut or abrasion resistance, in relation to the other parts of the glove.[0003]Often it is desirable for a single glove to be constructed of various sections having distinct properties. For example, safety gloves often have an interior surface layer comprised ...
