Protective kitchen gloves using ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene

Abstract

A protective kitchen glove that safeguards the hand and fingers of a wearer from cuts, burns, moisture, and electrical shock. The glove is primarily composed of an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene base material and a silk inner-lining. A textured conductive silicone material is also incorporated on a finger pad along with textured anti-slipping grips on an outer surface of the palmer side of the glove. Furthermore, rubber bristles and spherical rubber scrubbers are incorporated to aid in kitchen cleaning activities.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a kitchen glove that can protect a person's hands and fingers from cuts, burns, moisture, and electrical shock while doing cooking tasks.

Problems solved by technology

However, a drawback associated with protective gloves having high protective features, is that protective gloves often inhibit movement of the wearer's hands and reduce the comfort of the user.

Even simple tasks, such as griping an object or answering a cell phone can be difficult, requiring the wearer to remove the protective glove to perform these simple tasks.

While many different types of kitchen gloves exist for accomplishing these tasks individually, no kitchen glove universally enables a wearer to perform all of these kitchen duties using one type of glove.

However, none of these gloves are intended for commercial or residential kitchen use, and none meet all of these defining characteristics.
