Problems solved by technology

However, because of the increased surface area exposed to the elements, gloves have a drawback with respect to their insulation, namely they tend not to work over prolonged periods of time.
For example, although on a short outing in low temperatures gloves usually are sufficient, on prolonged excursions, such as long hikes, hunting expeditions etc. . . . the fingers tend to get cold.
However, as explained above, mittens do not provide the user with any finger dexterity.
However, this results in thicker fingers which decreases flexibility and dexterity, somewhat defeating the purpose of wearing a glove instead of a mitten in the first place.
Although this provides the wearer with the flexibil

Embodiment Construction

[0017]In one embodiment as shown in FIG. 1, a glove 10 is provided, having finger portions 12, a thumb 14, a palm portion 16 and a wrist portion 18. In the illustrated embodiment, glove 10 has independent finger portions for each of the four fingers, but it is contemplated that certain designs may have fewer finger portions 12, for example possibly combining the pinky and ring fingers into a single finger portion 12.

[0018]It is contemplated that glove 10 can be made from any normal glove material including but not limited to, cotton or wool fabrics, fleece, leather, suede, polyester, high performance insulation material, rubber, etc. . . . and may include any type of lining as desired.

[0019]As more clearly shown n FIG. 2, with the underlying hand visible, each of finger portions 12 join to an adjacent finger portion 12 at an intersection 30. However, such intersection 30 of glove 10 does not rest in the webbing of the fingers of the wearer but instead extends across at an approximat...

Abstract

A glove is provided having a hand portion and finger portions, where the hand portion is configured to cover the palm of a wearer's hand as well as at least a portion of the bases of the wearer's fingers and the finger portions are configured to extend from the hand portion of the glove and cover only a limited portion of the tips of the wearer's fingers.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]Field of the Invention[0002]This application relates to a glove. More particularly, this application relates to a modified glove design for improved warmth and flexibility in use.[0003]Description of Related Art[0004]In the area of glove design, there are literally thousands of different shapes and sizes for gloves. As a general note, gloves typically refer to the hand covering with individual coverings for each of the fingers independent of one another. The most common alternative is a mitten which does not individually articulate each of the fingers, but rather covers the fingers as a collective unit.[0005]Gloves tend to provide the most dexterity to the wearer and thus are considered more favorable for general use. However, because of the increased surface area exposed to the elements, gloves have a drawback with respect to their insulation, namely they tend not to work over prolonged periods of time. For example, although on a short outing in low temperatures glo...
