GRASPING-ENHANCED INDUSTRIAL GLOVE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to gloves, and particular to a
grasping-enhanced industrial glove which is used in industries necessary to
contact with oils or heavy objects, such as fishery, or assembly or
maintenance of vehicles.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The industrial rubber gloves, such as fishery gloves, or vehicle used
gloves, mechanic used gloves'; have the functions of water-proof, oil-proof
and firmness. In manufacturing it is formed by a handle mold which is
soaked in natural or composite rubber or emulsion. The material suitable
may be for example high density Nitrite Butadiene - Rubber, which can
achieve above mentioned object.
Referring to Fig. l, a prior art industrial glove is illustrated. It is
illustrated that the inner part of the glove is coarse, which is unsuitable to
the feeling of the users. In the manufacturing process, a hand mold is
covered with a cotton material to seam with an inner layer 91, as shown in
Fig. 2. Then, the hand mold is soaked in rubber solution so that the rubber
material is adhered to a surface of the inner cotton layer. Then the hand
mold is taken out for heating. After the rubber is dried and shaped, an
industrial used glove is acquired. The glove has the advantage of not to
rub the skin of the hand.
The glove 90 in Fig. 1 has an inner cotton layer 91 and an outer rubber
layer 92. To have a preferred grasping force and slide-proof ability, the
surface of the palm portion of the glove is machined to increase the
coarseness. Thus, it is convenient in grasping.
However, the industrial glove has some defects. Foc example, if the
glove is used to grasp a heavy object, it is possible that the coarseness is
insufficient so that the object slides out, especially in grasping coarse net
or
t

fishes in fishery, or heaving objects in vehicle plant. It is often that
finger
portions of the glove are worn so as not to be used. Thereby, it is the
coverage of the present invention to increase the thickness and coarseness
of the glove.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a
grasping-enhanced industrial glove, wherein textures are added to the glove
so as to increase the grasping ability of the glove and thus to prolong the
lifetime of the glove,
To achieve above objects, the present invention provides a
grasping-enhanced industrial glove which comprises an inner cotton layer
having a finger portion; a sheet of net layer being seamed to the finger
portion; the net layer being adhered with thick rubber material by placing
the inner cotton layer in a hand mold and soaking in a rubber material; the
rubber material of the net layer having a width of about 20 % to 30 % of the
net layer; and an outer rubber layer having a texture portion. By above
structure, the glove has a strong grasping force. The net layer can be
extended to the fingernails from the inner portion of the fingers. The net
layer is made of cotton material or metal material. The material of the outer
rubber layer 12 is selected from one of Nitrile-Butadiene Rubber, Nature
Rubber, Polyvinylchloride and Polyurethane.
The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be
more readily understood from the following detailed description when read
in conjunction with the appended drawing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In order that those skilled in the art can further understand the present
invention, a description will be described in the following in details.
However, these descriptions and the appended drawings are only used to
cause those skilled in the art to understand the objects, features, and
characteristics of the present invention, but not to be used to confine the
scope and spirit of the present invention defined in the appended claims.
Referring to Fig. l, the industrial glove 10 of the present invention is
illustrated. The glove 10 comprises the following elements. An inner
cotton layer 11 has a finger portion 16. A sheet of net layer 15 is seamed
to the finger portion 16, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. Two sides of each
finger of the finger portion 16 are seamed by a seaming line 18, as shown in
Fig. 5. The net layer 15 is adhered with thick rubber material by placing
the inner cotton layer 11 into a hand mold and soaking the inner cotton layer
11 into rubber liquid.
The net layer 15 is seamed with the seaming line 18. The rubber
material of the net layer 15 has a width of about 20 % to 30 % of the net
layer 15.
An outer rubber layer 12 has a base layer 121. A plurality of
protrusions 17 are formed on the base layer 121 due to the rubber material
on the net layer 15, as shown in Fig. 6 so as to increase the grasping force.
The outer rubber layer 12 has a palm portion 13 and a texture portion 14 on
the finger portion of the outer rubber layer 12. The palm portion 13 is
coarsened. The texture portion 14 increases a thickness of the finger
portion of the outer rubber layer 12 and thus increases the grasping force, as

shown in Fig. 6. Basically, the texture portion has transversal texture.
However, the textures in the texture portion 14 may be fabricated according
to the lattices of the net layer 15 or other shapes, such as wavelike shapes,
round shapes, etc.
The texture portion 14 covers from the fingertips to be between the first
joints and second joints of the finger so as that the texture will not affect
the action of the fingers as the fingers bends.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the net layer 15 is made
with cotton material as the inner cotton layer 11.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the net layer 15 can be
made of slender metal wires so as to enhance the structure of the net layer
without the problem of wearing.
In the present invention, the net layer 15 can be extended to the
fingernails from the inner portion of the fingers. Furthermore, in the
15 present invention, the net layer 15 is not limited on the finger portions.
The net layer 15 can be extended to other portion of the glove 10.
In the present invention, the material of the outer rubber layer 12 is
selected from one of N ( Nitrile-Butadiene Rubber ) , NB ( Nature Rubber,
NB ) , PVC ( Polyvinylchloride ) and PU ( Polyurethane ) , etc.
The present invention is thus described, it will be obvious that the same
may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a
departure from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such
modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to
be included within the scope of the following claims.
