Description:
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
My invention consists of an improved safety glove in which embedded steel caps protect the tips of the fingers and thumb, with hollow steel cylinders between the finger joint locations to protect the remainder of the fingers, while permitting flexing of the finger as required to grip tools or work loads.
The inner liner of my glove may be made of cloth material, and the outer covering fabricated from leather, rubber or plastic material.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The objects and features of the invention may be understood with reference to the following detailed description of an illustrative embodiment of the invention taken together with the accompanying drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a plan view of the glove as seen from the palm;
FIG. 2 is a side view of the embedded steel cap and cylinders protecting one finger;
FIG. 3 is a plan view of the embedded steel caps and cylinders in the entire glove as seen from the palm; and
FIG. 4 is a cross-section of a finger section of the glove.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Turning now descriptively to the drawings, in which similar reference characters denote similar elements throughout the several views, FIG. 1 - 4 illustrate safety glove 10 with reinforced finger sections 12. The reinforcements embedded in the gloves are a steel cap 14 for the tip of each finger and a hollow steel cylinder 15, protecting each finger section between the joints. The glove 10 thus will permit the fingers of the wearer to flex as required to grip a load or to handle necessary tools. The inside liner 17 of the glove is preferably fabricated of a cloth material, and the outside cover 16 of the glove is preferably fabricated of leather. Where water-proofing is a requirement, the outside layer 16 of the glove 10 may be fabricated of rubber or plastic.
Since obvious changes may be made in the specific embodiment of the invention described herein without departing from the scope thereof, it is indicated that all matter contained herein is intended to be interpreted in an illustrative and not a limiting sense.
