Glove for pumping gasoline

Abstract

A glove for pumping gasoline includes an outer layer defining an exterior surface and an interior surface. The exterior surface is adapted for direct contact with objects exterior to the glove, and the interior surface is adapted to define a volume for receiving a hand. The glove is substantially leak-proof and defines a digits portion for covering substantially the fingers and the thumb of the hand and a palm portion for covering substantially the remainder of the hand. The glove is adapted to be partially reversible upon removal from the hand such that the digits portion is disposed substantially entirely within the resulting volume defined by and interior to the palm portion upon turning the interior surface outward so that gasoline disposed upon the digits portion is substantially disposed within the resulting volume defined by and interior to the palm portion.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A glove for pumping gasoline, comprising: 
 an outer layer defining an exterior surface and an interior surface, said exterior surface adapted for direct contact with objects exterior to said glove, said interior surface adapted to define a volume for receiving a hand, said glove being substantially leak-proof to substantially prevent the hand from contact with liquid and defining a digits portion for covering substantially the fingers and the thumb of the hand and a palm portion for covering substantially the remainder of the hand, said glove adapted to be partially reversible upon removal from the hand such that said digits portion is disposed substantially entirely within the resulting volume defined by and interior to said palm portion upon turning said interior surface outward so that gasoline disposed upon said digits portion is substantially disposed within the resulting volume defined by and interior to said palm portion.    
     
     
         2 . The glove for pumping gasoline as recited in  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said exterior surface and said interior surface is substantially leak-proof.  
     
     
         3 . The glove for pumping gasoline as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said glove further includes at least one inner layer disposed within said outer layer between said exterior surface and said interior surface and is substantially leak-proof.  
     
     
         4 . The glove for pumping gasoline as recited in  claim 3 , wherein at least one of said exterior surface and said interior surface and said at least one inner layer is substantially leak-proof.  
     
     
         5 . The glove for pumping gasoline as recited in  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said exterior surface and said interior surface is substantially odor-absorbing to substantially prevent the hand from contact with odors.  
     
     
         6 . The glove for pumping gasoline as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said at least one inner layer is substantially odor-absorbing to substantially prevent the hand from contact with odors.  
     
     
         7 . The glove for pumping gasoline as recited in  claim 3 , wherein at least one of said exterior surface and said interior surface and said at least one inner layer is substantially odor-absorbing to substantially prevent the hand from contact with odors.  
     
     
         8 . The glove for pumping gasoline as recited in  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said exterior surface and said interior surface is substantially disinfecting.  
     
     
         9 . The glove for pumping gasoline as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said at least one inner layer is substantially disinfecting.  
     
     
         10 . The glove for pumping gasoline as recited in  claim 3 , wherein at least one of said exterior surface and said interior surface and said at least one inner layer is substantially disinfecting.  
     
     
         11 . The glove for pumping gasoline as recited in  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said exterior surface and said interior surface is substantially odor-absorbing to substantially prevent the hand from contact with odors and substantially disinfecting.  
     
     
         12 . The glove for pumping gasoline as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said at least one inner layer is substantially odor-absorbing to substantially prevent the hand from contact with odors and substantially disinfecting.  
     
     
         13 . The glove for pumping gasoline as recited in  claim 3 , wherein at least one of said exterior surface and said interior surface and said at least one inner layer is substantially odor-absorbing to substantially prevent the hand from contact with odors and substantially disinfecting.  
     
     
         14 . The glove for pumping gasoline as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said at least one inner layer is continuous and bonded to said outer layer.  
     
     
         15 . The glove for pumping gasoline as recited in  claim 14 , wherein said at least one inner layer is disposed substantially co-extensively with said outer layer.  
     
     
         16 . The glove for pumping gasoline as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said outer layer is made of a textile.  
     
     
         17 . The glove for pumping gasoline as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said exterior surface is in the form of a cut-resistant cloth.  
     
     
         18 . The glove for pumping gasoline as recited in  claim 17 , wherein said exterior surface is made from metal mesh.  
     
     
         19 . The glove for pumping gasoline as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said interior surface includes a fastening member disposed thereon for hanging said glove.  
     
     
         20 . The glove for pumping gasoline as recited in  claim 19 , wherein said fastening member is disposed on said palm portion.
