Oil resistant work glove

Abstract

A work glove is provided having some liquid resistance. The work glove consists of an outer fabric shell which has a plastisol coating on the fabric on an interior surface of the glove to cover a palm portion and inner surfaces of the glove. An inner comfort liner covers the plastisol coating to cushion the palm and absorb some perspiration. Preferably, the outer fabric shell is a circular knitted cotton fabric which provides good grip on oily metal surfaces. A method of fabrication is also provided.

1 . A glove having an outer shell made of fabric, a plastisol coating on the fabric shell disposed on an interior portions of the glove to cover a palm portion and front portions of the glove, and an inner comfort liner covering the plastisol coating.  
   
   
       2 . A glove according to  claim 1  in which the outer shell is made of a circular knitted cotton fabric.  
   
   
       3 . A glove according to  claim 1  in which the plastisol coating is selected from the group comprising: polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, acrylonitrile butadiene rubber, latex.  
   
   
       4 . A glove according to  claim 1  in which the comfort liner is a non-woven felt made of polyester.  
   
   
       5 . A glove according to  claim 1  defining a plurality of pockets each adapted to receive a digit.  
   
   
       6 . A glove according to  claim 1  defining five pockets each adapted to receive a respective digit.  
   
   
       7 . A glove having an outer shell made of a circular knitted cotton fabric, a plastisol coating on the fabric disposed on an interior surface of the glove to cover a palm portion and front portions of the glove, and an inner comfort liner covering the plastisol coating on the palm portion and front portions of the glove.  
   
   
       8 . A method of fabricating a glove having a palm portion, front portions, and a back portion, the method having the following steps: 
 slipping an outer fabric shell over a first hand former,    bringing the hand former into contact with a bath of plastisol to coat the fabric shell on the palm portion and front portions of the glove with a plastisol coating,    separating the hand former from the bath of plastisol,    allowing the plastisol coating to dry until it is still tacky,    applying an inner comfort liner to the tacky plastisol coating to produce a glove assembly,    heating the glove assembly to cure the plastisol coating, and    removing the glove assembly from the hand former to bring the inner comfort liner into an interior of the glove while exposing the outer shell adjacent the palm portion.    
   
   
       9 . A method according to  claim 8  in which the hand former is made of aluminum.  
   
   
       10 . A method according to  claim 8  in which the inner comfort liner is applied to the plastisol coating within two minutes after separating the hand former and the bath of plastisol.  
   
   
       11 . A method according to  claim 8  in which the glove assembly is heated at 300° F. for one half hour to cure a plastisol coating made of acrylonitrile butadiene rubber.  
   
   
       12 . A method according to  claim 8  in which the glove assembly is removed from the first hand former by inverting the glove assembly over a second hand former disposed end to end with the first hand former.
