Heatproof mitten

Abstract

A heatproof mitten is essentially a bag and has an outer surface, an inner surface, an open end, a closed end, multiple nubs, multiple slots, multiple top ribs and multiple bottom ribs. The closed end has a finger end and a thumb end that allow a person's four fingers and a thumb to slide into the heatproof mitten. The nubs protrude from the outer surface at the closed end and reduce the surface area of the heatproof mitten in contact with a hot dish. The slots are formed in the outer surface of the bag between the closed end and the open end to make the heatproof mitten more flexible around a person's wrist. The ribs are formed longitudinally on the inner surface of the bag to form an air gap between a person's hand and the inner surface to make putting on and taking off the heatproof mitten easier.

1 . A heatproof mitten comprising 
 a bag having 
 an open end; and  
 a closed end having 
 a finger end; and  
 a thumb end;  
 
 a palm area between the finger end and the thumb end;  
 an outer surface;  
 an inner surface;  
 multiple nubs extending out of the outer surface of the bag in the palm area, the finger end and the thumb end;  
 multiple slots formed in the outer surface of the bag between the open end and the close end of the bag;  
 multiple top ribs formed longitudinally on and protruding from the inner surface of the bag to define multiple air gaps in the bag; and  
 multiple bottom ribs formed longitudinally on and protruding from the inner surface of the bag to define multiple air gaps in the bag.  
   
   
   
       2 . The heatproof mitten as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the bag has a hanging hole formed through the bag near the open end of the bag.
