Glove featuring an enhanced texturized inner surface

Abstract

Various embodiments of this invention relate to gloves that provide an enhanced friction grip between the glove and the wearer's hand through a plurality of projections on the inner surface of the glove. The invention discloses an improved glove for gripping objects because the movement of the hand within the glove is minimized by the application of the plurality of projections to the inner glove.

       6 . A glove that provides an enhanced friction grip between the glove and the wearer's hand according to  claim 1 , wherein said plurality of projections are comprised of a material selected from the group consisting of: silicone, plastic, rubber, vinyl, leather, fabric, fiberglass fabric, knit fibers, or polymer-based materials. 
   
   
       7 . A glove that provides an enhanced friction grip between the glove and the wearer's hand, comprising:
 a generally clothlike material, said generally clothlike material having an outer surface and an inner surface,   said inner surface being comprised of one or more generally clothlike materials and featuring a plurality of projections on said inner surface,   said plurality of projections being configured to increase the friction between said inner surface and the wearer's hand such that the glove provides enhanced friction grip between said glove and the wearer's hand, and   said plurality of projections being configured to form one or more texturized patterns comprising a series of oval rings that provide enhanced friction grip between said glove and the wearer's hand;   wherein said plurality of projections are comprised of a different material than the one or more generally clothlike materials used in constructing the inner surface.   
   
   
       8 . A glove that provides an enhanced friction grip between the glove and the wearer's hand according to  claim 7 , wherein a first texturized pattern is located, generally on the fingers of said inner surface and a second texturized pattern is located, generally, on the palm of said inner surface. 
   
   
       9 . (canceled) 
   
   
       10 . A glove that provides an enhanced friction grip between the glove and the wearer's hand according to  claim 7 , wherein said plurality of projections are comprised of a material selected from the group consisting of: silicone, plastic, rubber, vinyl, leather, fabric, fiberglass fabric, knit fibers, or polymer-based materials. 
   
   
       11 . A method for producing a glove that provides an enhanced friction grip between the glove and the wearer's hand, comprising:
 applying a plurality of projections on to the inner surface of generally clothlike material having an outer surface and an inner surface and that is used to construct said glove,   said plurality of projections being configured to increase the friction between said inner surface and the wearer's hand such that the glove provides enhanced friction grip between said glove and the wearer's hand, wherein the plurality of projections comprises oval rings.   
   
   
       12 . A method for producing a glove that provides an enhanced friction grip between the glove and the wearer's hand according to  claim 11 , wherein said plurality of projections is configured to form a texturized pattern that provides enhanced friction grip between said glove and the wearer's hand. 
   
   
       13 . (canceled) 
   
   
       14 . A method for producing a glove that provides an enhanced friction grip between the glove and the wearer's hand according to  claim 12 , wherein said texturized pattern appears only on the fingers of said inner surface of the glove. 
   
   
       15 . A method for producing a glove that provides an enhanced friction grip between the glove and the wearer's hand according to  claim 11 , wherein said plurality of projections are comprised of a different material than the one or more generally clothlike materials used in constructing the inner surface. 
   
   
       16 . A method for producing a glove that provides an enhanced friction grip between the glove and the wearer's hand according to  claim 11 , wherein said plurality of projections are comprised of a material selected from the group consisting of: silicone, plastic, rubber, vinyl, leather, fabric, fiberglass fabric, knit fibers, or polymer-based materials.
