Antibacterial and antiviral glove

Abstract

An antibacterial and antiviral glove in accordance with the present invention inhibits and prevents growth and transmission of bacteria and viruses, has an opening and comprises an outer fabric layer and an inner fabric layer. The outer fabric layer has many microscopic pores and a rough surface. The microscopic pores prevent bacteria and viruses from passing through the outer fabric layer. The inner fabric layer connects to the outer fabric layer and allows water and air to pass through the layer in only one direction.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An antibacterial and antiviral glove having an opening and comprising
 an outer fabric layer having
 many microscopic pores to prevent bacteria and viruses from passing through the outer fabric layer; and 
 a rough surface increasing friction when holding an item; and 
   an inner fabric layer connecting to the outer fabric layer and being a web through which water and air will only pass in one direction.   
     
     
         2 . The antibacterial and antiviral glove as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein
 the glove further comprises a fastener being mounted on the outer fabric_layer and closing the opening around a person's wrist.   
     
     
         3 . The antibacterial and antiviral glove as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein
 the outer fabric layer is impregnated with an antibiotic reagent; and   the inner fabric layer prevents the antibiotic reagent in the outer fabric layer from directly contacting a person's hand.   
     
     
         4 . The antibacterial and antiviral glove as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein
 the outer fabric layer is impregnated with a microbicidal reagent being selected from a group consisting of hydrocarbons, chlorine dioxide and nano silver particles; and   the inner fabric layer prevents the microbicidal reagent in the outer fabric layer from directly contacting a person's hand.   
     
     
         5 . The antibacterial and antiviral glove as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein
 the glove further comprises a cotton layer being mounted between the outer fabric layer and the inner fabric layer and helps the outer fabric layer prevent bacteria and viruses from passing through the glove and contacting a person's hand.   
     
     
         6 . The antibacterial and antiviral glove as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the glove further comprises
 a cotton layer being mounted between the outer fabric layer and the inner fabric layer and helps the outer fabric layer prevent bacteria and viruses from passing through the glove and contacting a person's hand.   
     
     
         7 . The antibacterial and antiviral glove as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the glove further comprises
 a cotton layer being mounted between the outer fabric layer and the inner fabric layer and helps the outer fabric layer prevent bacteria and viruses from passing through the glove and contacting a person's hand.   
     
     
         8 . The antibacterial and antiviral glove as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein
 the cotton layer has an microbial inhibitor being selected from a group consisting of activated carbon, hydrocarbons, nano silver particles, antibiotic reagent and antimicrobial ointment; and helps the outer fabric layer prevent bacteria and viruses from passing through the glove and contacting a person's hand.   
     
     
         9 . The antibacterial and antiviral glove as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein
 the glove further comprises an enhanced layer being mounted between the outer fabric layer and the cotton layer.   
     
     
         10 . The antibacterial and antiviral glove as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein
 the enhanced layer has an microbial inhibitor being selected from a group consisting of activated carbon, hydrocarbons, nano silver particles, antibiotic reagent and antimicrobial ointment.   
     
     
         11 . The antibacterial and antiviral glove as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein
 the antimicrobial ointment is a mixture of chlorine dioxide and petroleum jelly.   
     
     
         12 . The antibacterial and antiviral glove as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein
 the fastener is a hook and loop fastener or an adhesive fastener.
