Glove with Abrasive Surface Cover

Abstract

The inventive subject matter is directed toward a glove having a hand receiving opening and a sealing mechanism that substantially seals the hand receiving opening. Where the sealing mechanism has an abrasive surface, such as when hook and loop fasteners are engaged, a non-abrasive material could be utilized that covers the abrasive surface during use.

1 . A glove comprising:
 a hand receiving opening;   a sealing mechanism that substantially seals the hand receiving opening, wherein the sealing mechanism has an abrasive surface; and   a non-abrasive material that covers the abrasive surface when a hand is engaged within the hand-receiving opening.   
     
     
         2 . The glove of  claim 1 , wherein the sealing mechanism comprises hooks on one side of the opening and loops on an opposing side of the opening. 
     
     
         3 . The glove of  claim 2 , wherein the non-abrasive material is configured to fold over the hooks of the sealing mechanism. 
     
     
         4 . The glove of  claim 3 , wherein the non-abrasive material folds over the abrasive surface while a hand enters the hand-receiving opening. 
     
     
         5 . The glove of  claim 1 , wherein the non-abrasive material comprises cloth. 
     
     
         6 . The glove of  claim 1 , wherein the non-abrasive material couples to the abrasive surface. 
     
     
         7 . The glove of  claim 1 , further comprising a second non-abrasive material that covers a second abrasive surface of the sealing mechanism when a hand is engaged within the hand-receiving opening.
