Protective kitchen gloves using ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene

Abstract

A protective kitchen glove that safeguards the hand and fingers of a wearer from cuts, burns, moisture, and electrical shock. The glove is primarily composed of an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene base material and a silk inner-lining. A textured conductive silicone material is also incorporated on a finger pad along with textured anti-slipping grips on an outer surface of the palmer side of the glove. Furthermore, rubber bristles and spherical rubber scrubbers are incorporated to aid in kitchen cleaning activities.

1 . A protective kitchen glove, comprising:
 an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene base material that fully covers palmer and dorsal surfaces of a human hand comprising four fingers cavities, a thumb cavity, a palm, a back of a hand, and a wrist;   a textured region located on the outer surface of the glove covering fingerprint pads of a thumb and index finger comprising a conductive silicone material;   a plurality of textured anti-slipping grips on an outer surface of the palmer side of the glove;   a silk material lining the inner cavity of the glove so as to make contact with the surface of skin when the glove is worn;   a plurality of bristles located on the outer surface of the glove, opposite of the thumb on a thin portion of the hand from the wrist to the pinky, in parallel to an arm;   a plurality of spherical scrubbers located on a plurality of fingerprint pads on the outer surface of the glove.   
     
     
         2 . The protective kitchen glove of  claim 1 , wherein the thumb cavity, textured silicone regions, textured rubber grips, rubber bristles, and spherical rubber scrubbers are oriented for a left hand or a right hand. 
     
     
         3 . The protective kitchen glove of  claim 1 , wherein the textured silicone material comprises arched friction ridges resembling a human finger print. 
     
     
         4 . The protective kitchen glove of  claim 1 , wherein the anti-slipping grips comprise a plurality of rubber fibers oriented orthogonal to the finger cavities. 
     
     
         5 . The protective kitchen glove of  claim 4 , wherein the rubber fibers oriented orthogonal to the finger cavities are spread over the surface of the palm of the glove, ranging vertically from the finger cavities to the wrist, and horizontally from the thumb cavity to an outer part of the hand. 
     
     
         6 . The protective kitchen glove of  claim 5 , wherein the rubber fibers are evenly distributed over the surface of the palm. 
     
     
         7 . The protective kitchen glove of  claim 4 , wherein the rubber fibers oriented orthogonal to the finger cavities are located on the palmar side of the finger and thumb cavities. 
     
     
         8 . The protective kitchen glove of  claim 7 , wherein the rubber fibers are evenly distributed over the surface of the finger and thumb cavities. 
     
     
         9 . The protective kitchen glove of  claim 1 , wherein the silk material lining the inner cavity of the glove fully encloses the fingers, the thumb, the palm, the back of the hand, and the wrist. 
     
     
         10 . The protective kitchen glove of  claim 1 , wherein the bristles comprise a rubber material, and are located on the outer surface of the glove, opposite of the thumb on a thin portion of the hand, ranging vertically from the pinky to the wrist. 
     
     
         11 . The protective kitchen glove of  claim 1 , wherein the spherical scrubbers comprise a rubber material, and are located on the outer surface of the glove, on the fingerprint pad region of a middle finger, a ring finger, or both. 
     
     
         12 . The protective kitchen glove of  claim 11 , wherein the rubber spherical scrubbers are evenly distributed over the fingerprint pad surface. 
     
     
         13 . The protective kitchen glove of  claim 1 , wherein the kitchen glove safeguards the hand and fingers of a wearer from cuts, burns, moisture, and electrical shock while performing kitchen activities. 
     
     
         14 . The protective kitchen glove of  claim 1 , wherein the kitchen glove enables a wearer to operate an electronic device, while performing kitchen activities.
