Eraser Glove

Abstract

An eraser glove is provided for effectively removing ink and other marking substrates from a board while keeping the fingers exposed and free to directly handle objects, such as writing implements and sports equipment. The eraser glove includes a palmar side, a dorsal side, and a plurality of finger portions extending from an upper end of the body. Each finger portion includes a bore that can receive a corresponding finger of a wearer. Each finger portion terminates prior to a knuckle of the wearer so as to expose an interphalangeal joint of the corresponding finger. A pad is removably attached to a lateral side of the glove body at a pad receiving portion. The lateral side is opposite a thumb side and extends across the palmar and the dorsal side. The pad is able to remove and capture ink and other marking substrates from a writing surface when wiped thereagainst.
