| Abstract: |
A glove construction patterned to be conformal to the articulated movements of the human hand where a plurality of individual parts are designed and constructed to accommodate controlled extension and compression of the outer cover with respect to finger, thumb and metacarpal joints. The finger portions are provided with telescoping sections terminating at the lateral sides of the fingers on a neutral line of the finger joint called "the line of non-extension." The thumb back is comprised of three sections which form a natural thumb contour in the normal working attitude. The finger sections join the hand portion of the glove to provide a natural break line for the palm and metacarpal joints.
