Abstract: |
A safety glove for a workman is shown having a fingerless body portion for covering the palm and top of the hand, and attached finger and thumb as well as palm and top hand covering portions that can be easily separated from the main body portion by a pulling motion exerted lengthwise or otherwise along any one of the separable portions, which pulling motion would be produced, for example, when the top end of one or more of these finger portions or top hand sections is caught in a machine or snagged by a drill bit and the workman, with a reflex action, pulls his hand in an opposite direction. The instantaneous separation of the finger, thumb, palm or top hand covering portions from the main glove body portion prevents the entire gloved hand from being pulled into the machine and thus permits the workman to remove his hand from the danger zone.
