| Abstract: |
A flexible, tear resistant, protective glove, particularly for use near live wires or equipment, is of unitary structure, having an inner layer of natural rubber, particularly suited for high voltage protection, and an outer layer of urethane elastomer bonded thereto and giving tear and abrasion resistance. Bulges are formed across the back of the main portion of the glove and across the back at each finger and the thumb, to provide excess material which permits ready bonding of fingers and thumb for gripping, without restriction by the glove.

What is claimed is:
1. A seamless, flexible, tear resistant protective glove comprising:
- an inner layer of natural rubber of a thickness of at least about 0.040 inches;
- an outer layer of a urethane elastomer bonded to said inner layer and of a thickness of at least about 0.003 inches;
- a plurality of bulges extending laterally across the back of the glove, said bulges defined by seamless extensions of said layers from the normal contour of the glove and molded integrally therewith, the glove having a back portion, fingers and thumb;
- said bulges comprising; a first bulge extending transversely across the back portion of the glove at a position substantially aligned with the junction of metacarpal bones and phalanges of a user;
- a second bulge extending transversely across the back portion of the glove, spaced from and substantially parallel to said first bulge at a position substantially overlying the upper part of the metacarpus of the user;
- an individual bulge across the back of each finger and positioned at the first joint from the metacarpus;
- a bulge extending across the back of the thumb and positioned at the second joint from the thumb tip;
- said bulges extending to be flush with the sides of the back portion of the glove and the sides of the fingers and thumb respectively, and including a transition portion at each end of each bulge.
