Abstract: |
An armored glove finger comprises a rib knit tubular member having an open end and an end closed with a seam. The tubular member is adapted to receive a human finger therein with the tip of the finger abutting the closed end and the seam disposed over the fingernail of the finger. The knit tube comprises a fiber of 100 to 650 denier made from a yarn having a tensile strength in excess of 120,000 psi. The armored glove finger resists inadvertent cuts and punctures and may be used in conjunction with conventional gloves or may be incorporated into a glove structure.
