| Abstract: |
A protective glove includes a glove body having at least one pocket with one or more hollow, shock-absorbing cells disposed therein. Each cell comprises a thin, flexible peripheral wall and an open interior space, which interior space contains a fluid under pressure sufficient so that the cell deforms upon impact of an object against the cell and cushions the hand of the wearer from the impact. The invention thereby provides a protective glove which is lightweight, simple in design, attractive in appearance and effective to protect the wearer's hand from blows or impacts.

We claim:
1. A glove for protecting the back of a hand from abrasion and impact, the glove comprising:
- a flexible glove body having a front portion for covering a palm of a hand, a back portion for overlying a back of a hand and a wrist cuff defining a wrist opening for receiving a hand, the back portion including a first panel and a second panel, and means for joining the first panel and the second panel together to form at least one pocket on the back portion; and
- an array of hollow, sealed, shock-absorbing cells disposed in the pocket, each cell comprising a thin, flexible peripheral wall and an open interior space, which interior space is substantially filled with a fluid so that each cell deforms upon impact of an object against the cell and cushions the hand of the wearer from the impact, and each cell is closed and isolated from the other cells, such that rupture of one cell does not affect the shock absorbing characteristics of the other cells.
