| Abstract: |
A method and apparatus for an improved waterproof glove is disclosed. A waterproof membrane and a cloth lining are laminated together to make a glove lining material. Then, front and back hand portions shaped as the front and back of a hand are cut out of the glove lining material. An opening is provided in the front portion for the thumb. A thumb portion is cut out of the glove lining material. An adhesive is silk screened onto the edges of the front and/or back hand portions. The edges of the front hand portion are then high frequency welded to the edges of the back hand portion to form the glove liner. The thumb portion is sewn onto the front hand portion and waterproof sealing tape is applied over the stitches to maintain the waterproof integrity of the glove liner. The glove liner is inserted into an outer glove shell for durability.
