| Abstract: |
A glove and method of making it. The glove has a thumb portion and four finger-receiving portions and is knitted of fibers, e.g., cotton, polycotton, Kevlar®, rendering it flexible, but susceptible to wear. The palmar side of the glove includes plural patches of a wear-resistant flexible material, e.g., polyvinyl chloride, applied, e.g., silk-screened, metal screened, etc., thereto in a flowable state that it intimately bonds to the fibers. The patches on the palmar side of the glove are arranged in a pattern defining plural palmar flexure lines between immediately adjacent patches. The plural palmar flexure lines are arranged to be located over and substantially aligned with the respective crease lines of the hand of the person wearing the glove, such that the person may readily flex his/her hand without the patches interfering with that action.

I claim:
1. A glove arranged to be worn on the hand of a person, the person's hand having a palm and fingers, each with plural crease lines, said glove comprising a thumb receiving portion and at least one finger-receiving portion and being formed of fibers rendering it flexible, but susceptible to wear, said glove having a palmar side including plural patches of a wear-resistant flexible material, said flexible material being applied to said glove in a flowable state, whereupon some of said flexible material intimately engages said fibers and some of said flexible material gains ingress into interstices between said fibers to be intimately bonded to said fibers and resistant to separation therefrom, said patches and portions of the fibers to which they are bonded forming respective areas of reduced flexibility and increased wear-resistance, said patches being arranged in a pattern defining plural palmar flexure lines between immediately adjacent patches, at least one of said plural palmar flexure lines being oriented generally aligned with at least one of the crease lines of the palm of the person, such that the person may readily flex his/her hand without said patches interfering with such action.
