| Abstract: |
A protective glove intended for use by law enforcement officers and the like having in its preferred embodiment a thumbless hand-shaped leather outer glove side, a similarly hand-shaped leather inner glove side having a thumb, the two glove sides being sewn together along their aligned edges (using a joinder strip in the finger areas) to form a hollow leather glove shell. A protective insert sandwich comprising an outer layer of lead-filled vinyl, two intermediate layers of metal wire mesh and two inner layers of foam cushion is positioned next to the outer glove side. A hollow inner lining of smooth fabric is inserted into the hollow leather glove shell between the two foam cushion layers and the inner glove side. The resulting glove provides considerable protection against heavy blows, sharp objects and other instruments which would normally damage the wearer's hand and fingers. The glove also has considerable weight which enables the wearer to strike an assailant with an effective blow.
