| Abstract: |
A kitchen grip or implement for kitchen use is composed of a water-resistant and stain proof material having temperature control characteristics. Such a material forms the implement from at least one sheet having a textured, recessed or irregular surface providing a non-slip contact surface while the opposite surface of the sheet is composed of a close fabricated fabric which is affixed to the sheet of non-slip contact surface material. The fabric sheet may be a sheet of nylon/polyester composition which is affixed to the non-slip contact surface sheet which may be composed of a chloride rubber. The sheets are die cut to the shape of a useful implement such as a hand mitt, a trivet, a lid holder or the like. A two-piece implement such as a hand mitt requires that two sheets of the fabric and chloride rubber composition be sewn together by means of a zigzag lock stitch employing nylon thread. One surface of the mitt may include a cross-cut textured recessed imprint providing a non-slip or gripping contact surface while the opposite exposed surface of the mitt may take the form of the smooth nylon/ polyester fabric.

What is claimed is:
1. A kitchen implement comprising:
- a pair of sheets having identical configurations and residing next to each other so as to provide common edge marginal regions about a common and coextensive periphery;
- said sheets having a central cavity with an entrance for insertably accepting the hand of a user between said sheets;
- said sheets having opposing surfaces with at least one of said surfaces being of a irregular, frictional gripping surface;
- said sheets being characterized as heat and cold temperature resistant and stain resistant;
- stitching about said edge marginal region with a termination of said stitching defining said entrance;
- said sheets each include a layer of compressible material and cooperates with said stitching upon compressing to provide a water resistant lock stitch securing said edge marginal regions together;
- each of said sheets including a nylon/polyester fabric layer affixed to a chloride rubber neoprene layer;
- said chloride rubber neoprene layer being compressible and in cooperation with said stitching provides a water resistant seam; and
- said stitching being a zig-zag stitch.
