Abstract:
A thin coated supported glove, having a thin knitted liner, wherein the thin knitted liner has a plurality of finger components, a thumb component, a backhand component, and a palm component. The thin knitted liner comprises a covered yarn having a first yarn and a second yarn, wherein the first yarn is a core yarn that is 20 denier or less, wherein the second yarn is at least one of an intermingled yarn or a first wrapping yarn surrounding the core yarn, wherein the second yarn is 30 denier or less; and a thin polymeric coating adhered to the thin knitted liner.
Abstract:
Proposed are a high tenacity yarn and a method of manufacturing a glove using the same. More particularly, proposed are a high tenacity yarn capable of being knitted finely and thinly and having a high tenacity even if a metallic yarn is used as a core of a main yarn, and a method of manufacturing a glove using the same. To this end, the high tenacity yarn includes a core yarn and a covering yarn wound on a circumference of the core yarn. The core yarn includes a first core yarn part formed of a metal component and a second core yarn part formed of a metal component, and a total thickness of the first core yarn part and the second core yarn part is formed to be 0.07 mm or less.
Abstract:
Certain embodiments according to the invention provide compression articles suitable for a wide variety of uses (e.g., compression socks, athletic garments, etc.). In accordance with certain embodiments, the compression article includes at least two uniform compression regions, including a first uniform compression region having a first compression pressure and a second uniform compression region having a second compression pressure, and at least one transitioning compression region, including a first transitioning compression region positioned between the first and second uniform compression regions. The first transitioning compression region comprises a first end adjacent or proximate to the first uniform compression region and a second end adjacent or proximate to the second uniform compression region. The first transitioning compression region comprises a compression pressure gradient extending from the first end to the second end of the first transitioning compression region.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to a VR glove capable of measuring the movement of individual finger and thumb bones. The VR glove can include a plurality of inertial measurement units (IMUs) to track the movement of one or more finger and/or hand sections. The IMUs can include one or more motion sensors, such as a gyroscope and an accelerometer, for measuring the orientation, position, and velocity of objects (e.g., finger bones) that the IMU can be attached. An IMU can be located proximate to a finger (or thumb) bone and can measure the inertial motion of the corresponding bone. In some examples, the VR glove may include magnetometers to determine the direction of the geo-magnetic field. The VR glove can also include one or more other electronic components, such as a plurality of electrodes for sensing the heading, enabling capacitive touch, and/or contact sensing between finger tips.
Abstract:
A roper's glove is of knitted construction and designed to reduce bulk in the knuckles so as to allow a high degree of flexibility and a full range of motion in gripping and handling a rope. Most of the glove is of normal knit construction, but across knuckles the knitting courses are formed of a substantially lighter and less bulky feeder yarn to provide flexibility. Preferably about five such courses comprising the lighter feeder yarn are included at each knuckle, separated by several normal knitting courses. With reduced bulk in the knuckles, when the hand is closed around a rope the user has better contact with the rope for enhanced feel and control.
Abstract:
A perspiration control glove including a liner comprising knitted yarn, where the yarn comprises a wicking fiber, a shell comprising a polymeric material, the shell adhered to the liner, and an absorbent material element, where the element is coupled to the wicking fiber, and disposed between the liner and shell, to absorb and channel perspiration.
Abstract:
A glove, comprising an innermost liner comprising a first knitted material of a first knit gauge, an intermediate liner disposed over a first outside surface of the innermost liner, the intermediate liner comprising a second knitted material of a second knit gauge wherein the first knit gauge is different from the second knit gauge, a protective layer disposed over a second outside surface of the intermediate liner and an outer layer disposed over a third outside surface of the protective layer.
Abstract:
A knit fabric, protective sleeve and glove constructed therefrom has three knit layers knit constructed and knit to one another in a single knitting operation to provide the fabric as a single piece of knit material. The fabric includes an outer layer, an inner layer and an intermediate layer sandwiched between the outer and inner layers. The outer layer is knit with a first yarn, the inner layer is knit with a second yarn and the intermediate layer is knit with a third yarn in looped fashion about at least some of the first and second yarns to provide an integrally knit structure having three layers knit stitched together in a single knitting process.
Abstract:
A staple fiber yarn having at least one twisted thread. The twisted thread includes a mixture of first staple fibers and second staple fibers. The first staple fibers are produced from high-strength filaments and the second staple fibers have a shrinkage in the range from 5% to 50%. The weight ratio of the first to second staple fibers lies in the range of 5:95 to 45:55. A method for producing a textile article wherein shrinkage is implemented either on the staple fiber yarn, after which the article is produced from the shrunken staple fiber yarn, or on the article containing the non-shrunken staple fiber yarn. The textile article has a wear resistance that is similarly high or indeed even higher than that of a correspondingly produced textile article, the staple fiber yarn of which consists exclusively of first staple fibers that are produced from high-strength filaments.
Abstract:
A method for knitting a glove is provided in which the glove is knitted by using a flat-knitting device including at least a pair of front and back needle beds which extend in a horizontal direction while facing each other from front and back directions, at least one of the front and back needle beds being movable horizontally in a racking motion, the flat-knitting device capable of transferring stitches between the front and back needle beds. The method includes the steps of knitting a four-finger body through which a little finger, a ring finger, a middle finger, and an index finger are to be inserted; performing a rotational operation before joining the four-finger body with a thumb sheath, the rotational operation being performed by transferring stitches of the four-finger body held by knitting needles to free needles and moving at least one of the front and back needles beds in a racking motion so as to rotate the four-finger body towards knitting needles holding stitches of the thumb sheath; and joining the four-finger body with the thumb sheath.
