Coated supported glove with thin knitted liner
The patent US12035768B2 describes a coated supported glove featuring a 21-gauge knitted liner made from a combination of yarns. The liner includes multiple components: finger, thumb, backhand, and palm, constructed from a covered yarn that consists of a core yarn and an intermingled or wrapping yarn. The core yarn is specified to be 20 denier or less, while the intermingled or wrapping yarns are each 30 denier or less. The glove is coated with a non-foamed polymeric material that is integrally formed with the knitted liner, ensuring no strikethrough occurs. The overall thickness of the glove ranges from approximately 0.5 mm to 0.75 mm, and the covered yarn is specified to be between 50 to 70 denier.
Further claims detail the composition and characteristics of the yarns used in the glove. For instance, the second yarn can be a first wrapping yarn, with an optional second wrapping yarn that is 20 denier or less. The core yarn may be an elastane or elastomeric yarn, while the intermingled or wrapping yarns can include nylon 6 or nylon 6,6. The polymeric coating is created from a polymeric emulsion with a total solids content of 40-46%. Additionally, the glove is designed to meet an EN388 abrasion level of 4 or greater, indicating its durability. The knitting process involves using a V-bed knitting machine with 21-gauge needles spaced at 21 needles per inch, ensuring precision in the glove's construction.
