work glove that provides protection against gennemstikning of needles

摘要

Hitherto, when attempting to make work gloves pierceproof, e.g. by using a very heavy oxhide, the gloves have become so stiff that they are almost unusable in practice. In connection with the invention the inner side of the glove is provided with an inset of an extremely closely woven metal webbing material made of very thin metal wire, whereby this inset is both reasonably easily flexible, though non-stretchable, and pronouncedly pierce - and cutproof, however without obstructing a forced piercing by a sewing machine needle when the glove is being produced. On the upper or outer side of the glove is used a conventional glove material, which is sufficiently stretchable to make the glove as a whole easily flexible. The strengthening material should be used in combination with an outer layer of leather or suede, as these layers in combination provide the high degree of security against piercing by used hypodermic needles. The same combination of layers may be used in other pierceproof clothing objects.
