Work gloves with marking indicia

Abstract

A portable work station is convertible between a collapsed condition suitable for storage and transport and an expanded condition suitable for use as a work bench. The work station includes a central panel serving as a work table or bench positionable in generally horizontal plane when the work station is expanded. The central panel defines two opposing generally parallel ends. Legs at one of the parallel ends are movable between collapsed conditions within the collapsed work station and generally vertical positions when the work station is expanded for use as a work bench or table. A storage device is provided at the other end of the parallel ends movable between a collapsed condition substantially in parallel planes with the work table or bench and an extended condition substantially normal to the work table or bench. The storage device includes storage compartments or bins for storing tools, hardware or the like in the expanded condition of the work station. Rolling members on the storage device transport the work station in its collapsed condition by rolling it along a generally horizontal surface.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention generally relates to work gloves and, more specifically, to work gloves with marking indicia.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]Work gloves have been extensively used in various trades, including the construction industry, where workers must physically lift and handle various items including items that may be abrasive, sharp, extremely hot or cold, etc. Work gloves have been designed to protect the hands of workers in all trades and do-it-yourselfers, where injury can result even while performing small projects. In order to address the wide range of potential injuries gloves have been designed to meet specialized needs. Where high temperatures are involved the gloves are provided with insulating materials to eliminate or reduce the flow of heat. Where electricity is involved, the gloves are designed to provide electrical insulation to minimize the flow of electrical currents. However, the g...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The invention provides work gloves that have marking indicia for making rough measurements without the need for additional tape measures or devices. The gloves are simple and economical to manufacture and can provide accurate markings for various applications. Additionally, the gloves protect the user's hands and can be used for linear measurements, diameters of pipes, and other small dimensions and spaces between objects."

Problems solved by technology

However, the gloves that have been used in the past have been designed with the limited function of protecting the user.

This is not only time-consuming but inconvenient and tedious.
