Problems solved by technology

Snow gloves often fit poorly—a pinky finger portion of a glove, for example, may be too long or not easy to manipulate.
A thumb portion may be improperly positioned or oriented, especially for small segments of the glove-using population, such as small children and the aged.
In addition to poor fit, snow gloves create a great deal of frustration

Embodiment Construction

[0012]FIG. 1 shows a rough outline of a prior art adult glove 22 and a prior art child's glove 24 placed side-by-side, empty, on a flat surface. In both gloves, the glove opening 26 is formed to close about the wearer's wrist and is constricted by an elastic gather 28 sewn about a portion of the glove which would cover the wrist when worn. In both gloves, all four of the finger openings 30 are located substantially the same distance from the glove opening 26, with only minor variations as illustrated relative to the line segment A-A. In both gloves, the palm-covering portion 32 and finger portions 34 are formed substantially in one plane, while the thumb portion 36 is shaped and sewn so that it projects out-of-plane in the palmer direction, consistent with the natural orientation of the opposed thumb on the human hand. Indeed, FIG. 1 shows both thumb portions 36 empty and folded against the palm-covering portion. Finally, even though the gloves differ greatly in size, each thumb ope...

Abstract

When the improved glove is open, the inner palmer surface of the glove is visible, displaying conspicuous guide lines which help an adult teach a small child how to put on a glove. When provided in a small child's size, the thumb portion of the improved glove is moved closer to the finger portions than in the design of traditional gloves and is rotated so as to be more in plane with the palm-covering portion of the glove. The fourth finger portion of the glove is moved back closer to the wrist end than in traditional glove designs. An elastic gather is stitched into the palm-covering portion near the wrist end to help in excluding snow. A soft fleece is attached to the back of the first finger portion for use in wiping one's face.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 057,662, filed May 30, 2008, and of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 081,010, filed Jul. 15, 2008. Both applications are hereby incorporated by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to gloves, more particularly to gloves for use outdoors, in snow or at work, and especially to a snow glove for a person who has difficulty putting on a glove. Such persons include small children, persons with arthritic hands, and persons whose strength, dexterity or sensation is impaired by cold or by the thickness of a glove worn on another hand.BACKGROUND[0003]Snow gloves often fit poorly—a pinky finger portion of a glove, for example, may be too long or not easy to manipulate. A thumb portion may be improperly positioned or oriented, especially for small segments of the glove-using population, such as small children and the aged. In addition to poor fit, sn...
