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.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A coated supported glove, comprising:
a 21-gauge knitted liner, comprising a plurality of finger components, a thumb component, a backhand component, and a palm component, wherein the 21-gauge knitted liner is formed with a covered yarn consisting of a first yarn that is a core yarn and a second yarn that is an intermingled yarn or a first wrapping yarn, and optionally a third yarn that is a second wrapping yarn, wherein the first yarn is 20 denier or less, and the second yarn and optional third yarn are individually 30 denier or less; and
a non-foamed polymeric coating adhered to and integrally formed with the 21-gauge knitted liner without strikethrough,
wherein the coated supported glove has a cross-sectional thickness ranging from about 0.5 mm to 0.75 mm; and
wherein the covered yarn is a 50 to 70 denier yarn.

2. The coated supported glove of claim 1 , wherein the second yarn is a first wrapping yarn, and further comprising the second wrapping yarn that wraps the first wrapping yarn.

3. The coated supported glove of claim 2 , wherein the second wrapping yarn is a 20 denier yarn or less.

4. The coated supported glove of claim 2 , wherein the first yarn is an elastane yarn.

5. The coated supported glove of claim 1 , wherein the intermingled yarn or the first or second wrapping yarn is a nylon 6 or nylon 6,6 yarn.

6. The coated supported glove of claim 1 , wherein the first yarn is an elastomeric yarn.

7. The coated supported glove of claim 1 , wherein the non-foamed polymeric coating is formed with a polymeric emulsion having a total solids content ranging from 40-46%.

8. The coated supported glove of claim 1 , wherein the supported glove has an EN388 abrasion level of 4 or greater.

9. The coated supported glove of claim 1 , wherein the core yarn is a 20 denier elastane yarn.

10. The coated supported glove of claim 1 , wherein the second yarn is a 30 denier polyamide intermingled yarn.

11. The coated supported glove of claim 1 , wherein the 21-gauge knitted liner is prepared by a process of knitting the covered yarn in a V-bed knitting machine.

12. The coated supported glove of claim 11 , wherein the V-bed knitting machine comprises 21-gauge needles spaced at 21 needles per inch.
