Knitted glove with modified variable plating having a reinforced region

Abstract

A knitted glove and a method of making a knitted glove. The knitted glove comprising a plurality of glove components wherein at least one section of at least one of the components in the plurality of components comprises two yarns knitted simultaneously forming a plated structure and at least one reinforced region formed on the glove having at least three stitch courses.

1 . A knitted glove comprising:
 a plurality of glove components wherein at least one section of at least one of the components in the plurality of components comprises two yarns knitted simultaneously forming a plated structure; and   at least one reinforced region formed on the glove having at least three stitch courses.   
     
     
         2 . The knitted glove of  claim 1  wherein the plurality of glove components comprises:
 four finger components with each having at least two separate knitted sections; a thumb component having at least two separated knitted sections; 
 two palm components with each having at least two separate knitted sections; and a wrist component having at least one knitted section. 
 
     
     
         3 . The knitted glove of  claim 2  wherein the interconnection of finger components and finger to thumb components forms a crotch area in which the at least one reinforced region is formed. 
     
     
         4 . The knitted glove of  claim 3  further comprising a coating over at least a portion of the four finger components, thumb component and two palm components, where the coating does not penetrate through the at least one reinforced region. 
     
     
         5 . The knitted glove of  claim 1  wherein at least a portion of at least one component is knitted using a single yarn and the reinforced regions is knitted using at least one additional yarn. 
     
     
         6 . The knitted glove of  claim 1  wherein the plated structure comprises at least one glove section adjacent to a finger crotch area. 
     
     
         7 . The knitted glove of  claim 1  wherein the plated structure comprises at least one of 4, 5 or six stitch courses. 
     
     
         8 . The knitted glove of  claim 1  wherein the at least one reinforced region is located in a crotch area. 
     
     
         9 . A knitted glove comprising:
 a plurality of glove components wherein at least one section of at least one of the components in the plurality of components comprises two yarns knitted simultaneously forming a plated structure, where the plurality of components comprises:
 four finger components with each having at least two separate knitted sections; 
   a thumb component having at least two separated knitted sections;
 two palm components with each having at least two separate knitted sections; 
   and   a wrist component having at least one knitted section;   
       and
 a plurality of reinforced regions formed on the glove having at least three stitch courses, where at least one reinforced region of the plurality of reinforced regions is formed at a finger crotch area formed by an interconnection of finger components or finger to thumb components. 
 
     
     
         10 . The knitted glove of  claim 9  further comprising a coating over at least a portion of the four finger components, thumb component and two palm components, where the coating does not penetrate through the at least one reinforced region. 
     
     
         11 . The knitted glove of  claim 9  wherein at least a portion of at least one component is knitted using a single yarn and the reinforced region is knitted using at least one additional yarn. 
     
     
         12 . The knitted glove of  claim 9  wherein the plated structure comprises at least one glove section adjacent to the finger crotch area. 
     
     
         13 . The knitted glove of  claim 9  wherein the plated structure comprises at least one of 4, 5 or six stitch courses. 
     
     
         14 . A method of making a knitted glove comprising:
 knitting a plurality of components of a glove wherein at least one section of at least one of the components comprises two yarns knitted simultaneously forming a plated structure; and   knitting at least one reinforced region on the glove having at least three stitch courses.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14  wherein knitting a plurality of components comprises:
 knitting four finger components with each having at least two separate knitted sections; 
 knitting a thumb component having at least two separated knitted sections; 
 knitting two palm components with each having at least two separate knitted sections; and 
 knitting a wrist component having at least one knitted section. 
 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15  wherein the plated structure is in at least one glove section adjacent to a finger crotch area formed at the interconnection of finger components or thumb to finger components. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 14  wherein the plated structure comprises at least one of 4, 5 or 6 stitch courses. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 14  further comprising:
 forming a coating on at least a portion of at least one component, where the coating does not penetrate through the reinforced region. 
 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18  wherein the coating is at least one of natural latex, nitrile or polyurethane.
