Adjustable Garment

Abstract

An adjustable garment that forms a hand sheath with at least one fingerlike extension, and operable to adjust in length through various means for providing various amounts of protection to the hand against radiation. The adjustable garment includes a body portion configured to be operable to at least partially cover a hand. The body portion includes a body proximal end and a body distal end. The body proximal end includes a body aperture configured to at least partially allow a hand to pass through. Each extension can be manipulated, pushed, or pulled to expose additional areas of each finger. For example, a lateral force presses the extension proximal end towards the body portion, thereby at least partially exposing the at least one finger. The lateral force pressing against each extension serves to deform the size and dimensions of the flexible extension to deform, stretch, or twist.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A garment comprising:
 a body portion, said body portion being configured to be operable to at least partially cover a hand, said body portion comprising a body proximal end, said body proximal end comprising a body aperture, said body aperture being configured to be operable to at least partially allow said hand to pass through, said body portion further comprising a body distal end; and   at least one extension, said at least one extension being disposed to extend from said body distal end, said at least one extension being configured to be operable to at least partially cover at least one finger, said at least one extension being operable to adjust dimensions, said at least one extension comprising an extension proximal end, said at least one extension further comprising an extension distal end, said extension distal end comprising an extension aperture, said extension aperture being configured to at least partially allow at least one finger to pass through.   
     
     
         2 . The garment of  claim 1 , in which said garment comprises a glove. 
     
     
         3 . The garment of  claim 2 , in which said glove comprises a manicure glove. 
     
     
         4 . The garment of  claim 1 , in which said garment comprises a thermal shield. 
     
     
         5 . The garment of  claim 4 , wherein said thermal shield is configured to at least partially restrict contact with ultraviolet radiation. 
     
     
         6 . The garment of  claim 1 , in which said at least one extension comprises a grip portion. 
     
     
         7 . The garment of  claim 6 , wherein said grip portion is configured to provide grip for manipulating said at least one extension. 
     
     
         8 . The garment of  claim 7 , in which said grip portion comprises a rubber rectangle. 
     
     
         9 . The garment of  claim 8 , wherein said at least one extension is operable to adjustably change lengths. 
     
     
         10 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein said extension distal end is operable to retract towards said extension proximal end. 
     
     
         11 . The garment of  claim 10 , wherein said at least one extension is configured to be operable to extend up to or past at least one finger cuticle during an initial adornment, and then retract behind and expose said at least one finger cuticle during a final adornment. 
     
     
         12 . The garment of  claim 1 , in which said at least one extension distal end is operable to roll back towards said extension proximal end. 
     
     
         13 . The garment of  claim 1 , in which said at least one extension distal end is configured to be sheared for reducing a length. 
     
     
         14 . The garment of  claim 1 , in which said at least one extension comprises a thumb portion. 
     
     
         15 . The garment of  claim 1 , in which said at least one extension comprises an index finger portion. 
     
     
         16 . The garment of  claim 1 , in which said at least one extension comprises a middle finger portion. 
     
     
         17 . The garment of  claim 1 , in which said at least one extension comprises a ring finger portion. 
     
     
         18 . The garment of  claim 1 , in which said at least one extension comprises a pinky finger portion. 
     
     
         19 . A garment comprising:
 means for adorning an adjustable garment;   means for extending at least one extension beyond at least one finger;   means for retracting a distal extension towards an extension proximal portion; and   means for restricting contact with ultraviolet radiation.   
     
     
         20 . A garment consisting of:
 a body portion, said body portion being configured to be operable to at least partially cover a hand, said body portion comprising a body proximal end, said body proximal end comprising a body aperture, said body aperture being configured to be operable to at least partially allow said hand to pass through, said body portion further comprising a body distal end, said body portion further comprising a thermal shield, said thermal shield being configured to restrict contact with ultraviolet radiation; and   at least one extension, said at least one extension being disposed to extend from said body distal end, said at least one extension being configured to be operable to at least partially cover at least one finger, said at least one extension being operable to adjust dimensions, said dimensions comprising length, said at least one extension comprising an extension proximal end, said at least one extension further comprising an extension distal end, said extension distal end comprising an extension aperture, said extension aperture being configured to at least partially allow at least one finger to pass through, said at least one extension further comprising a grip portion, said grip portion comprising a rubber rectangle, said grip portion configured to provide a grip for manipulating said at least one extension, said at least one extension further comprising a thumb portion, said at least one extension further comprising an index finger portion, said at least one extension further comprising a middle finger portion, said at least one extension further comprising a ring finger portion, said at least one extension further comprising a pinky finger portion, said at least one extension further comprising said thermal shield, said thermal shield being configured to restrict contact with ultraviolet radiation.
