Abstract

A hand glove having a palmar side and an opposed dorsal side, the hand glove comprising: at least one of a palmar laminate and a dorsal laminate, the at least one of the palmar laminate and the dorsal laminate covering a hand from a thumb side to a little finger side and having finger portions, the at least one of the palmar laminate and the dorsal laminate including an outer glove element; an inner glove element superposed inwardly to the outer glove element; at least one cushioning element extending in between the outer glove element and the inner glove element and creating at least one protruding cushioning pad, and the outer and inner glove elements and the at least one cushioning element being secured together through seamless bonding with at least one seamless bonding line contouring the at least one cushioning pad.

1 . A hand glove comprising:
 a glove body adapted to receive the hand of a user, the glove body comprising:   a single palmar laminate adapted to cover a palm of the hand from a thumb side to a little finger side, and from at least an intersection between the wrist and the palm to at least an intersection between the palm and the fingers, the single palmar laminate being peripherally connected to a remainder of the glove body, the palmar laminate being seamless in its main palmar surface extending from the thumb side to the little finger side, the palmar laminate formed with
 an outer glove layer; 
 an inner glove layer superposed inwardly to the outer glove layer; 
 at least one cushioning element extending in between the outer glove layer and the inner glove layer and creating at least one protruding cushioning pad; and 
 the outer and inner glove layers and the at least one cushioning element being secured together through seamless bonding with at least one seamless bonding line contouring the at least one cushioning pad. 
   
     
     
         2 . The hand glove as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the palmar laminate comprises at least one seamless flexibility line in its main palmar surface, the at least one seamless flexibility line having a thickness smaller than that of the adjacent surfaces of the palmar laminate. 
     
     
         3 . The hand glove as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the at least one seamless flexibility line is adapted to be generally superposed with at least one of a life line, a head line, a fate line and a heart line of a palm of the hand of a wearer. 
     
     
         4 . The hand glove as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein an exterior of the main palmar surface of the palmar laminate is concave when not worn. 
     
     
         5 . The hand glove as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein a concavity defined in the main palmar surface extends from the thumb side to the little finger side. 
     
     
         6 . The hand glove as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the palmar laminate comprises a plurality of finger portions. 
     
     
         7 . The hand glove as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the at least one seamless bonding line contouring the at least one cushioning pad includes a periphery of the cushioning element laminated between the inner and outer glove layers. 
     
     
         8 . The hand glove as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising an aeration window defined in the main palmar surface, the aeration consisting of superposed cutouts in the outer glove layer and the inner glove layer. 
     
     
         9 . The hand glove as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein a mesh layer spans the aeration window, a periphery of the mesh layer being seamlessly laminated between the outer glove layer and the inner glove layer about the cutouts. 
     
     
         10 . The hand glove as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a cushioning layer interposed between the outer glove layer and the inner glove layer throughout the single palmar laminate, the cushioning layer having a greater thickness at the at least one cushioning pad. 
     
     
         11 . The hand glove as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising at least two of the cushioning pads, with at least a first of the cushioning pads being made of a single cushioning element, and with at least a second of the cushioning pads being made of at least two superposed cushioning elements. 
     
     
         12 . A hand glove comprising:
 a glove body adapted to receive the hand of a user, the glove body comprising:   at least one palmar laminate adapted to cover a palm of the hand from a thumb side to a little finger side, and from at least an intersection between the wrist and the palm to at least an intersection between the palm and the fingers, the at least one palmar laminate being peripherally connected to a remainder of the glove body, the at least one palmar laminate, the palmar laminate formed with at least an outer glove layer, and an inner glove layer superposed inwardly to the outer glove layer, the at least one palmar laminate defining a pre-shaped concavity formed in an exterior of the main palmar surface when the glove is not worn, the pre-shaped concavity generally extending from the thumb side to the little finger side.   
     
     
         13 . The hand glove as claimed in  claim 12 , further comprising at least one cushioning element extending in between the outer glove layer and the inner glove layer and creating at least one protruding cushioning pad within the concavity. 
     
     
         14 . The hand glove as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein the at least one palmar laminate is a single palmar laminate. 
     
     
         15 . The hand glove as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein the concavity generally extends from the intersection between the wrist and the palm to at least an intersection between the palm and the fingers. 
     
     
         16 . The hand glove as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein the palmar laminate comprises a plurality of finger portions. 
     
     
         17 . The hand glove as claimed in  claim 12 , further comprising an aeration window defined in concavity of the main palmar surface, the aeration consisting of superposed cutouts in the outer glove layer and the inner glove layer. 
     
     
         18 . The hand glove as claimed in  claim 17 , wherein a mesh layer spans the aeration window. 
     
     
         19 . The hand glove as claimed in  claim 12 , further comprising a cushioning layer interposed between the outer glove layer and the inner glove layer throughout the single palmar laminate, the cushioning layer having a greater thickness at the at least one cushioning pad.
