Abstract

The glove incorporates pull tabs on the posterior side of the digit sleeves. The pull tabs are located adjacent the distal tip of the digit sleeves, approximately positioned on the sleeve over where the wearer's fingernail would be within the sleeve. The pull tabs extend from the posterior surface of the digit sleeves enough to be grasped by a wearer's opposite hand or gripped in the wearer's teeth to assist in doffing the glove with little exposure to the anterior contact surfaces of the glove and without interfering with the functionality of the glove or wearer.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A glove comprising:
 a main glove body for receiving the palm of a hand therein;   at least one digit sleeve extending from the main body to receive one of the fingers and thumb of the hand therein, the digit sleeve having a distal end extending from the main body, the digit sleeve also having a posterior side and an anterior side thereof; and   a pull tab extending outward from the posterior side of the digit sleeve adjacent the distal end of the digit sleeve to assist in doffing the glove from the hand.   
     
     
         2 . The glove of  claim 1  wherein the digit sleeve is formed in part by a posterior covering material and an anterior covering material that wraps over the distal end of the digit sleeve and joins the posterior covering material section. 
     
     
         3 . The glove of  claim 2  wherein the pull tab is formed by an overlapped and joined portion of the anterior covering material. 
     
     
         4 . A glove comprising:
 a main glove body for receiving the palm of a hand therein;   at least one digit sleeve extending from the main body to receive one of the fingers and thumb of the hand therein, the digit sleeve having a distal end extending from the main body, the digit sleeve also having a posterior side and an anterior side thereof; and   a pull tab extending from the distal end of the digit sleeve to assist in doffing the glove from the hand, the pull tab pivotal between a first position extending outward from the distal end of the digit and a second position secured to the posterior side of the digit sleeve.   
     
     
         5 . The glove of  claim 4  wherein the digit sleeve is formed in part by a posterior covering material and an anterior covering material joined to the posterior covering material at the distal end of the digit sleeve. 
     
     
         6 . The glove of  claim 5  wherein the pull tab is formed by the distal end of the anterior covering material. 
     
     
         7 . The glove of  claim 5  wherein the pull tab is secured to the posterior side of the digit sleeve by mating hook and loop affixed between the pull tab and the posterior covering material. 
     
     
         8 . The glove of  claim 5  wherein the pull tab is secured to the posterior side of the digit sleeve by mating fasteners affixed to the pull tab and the posterior covering material. 
     
     
         9 . A glove comprising:
 a main glove body for receiving the palm of a hand therein;   at least one digit sleeve extending from the main body to receive one of the fingers of the hand therein, the digit sleeve having a distal end extending from the main body, the digit sleeve also having a posterior side and an anterior side thereof, the digit sleeve is formed in part by an elongated posterior covering material and an anterior covering material that wraps over the distal end of the digit sleeve and joins the posterior covering material; and   a pull tab extending outward from the posterior side of the digit sleeve adjacent the distal end of the digit sleeve to assist in doffing the glove from the hand, the pull tab is formed by an overlapped and joined portion of the anterior covering material.
