Hand Glove with Dual Zippers

Abstract

A hand glove includes a glove body having a dorsal side, a palmar side, a radial side, an ulnar side, and a hand portion including a palm section, a dorsal section, a plurality of digit sheaths, and an opening for providing access to an interior of the glove. The digit sheaths include at least a first sheath corresponding to the first digit of a wearer's hand and second sheath corresponding to one or more of the other digits of a wearer's hand. The radial side includes a first zipper and a first fastening strap. The ulnar side includes a second zipper and a second fastening strap. The first zipper is parallel with and opposite to the second zipper. The dorsal side includes a fastener spanning the dorsal section. The fastening straps are configured to removably attach to the fastener to secure the glove body to a wearer's hand.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hand glove, comprising:
 a glove body including a dorsal side, a palmar side, the dorsal side opposite the palmar side, a radial side, an ulnar side, the radial side opposite the ulnar side, a hand portion defining an interior cavity configured to receive and cover the hand of a wearer, the hand portion including a palm section on the palmar side, a dorsal section on the dorsal side, an upper end including a plurality of digit sheaths protruding outwardly therefrom, and a lower end including a peripheral edge defining an opening for providing access to the interior cavity of the glove body, the hand portion extending from the radial side to the ulnar side, the plurality of digit sheaths including at least a first sheath corresponding to the first digit of a wearer's hand and second sheath corresponding to one or more of the other digits of a wearer's hand, the radial side including a first zipper and a first fastening strap extending outwardly therefrom, the ulnar side including a second zipper and a second fastening strap extending outwardly therefrom, the first zipper parallel with and opposite to the second zipper, the dorsal side including a fastener spanning the dorsal section, the first fastening strap and the second fastening strap configured to removably attach to the fastener to secure the glove body to a wearer's hand.   
     
     
         2 . The hand glove of  claim 1 , wherein the first zipper and second zipper are coplanar defining a hypothetical plane that divides the glove body in half along a coronal plane of the glove body, thereby separating and defining the dorsal section and the palm section. 
     
     
         3 . The hand glove of  claim 1 , wherein the first zipper extends longitudinally along the radial side from the peripheral edge of the hand portion to the first sheath and the second zipper extends longitudinally along the ulnar side from the peripheral edge of the hand portion to the second sheath. 
     
     
         4 . The hand glove of  claim 3 , wherein the first zipper includes a length smaller than a length of the second zipper. 
     
     
         5 . The hand glove of  claim 3 , wherein the first zipper includes a length substantially equal to a length of the second zipper. 
     
     
         6 . The hand glove of  claim 5 , wherein the first fastening strap is disposed on the palm section of the hand portion midway along a length of the zipper, the first fastening strap configured to lay over the first zipper when attached to the fastener, thereby preventing the first zipper from becoming unzipped. 
     
     
         7 . The hand glove of  claim 6 , wherein the second fastening strap is disposed on the palm section of the hand portion midway along a length of the zipper, the second fastening strap configured to lay over the second zipper when attached to the fastener, thereby preventing the second zipper from becoming unzipped. 
     
     
         8 . The hand glove of  claim 7 , wherein the fastener comprises a strip of fastening material extending laterally across the dorsal section from the first zipper to the second zipper. 
     
     
         9 . The hand glove of  claim 8 , wherein the first zipper opens from the peripheral edge to the first sheath enlarging the opening on the lower end of the hand portion at the radial side. 
     
     
         10 . The hand glove of  claim 9 , wherein the second zipper opens from the peripheral edge to the second sheath enlarging the opening on the lower end of the hand portion at the ulnar side. 
     
     
         11 . The hand glove of  claim 10 , wherein the hand portion includes a first depth at the radial side and a second depth at the ulnar side, the second depth larger than the first depth. 
     
     
         12 . The hand glove of  claim 11 , wherein the palm section includes a wrinkled section extending from the first zipper to the second zipper, the wrinkled section opposite the fastener enabling scrunching of the palm section when the first fastening strap and the second fastening strap are attached to the fastener. 
     
     
         13 . The hand glove of  claim 12 , wherein the first fastening strap, the second fastening strap, the fastener, and the wrinkled section are coplanar and aligned. 
     
     
         14 . The hand glove of  claim 13 , wherein the first fastening strap and the second fastening strap comprise a hook and loop fastening material and the fastener comprises a corresponding hook and loop fastening material to enable attachment and disengagement. 
     
     
         15 . The hand glove of  claim 14 , wherein the first fastening strap and the second fastening strap include substantially the same length and width. 
     
     
         16 . The hand glove of  claim 15 , wherein the first fastening strap, the second fastening strap, and the fastener include substantially the same width. 
     
     
         17 . A hand glove, comprising:
 a glove body including a dorsal side, a palmar side, the dorsal side opposite the palmar side, a radial side, an ulnar side, the radial side opposite the ulnar side, a hand portion defining an interior cavity configured to receive and cover the hand of a wearer, the hand portion including a palm section on the palmar side, a dorsal section on the dorsal side, an upper end including a plurality of digit sheaths protruding outwardly therefrom, and a lower end including a peripheral edge defining an opening for providing access to the interior cavity of the glove body, the hand portion extending from the radial side to the ulnar side, the plurality of digit sheaths including at least a first sheath corresponding to the first digit of a wearer's hand and second sheath corresponding to one or more of the other digits of a wearer's hand, the radial side including a first zipper, the ulnar side including a second zipper, the first zipper parallel with and opposite to the second zipper.   
     
     
         18 . The hand glove of  claim 15 , wherein:
 the first zipper and second zipper are coplanar defining a hypothetical plane that divides the glove body in half along a coronal plane of the glove body, thereby separating and defining the dorsal section and the palm section; and   wherein the first zipper extends longitudinally along the radial side from the peripheral edge of the hand portion to the first sheath and the second zipper extends longitudinally along the ulnar side from the peripheral edge of the hand portion to the second sheath.   
     
     
         19 . The hand glove of  claim 18 , wherein the first zipper includes a length smaller than a length of the second zipper.
