BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0012] For a more complete understanding of the present disclosure, reference is now made to the following brief description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and detailed description, wherein like reference numerals represent like parts.
FIG. 1 illustrates a metal mesh glove according to an embodiment of the disclosure; and
FIG. 2 illustrates a detailed view of two metal mesh materials according to an embodiment of the disclosure.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0013] It should be understood at the outset that although illustrative implementations of one or more embodiments are illustrated below, the disclosed systems and methods may be implemented using any number of techniques, whether currently known or not yet in existence. The disclosure should in no way be limited to the illustrative implementations, drawings, and techniques illustrated below, but may be modified within the scope of the appended claims along with their full scope of equivalents.
[0015] The term "comprising" means including but not limited to, and should be interpreted in the manner it is typically used in the patent context;
[0016] The phrases "in one embodiment," "according to one embodiment," and the like generally mean that the particular feature, structure, or characteristic following the phrase may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention, and may be included in more than one embodiment of the present invention (importantly, such phrases do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment);
[0017] If the specification describes something as "exemplary" or an "example," it should be understood that refers to a non-exclusive example;
[0018] The terms "about" or approximately" or the like, when used with a number, may mean that specific number, or alternatively, a range in proximity to the specific number, as understood by persons of skill in the art field; and
[0019] If the specification states a component or feature "may," "can," "could," "should," "would," "preferably," "possibly," "typically," "optionally," "for example," "often," or "might" (or other such language) be included or have a characteristic, that particular component or feature is not required to be included or to have the characteristic. Such component or feature may be optionally included in some embodiments, or it may be excluded.
[0020] Embodiments relate generally to a protective mesh garments comprising at least two different types of mesh materials. In some embodiments, the garment may comprise a plurality of mesh materials comprising different ring sizes, which may be determined based on the protection desired on different portions of the garment. In some embodiments, the garment may comprise a glove with a hand portion and an arm portion. In one embodiment, the glove comprises a mesh with smaller rings on the hand portion of the glove and a mesh with larger rings on the arm portion of the glove.
[0021] Referring now to FIG. 1, an exemplary embodiment of a glove 100 is shown, wherein the glove 100 comprises a hand portion 102 and an arm portion 104. The glove 100 may also comprise a wrist strap 106 for securing the glove 100 about the wrist of a user. In some embodiments, the glove 100 may comprise one or more attachment clips 110 for attaching the glove 100 to another garment, such as a suit or apron, at the shoulder of the user. In some embodiments, the glove 100 may comprise a mesh material comprising metal rings connected to form the mesh material. The mesh material may protect a wearer from stabs or cuts. Typically, the clips 110 could be configured to provide a sufficiently strong attachment (to the other garment) so as to effectively support the weight of the metal mesh glove.
[0022] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the glove 100 may comprise at least two different mesh materials. In one embodiment, the glove 100 may comprise a first mesh material 103 that forms the hand portion 102 of the glove 100, and the glove 100 may comprise a second mesh material 105 that forms the arm portion 104 of the glove 100. In some embodiments, the first mesh material 103 may comprise rings with a smaller external diameter than the rings of the second mesh material 105. Therefore, the first mesh material 103 may provide a higher cut protection and a higher protection from puncture or piercing wounds than the second mesh material 105. In many embodiments, the use of smaller rings for the first mesh material may be selected in particular to make an area (of the glove, for example) more puncture resistant. It may be desirable to have a higher cut protection for the hand portion 102 of the glove 100, because a user's hands may be more susceptible to cuts or punctures, (and perhaps particularly puncture wounds,) than for the arm portion 104 of the glove 100. Additionally, using a larger diameter ring for the arm portion 104 may decrease the overall weight of the glove 100 and or improve bendability/flexibility, for example improving the comfort of the user. Thus, such larger rings might be used for parts/areas (of the glove, for example) where puncture wounds are less likely and/or where comfort concerns may have a higher priority.
[0023] In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the two mesh materials 103 and 105 may attach at an attachment line 108, wherein the attachment may be continuous between the rings of the two mesh materials 103 and 105. FIG. 2 illustrates a detailed view of the attachment line 108 between the two mesh materials. As shown in FIG. 2, the attachment line 108 may exist where the rings of the first mesh material 103 (that forms the hand portion 102) attach to the rings of the second mesh material 105 (that forms the arm portion 104). As shown in FIG. 2, the attachment line 108 comprises a continuous attachment between the first mesh material 103 and the second mesh material 105, where there are no gaps, holes, openings, breaks or other possible weak points at the attachment line 108 which may reduce the protection at the attachment line 108. The continuous attachment between the two mesh materials maintains the integrity and protection of the glove 100 (shown in FIG. 1). In some embodiments, the two mesh materials may be attached to one another using methods as would be understood by those skilled in the art.
[0024] In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the attachment line 108 may be located near the wrist of a user. However, in other embodiments, the attachment line 108 may be located at another position on the glove. For example, in an alternative embodiment, the mesh material 103 comprising the smaller rings may be located only on the fingers of the glove. Additionally, the mesh material 103 comprising the smaller rings may be located on other portions of the glove 100 to provided additional protection to that portion of the glove 100 (for example, if multiple attachment/transition lines at different positions on the glove).
[0025] In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the length 120 of the hand portion 102, or Length A 120, may comprise the length of the first mesh material 103. Also, the length 122 of the arm portion 104, or Length B 122, may comprise the length of the second mesh material 105. In some embodiments, Length A120 and Length B 122 may vary depending on the size of the glove 100. As an example, Table 1 below illustrates possible measurements for Length A 120 and Length B 122 based on the size of the glove 100. The measurements are in millimeters (mm).
Table 1
| Size | Length A (mm) | Length B (mm) |
| XXS | 188 | 565 |
| XS | 200 | 610 |
| S | 212 | 610 |
| M | 225 | 750 |
| L | 237 | 750 |
| XL | 250 | 770 |
[0026] In some embodiments, the rings of the first mesh material 103 may comprise an external diameter of approximately 4 mm. In some embodiments, the rings of the first mesh material 103 may comprise a wire diameter of approximately 0.5 mm. This may maintain an internal diameter of less than approximately 4 mm, which complies with standard requirements for mesh material. In this particular embodiment, for example, the internal diameter of the rings of the first mesh material 103 might be approximately 3mm.
[0027] In some embodiments, the rings of the second mesh material 105 may comprise an external diameter of approximately 4.9 mm. In some embodiments, the rings of the second mesh material 105 may comprise a wire diameter of approximately 0.46 mm. This may maintain an internal diameter of less than approximately 4 mm, which adheres to standard requirements for mesh material. In this particular embodiment, for example, the internal diameter of the rings of the second mesh material 105 might be approximately 3.98mm. So, despite the fact that the second mesh material 105 may have rings of larger diameter than the rings of the first mesh material 103, the internal diameter of both the first mesh material 103 and the second mesh material 105 may be less than approximately 4mm (although the difference between internal diameter at small and large rings might vary up to about 1mm (for example, approximately 0.98mm) and perhaps even more in some embodiment).
[0028] To ensure a smooth transition from the first mesh material 103 (with smaller rings) to the second mesh material 105 (with larger rings) in FIG. 2, the larger rings of the second mesh material (105) might each be connected to (eg. intermeshed or interlinked with) three of the smaller rings of the first mesh material 103 (on one side of each such larger ring of the second mesh material 105) along the attachment/transition line 108. On the other side of each such larger ring of the second mesh material 105, two other larger rings of the second mesh material 105 could be connected to (eg. intermeshed or interlinked with) said larger ring. While other embodiments might have a different ratio of small rings (of the first mesh material) interlinked to each larger ring (of the second mesh material 105), the ratio shown in FIG. 2 (of three small rings per each larger ring) often makes for an effective transition. This ratio may be particularly effective when the first mesh material 103 and the second mesh material 105 are sized as described above. The size of the smaller and larger rings, the wire diameter of the smaller and larger rings, and/or the ratio of smaller rings for each larger ring may be selected to ensure a smooth transition at the attachment/transition line 108, for example, without bunching, bending, and/or gaps.
[0029] In some embodiments, using the first mesh material 103 and second mesh material 105 as described above may reduce the weight of the glove 100 by approximately 35% as compared to a glove using only one mesh material (for example, the first mesh material). In some embodiments, the metal mesh materials may comprise stainless steel.
[0030] In some embodiments, the sleeve/arm portion 104 may also have one ore more cut-outs. For example, there may be a cut-out which would correspond to a wearer's underarm area, to improve mobility and/or comfort at an area which may not need protection.
[0031] In some embodiments, similar mesh materials may be used in other metal mesh garments, such as aprons, sleeves, cuffs, chasubles, tunics, etc. It may be useful to have more than one metal mesh material on metal mesh garments, having the smaller metal mesh material located at locations of increased risk for puncture, and having the larger metal mesh material located at location of lower risk for puncture. This may allow for reducing the weight of the metal mesh garment, while maintaining the protection properties of the garment (especially with respect to cuts).
