Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a glove, comprising the steps of: cutting a back side panel with four finger portions from a fibrous material, cutting a palm side panel with four finger portions from a fibrous material, stitching the two panels together along their respective perimeters such that a hand opening is formed at one end to form a liner and a seam is formed around the panels including at the four finger portions, mounting the liner on a hand mold such that the palm side and back panels are stretched and the finger seams are shifted to a back side of the mold, dipping the mold into a rubber or resin coating material such that the seams of the liner are fixed in position, with the resulting finger seams at a position on a back of the liner, and the fiber materials of the back side and palm side panels have mutually different tensile elongation percentages or mutually different drying shrinkage percentages, wherein the seams do not interfere with the tactile properties at the wearer's fingertips.
