A pair of long-sleeved gloves designed particularly to hold an infant during a bath; the gloves being made of a terry cloth material so as to provide increased frictional grasp, each glove being of a length so as to extend above the elbow and on to the forearm, and a VELCRO band around the glove end for binding the glove securely around the arm.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
It is well known to most mothers tending a small infant or toddler, that 
the very smooth skin of the very young child is slippery when wet in a 
bath, so that it is difficult to hold the child from slipping and sliding 
from the mother's grasp. This lack of security while bathing the infant 
can be a most frightening aspect of motherhood, with fear of the infant 
sliding underwater or being dropped, so that this situation is accordingly 
in need of an improvement. 
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
Therefore it is a principal object of the present invention to provide a 
pair of gloves for aiding the mother while bathing the infant, the gloves 
being made of a terry cloth material so as to have a frictional resistance 
against slippage. 
Another object is to provide terry grippers which are soft and comfortable 
enough so as to contact an infant skin, while offering the security of a 
firm grasp. 
Further objects of the invention will appear as the description proceeds. 
To the accomplishment of the above and related objects, this invention may 
be embodied in the form illustrated in the accompanying drawings, 
attention being called to the fact, however, that the drawings are 
illustrative only, and that changes may be made in the specific 
construction illustrated and described within the scope of the appended 
claims.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
Referring now to the drawing in greater detail, the reference numeral 10 
represents terry grippers according to the present invention, wherein the 
same comprises a pair of long-sleeved gloves 11, each of which is worn on 
one hand and covers the lower arm and extends past the elbow and on the 
upper arm where it is secured. 
The glove is sewn with fingers 12 into which the fingers and thumb of a 
wearer's hand are inserted. 
The glove is made entirely of a terry cloth material, such as is used in 
towelling. It may be made of two flat panels 13 that are sewn together 
with stitch 14 along their edges. 
The end of the glove having entry opening 15, into which the hand is 
inserted, is scalloped by being made with a toothed edge of loop pile 
fastener mating material that surrounds the upper arm with the teeth 16 
thereof extending upwardly. 
The present invention includes a separate band 17 which on one side is 
provided with mating loop pile fastener material 18 that is hooked on the 
ends of its filaments in a conventional loop pile fastener design. The 
band keeps the end of the glove from falling, by being wrapped around the 
toothed edge, as shown in FIG. 3, so to bind the edge firmly around the 
upper arm. 
In use, the terry grippers provide friction for holding the infant so that 
the smooth, slippery skin thereof may be securely grasped. 
While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and 
described and are pointed out in the annexed claims, it will be understood 
that various omissions, substitutions and changes in the forms and details 
of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those 
skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention.
