Patent ID: 7865969

Claim:
A vibration damping device for use in a work glove comprising a planar, hand-shaped body formed of two layers of film, said body including a top surface, a bottom surface, a palm area, finger areas extending forwardly from one end of the palm area, and a thumb area contiguous with one side of the palm area; a plurality of discrete, spaced apart, resilient, vibration damping projections extending outwardly from both top and bottom surfaces of said body; a first flat, planar, projection-free web extending completely across the body between said palm area and said finger areas, said first web extending into said palm and finger areas; and second planar, projection-free webs extending completely across each thumb and finger area, the two layers of film in the areas of said first and second webs being sealed together, the first and second webs having parallel top and bottom surfaces, and each of the webs having a length which is greater than the spacing between adjacent projections in the palm, finger and thumb areas, whereby the webs define flexible joints between said palm and finger areas and in said thumb and finger areas.
