US Patent 9198474 Saturation, chemical, and impact-resistant protective glove

A protective glove has an inner liner, an intermediate protective layer, and an outer saturation-proof layer. The inner layer defines fingers, a thumb, and a central opening to receive the hand of a user of the glove. The intermediate protective layer includes an impact-resistant material atop at least a portion of the fingers, thumb, and central opening of the inner layer. The saturation-proof layer prevents liquids from passing through the glove. The impact-resistant material is compressible to allow flexing of the fingers of the glove when in use.
