发明名称 Glove construction and kit for carrying outfitted electronic devices
摘要 A glove construction and/or kit may be used to outfit an electronic device so that the user thereof may more easily carry or transport the device. The glove construction comprises a flexible, load-bearing, strap-like material member having a glove length and a glove width. A series of finger-receiving sleeves extend widthwise intermediate the glove length. The ends of the material member are outfitted with a first set of fasteners matable with a second set of fasteners outfitted upon the electronic device. The first and second sets of fasteners are matable and together form a fastener interface for removably attaching the glove construction to the electronic device. The glove construction and the fastener interface are supportable of the device weight, and thus enable the user to manually carry the electronic device via the glove construction by inserting a series of fingers into the finger-receiving sleeves and lifting the combination therewith.

主权项 1. A device-glove combination for enabling a user to carry an electronic device via a glove construction, the device-glove combination comprising: an electronic device, the electronic device comprising a glove-attachable surface and having a device weight; an integrally formed glove construction, the integrally formed glove construction being constructed from a flexible, load-bearing material and having a glove length dimension and a glove width dimension, the glove length dimension extending intermediate opposed glove ends, the integrally formed glove construction comprising a first, a second, and a third finger-receiving sleeve and opposed, substantially planar material end portions, the first, second, and third finger-receiving sleeves being centrally located intermediate the material end portions and extending widthwise intermediate the glove length dimension, the first, second, and third finger-receiving sleeves each having an upper sleeve portion, a lower sleeve portion, a sleeve plane extending in the glove length and glove width dimensions, and a sleeve axis, the upper and lower sleeve portions each being parabolic in transverse cross-section such that inner sleeve surfacing of each respective opposing upper and lower sleeve portion opposite the sleeve plane is concave and symmetrical about the sleeve plane, the first sleeve being joined to the second sleeve at a first sleeve-to-sleeve junction and the third sleeve being joined to the second sleeve at a second sleeve-to-sleeve junction, the first and second sleeve-to-sleeve junctions each comprising an adjustable upper exterior angle and an adjustable lower exterior angle, the upper exterior angles being equal to the lower exterior angles when the material end portions are coplanar with the sleeve planes in a first, fingerless position, the upper exterior angles being greater than the lower exterior angles when in a device-support position, the sleeve axes being non-parallel for ergonomically receiving and positioning a user's spread index, middle, and ring fingers, the opposed material end portions extending from the first and third finger-receiving sleeves and each comprising an end portion length, the end portion lengths being greater than the glove width for providing an upper glove contact surface for a user's thumb and small finger in lateral adjacency to the user's index and ring fingers as received in the integrally formed glove construction; first fastening means being spaced and attached to the glove-attachable surface; and second fastening means attached to the opposed glove ends, the first and second fastening means being matable and together forming a fastener interface for removably attaching the integrally formed glove construction to the electronic device, the integrally formed glove construction and the fastener interface being supportable of the device weight, the device-glove combination thus for enabling the user to manually carry the electronic device via the integrally formed glove construction by inserting a series of fingers into the first, second, and third finger-receiving sleeves and pressing a thumb and small finger against the upper glove contact surface at the material end portions and lifting the device-glove combination therewith.
