<p>A protective glove for use by persons engaged in various operations in meat packing or processing plants such as an operator who uses a knife during various meat cutting procedures in which one hand usually holds the knife and manipulates it adjacent the other hand or other portions of the body which frequently results in accidental injury. The glove is constructed from a flexible fiber and a small wire fiber combined in a conventional manner of constructing gloves with the non-metallic fiber preferably being an aramid fiber having unique properties advantageously employed in such articles of manufacture with the fiber being manufactured by the Dupont Company of Wilmington, Delaware, under the trademark "Kevlar". The metallic wire fiber or strands are flexible, quite strong and materially strengthens the glove and renders it more durable and aids in preventing penetration of the glove by a knife blade or the like. The glove is of lightweight construction and may be provided with various wrist lengths and without straps or buckles thereby eliminating failure of such items and the tendency of such items to catch on various machines and the like.</p> |
