X-RAY PROTECTIVE v GLOVE.

Application led May 17, 1927. Serial No. 191,962.

My invention relates to a new and im` proVedX-ray protective glove.

One of the objects of my invention is to provide an improved glove to be used. for protective purposes by persons operating generators of X-rays or Roentgen rays.

Another object of my invention is to provide a glove Which will be comfortable, and

' which will prevent perspiration from accumulating in the linger portions thereof.

Another object of my invention is to provide a comfortable glove which will adequately protect the hand of the user.

Other objects of my invention will be set forth in the following description and drawings, which illust-rate a preferred embodiment thereof.

F ig. 1 is an elevation, one of the nger portions being shown in detail.

Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view.

Fig. 4 is a sectional view on the line 4 4 of Fig. 1.

Protectivegloves used by persons Working with X-rays havebeen made of rubber com* binedwvith lead. Such gloves are Worn for hours and they have proved very uncomfortable. Since the rubber-lead material was air-tight and moisture-tight, the perspiration accumulated in the finger portions.

According to my invention, the finger por- I tions, While fully protective, are made to permit moisture to escape therefrom, and the lining and an outer covering which is. suitably combined with the lead-rubber glove.

The glove comprises an intermediate layer 13 of the Well-known lead and rubber material, Van inner lining 16, and an outer covering or facing 11. The inner lining 16 may consist of any suitable absorbent fabric and the facing 11 is preferably made of that type of leather whose trade name is chamois. I prefer to use chamois because it is porous and permits air and moisture to pass readily through it.

As shown in Figs. 2 and 4, each of the finger members of the glove comprises two opposite membersil made of the protective lead-rubber material, to which lining members 16 and end members 18 are securend by any suitable means, asy for example, by stitches 17. Hence, each finger member comprises two spaced protective members separated by intermediate inner strips 18 which are also preferably made of chamois. The respective members of the facing 11 are connected by means of stitches 14, and each of the finger members 12 is also provided with outer intermediate strips 18 which are also preferably made ofthe chamois material. In each finger member 12, the protective members, made of the Dlead-rubber material,

are sufficiently Wide to protect the fingers of the operator.

Vhen the hand of the operator perspires,

' the perspiration is absorbed by the intermediate inner members 18 and it can evaporate and pass freely through the intermediate outer members 18.

My improved construction thus provides a Ventilating,n and protective glove which is very comfortable. i

I have described a preferred embodiment of my invention, but it is clear that numerous changes and omissions could be made without departing from my invention.

vI claim 1 i 1. A protective X-'ray glove having a finger member. said finger member ,comprising oppositely disposed and separated portions made of protective material andof suiiicient width to protect the finger of the operator, said portions of protective material being connected by nonprotective porous material.

2. An X-ray glove having a finger member comprising oppositely disposed and separated portions made. of .protective mat/erial having intermediate portions of porous materia-l, and an outer porous facing.

In testimony whereof Iafiix my signature.

' JAMES PICKER.
