Gloves and method of manufacturing the same

Abstract: In order to obtain a glove, a hand mold is first dipped into a transparent rubber latex composition to form a coat layer. Next, the hand mold is dipped into a fluid including an ink floated and nonuniformly dispersed on the surface of the fluid. Upon dipping, the ink is transferred to the surface of the coat layer, whereby forming a decorative layer. Next, this hand mold is dipped into another rubber latex composition to form a base layer. Next, the coat layer and the base layer are heated. Heating causes a crosslinking reaction of the rubber to yield a glove. The glove is removed from the hand mold. Upon mold removal, the glove 2 is turned inside out, thereby allowing the coat layer to appear on the obverse face. Because the coat layer is transparent, the decorative layer can be observed from outside. The decorative layer provides the glove with a marble pattern. (end of abstract)
