The present invention relates generally to the field of gloves and more specifically relates to a Gardening Glove.
A glove is a garment covering the whole hand. Gloves have separate sheaths or openings for each finger and the thumb. Gloves protect and comfort hands against cold or heat, damage by friction, abrasion or chemicals, and disease; or in turn to provide a guard for what a bare hand should not touch.
Gloves appear to be of great antiquity. According to some translations of Homer's The Odyssey, Laertes is described as wearing gloves while walking in his garden so as to avoid the brambles. Herodotus, in The History of Herodotus (440 BC), tells how Leotychides was incriminated by a glove (gauntlet) full of silver that he received as a bribe. There are occasional references to the use of gloves among the Romans as well. Pliny the Younger (c. 100), his uncle's shorthand writer wore gloves in winter so as not to impede the elder Pliny's work.
Early Formula One race cars used steering wheels taken directly from road cars. They were normally made from wood, necessitating the use of driving gloves.
When short sleeves came into fashion in the 1700s, women began to wear long gloves, reaching half-way up the forearm. In modern times, gloves are commonly worn while gardening to prevent dirt from becoming packed beneath the finger nails and to protect the hands from thorns or sharp objects. Grape growers wear gloves during most of the care taking process as well. One inconvenience is that the gloves must be removed in order to cut the vines. A need exists for gloves used for gardening that can protect the hand while at the same time pinch to cut the stems and remove the fruit easily.
Various attempts have been made to solve the problems which may be found in the related art but have thus far been unsuccessful. A need exists for a reliable Gardening Glove to avoid the above-mentioned problems. There still is room for improvement in the art.
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known art, the present invention provides a novel Gardening Glove. The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a comfortable slip on garden glove, comprising a sharp stainless steel edge on the thumb for an effective and easy process of cutting of stems during the gardening process. The features of the invention which are believed to be novel are particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portion of the specification. These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings and detailed description.
The figures which accompany the written portion of this specification illustrate embodiments and method(s) of use for the present invention, Smart Harvest Gardening Glove, constructed and operative according to the teachings of the present invention.
The various embodiments of the present invention will hereinafter be described in conjunction with the appended drawings.
As discussed above, embodiments of the present invention relate to a glove device and more particularly to a Gardening Glove 1.

Accordingly, no further discussion relating to the manner of usage and operation will be provided. With respect to the above description, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
