First Claim
Patent Images
1. A glove comprising:
- a body configured to engage a hand;
a plurality of finger sheaths configured to cover fingers of the hand; and
an electrically conductive ink disposed on at least one of the finger sheaths, wherein the electrically conductive ink penetrates through and extends from an outside surface to an innermost surface of the glove to provide a conductive ground path through a thickness of the glove configured to ground a proximity sensor to a finger of the hand.
