Antivibration gloves

Gloves. There have been attempts to apply the principle of vibration isolation to gloves, and so called antivibration gloves are commercially available. However, none has yet demonstrated a capability to reduce vibration at the frequencies most commonly responsible for HAVS, namely... 

Spacer fabrics are composed of numerous spacer yams. Each spacer yam functions as an Euler s rod, which can be engineered to mitigate vibration to suit different applications (Virgin and Davis, 2003). Eigure 6.32 shows the transmissibility of three warp-knitted spacer fabrics A, B and C with a thickness of 13.31,15.14 and 19.46 mm, respectively (Liu and Hu, 2011b). The results indicate that such fabrics are very suitable for vibration isolation. The fabrics can be used to produce antivibration gloves, wheel chair cushions and so on.
