William Niebuhr of Fielden Minnesota has invented an armored mitten to prevent hand and arm injuries from corn husker and rolling machine rollers. The mitten uses a normal body with metal shells on the tip and thumb, the thumb having serrations to deter fingers from reaching the rollers.
A peculiar shaped cape on the mitten allows clearance for the bent thumb joint. The flexible mitten body lets the wearer manipulate stalks or material fed to a husking or chopping machine with dexterity. Metal fingertips prevent accidents, and a glove modification is anticipated though a mitten is preferred.
