There have been a lot of Bicycle Hand-Signal gloves recently

Unfortunately, before there were bicyclists who wanted to signal their traffic intentions, there were motorists who wanted to do the same, and the turn signal hadn't been invented yet.

US Patent 1496484,  "Hand signal for motor vehicles", which is actually pretty cool - you touch your fingers together (at b) to complete the circuit and turn on on the signal.
