Is a gloves touchscreen patented?
Short answer: specific designs of a gloves touchscreen have been patented many times, but "a gloves touchscreen" as a general idea is not what is protected. What matters is the exact combination of features in your version.

What this means for your idea
Because patents cover specific combinations of features, the useful question is not “has a gloves touchscreen been patented?” but “has my combination of features been described before?” Accessories and apparel are often protected by design patents as much as utility patents; how something fastens, adjusts or is shaped is usually the difference.
