Object and sector of the technique to which the invention relates

The present invention relates to a perforating glove complement that allows the actuation of a capacitive type touch device.

10

The object of the invention is a complement that is inserted inside and outside the fingers of a glove; for gloves preferably of wool or textile material that have interstices in the fabric, although it is also suitable for use in sanitary latex gloves or similar for single use.

fifteen

Being applied in gloves in the manufacturing phase or already manufactured both new and used.

The invention is located in the technical sector of industrial engineering and, more specifically, in the field of textile manufacturing.

General and closest prior state of the art

The glove is a garment whose purpose is to wrap your hands or protect them from bumps,

2 5 cuts, abrasions, infections, high temperatures, etc. Many activities, both in

medicine as in industry, require the mandatory use of gloves; among them: surgical gloves and healthcare professionals, their materials are: latex, nitrile and vinyl, for welders, for firefighters. Many times it is not only used to protect the hand, but it is also used to protect the product (memories,

3 0 screens, glasses, food, etc.). It is included as Protection Equipment

Individual (EPI), according to the definition of Royal Decree 1407/1992, of November 20, which regulates the conditions for the commercialization and free intra-community circulation of personal protection equipment. BOE no. 311, of December 28, protecting the part of the body that suffers the most injuries as it is

3 5 the hand.

The touch screens (touchscreen) currently used in smart mobile phones or touch panels (touchpad) of laptops are "capacitive", because the image quality is better, they have

4 0 better response and some allow the use of several fingers at the same time (multitouch). Without

However, they are more expensive and cannot be used with a normal pointer, but with a special one for capacitive screens. Based on capacitive sensors, they consist of a layer of electrical insulation, such as glass, coated with a transparent conductor, such as tin-doped indium oxide (ITO). As the human body is not insulating, but is an electrical conductor, touching the surface of the screen results in a distortion of the electrostatic field of the screen, which is measured by the

capacitance change (electrical capacity). Different technologies can be used to determine where the touch was made on the screen; The position is sent to the controller for processing.

5 The unexpected side effect of capacitive screens of having to remove gloves to use any function of the phone has become a problem.

Different types of solutions to said technical problem are known in the state of the art.
