JP7278570B2 - Work gloves that can be put on and taken off with one hand - Google Patents

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to putting on and taking off work gloves, and more particularly to a work glove that is three-dimensionally formed so that the inner surface of the glove does not come into close contact with the bare hand.

Work gloves have a variety of roles, whether for business or home use, but they also have the function of avoiding injuries such as bruises and cuts and protecting the bare hands from direct contact with dirt, odorous substances, oils and fats, and dangerous substances. However, at present, the role of this protective function cannot be fully fulfilled.

As is clear from consideration of the actual work, there is always an act of putting on and taking off the glove before and after the work, and the assistance of the other bare hand is indispensable for putting on and taking off the glove.

First of all, when inserting the hand into the glove, one bare hand is required to hold the area around the opening. It was difficult to completely protect the surface of the glove that was in direct contact with the bare hand.

In order to solve this problem, there is a conventional technique that uses a hook-and-loop fastener, etc., and aims to handle a dangerous object that covers even the elbow of a glove (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This is equipped with hook-and-loop fasteners from the back of the hand to the elbow. It is a working glove that allows the glove to be put on and taken off.

JP-A-8-226005

Work gloves are used for the purpose of protecting the hands, depending on the work environment, work content, and work object. For example, from familiar things such as refueling kerosene to heaters at home, cleaning toilets, cleaning pet toilets, etc., if it is work related, sewage related, human waste collection business, car maintenance factory and fishing port handling oils and fats It is used for all kinds of work, including the work of handling seafood.

However, as described above, the other bare hand must always be used for assistance when putting on and taking off, so it is difficult to completely protect the hand when refueling with kerosene at home.

For the purpose of protecting the hands, the work gloves used to handle these various items use hook-and-loop fasteners, magnets, etc. when putting on and taking off the gloves. There is a conventional technology that enables attachment and detachment of the . However, this technique presents challenges due to the basic shape of the work glove.

Work gloves, although there are exceptions such as cotton gloves and thin rubber gloves, are three-dimensionally molded in an arc from the back of the hand to the fingertips in consideration of the natural shape of the human hand. This shape is matched to the natural shape of the human hand, including the tightening of the wrist part for the purpose of preventing falling off, and is the basic shape of work gloves from the viewpoint of fit and workability. However, the attaching/detaching method according to the prior art does not take into consideration the friction and resistance generated by the basic shape of the work glove, and thus has a problem in its effectiveness.

General work gloves are ready-made products that have been three-dimensionally molded by mass production, and are mainly available in sizes such as S, M, L, and LL. If the selected user changes the size to M or L, attachment and detachment by the conventional technology becomes possible regardless of the shape or narrowing of the wrist portion. However, when the actual user selects the size, workability is generally emphasized, and since priority is given to the fit to the hand, etc., it is fundamental to select a size that interferes with the work itself. not in

In addition, the user basically selects gloves of a size that fits their own hands, but the shape of the hand depends on the person, such as the length and thickness of the fingers, the width and thickness of the palm, and the thickness of the wrist and arm. Because there are so many variations, choose the size by compromising among the limited options such as S, M, L, and LL, which are ready-made products. This limited choice causes individual and various friction and resistance to be generated by the user's bare hands when attaching and detaching.

Here, the assistance of the other hand at the time of putting on and taking off a general glove will be described. First, when wearing the gloves, by pinching the palm side of the glove opening, the fixing function is achieved and the wearing is enabled. Next, when the glove is pulled out, the fingertips of the glove are pinched to perform the fixing function, and furthermore, by forcibly applying an action to the shape that draws an arc toward the palm side of the glove by fixing the finger parts, the hand can be pulled out. make it possible.

Therefore, the problem is the fixing function from the glove opening (elbow) to the back of the glove according to the conventional technology. It plays a certain role in the fixing function when worn, but in terms of pulling out, the fixing function up to the back of the glove does the fixing function when pinching the fingertips and the role of forcibly applying an action to the shape of the glove. I didn't.

This is because the wrist is the main source of resistance when the glove is put on, but friction and resistance are generated not only on the wrist but also on the palm side of the glove, including the fingers, when the glove is pulled off.

This fixation action of pinching the fingertips not only has the fixing function, but also has the function of reducing the friction and resistance generated on the palm side by making the palm side shape as straight as possible from the glove wrist to the fingertips, including the fingers. there is

In other words, the conventional technology attaches and detaches the glove by fixing the glove opening (elbow) to the back of the glove. In the prior art, there was a problem in attaching and detaching the fingertips because the fingertips were not provided with a function to pinch and fix the fingertips by hand.

In addition, regarding the provision of magnets, the function of fixing only the back side of the glove, which is the prior art, does not matter even if the magnet is provided on the palm side of the glove, depending on the work content and work environment. Depending on the work content and work environment, the method may make it difficult to ensure the safety of the user or force unnecessary actions.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-described problems related to attachment and detachment of the prior art.

In addition, with regard to the conventional technology, equipment such as magnets that have a function to secure work gloves does not take into account the manufacturing cost and the sorting process when the gloves are used and discarded, and there is also the issue of environmental problems that have become a hot topic in recent years. there were.
