Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2018-015840

By the way, the outer diameter of the cylindrical body varies widely depending on the type of glove box. For this reason, gloves are also available in various sizes depending on the type of cylindrical body, but there are some sizes that are widely available on the market and some that are not.

Generally, gloves in sizes that are widely available on the market are manufactured in larger quantities and are therefore relatively easy to obtain, whereas gloves in sizes that are less common are often difficult to obtain as they are manufactured in smaller quantities.

The present invention was made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a glove adapter that allows gloves of a different size to be attached to an armhole, when attaching gloves to that armhole.

One aspect of the glove adapter according to the present invention comprises an attachment part that is attached to the armhole of a glove box, and a glove donning part that is provided on the attachment part and onto which gloves are donned by placing the gloves over the outer periphery, and the periphery of the glove donning part has a different periphery length than the armhole.

The glove adapter of the above aspect of the present invention has the advantage that it can accommodate gloves of a different size than the gloves designed specifically for that armhole.

<Embodiment>
The glove adapter 3 according to this embodiment is attached to, for example, a glove box 10 having an armhole 2 as shown in Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 2, the glove adapter 3 includes an attachment part 4 attached to the armhole 2 and a glove donning part 5 onto which gloves 7 are donned. The circumferential length of the outer periphery of the glove donning part 5 is different from the circumferential length of the armhole 2, and in this embodiment, is longer than the circumferential length of the armhole 2.

By using the glove adapter 3 according to this embodiment, it becomes possible to attach gloves 7 of a size different from the size of the armhole 2 of the glove box 10 to the glove box 10. As a result, even if gloves 7 of a size that fits an existing glove box 10 are difficult to obtain, it is possible to wear gloves 7 of a more readily available size.

The glove adapter 3 of this embodiment will be described below based on the state in which it is attached to the armhole 2 of the glove box 10. The direction from the glove box 10 toward the worker and along a horizontal plane is defined as the "forward direction," the opposite direction as the "rear direction," and the two directions parallel to the forward and rearward directions are collectively defined as the "front-to-rear direction." Additionally, the direction perpendicular to the front-to-rear direction and along a horizontal plane is defined as the "left-to-right direction."

In this specification, "parallel" not only refers to cases where two lines, sides, surfaces, etc. do not intersect even when extended, but also refers to cases where the angle between the two lines, sides, surfaces, etc. is within a range of 10°. Furthermore, "perpendicular" refers to cases where the angle between the two lines, sides, surfaces, etc. is within a range of 90°±10°, and also refers to cases where the two lines, etc. do not intersect directly but would intersect if extended.

(Glove box 10)
The glove box 10 is a sealed container configured to allow work to be done wearing gloves 7 in a container that is isolated from the outside air. The glove box 10 may be either a vacuum type or a gas replacement (purge) type, but in this embodiment, a vacuum type glove box 10 will be described as an example. As shown in FIG. 1 , the glove box 10 includes a box body 1, a plurality of armholes 2 provided in the box body 1, a glove adapter 3, gloves 7 ( FIG. 2 ), and a plurality of outer lids 8 that close the plurality of armholes 2.

(Box body 1)
The box body 1 is an airtight container having an internal working space, and the working space is partitioned in an airtight manner. The shape of the box body 1 is not particularly limited as long as it has an internal working space, and examples thereof include a rectangular parallelepiped, a cube, a trapezoid in side view, and a cylinder. The material of the box body 1 is also not particularly limited, and examples thereof include stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, glass, synthetic resin, etc., or combinations thereof.

A side box 11 is preferably provided on the box body 1. The side box 11 is connected to the inside of the box body 1 and can supply materials to be processed, containers, and other objects to the work space. The side box 11 preferably has a sliding table. The outer left and right ends of the side box 11 are closed by hatch doors that can be opened and closed.

(Armhole 2)
The armholes 2 penetrate the box body 1 from the inside to the outside. Gloves 7 can be attached to the armholes 2, and a worker wearing the gloves 7 can insert his or her hands into the work space of the box body 1 through the armholes 2. The armholes 2 are provided on the front surface of the box body 1 (the front panel in this embodiment) and lead to the interior of the box body 1.

The armhole 2 is formed in a generally cylindrical shape with openings on both end faces in the direction along the central axis (hereinafter referred to as the central axis direction). The central axis direction of the armhole 2 may be along the horizontal plane, but is preferably inclined relative to the horizontal plane so that it progresses upward as it moves forward. The central axes of the multiple armholes 2 are aligned in the left-right direction and generally parallel to each other. There are no particular restrictions on the material of the armhole 2, but examples include stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, glass, and synthetic resin.

The glove box 10 may have multiple armholes 2 per box body 1, or may have only one armhole 2. In this embodiment, two armholes 2 are provided, but three or more armholes 2 may also be provided.

As shown in FIG. 2 , each armhole 2 comprises a cylinder 21 and a covering material 22 attached to the tip of the cylinder 21. The cylinder 21 is the cylindrical portion of the armhole 2, and its base end 71 is attached to the box body 1. The cylinder 21 protrudes from the outer surface (front surface) of the box body 1. Gloves 7 can be attached to the cylinder 21 by fitting over the outer peripheral surface. The outer peripheral surface of the cylinder 21 is formed with multiple mounting grooves 211 spaced apart along the central axial direction of the cylinder 21. A ring-shaped gasket 23 is disposed in each mounting groove 211. Examples of the gasket 23 include an O-ring and an X-ring. The outer peripheral surface of the gasket 23 protrudes from the outer peripheral surface of the armhole 2 (excluding the mounting grooves 211).

A covering material 22 is attached to the tip of the cylindrical body 21. The covering material 22 is formed in a ring shape and prevents the edge at the tip of the armhole 2 from scratching or puncturing the glove 7. The covering material 22 is attached so as to cover the tip of the cylindrical body 21.

The material of the covering material 22 is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to use an elastic body such as elastomer, soft synthetic resin, chloroprene rubber, acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), butyl rubber, or Viton (registered trademark). As long as it has a smooth outer shape that does not damage the glove 7, it does not have to be elastic; for example, hard synthetic resin, cloth, pulp, or metal may also be used. The covering material 22 in this embodiment is made of chloroprene rubber.

The covering material 22 is preferably attached to the cylindrical body 21 without using adhesive. The covering material 22 in this embodiment is formed with a generally U-shaped cross section. The covering material 22 is attached to the cylindrical body 21 by fitting.

(Glove adapter 3)
The glove adapter 3 is attached to the armhole 2, and allows gloves 7 of a different size to be worn by the glove adapter 3. In this embodiment, the size of the gloves 7 worn by using the glove adapter 3 is larger than the size of the dedicated gloves 7 worn by the armhole 2. As shown in Fig. 3 , the glove adapter 3 includes an attachment part 4, a glove wearing part 5 provided on the attachment part 4, a covering attachment part 6, and a covering 61 (Fig. 2) attached to the covering attachment part 6.

(Mounting portion 4)
The attachment portion 4 is the part that is attached to the armhole 2. As shown in FIG. 3, the attachment portion 4 has a cylindrical tubular portion 41. When the armhole 2 is fitted inside the tubular portion 41, the inner circumferential surface of the tubular portion 41 faces the outer circumferential surface of the armhole 2, as shown in FIG. 2. The inner circumferential surface of the tubular portion 41 comes into contact with the packing 23 in the attachment groove 211 of the armhole 2, and is in airtight contact with the armhole 2. The rear end of the inner circumferential surface of the tubular portion 41 is preferably tapered so that the inner diameter increases toward the tip. This makes it easier to fit the tubular portion 41 into the armhole 2.

As shown in FIG. 3, the cylindrical body 41 has a plurality of threaded holes 411 formed therethrough in the radial direction. The threaded holes 411 are spaced apart circumferentially around the cylindrical body 41. A screw is screwed into each of the threaded holes 411. The mounting portion 4 is fixed to the armhole 2 by pressing the screw against the armhole 2 from the outside toward the inside. It is preferable that the threaded holes 411 be formed in four locations so that the circumferential angle is 90°. Examples of threaded devices include hex bolts, hex socket bolts, hex socket set screws (also known as set screws), and screws.

The screw holes 411 are preferably formed at positions corresponding to the mounting grooves 211 of the armhole 2. This allows the tip of the screw to fit into the mounting groove 211 when the screw is screwed into the screw hole 411. This makes it difficult for the glove adapter 3 to come off the armhole 2. The screw holes 411 may also be located at positions corresponding to the spaces between adjacent mounting grooves 211.

The attachment portion 4 preferably has a groove 42 into which the tip of the armhole 2 fits. The groove 42 is formed in a concave shape by one surface of a protruding piece 43 provided at the front end of the tubular portion 41 and the inner circumferential surface of the tubular portion 41. The groove 42 is formed around the entire circumferential direction of the tubular portion 41.

The protruding piece 43 includes a vertical piece 431 that protrudes radially inward from the inner surface of the tubular portion 41, and a horizontal piece 432 that protrudes rearward from the tip of the vertical piece 431. The protruding piece 43 is formed with an L-shaped cross section. As shown in FIG. 2 , the vertical piece 431 faces the tip surface of the armhole 2, and the horizontal piece 432 faces the inner surface of the tip of the armhole 2, thereby covering the tip of the armhole 2. In this case, the groove 42 preferably contacts the covering material 22 at the tip of the armhole 2. By fitting the tip of the armhole 2 into the groove 42, it is possible to reduce the intrusion of gases or substances from the box body 1 between the glove adapter 3 and the armhole 2, thereby preventing leakage of gases and other substances from the box body 1.

As shown in Figure 3, the mounting portion 4 preferably has a locking portion 44 that locks the inner lid 9. In this embodiment, the locking portion 44 is a protrusion partially provided on the inner circumferential surface of the protruding piece 43. It is preferable that two protrusions are provided at diagonal positions when viewed in the direction of the central axis. Slits 922 on the side of the inner lid 9, which will be described later, are inserted into the multiple protrusions, allowing the slits 922 to be hooked onto them.

(Glove wearing part 5)
The glove wearing portion 5 is a portion on which the glove 7 is worn. The glove wearing portion 5 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the mounting portion 4. At least a portion of the glove wearing portion 5 protrudes radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the mounting portion 4. The glove wearing portion 5 is preferably integral with the mounting portion 4. Here, "integral" as used in this specification means that the connected portions are integrated into one piece, such as by welding, integral molding, etc. However, the glove wearing portion 5 does not have to be integral with the mounting portion 4, and may be connected by, for example, screwing, fitting, threading, adhesive, etc.

Gloves 7 are worn on the outer peripheral surface of the glove wearing section 5. The maximum perimeter of the outer peripheral surface of the glove wearing section 5 (perimeter of the outer periphery) is preferably longer than the maximum perimeter (periphery) of the outer peripheral surface of the armhole 2. As shown in Figure 4, the outer shape of the glove wearing section 5 is an ellipse with a major axis G2 extending in the up-down direction when viewed in the direction of the central axis. On the other hand, the armhole 2 is circular (perfect circle) when viewed in the direction of the central axis. The maximum distance in the direction of the minor axis G1 of the outer shape of the glove wearing section 5 is greater than the outer diameter of the armhole 2. As a result, the maximum perimeter of the outer peripheral surface of the glove wearing section 5 is set to be longer than the maximum perimeter of the outer peripheral surface of the armhole 2.

If the outer perimeter of the armhole 2 is, for example, 470 mm to 628 mm (diameter 150 mm to 200 mm), the outer perimeter of the glove donning portion 5 can be, for example, 565 mm to 880 mm, or 750 mm to 1150 mm. By setting the outer perimeter of the glove donning portion 5 to 565 mm to 880 mm, gloves for 8-inch gloves can be worn. By setting the outer perimeter of the glove donning portion 5 to 750 mm to 1150 mm, gloves for 10-inch gloves can be worn. This allows gloves 7 that are commonly available, rather than custom-made gloves, to be worn. Note that the outer perimeter of the armhole 2 and the outer perimeter of the glove donning portion 5 are merely examples, and the outer perimeter of the glove donning portion 5 may be set to allow gloves for 12-inch gloves or larger to be worn. The outer perimeter of the armhole 2 and the outer perimeter of the glove donning portion 5 can be designed appropriately as needed.

As used herein, an oval shape has at least a partial arc and a major axis G2 and a minor axis G1. In addition to ellipses, ovals also include shapes formed by two semicircular arcs and two line segments connecting them, as well as rugby ball shapes. However, the shape of the glove wearing section 5 is not limited to an oval, as long as the maximum perimeter of the outer surface of the glove wearing section 5 is longer than the maximum perimeter of the outer surface of the armhole 2. For example, the outer surface of the glove wearing section 5 may be formed into a circle with a diameter greater than the outer surface of the armhole 2.

The shape of the glove donning part 5 when viewed in the direction of the central axis is preferably a shape in which straight lines and curves are smoothly connected, and preferably has no corners. Corners include both obtuse and acute angles, but do not include rounded corners with R-chamfering. Furthermore, the shape of the glove donning part 5 when viewed in the direction of the central axis may be composed only of curves.

As shown in Figure 3, multiple glove attachment grooves 51 are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the glove donning part 5. The multiple glove attachment grooves 51 are formed at intervals in the central axis direction. As shown in Figure 2, a ring-shaped gasket 62 is fitted into the glove attachment groove 51 from the outside of the opening side end (base end 71) of the glove 7. In this way, the base end 71 of the glove 7 is donned into the glove donning part 5.

(Covering material attachment portion 6)
The covering attachment portion 6 is a portion to which the covering 61 is attached. As shown in FIG. 2 , the covering attachment portion 6 is located on an extension of the armhole 2. In this embodiment, the covering attachment portion 6 protrudes forward from the vertical piece 431. As can be seen from FIG. 3 , the covering attachment portion 6 is formed in an annular shape when viewed in the direction of the central axis, and is formed concentrically with the armhole 2. It is preferable that the covering attachment portion 6 is integral with the attachment portion 4 (vertical piece 431).

(Coating material 61)
The covering material 61 is attached to the covering material attachment part 6. The covering material 61 is formed in substantially the same shape as the covering material 22 attached to the tip of the armhole 2. The covering material 61 is attached to the covering material attachment part 6 by fitting. It is preferable that no adhesive is used to attach the covering material 61 to the covering material attachment part 6. The material of the covering material 61 can be the same as the material of the covering material 22 of the armhole 2.

(Gloves 7)
The gloves 7 are attached to the glove adapter 3 so as to close the armholes 2 and maintain the airtightness of the box body 1. When in use, the gloves 7 are inserted into the box body 1 through the armholes 2, and when not in use, they can be taken out from the armholes 2. The gloves 7 are attached to the glove wearing section 5.

As shown in Figure 2, the glove 7 is attached to the glove donning part 5 by passing the glove donning part 5 over the base end 71 of the glove 7, aligning the base end 71 of the glove 7 with the glove attachment groove 51, and then fitting a ring-shaped packing 62 into the glove attachment groove 51 from the outside of the glove 7. This brings the outer surface of the glove donning part 5 into close contact with the glove 7, and attaches the base end 71 of the glove 7 to the glove donning part 5 in an airtight manner.

The material for the glove 7 is not particularly limited, but examples include Viton (registered trademark), butyl, Neoprene (registered trademark), chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSM), natural rubber, acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), silicone, chloroprene, polyurethane, etc. Among these, acrylonitrile butadiene rubber is preferred from the standpoint of chemical resistance and oil resistance, and butyl rubber is preferred from the standpoint of gas permeability resistance. In this embodiment, butyl rubber is used.

(Inner lid 9)
The glove box 10 preferably includes an inner lid 9. The inner lid 9 is a lid that closes the armhole 2 from the inside when changing gloves 7. The inner lid 9 is usually disposed inside the main box. As shown in FIG. 2 , the inner lid 9 includes a lid body 92, a flange 91 provided on the outer periphery of the lid body 92, and a handle 93 attached to the lid body 92. As shown in FIG. 2 , the outer diameter of the lid body 92 is smaller than the inner diameter of the protruding piece 43, and the lid body 92 is fitted inside the protruding piece 43. When the inner lid 9 closes the armhole 2, the flange 91 faces the rear end surface of the horizontal piece 432 of the protruding piece 43.

As shown in FIG. 5, a circumferentially extending slit 922 and an insertion hole 921 are formed in the peripheral wall of the lid body 92. The insertion hole 921 is open to the front of the lid body 92, radially outward, and to the slit 922. When the inner lid 9 is inserted from the rear to the front of the armhole 2, as shown in FIG. 5(A), the locking portion 44 of the glove adapter 3 is inserted from the front into the insertion hole 921, and the locking portion 44 enters the slit 922. From this state, when the inner lid 9 is rotated around the central axis as shown in FIG. 5(B), the locking portion 44 enters the slit 922, securing the inner lid 9 to the glove adapter 3.

(Outer lid 8)
The outer lid 8 can close the armhole 2 with the glove 7 from the base end 71 to the tip inserted into the armhole 2. As shown in Fig. 6 , the outer lid 8 includes a disk-shaped lid main body 82, a base arm 81 connected to the box main body 1, a rotation shaft 84 rotatably supported by the base arm 81, and a handle 83 attached to the rotation shaft 84.

The base arm 81 comprises a support portion 811 fixed to the box body 1, and a rotating arm 812 rotatably connected to the support portion 811. The rotation axis of the rotating arm 812 is located at the end of the rotating arm 812 and is parallel to the vertical direction. A threaded portion 813 is formed in approximately the center of the rotating arm 812 in the left-right direction. The end of the rotating arm 812 opposite the rotating arm 812 in the longitudinal direction is removably fixed to a claw portion 85 fixed to the box body 1.

A male thread is formed on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 84, and the rotating shaft 84 screws into the threaded portion 813 of the rotating arm 812. A handle 83 is fixed to the front longitudinal end of the rotating shaft 84, and the lid body 82 is rotatably connected to the rear end. When the handle 83 is rotated around the rotating shaft 84, the lid body 82 moves rearward or forward in accordance with the rotation of the rotating shaft 84. This allows the lid body 82 to be pressed against the covering material 61 of the glove donning part 5 to close the armhole 2, or moved away from the covering material 61 to open the armhole 2.

The handle 83 is preferably rod-shaped. The rod-shaped handle 83 extends parallel to the radial direction of the armhole 2. The radial end of the handle 83 is preferably approximately the same size as or smaller than the outer edge of the lid body 82 when viewed in the central axis direction. This ensures that the lower end of the glove donning section 5 of the glove adapter 3 is positioned lower than the lowest end of the handle 83. Therefore, for example, when a worker stands up with their back to the handle 83, the worker's back is likely to come into contact with the glove donning section 5 before the handle 83. This prevents the worker's back from colliding with the handle 83. Here, the "lowest end of the handle 83" refers to the lowest end of the movement trajectory of the handle 83.

The handle 83 is not limited to being rod-shaped, and may be, for example, disk-shaped, hexagonal-shaped, star-shaped, etc. Examples of materials for the handle 83 include metal, synthetic resin, etc.

<Effects>
As described above, in the glove adapter 3 according to this embodiment, the circumferential length of the outer periphery of the glove wearing section 5 is different from the circumferential length of the armhole 2, and therefore, gloves 7 of a size different from gloves 7 specifically designed for the armhole 2 can be attached to the armhole 2. As a result, even if gloves 7 of a size that fits in an existing glove box 10 are difficult to obtain, gloves 7 of a more readily available size can be worn.

In addition, because the perimeter of the outer periphery of the glove wearing section 5 is longer than the perimeter of the armhole 2, gloves 7 that are larger than the size of the armhole 2 of the glove box 10 can be attached to the glove box 10.

In addition, the glove adapter 3 has an oval-shaped glove wearing section 5 with its longitudinal direction extending vertically when viewed in the direction of the central axis of the armhole 2, which makes it less likely for gaps to form between the glove 7 and the glove, allowing for a longer circumferential length.

Furthermore, when the attachment part 4 is attached to the armhole 2, the lower end of the glove donning part 5 is positioned lower than the lowest end of the handle 83 on the outer lid 8 of the glove box 10. Therefore, when a worker stands up with their back to the handle 83, they will hit the glove donning part 5 before the handle 83, reducing the risk of them hitting the handle 83.

In addition, the attachment portion 4 of the glove adapter 3 has a cylindrical portion 41 that faces the outer peripheral surface of the armhole 2 and multiple screw holes 411 formed in the cylindrical portion 41 at intervals in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical portion 41, allowing the worker to easily attach the glove adapter 3 to the armhole 2.

In addition, the attachment portion 4 has a groove 42 into which the tip of the armhole 2 fits, reducing the risk of gases or substances from inside the glove box 10 entering between the armhole 2 and the glove adapter 3.

<Modification>
The above-described embodiment is merely one of various embodiments of the present invention. The embodiment can be modified in various ways depending on the design, etc., as long as the object of the present invention can be achieved. Modifications of the embodiment will be described below. The modifications described below can be applied in appropriate combinations.

In the above embodiment, the perimeter of the outer periphery of the glove wearing section 5 is longer than the perimeter of the armhole 2, but it may also be shorter than the perimeter of the armhole 2. In this case, the gloves 7 worn on the glove adapter 3 can be smaller in size than the dedicated gloves 7 worn in the armhole 2.

The glove box 10 may also be referred to as, for example, an isolator, enclosure, dry box, sterile chamber, iron cell, etc. In this specification, the term "glove box 10" refers to a general term for an airtight container configured to allow work to be performed inside a container isolated from the outside air.

In the glove wearing section 5 according to the above embodiment, the gloves 7 are attached without using adhesive, but the gloves 7 may also be attached using adhesive or other joining means.

The glove adapter 3 may be attached to the armhole 2 so that the outer peripheral surface of the attachment portion 4 faces the inner peripheral surface of the armhole 2. Alternatively, an annular groove may be provided on the rear end surface of the attachment portion 4, and the armhole 2 may be inserted into this groove.

The material of the glove adapter 3 is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, synthetic resin, metal, carbon, pulp, FRP, rubber, wood, glass, etc. Synthetic resins may include hard resins, thermoplastic resins, thermosetting resins, etc.

In the above embodiment, the inner lid 9 is formed with an insertion hole 921 and a slit 922, and the protrusions serving as the locking portions 44 are locked into the insertion hole 921 and the slit 922. However, for example, the glove adapter 3 may be formed with an insertion hole and a slit as the locking portion 44. In this case, the inner lid 9 may be formed with a protrusion. "Locked" here means hooked so as to prevent movement of the inner lid 9 along the central axis of the armhole.
