Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to gloves.

Background Art

[0002] In severe natural environments such as in winter mountains, the loss of gloves due to strong winds and the like causes a serious problem related to life. Therefore, in order to prevent the loss of gloves, measures such as attaching one end of a leash cord to the glove and attaching the other end of the leash cord to the wrist or the like have been taken.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 describes: (1) a glove in which an appropriate part of a wristband and a part near the wrist inside the glove are respectively sewn and joined to both ends of a belt-shaped arm to integrate the wristband and the glove; and (2) a buttonhole is provided at the other end of a belt-shaped arm whose one end is sewn and joined to an appropriate part of the wristband, and a button is attached to a part near the wrist inside the glove so as to be detachable. When the glove is worn, these buttonholes and buttons are fastened and connected to integrate the glove and the wristband.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, since the leash cord is merely a string, it does not fit the wrist. Also, it is difficult to operate the cord stopper of the leash cord while the leash cord is attached to the glove. Further, when the leash cord is removed from the glove, there is a problem that the leash cord is easily lost.

[0006] For example, the gloves described in (1) of Patent Document 1 are not easy to put on and take off from the wristband, and the gloves described in (2) of Patent Document 1 are prone to being lost when removed from the strap-like arm that is sewn to the wristband.

[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention aims to provide gloves that are easy to put on and take off, and that prevent the gloves from being lost during the process. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The glove according to the present invention comprises a cord, a portion of which is positioned on the periphery of the opening of the glove, the cord being ring-shaped with a ring circumference greater than the length of the periphery of the opening, and including a stored cord portion housed on the periphery of the opening and an exposed cord portion exposed to the outside of the opening, the glove comprising a first cord stopper provided on the exposed cord portion and a second cord stopper positioned further from the opening than the first cord stopper.

[0009] Such gloves have a cord that is ring-shaped and includes a retractable cord portion and an exposed cord portion, and is equipped with a first cord stopper and a second cord stopper on the exposed cord portion. As a result, the portion that functions as a drawstring, consisting of the retractable cord portion and the first cord stopper, and the portion that functions as a leash cord, consisting of the exposed cord portion excluding the first cord stopper, are formed as a single, inseparable continuous unit, making it easy to put on and take off the gloves and preventing them from being lost during this process.

[0010] Furthermore, the gloves may have rubber elasticity in the cord.

[0011] Because the cord of such a glove has rubber elasticity, the glove fits the hand better, making it easier to put on and take off the glove, and also making it less likely to lose the glove when putting it on or taking it off.

[0012] Furthermore, the glove can have a ring circumference length of the exposed cord portion excluding the first cord stopper that is 0.50 times or more and 2.0 times or less than the ring circumference length of the retracted cord portion including the first cord stopper.

[0013] In such gloves, the ring circumference of the exposed cord portion excluding the first cord stopper is 0.50 times or more and 2.0 times or less than the ring circumference of the retracted cord portion including the first cord stopper, making it easy to put on and take off the gloves, and also easy to handle because the removed gloves do not come too far from the hand.

[0014] Furthermore, the glove may further include a cord end positioned at the ring end of the exposed cord portion.

[0015] Since such gloves further include a cord end positioned at the ring end of the exposed cord portion, the cord portion of the glove becomes easier to operate, making it easier to put on and take off the gloves, and also making it less likely for the gloves to be lost when putting them on or taking them off.

[0016] Furthermore, if the glove further includes a cord end positioned at the ring end of the exposed cord portion, the ring circumference of the exposed cord portion, excluding the first cord stopper and the cord end, can be set to 0.50 times or more and 2.0 times or less the ring circumference of the retracted cord portion, including the first cord stopper.

[0017] In such gloves, the ring circumference of the exposed cord portion, excluding the first cord stopper and the cord end, is 0.50 to 2.0 times the ring circumference of the retracted cord portion, including the first cord stopper. This makes it easy to put on and take off the gloves, and also makes them easy to handle because the removed gloves do not come too far from the hand. [Effects of the Invention]

[0018] As described above, the present invention can provide gloves that are easy to put on and take off, and that prevent the gloves from being lost during the process.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0020] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals are used to denote the common configurations in each figure. The sizes, dimensions, positional relationships, etc. of the illustrated configurations are merely exemplary and are not limited to those shown.

[0021] FIGS. 1 to FIGS. 4, FIG. 5A, and FIG. 5B all show gloves for the right hand. It is clear that the shape of the glove for the left hand has a shape that is enantiomorphic to the shape described in those figures.

[0022] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the glove 1 of this embodiment includes a cord 2, a portion of which is positioned on the peripheral edge 1p of the opening 1w of the glove 1. The cord 2 is ring-shaped, with a ring circumference longer than the length of the peripheral edge of the opening, and includes a stored cord portion 2s housed in the peripheral edge 1p of the opening 1w, and an exposed cord portion 2e exposed to the outside of the peripheral edge 1p. The glove 1 of this embodiment also includes a cord stopper 20, which consists of a first cord stopper 21 provided on the exposed cord portion 2e, and a second cord stopper 22 positioned further from the opening 1w than the first cord stopper 21. Here, the first cord stopper 21 is connected to the peripheral edge 1p directly or via a connecting member 1c. The connecting member 1c has the shape of a tape, string, or the like. The length of the connecting member 1c is a maximum of 5 cm, preferably 3 cm or less.

[0023] In the glove 1 of this embodiment, the cord 2 provided on the glove 1 is ring-shaped and includes a storage cord portion 2s and an exposed cord portion 2e. Furthermore, in the glove 1 of this embodiment, a cord stopper 20 is provided on the exposed cord portion 2e, which includes a first cord stopper 21 and a second cord stopper 22 positioned further from the opening 1w than the first cord stopper 21. Therefore, the ring-shaped portion formed by the storage cord portion 2s and the cord portion within the first cord stopper (hereinafter also referred to as the storage cord portion 2s including the first cord stopper 21 in this specification, etc.) functions as a drawstring for tightening and securing the wrist of the hand H wearing the glove 1 (hereinafter also referred to as the "drawstring equivalent portion"). Furthermore, in the exposed cord portion 2e, excluding the cord portion inside the first cord stopper 21, the ring-shaped portion formed by the cord portion from the end of the first cord stopper 21, including the cord portion inside the second cord stopper 22, to the cord end (excluding the cord portion inside the cord end 20E if the cord end 20E described later is provided; the same applies hereinafter) (in this specification, etc., this is also referred to as the exposed cord portion 2e excluding the first cord stopper 21 (or the first cord stopper 21 and the cord end 20E if the cord end 20E is provided) has the function of a leash cord for connecting the glove 1 to the hand H (hereinafter also referred to as the "leash cord equivalent portion"). In addition, a part of the leash cord equivalent portion, which is formed by the cord portion from the cord portion inside the second cord stopper 22 of the exposed cord portion 2e to the ring end, has the function of a wrist cord for tightening and securing the wrist of the hand H (hereinafter also referred to as the "wrist cord equivalent portion"). The wrist cord equivalent portion can also be fixed to a part of the body or object other than a person's wrist.

[0024] Therefore, in this embodiment, the glove 1 has a cord 2 provided on the glove 1, which consists of a drawstring equivalent portion (i.e., a portion that functions as a drawstring) and a leash cord equivalent portion (i.e., a portion that functions as a leash cord), which are formed integrally and continuously. As a result, putting on and taking off the glove is easy, and the loss of the glove during putting on or taking off is prevented.

[0025] [code] (Rubber elasticity) Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the cord 2 is not particularly limited, but preferably has rubber elasticity in the drawstring portion and the wrist cord portion, from the viewpoint of fitting more snugly to the wrist. Here, rubber elasticity is also called entropy elasticity, and refers to the property that a solid material that has been deformed due to an externally applied force will quickly return to its original shape due to high internal stress.

[0026] (Cord materials) There are no particular restrictions on the cord material, but from the viewpoint of having rubber elasticity, natural rubber (NR), styrene rubber (styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR)), nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), butadiene rubber (BR), isoprene rubber (IR), butyl rubber (isobutylene-isoprene rubber (IIR)), nitrile rubber (nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR)), chloroprene rubber (CR), silicone rubber (SI), fluororubber (FKM), urethane rubber (U), acrylic rubber (ACM), ethylene rubber Suitable materials include propylene rubber (EPM), ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (EPDM), ethylene-vinyl acetate rubber (EVA), chlorinated polyethylene rubber (CM), Hypalon (chlorosulfonated polyethylene), epichlorohydrin rubber (epichlorohydrin homopolymer (CO), epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide copolymer (ECO)), as well as styrene block copolymers, thermoplastic polyolefins, thermoplastic polyurethanes, and polyester-based thermoplastic elastomers.

[0027] The cord material is not particularly limited as long as it has rubber elasticity, and may be an elastomer containing the above-mentioned rubber alone, or a knitted body of elastomer fibers containing the above-mentioned rubber. From the viewpoint of high durability, the cord material is more preferably made by incorporating elastomer fibers containing the above-mentioned rubber as a core thread and braiding it with nylon, polyester, rayon, or polypropylene. For example, a round cross-section rubber cord can be made by using the elastic thread of the above-mentioned elastomer as a core and braiding 8 or 16 threads into a tubular shape.

[0028] (Cord diameter) While there are no particular restrictions on the cord diameter, from the viewpoint of ensuring tensile stress, it is preferably 1.5 mm or more, more preferably 2.0 mm or more, and even more preferably 2.2 mm or more. Furthermore, while there are no particular restrictions on the cord diameter, from the viewpoint of not being bulky, it is preferably 6.0 mm or less, more preferably 5.0 mm or less, and even more preferably 4.0 mm or less.

[0029] (Tensile stress of the cord) Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the tensile stress of cord 2 is preferably 1.5 N or more, more preferably 2.0 N or more, and even more preferably 2.3 N or more, when the cord is stretched by 50% at a pulling speed of 150 mm / min, in order to improve workability when tightening the drawcord portion of cord 2 and to prevent the hand from slipping out of the wristcord portion. Furthermore, the tensile stress of cord 2 is preferably 13.0 N or less, more preferably 10.0 N or less, and even more preferably 8.5 N or less, when the cord is stretched by 50% at a pulling speed of 150 mm / min, in order to ensure that the drawcord portion of cord 2 fits well around the wrist without being too tight and to improve workability when inserting the hand into the wristcord portion.

[0030] (The ratio of the ring circumference length of the stored cord section including the first cord stopper to the ring circumference length of the exposed cord section excluding the first cord stopper (or the first cord stopper and the cord end)) Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the ratio (ratio R2 / R1) of the ring circumference R1 of the stored cord section 2s including the first cord stopper 21 to the ring circumference R2 of the exposed cord section 2e excluding the first cord stopper 21 (or the first cord stopper 21 and the cord end 20E if the first cord stopper 21 is provided) is preferably 0.5 times or more, more preferably 0.7 times or more, and even more preferably 0.85 times or more, from the viewpoint of improving the workability of the first cord stopper while keeping a hand in the wrist cord equivalent section. Furthermore, the ratio of the ring circumference of the exposed cord section to the ring circumference of the stored cord section is preferably 2.0 times or less, more preferably 1.5 times or less, and even more preferably 1.3 times or less, from the viewpoint of preventing the glove from coming too far away from the hand when the glove is removed. Here, the ring circumference R1 of the storage cord section 2s including the first cord stopper 21 means, when the first cord stopper 21 is directly connected to the peripheral edge 1p, the sum of the ring circumference of the storage cord section 2s and the ring circumference of the cord section inside the first cord stopper 21, with the peripheral edge 1p of the glove 1 stretched out without any constriction; and when the first cord stopper 21 is connected to the peripheral edge 1p via a connecting member 1c, the sum of the ring circumference of the storage cord section 2s, the ring circumference of the cord section corresponding to the length of the connecting member 1c stretched out without any slack, and the ring circumference of the cord section inside the first cord stopper 21.

[0031] (Cord stopper) Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the glove 1 of this embodiment, as described above, includes a first cord stopper 21 provided on the exposed cord portion 2e as a cord stopper 20, and a second cord stopper 22 positioned further from the opening 1w than the first cord stopper 21. Therefore, as described above, the cord 2 provided on the glove 1 of this embodiment is formed integrally and continuously, comprising a draw cord equivalent portion and a leash cord equivalent portion, making it easy to put on and take off the glove, and preventing the loss of the glove when putting on or taking off the glove. Here, the draw cord equivalent portion is the storage cord portion 2s including the first cord stopper 21. The leash cord equivalent portion is the exposed cord portion 2e excluding the first cord stopper 21 (and the first cord stopper 21 and cord end 20E if a cord end 20E is provided).

[0032] Regarding the fixing method of the cord stopper 20, the first cord stopper 21 and the second cord stopper 22 are of a type that is movable and has the resistance to movement described later, such as a spring type or a screw type, and a spring type is preferred from the viewpoint of being able to move quickly. Also, in the case of gloves, since the cord 2 is used in a ring shape, a cord stopper with two holes is preferred as the cord stopper 20.

[0033] (Resistance to movement of the cord stopper) The resistance force of the cord stopper 20 to move is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of preventing the cord stopper from shifting when fixed (i.e., not loosened), it is preferably 5.0 N or more, and more preferably 7.0 N or more. Furthermore, although the resistance force of the cord stopper 20 to move is not particularly limited, from the viewpoint of enabling movement with one hand without loosening the cord stopper in an emergency, it is preferably 15.0 N or less, and more preferably 10.0 N or less. Here, in this specification, the resistance force of the cord stopper 20 to move indicates the difficulty of the cord stopper 20 to move when fixed, and refers to the average tension (hereinafter also referred to as average tension) when, in a cord on which a cord stopper 20 that has not been loosened is placed, the cord stopper 20 is fixed, and one end of the cord 2 on the cord end 20E side from the cord stopper 20 is pulled at a pulling speed of 150 mm / min, and the cord is pulled further to 50 mm from the point where the tension of the cord 2 and the resistance force of the cord stopper 20 are balanced.

[0034] (End of code) The glove 1 of this embodiment may further include a cord end 20E positioned at the ring end of the exposed cord portion 2e. Since such a glove 1 includes the above-mentioned cord end 20E, the cord portion of the glove becomes easier to operate, making it easier to put on and take off the glove, and also making it more difficult to lose the glove when putting it on or taking it off. The cord end 20E may be of a type that is not intended for movement, such as a screw type or a crimp type.

[0035] (Location of the code) Code 2 is partially positioned on the periphery of the opening 1w of the glove 1. The periphery 1p of the opening 1w of the glove 1 may vary depending on the configuration of the main body 1b of the glove 1. Referring to Figures 1 to 3, if the main body 1b of the glove 1 consists of a main part 1bm that covers the palm, back of the hand, and fingers, a hem part 1bh that covers the wrist, and a cuff part 1bc that covers part of the arm, then the periphery 1p of the opening 1w of the glove 1 corresponds to the periphery of the cuff part 1bc. Referring to Figure 4, if the main body 1b of the glove 1 consists of a main part 1bm and a hem part 1bh, then the periphery 1p of the opening 1w of the glove 1 corresponds to the periphery of the hem part 1bh.

[0036] (How to place the code) There are no particular limitations on how to position a portion of the cord 2 at the peripheral edge 1p of the opening 1w of the glove 1. For example, referring to Figures 3 and 4, first, a ring-shaped cavity is formed by folding a portion of the peripheral edge 1p of the cuff portion 1bc or the peripheral edge 1bh of the hem portion 1bh of the main body 1b of the glove 1 inward and sewing or gluing the end. Next, an opening is made in a portion of the cavity (for example, a portion on the thumb side), and the cord 2 is inserted from one side of the cavity through the opening and pulled out from the other side of the cavity, so that a portion of the cord 2 is positioned in the cavity at the peripheral edge 1p of the opening 1w of the glove 1.

[0037] Next, as a cord stopper 20, a first cord stopper 21 and a second cord stopper 22 can be provided in this order, starting from the side closest to the peripheral edge 1p of the opening 1w of the glove 1, on the exposed portion of the cord 2 arranged as described above, and a cord end 20E can also be provided at the end of the cord.

[0038] [Glove body] As described above, referring to Figures 1 to 3, the main body 1b of the glove 1 may consist of a main part 1bm, a hem part 1bh, and a cuff part 1bc. Also, referring to Figure 4, the main body 1b of the glove 1 may consist of a main part 1bm and a hem part 1bh.

[0039] (Main part) The main part 1bm is the part that covers the palm, back of the hand, and fingers. The shape of the fingers in the main part 1bm may be any of the following shapes: a trigger mitten shape with separate compartments for the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger, as shown in Figures 1, 3, and 4; a mitten shape with separate compartments for the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger, as shown in Figure 5A; or a standard shape with separate compartments for the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger, as shown in Figure 5B.

[0040] Furthermore, although there are no particular restrictions on the main part 1bm, from the viewpoint of ensuring strength and providing a slip-suppressing function, as shown in Figure 6A, it has a structure in which the fiber layer 11, the first resin layer 12, the second resin layer 13, and the slip-suppressing layer 14 are arranged in this order from the inside (the part that contacts the hand) side to the outside side of the glove 1.

[0041] The fiber layer 11 is formed by knitting a fiber material. As the fiber material, various known general-purpose fibers (polyamide fibers, polyester fibers, polyethylene fibers, cotton, acrylic fibers, rayon fibers, etc.), or yarns made from various known cut-resistant fibers (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers, aramid fibers, glass fibers, stainless steel fibers), or composite yarns of the above fibers can be used. The thickness of the fiber layer 11 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.1 mm to 1.5 mm. The thickness of the fiber layer 11 can be measured by a film thickness gauge (e.g., TECLOCK PG-15) before the formation of the first resin layer 12. The fiber layer 11 can be made, for example, by knitting it into a glove shape using a glove knitting machine (e.g., Shima Seiki Mfg. Co., Ltd. NFG-I), or by cutting a knitted fabric made from a fiber material using a circular knitting machine, flat knitting machine, or warp knitting machine into an arbitrary shape and sewing it into a glove shape.

[0042] The first resin layer 12 is formed to cover the outer surface of the fiber layer 11. The resin constituting the first resin layer 12 can be any known resin, such as polyvinyl chloride resin, natural rubber, nitrile rubber, chloroprene rubber, fluororubber, silicone rubber, isoprene rubber, polyurethane resin, acrylic resin, or modified versions thereof (e.g., carboxyl-modified resins). The thickness of the first resin layer 12 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.02 mm or more and 1.5 mm or less. The thickness of the first resin layer 12 can be measured by observing the cross-section of the layer at 300x magnification using a digital microscope and taking the arithmetic mean of the values ​​measured at 10 points every 500 μm. From the viewpoint of retaining air in the voids between the fibers of the fiber layer 11 and improving adhesion with the fiber layer 11, it is preferable that the first resin layer 12 penetrates into a part of the voids between the fibers of the fiber layer 11, or that the porous layer penetrates throughout the entire thickness direction of the fiber layer 11.

[0043] The second resin layer 13 is formed to cover the outer surface of the first resin layer 12. The second resin layer 13 is a layer formed from the same resin as the first resin layer 12. The second resin layer 13 may be formed from the same resin as the first resin layer 12, or from a different resin. There are no particular restrictions on the thickness of the second resin layer 13, but it is usually between 0.01 mm and 1.0 mm. The thickness of the second resin layer 13 can be measured in the same way as the thickness of the first resin layer 12.

[0044] The anti-slip layer 14 is formed to cover the outer surface of the second resin layer 13. The anti-slip layer 14 may be formed on at least a part of the main body 1bm of the glove 1 (specifically, the part that covers the palm, back of the hand, and fingers) for the purpose of suppressing slippage. From the viewpoint of suppressing slippage, the anti-slip layer 14 includes a matrix resin and particles 14p dispersed therein. The matrix resin can be any known resin, such as polyvinyl chloride resin, natural rubber, nitrile rubber, chloroprene rubber, fluororubber, silicone rubber, isoprene rubber, polyurethane resin, acrylic resin, or modified versions thereof (e.g., carboxyl modified versions). The particles can be any known particles, and may be particles of the same material as the matrix resin, or inorganic particles such as ceramic particles, silica gel, or glass particles, or organic particles such as walnut powder or cellulose fiber powder. The size of such particles can be appropriately selected depending on the purpose, but considering the relationship between anti-slip performance and particle shedding, it is preferably 5 μm or larger, more preferably 10 μm or larger, preferably 2000 μm or smaller, and more preferably 1000 μm or smaller.

[0045] The surface 14s of the slip-suppressing layer 14 may be processed to create a textured surface by pressing, from the viewpoint of enhancing slip suppression. Since the surface 14s of the slip-suppressing layer 14 has protrusions 14sc and recesses 14sr formed by the textured surface, slip suppression can be further enhanced.

[0046] (hem) The hem portion 1bh is the part that covers the wrist. The main portion 1bm is not particularly restricted, but from the viewpoint of ensuring strength, as shown in Figure 6B, it has a structure in which the fiber layer 11, the first resin layer 12, and the second resin layer 13 are arranged in this order from the inside (the part that touches the hand) side to the outside side of the glove 1. Here, the fiber layer 11, the first resin layer 12, and the second resin layer 13 are the same as the fiber layer 11, the first resin layer 12, and the second resin layer 13 in the main portion 1bm described above.

[0047] (Cuff area) The cuff portion 1bc is the part that covers a part of the arm. The cuff portion 1bc is joined to the periphery of the hem portion 1bh by sewing, bonding, or fusion. As shown in Figure 6C, the cuff portion 1bc is formed of a cuff sheet 15. The cuff sheet 15 is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of ensuring strength, it is preferably formed by weaving a fibrous material. As the fibrous material, yarn made from various known general-purpose fibers (polyamide fibers, polyester fibers, polyethylene fibers, cotton, acrylic fibers, rayon fibers, etc.) or composite yarn of the above various fibers can be used. The thickness of the cuff sheet 15 is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of fabric strength and ease of tightening the cuff portion, it is preferably 0.1 mm to 1.5 mm.

[0048] Furthermore, the right-hand glove 1 shown in Figures 1 to 4 may be provided with a glove stopper 1s for connecting to the corresponding left-hand glove. Such a glove stopper 1s can prevent the loss of one glove when storing both gloves.

[0049] (Method of manufacturing the glove body) First, a fiber glove is prepared, consisting of a main part 1bm and a hem part 1bh, and made of fiber layers 11. For example, the fiber glove is made using a glove knitting machine. Next, a first resin solution containing resin to form a first resin layer 12 covering the outer surface of the fiber glove is applied to the outer surface of the fiber glove. For example, the fiber glove, which has been fitted onto a hand shape, is immersed in the first coating solution to apply it to the outer surface of the fiber glove. After applying the first coating solution, the fiber glove is dried at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time (for example, 80°C for 60 minutes) to form the first resin layer 12 on the outer surface of the fiber glove. Next, a second resin solution containing resin to form a second resin layer 13 covering the outer surface of the first resin layer 12 is applied to the outer surface of the first resin layer 12. For example, the fiber glove with the first resin layer 12 formed on it is immersed in the second coating solution to apply the second coating solution to the outer surface of the first resin layer 12. After applying the second coating solution, the textile glove is dried at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time (for example, 60 minutes at 80°C) to form the second resin layer 13 on the outer surface of the first resin layer 12. Next, a third coating solution is applied to the outer surface of the second resin layer 13 of the main part 1bm of the glove body 1b to form a slip-suppressing layer 14 that covers the outer surface of the second resin layer 13 of the main part 1bm of the glove body 1b. For example, in a textile glove on which the second resin layer 13 has been formed, only the main part 1bm side is immersed in the third coating solution to apply the third coating solution to the outer surface of the second resin layer 13 of the main part 1bm of the glove body 1b. After applying the third coating solution, the textile glove is dried at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time (for example, first at 60 minutes at 80°C, then at 30 minutes at 120°C) to form the slip-suppressing layer 14 on the outer surface of the second resin layer 13. As a result, a main body 1b including the main part 1bm and the hem 1bh is obtained.

[0050] Here, if the main body 1b of the glove 1 includes a cuff portion 1bc in addition to the main portion 1bm and the hem portion 1bh, the cuff portion 1bc is joined to the periphery of the hem portion 1bh. For example, a cuff sheet 15 that forms the cuff portion 1bc is joined to the periphery of the hem portion 1bh by sewing, bonding, or fusing.

[0051] [Inner gloves] Referring to Figures 3 and 4, an inner glove 3 can be further worn between the glove 1 of this embodiment and the hand. The inner glove 3 is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of keeping the hand warm, it is preferably a knitted material of fibers such as cotton, wool, polyamide, or polyester. The shape of the fingers of the inner glove 3 may be the same as or different from the shape of the fingers of the glove 1. For example, for a trigger mitten-shaped glove 1 as shown in Figures 1, 3, and 4, both trigger mitten-shaped and standard-shaped inner gloves 3 can be worn. Also, for a mitten-shaped glove 1 as shown in Figure 5A, mitten-shaped, trigger mitten-shaped, and standard-shaped inner gloves 3 can be worn. However, for a standard-shaped glove 1 as shown in Figure 5B, only a standard-shaped inner glove 3 can be worn. The inner glove may be attached to the inside of the main body 1b of the glove 1, or it may be provided separately. [Examples]

[0052] [Example 1] (Ratio of ring circumference of the retracted cord section to ring circumference of the exposed cord section) As shown in Figure 1, a portion of the cord 2 is positioned on the peripheral edge 1p of the opening 1w of the glove 1. A first cord stopper 21 and a second cord stopper 22 are provided in this order from the opening 1w side on the exposed cord portion 2e that is exposed to the outside of the peripheral edge 1p of the opening 1w, and a cord end 20E is provided at the ring end of the exposed cord portion 2e. Here, the cord 2 used was ROPE ELASTIC 2MM-QSM-ST.TT02-227-T300CHR manufactured by TRIEU VI CORPORATION, which is a rubber fiber knitted material with a diameter of 2.5 mm. The first cord stopper 21 was a CLTS manufactured by Nifco, which uses a metal spring to secure the cord with two holes. The second cord stopper 22 was a CL38A manufactured by Nifco, which is a spring-fixed type with two holes. The cord end 20E uses the STOPNKAN11757 manufactured by KOLON PLASTICS, Inc., which secures the cord with a single hole and plastic teeth.

[0053] In the above-described glove 1, when the ring circumference length of the cord 2 is changed and the first cord stopper 21 and the second cord stopper 22 are moved, thereby changing the ring circumference length of the stored cord section 2s including the first cord stopper 21 (hereinafter also referred to as R1) and the ring circumference length of the exposed cord section 2e excluding the first cord stopper 21 and the cord end 20E (hereinafter also referred to as R2), the workability of putting on and taking off the glove 1 while keeping the hand inside the ring portion between the second cord stopper 22 and the cord end 20E of the exposed cord section 2e was evaluated. The evaluation criteria were as follows: Good if the glove can be put on and taken off easily; Good if the glove can be put on and taken off with some difficulty; and Poor if the glove cannot be put on or taken off. Here, the glove 1 had a first cord stopper 21 (length 2.3 cm) connected to the peripheral edge 1p via a connecting member 1c (length 2 cm). Therefore, the ring circumference R1 of the storage cord section 2s including the first cord stopper 21 was the sum of the ring circumference of the storage cord section 2s, the ring circumference of the cord section corresponding to the length of the connecting member 1c when extended without slack, and the ring circumference of the cord section inside the first cord stopper 21. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0054] [Table 1]

[0055] In Table 1, sample No. 1, with a ratio R2 / R1 of 0.5 or higher, was deemed to have acceptable workability. Furthermore, in samples No. 2 and No. 3, with a ratio R2 / R1 of 0.85 or higher, sample No. 3 was evaluated as having good workability.

[0056] Furthermore, although not shown in Table 1, when the workability of a cord with R1 = 410 mm and R2 = 820 mm (ratio R2 / R1 = 2.0) was evaluated, it was found that the workability was good, and for a person who is 155 cm tall and wears a size M, the removed glove did not touch the ground or other surfaces. From this, it was found that a ratio R2 / R1 of 2.0 or less is preferable from the perspective of preventing the removed glove from getting in the way.

[0057] [Example 2] (Tensile stress of the cord) The tensile stress of the cord used in Example 1 (i.e., a rubber fiber knitted material, 2.5 mm in diameter, ROPE ELASTIC 2MM-QSM-ST.TT02-227-T300CHR manufactured by TRIEU VI CORPORATION, with rubber elasticity), string (fiber knitted material, 3.0 mm in diameter, Okima glove leash, without rubber elasticity), thin round rubber (polyester-natural rubber, 0.9 mm in diameter, manufactured by Daiso Industries), medium round rubber (polyester-natural rubber, 1.4 mm in diameter, manufactured by Daiso Industries), and combinations of some of these were measured under the following conditions.

[0058] A Shimadzu AGS-500NX tensile testing machine was used. The distance between the chucks of the testing machine was set to 60 mm, and each of the three samples described above was pulled at a tensile speed of 150 mm / min. The stress (tensile force) was measured when the distance between the chucks was 90 mm (i.e., 50% elongation). The results are summarized in Table 2. In Table 2, the tensile stress of the cord and the fit of the glove to the hand were comprehensively evaluated and given a relative rating from S, A, B, and C, from best to worst.

[0059] [Table 2]

[0060] Table 2 shows that the tensile stress of the cord (rubber fiber knit) used in Example 1 was 5.64 N, which is within the preferred tensile stress range (1.5 N to 13 N) for cords, from the viewpoint of improving workability when tightening the drawstring portion and preventing the hand from slipping out of the wrist cord portion, and thus it was found to be suitable as the cord for glove 1. In contrast, the string did not stretch, so the tensile stress could not be measured as it did not reach 50% elongation, and the fit was not very good. One thin round rubber band had a tensile stress of 0.33 N, making it easy to tighten the cuff, but the fit was loose and not very good. One medium round rubber band had a tensile stress of 0.75 N, making it easy to tighten the cuff, but the fit was loose and not very good. Two medium round rubber bands had a tensile stress of 1.51 N, making it easy to tighten the cuff, and the fit was slightly loose but good.

[0061] [Example 3] (Resistance to movement of the cord stopper) The movement resistance force of the Nifco CL38A, a spring-fixed type with two holes used as the cord stopper 20 in Example 1, was measured under the following conditions for the cord (a rubber fiber knitted material, 2.5 mm in diameter, manufactured by TRIEU VI CORPORATION, ROPE ELASTIC 2MM-QSM-ST.TT02-227-T300CHR, with rubber elasticity) and the string (a fiber knitted material, 3.0 mm in diameter, manufactured by Okima, without rubber elasticity).

[0062] A Shimadzu AGS-500NX tensile testing machine was used. A cord stopper 20 was fixed to the first chuck C1 (the first chuck C1 fixed only the cord stopper 20, not the cord 2), and one of the two cords at the end of the cord, cord 2, was clamped and fixed with the second chuck C2 so as not to slacken. The distance L0 between the first chuck C1 and the second chuck C2 was 60 mm. The widths W1 and W2 of both the first and second chucks were 30 mm. Using the second chuck C2, cord 2 was pulled at a tensile speed of 150 mm / min, and the average stress (tension) was measured from the point where the tension of cord 2 and the resistance force of the cord stopper 20 balanced until the second chuck C2 moved another 50 mm, and this was defined as the resistance force to movement. The results are summarized in Table 3.

[0063] [Table 3]

[0064] The resistance force of the cord stopper used in Example 1 was 8.09 N, which was within the preferred range of 5 N to 15 N, from the viewpoint of preventing slippage of the cord stopper when fixed (i.e., not loosened) and from the viewpoint of being able to move the cord stopper with one hand without loosening it in an emergency. Furthermore, the resistance force of the first cord stopper in the string was 4.09 N, which was smaller than the preferred range mentioned above. Thus, it was found that cords with rubber elasticity increase the resistance force of the cord stopper compared to cords without rubber elasticity. [Explanation of Symbols]
