Glove

Abstract

A glove has a glove body and multiple pinching elements. Each pinching element is formed on an upper end of the glove body. The glove is advantageous in the pinching elements securing a warmth-keeping effect while a user is wearing the glove, which can be achieved when the pinching element is closed and when dexterous finger operation is required to operate a 3C touch panel, turn a knob or press a button, the fingers are partially exposed by pushing through the pinching elements without taking off the glove. After the required operation is completed, the pinching elements can be recovered to their original position for attaining the warmth-keeping purpose of the glove.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a glove and more particularly to a glove having selected finger end portions with closed but not sealed openings.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]In places and times of freezing temperatures, people commonly wear gloves not only to keep their hands warm but also to prevent losing other body heat through the hands. Furthermore, frostbite to the fingers can be prevented by wearing gloves. With reference to FIG. 9, a conventional airtight glove 40 fully covers from the fingertips to the wrist and has multiple finger sections 41. The finger sections 41 are airtight and warmth-keeping. Although the airtight glove 40 can keep hands warm, such airtight glove 40 is not practically useful in certain circumstances.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention aims to provide a glove that can keep a hand warm while still allowing the fingers to move freely and function. This is achieved through pinching elements that are integrated with the glove. The benefit of this is that the glove can be used in a variety of situations where warmth needs to be maintained while still being able to operate objects with dexterity, such as 3C touch panels, knobs, and buttons.

Problems solved by technology

Although the airtight glove 40 can keep hands warm, such airtight glove 40 is not practically useful in certain circumstances.

A first example indicates that when users intend to drink hot water or hot soup to keep warm, it is difficult to open a vacuum bottle by hand wearing the airtight glove 40 due to insufficient grip between the bottle and the glove 40.

The vacuum bottle can be opened with less effort by hand with the airtight glove 40 removed but a dramatic loss of warmth will obviously occur.

Hence, when a user with the glove 40 on intends to operate a smart phone or a 3C product, the smart phone or 3C product fails to be actuated due to the unavailability of static electricity due to the insulation of the glove 40.

The smart phone or 3C product can be operable only if the glove 40 is removed, again resulting in serious loss of body heat.

However, the fingers 52 are prone to frostbite and the tipless glove 50 fails to keep the hand warm during frigid weather as the fingers 52 are not fully covered.
