Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a finger-protective glove, and more specifically, to a protective glove worn on objects that are constantly attached to the hand during cold winter weather. This glove is designed to protect the fingers, which are the first to become numb and painful in low temperatures, from the cold. Unlike existing gloves that protect the entire hand, this invention features a specialized structure for finger protection. It is significantly smaller in size and employs a pocket-like design with a wide entrance that narrows towards the inside, eliminating any bottlenecks and allowing for free and rapid insertion and removal of the fingers. Background Technology
[0002] The hands are peripheral areas with fine, exposed blood vessels that lose heat quickly. In cold environments, these peripheral blood vessels constrict, reducing blood flow to the fingertips and potentially causing numbness and pain due to poor circulation.
[0003] In the frigid winter weather, driving barehanded in a freezing car every morning can cause fingertips to feel cold and painful. In low temperatures, muscles and tendons stiffen, making it difficult to extend fingers, resulting in limited movement, abnormal sensations, and fatigue. Although the duration is short, it is an extremely painful experience. However, wearing or carrying gloves every time is also quite tiring.
[0004] In winter, most building door handles exposed to the elements are made of metal. Metal has a very high thermal conductivity, which quickly draws heat away from the hands. The moment a hand touches a cold door handle, heat is rapidly transferred from the hand to the metal, causing the skin's surface temperature to drop quickly. Human hands typically contain sweat or moisture from the air. When touched in the cold winter, these trace amounts of moisture freeze instantly, forming a thin layer of ice between the skin and the metal. This ice layer acts as an adhesive, making the hand feel as if it's stuck to the door handle. Forcibly separating the hand from the metal can cause skin lacerations, frostbite, or abrasions because the ice layer adheres more firmly to the metal than skin.
[0005] In winter, the steering wheel of a parked vehicle is at almost the same temperature as the outside. Leather, polyurethane, and metallic steering wheels, in particular, quickly absorb heat, rapidly drawing away body heat from the hands. In winter, the surface temperature of metal or tools is extremely low, and direct contact may cause a cold injury similar to a burn.
[0006] Insulating gloves prevent direct contact between the hands and cold air, retaining the body heat generated by the hands internally and preventing a drop in body temperature. In cold environments, peripheral blood vessels constrict, reducing blood flow to the fingertips. Wearing insulating gloves helps maintain hand temperature and reduces numbness and pain caused by poor blood circulation.
[0007] The necessity of protective gloves for hands in the harsh winter is undeniable. However, carrying gloves constantly or providing them in necessary locations is quite inconvenient, and the management and economic issues associated with gloves should not be overlooked. Protecting hands in the cold winter is crucial, especially while driving, as the loss of sensation or limited movement in the hands due to low temperatures is a serious problem. Therefore, research and development in this area are highly necessary. Summary of the Invention
[0008] Technical problems to be solved To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a cold-weather glove that protects the hands in low-temperature environments and prevents dangerous situations caused by limited hand movement or dulled sensation due to low temperatures. By attaching the cold-weather glove, which protects the hands from the effects of low temperatures, to a contact object that needs to be in contact with the hands in a low-temperature environment, it can be fixed to the low-temperature object for use even without carrying the necessary gloves.
[0009] Another objective of this invention is to provide a cold-weather glove specifically designed to protect the fingers from cold, which are more susceptible to sensory dullness, sluggishness, and pain than the back or palm of the hand in low-temperature environments. This glove provides warmth by preventing contact between the palm and cold-weather materials. It also features four-finger and thumb cold-weather sections specifically designed to protect the five fingers that are more susceptible to loss of sensation and pain in low temperatures. These sections are arched, have wide openings, and possess a pocket-like structure, resulting in a significantly smaller volume compared to existing cold-weather gloves. Furthermore, they allow for easy and rapid insertion and removal of the fingers.
[0010] Another object of the present invention is to provide a cold-proof glove that can be fixed to a low-temperature contact object that the hand touches by a variety of methods, such as by attaching or inserting into the outer layer of the bottom of the glove or other parts, using materials not limited to soft iron, magnets, Velcro, etc., by forming a shape for fixing or by attaching for fixing, etc.
[0011] Solution to the problem To achieve the above objectives, the finger cold-proof glove 10 according to the present invention comprises an outer bottom layer 101 having durability and cold-proof properties, and an inner bottom cold-proof layer 102 having the same shape as the outer bottom layer 101 and excellent cold-proof properties.
[0012] Between the outer bottom layer 101 and the inner bottom layer 102, there is an aluminum plate 200 with the same shape but smaller size as the inner bottom layer 102. The edges of the outer bottom layer 101 and the inner bottom layer 102 are joined by stitching or other methods to form a bottom cold-proof part 100 with an aluminum plate 200 inserted and joined between the outer bottom layer 101 and the inner bottom layer 102.
[0013] The index, middle, ring, and little fingers are referred to as the "four fingers".
[0014] To protect the four fingers from the cold, an inner four-finger cold-proof layer 302 with an arched, pocket-shaped entrance and excellent cold-proof properties, and an outer four-finger cold-proof layer 301 with the same shape, slightly larger size, and durable and cold-proof properties, are joined together by methods such as sewing to form a four-finger cold-proof part 300 with cold-proof and durable properties.
[0015] To protect the thumb from the cold, an inner layer 402 with an arched, pocket-shaped opening and excellent cold-proof properties, and an outer layer 401 with the same shape, slightly larger size, and durability and cold-proof properties, are joined together by sewing or other methods to form a cold-proof and durable thumb part 400.
[0016] On one side of the bottom cold-proof part 100, that is, the upper four-finger part of the bottom cold-proof inner layer 102, a four-finger cold-proof part 300 is attached, and the arched entrance becomes the four-finger opening 303. The pocket-shaped four-finger cold-proof part 300 is combined with the bottom cold-proof part 100.
[0017] A thumb-insulating part 400 is attached to the lower end of the bottom cold-proof inner layer 102 at the thumb position, and an arched entrance becomes a thumb opening 403. The pocket-shaped thumb-insulating part 400 is combined with the bottom cold-proof part 100.
[0018] Preferably, the aluminum plate 200 inserted between the outer bottom layer 101 and the inner bottom layer 102 of the bottom cold-proof part 100 is flexible and soft, allowing the user to shape it as desired or restore it to its original state. Therefore, for example, in places such as steering wheels that are easily exposed to low temperatures and are frequently used, the aluminum plate 200 of the bottom cold-proof part 100 can be wrapped around the steering wheel to attach the cold-proof gloves 10.
[0019] Preferably, the cold-proof glove 10 of this application differs from existing cold-proof gloves that cover the entire hand 1. It adopts a structure specifically designed to protect the fingers, which are vulnerable to low temperatures and experience sensory dullness, sluggishness, and pain earlier than other parts of the body. It has a four-finger cold-proof part 300 and a thumb cold-proof part 400. Compared with existing cold-proof gloves, it is significantly smaller in size. Furthermore, due to the pocket-shaped design with a wide entrance and gradually narrowing bottom on the finger structure, it is very easy and quick to insert or remove the four fingers and thumb from the finger cold-proof glove 10, thereby maximizing the convenience of use.
[0020] Preferably, the aluminum plate 200 inserted into the bottom cold-proof part 100 can be made of various materials, not limited to these, such as magnets, buttons, Velcro, etc., to change its shape or replace it, thereby providing a variety of methods to fix the cold-proof gloves to the low-temperature contact object that the hand touches, thus expanding the scope of use.
[0021] The effects of the invention This invention relates to a glove for protecting hands, especially fingers, from cold in low-temperature environments. Because the aluminum plate 200 inserted into the bottom insulating portion 100 of the finger glove 10 is flexible and can be shaped or restored to its original state by the user, the aluminum plate 200 of the finger glove 10 can be wound around the steering wheel to secure it in places where it is frequently used and exposed to low temperatures, such as a steering wheel. This provides a finger glove 10 for protecting fingers from cold in low-temperature environments, even without carrying a regular pair of gloves.
[0022] Unlike existing finger gloves or other cold-weather gloves that cover the entire hand 1, this invention employs a structure specifically designed to protect the fingers, which are vulnerable to low temperatures and experience sensory dullness, sluggishness, and pain earlier than other parts of the body. It has a four-finger cold-weather section 300 and a thumb cold-weather section 400. Compared to existing cold-weather gloves, it is significantly smaller in size. Furthermore, due to the bottleneck-free shape of the fingers, which is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, it is very easy and free to insert or remove the fingers into or from the four-finger cold-weather section 300 and the thumb cold-weather section 400. This provides a finger cold-weather glove 10 that maximizes ease of use.
[0023] The present invention provides a cold-proof glove that uses a variety of unrestricted alternative materials for inserting the aluminum plate 200 between the outer bottom layer 101 and the inner bottom cold-proof layer 102. By changing its shape and form, it can be attached or fixed to various products that require cold protection. Attached Figure Description

When assigning reference numerals to the constituent elements of the various drawings, it should be noted that the same reference numerals should be used as much as possible for the same constituent elements, even if they are shown in different drawings.
[0031] Furthermore, when describing embodiments of the present invention, detailed descriptions of related known structures or functions are omitted if it is determined that such detailed descriptions would hinder the understanding of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0032] Furthermore, when describing the constituent elements of embodiments of the present invention, terms such as first, second, A, B, (a), and (b) may be used. These terms are only used to distinguish the constituent element from other constituent elements and do not limit the nature, order, or sequence of the constituent element.
[0033] The following is for reference Figures 1 to 3 The structure and operation of a finger-warming glove 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The finger-protective gloves 10 of the present invention can be roughly divided into three parts: the bottom protective part 100, the four-finger protective part 300, and the thumb protective part 400.
[0035] Reference Figure 3The bottom surface cold protection part 100 has a three-layer structure. That is, the bottom outer layer 101, the bottom surface cold protection inner layer 102 that comes into contact with the skin, and the aluminum plate 200 inserted between the bottom outer layer 101 and the bottom surface cold protection inner layer 102.
[0036] The outer bottom layer 101 of the bottom surface of the bottom cold-proof part 100, which is the surface that contacts the object on which the finger cold-proof glove 10 of the present invention is mounted, is made of a material with excellent durability and excellent cold protection.
[0037] The bottom surface of the cold-proof part 100 has a bottom surface cold-proof inner layer 102, which is the surface where the hand 1 contacts the object on which the finger cold-proof glove 10 of the present invention is installed. It is made of a material that is soft to the touch and has excellent cold-proof properties.
[0038] The aluminum plate 200 inserted between the outer bottom layer 101 and the inner bottom layer 102 of the bottom cold protection part 100 is very thin. Therefore, the finger cold protection glove 10 of the present invention, made of cotton fabric or leather, can change its shape and deform according to the shape of the aluminum plate 200 without having a strength or tensile force exceeding that level. Therefore, the strength or thickness of the aluminum plate 200 is very small.
[0039] Reference Figure 3 The four-finger cold protection section 300 consists of a two-layer structure, namely, an inner four-finger cold protection layer 302 and an outer four-finger cold protection layer 301.
[0040] The outer layer 301 of the four fingers of the four-finger cold protection part 300 serves as the covering part of the four-finger cold protection part 300. It is the part that is exposed to the outside and in contact with it. Therefore, it is made of a material with excellent durability and excellent cold protection.
[0041] The four-finger cold-proof inner layer 302 of the four-finger cold-proof part 300 is the surface that comes into contact with and keeps warm the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger, i.e., the four fingers. It is made of a soft-touch material with excellent cold-proof properties.
[0042] Reference Figure 3 The thumb insulation 400 consists of a two-layer structure, namely, an inner thumb insulation layer 402 and an outer thumb insulation layer 401.
[0043] The thumb outer layer 401 of the thumb cold protection part 400 is a part that is exposed to the outside and in contact with the outside, so it is made of a material with excellent durability and excellent cold protection.
[0044] The thumb-insulating inner layer 402 of the thumb-insulating part 400, which is the surface that comes into contact with the thumb and keeps it warm, is made of a material that is soft to the touch and has excellent cold-proof properties.
[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 3The finger-protective gloves of the present invention are divided into a bottom surface cold-proof part 100, a four-finger cold-proof part 300, and a thumb cold-proof part 400, and the bottom surface cold-proof part 100, the four-finger cold-proof part 300, and the thumb cold-proof part 400 are combined together by sewing or other methods to form a complete product. Figures 1 to 2 The shape shown.
[0046] The following is for reference Figures 5 to 6 The structure and operation of a finger-warming glove 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
[0047] Reference Figures 5 to 6 In the finger cold-proof glove 10 of the present invention, the aluminum plate 200 inserted between the bottom outer layer 101 and the bottom cold-proof inner layer 102 of the bottom cold-proof part 100 is very thin, so it is very easy to bend or unfold by hand, and it is not difficult to change the shape of the aluminum plate 200. The desired shape can be easily changed. Figure 5 This refers to the state in which the finger-protecting gloves 10 of the present invention are installed on a door handle exposed to low temperatures. Figure 6 It should be like Figure 5 The diagram shown illustrates the shape of the aluminum plate 200 inside the finger-protective gloves 10 when the gloves 10 of the present invention are installed on a door exposed to the outside.
[0048] The following is for reference Figure 4 The structure and operation of a finger-warming glove 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
[0049] Figure 4 This diagram is a visual representation of the state in which the finger-protecting gloves 10 of the present invention are installed on a car steering wheel and in use.
[0050] Operating a car by gripping the steering wheel in freezing temperatures will cause your fingertips to feel cold and painful, and your hand sensation to become dulled, making steering wheel operation far from easy. (See reference) Figure 4 Since there is no need for the hassle of preparing special gloves, but instead there are finger gloves 10 that are always attached to the steering wheel, you can get rid of cold hands or the pain caused by them when driving, no matter how cold the weather is.
[0051] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The structure of the finger-protective gloves 10 of the present invention is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, unlike existing gloves, this one features a structure that insulates the fingers, making it significantly smaller than existing winter gloves. Figure 6 As shown, even when attached to a car steering wheel, it can be attached in a way that does not cause inconvenience or awkwardness.
[0052] Reference Figure 1The structure of the finger-insulating glove 10 of the present invention differs from that of existing cold-weather gloves. It employs a structure that insulates the fingers, thus the pocket-shaped four-finger cold-weather portion 300 and thumb cold-weather portion 400 have an arched entrance and a dome-shaped pocket structure. The arched entrance is wide, while the interior of the pocket-shaped structure narrows towards the inside. Therefore, inserting or removing fingers into the four-finger cold-weather portion 300 and thumb cold-weather portion 400 is easy and quick, as there are no bottleneck-like parts.
[0053] Reference Figure 4 In the finger-insulating gloves 10 of the present invention, the cold-proof pocket for inserting the thumb and four fingers has an arched entrance that is wider and narrower towards the inside, forming a dome shape. Therefore, inserting and pulling out the four fingers and thumb is very easy and convenient, and it is very quick and easy to pull out the fingers when gripping the steering wheel or after finishing driving.
[0054] The scope of protection of this invention is not limited to the embodiments described and expressed above. Furthermore, it should be reiterated that obvious modifications or substitutions within the technical field to which this invention pertains do not limit the scope of protection of this invention.
