Description

Title of the invention: Dust-proof adhesive glove for pre-painting cleaning of vehicle bodies

[0001] The present invention relates to a dust-proof adhesive glove for pre-painting cleaning of vehicle bodies, but other uses are not excluded. PRIORITY OF THE TECHNOLOGY

[0002] In the field of vehicle painting, both during production and in the case of touch-ups, it is customary to carry out a thorough preliminary cleaning of the surface to be painted.

[0003] This cleaning procedure consists first of all in washing the surface to be painted with degreasing products.

[0004] Next, a final cleaning phase is carried out with compressed air and suitable specific cleaning cloths to remove the dust.

[0005] The operator uses one hand to steer a compressed air distributor, such as the terminal of a compressor, and the other to wipe the adhesive cloth over the bodywork, also removing residual dust.

[0006] Known pre-painting cleaning cloths are adhesive because they contain an adhesive substance that makes them sticky, enabling them to trap dirt particles and prevent lint. Furthermore, these cloths are specially designed for use with water-based paints and do not release silicone substances.

[0007] However, these cloths are uncomfortable to use, as they tire the operator's hand. Furthermore, they must be crumpled or folded to be gripped firmly.

[0008] The object of the present invention is to overcome totally or partly the problems of the known technique.

[0009] One of the primary objectives of the present invention is to make the last stage of the cleaning process before the application phase of water-based paint on a surface, for example the body of a vehicle, more practical and more comfortable.

[0010] One of the primary objectives of the present invention is to make the use of the material in which specific adhesive cloths for pre-painting cleaning, or equivalent materials, are made more practical.

[0011] Another primary objective of the present invention is to provide a more practical form of use for this material, or equivalent materials, which is easy and economical to produce.

[0032] Other features and advantages of the present invention will become clearer from the following detailed description of its preferred embodiments, made with reference to the accompanying drawings and given by way of example only and not limitation. In these drawings:

[0033] [Fig-1] schematically illustrates the material from which the are manufactured gloves according to the present invention and traditional adhesive cloths known for cleaning vehicle bodies before painting;

[0034] [Fig.2] illustrates a first form of implementation of a glove according to the present invention, made from the material of [Fig.1];

[0035] [Fig.3] illustrates a second embodiment of a glove according to the present invention, made from the material of [Fig.1];

[0036] [Fig.4] illustrates a third embodiment of a glove according to the present invention, made from the material of [Fig.1].

[0037] With reference to [Fig. 1], the material 1 from which the gloves of the present invention are made is schematically illustrated. It may correspond to any material already known for making adhesive cloths known for cleaning car bodies, or to a new equivalent material.

[0038] In general, the material 1 for the glove of the present invention is capable of capturing dust and not linting. Preferably, this material does not release silicones.

[0039] The material 1 is in the form of a sheet and comprises polymer fibers associated with an adhesive product, also called "adhesive filler".

[0040] This adhesive filler is configured to have adhesive properties against dust during use; however, the filler is small so that it is only slightly sticky to the touch.

[0041] Preferably, the material 1 has an adhesive power which allows it to optimally capture dust with a particle size less than or equal to 500 pm.

[0042] The material 1, in the form of a sheet, has two main faces, of which at least one, but preferably both, have an adhesive power to dust thanks to the adhesive product.

[0043] The material of sheet 1 is used to manufacture a glove according to the present invention, that is to say an accessory of any shape provided that it can be put on the hand of a user.

[0044] Fig. 2 shows a first embodiment of this glove, designated by reference number 10, which is in the form of a pouch, that is to say, it has a single compartment - 11 - to accommodate all the fingers of a hand, in addition to the palm and the back.

[0045] Fig. 3 shows a second embodiment of the glove, indicated by reference number 20, which comprises five compartments - 22 -, each shaped to fit a respective finger of a hand, extending from a central compartment - 21 - fitting the palm and back of the hand.

[0046] Fig. 4 shows a third embodiment of the glove, indicated by reference number 30, which is mitten-shaped (also called a fingerless mitten), i.e. comprising a first compartment - 31 - in the form of a pocket, shaped to accommodate 4 fingers of one hand in addition to the palm and the back, and a second compartment developing from the first and shaped to fit the thumb of one hand - 32.

[0047] Figure 5 shows a fourth embodiment of the glove, indicated by reference number 40, which comprises a main compartment – ​​41 – for the back and palm of the hand and at least two compartments – 43, 44 – shaped to fit a group of fingers each. Preferably, an additional compartment – ​​42 – is also shaped to accommodate the thumb.

[0048] The examples justify the assertion that the glove may have a single compartment for all the fingers of the hand, as well as for the back and palm, or any number of compartments, each for one or more fingers.

[0049] In general, all gloves 10, 20 and 30 have a hand insertion slot tightened by an elastic band - 12 - to prevent the glove from slipping.

[0050] In general, all gloves 10, 20, and 30 comprise two main outer faces and two main inner faces, essentially corresponding to the palm and back of the hand, in which at least one of the main outer faces is adhesive due to the presence of the adhesive. Preferably, both faces are adhesive, and even more preferably, the inner faces are also adhesive, and the glove is reversible.

[0051] During use, the operator wears the glove-shaped material 1 on one hand and uses it to clean a car body simultaneously with a jet of compressed air. Pre-painting cleaning is thus more comfortable and convenient than with cloths of the known technique, which must necessarily be held tightly in the hand.
