Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to gloves. [Background technology]

[0002] Gloves are meant to be worn by one person, and usually when two people hold hands directly, they must remove the gloves. When the outside temperature is low, removing the gloves exposes bare hands, so people have to endure the cold when holding hands.

[0003] Therefore, gloves that allow people to hold hands directly while wearing them have been proposed (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). Patent Document 1 discloses gloves with two openings in a bag-shaped main body, and describes that people can hold hands directly inside the main body by inserting their hands through each opening. Patent Document 2 discloses mitten-type gloves with long fingers and openings at the tips into which people can insert their hands. By using the gloves of Patent Documents 1 and 2 with such a structure, one person can wear the gloves and the other person can insert their hand through the opening at the tip of the gloves, allowing them to hold hands directly inside the gloves without taking them off.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3024744 [Patent Document 2] JP 2013-227693 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, the glove in Patent Document 1 is simply designed so that two people can put their hands into the bag-shaped main body at the same time, and does not have a structure for use as a glove. In addition, the gloves of Patent Document 2 also have an opening at the tip of the glove, making them difficult to use as general gloves.

[0006] In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a glove that has the functionality of a glove and allows two people to hold hands directly while wearing the glove. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The glove of the first invention comprises a glove body having an internal space for accommodating a hand, and a tubular portion having a hollow space whose base end is connected to the side surface of the glove body on the little finger side, the tubular portion having a hollow space at its base end which communicates with the internal space of the glove body through a side opening formed on the side surface of the glove body on the little finger side, and a tip opening at its tip which communicates between the hollow space and the outside. The glove of the second invention is the glove of the first invention, characterized in that the tubular portion can be accommodated in the internal space of the glove body through the side opening. The glove of a third invention is the glove of the second invention, characterized in that the length from a base end to a tip end of the tubular portion is 2 to 5 times the length of the main body portion in the width direction. The glove of the fourth invention is the glove of the first invention, characterized in that the glove body is provided with a tubular sleeve portion continuing from a base end opening for inserting a hand into the internal space of the glove body. The glove of the fifth invention is characterized in that, in the first invention, the glove body is formed into a mitten shape. Effect of the Invention

[0008] According to the first invention, when one person is wearing a glove and the other person inserts his or her hand through the tip opening of the cylindrical portion, the hands can be directly held within the internal space of the glove body or within the hollow space of the cylindrical portion. According to the second aspect of the present invention, by storing the tubular portion within the internal space of the glove body, the glove can be used in the same way as a normal glove. According to the third aspect of the invention, the tubular portion does not become bulky even when housed in the internal space of the glove body, and therefore the feeling of use in that state can be improved. According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the arms can be covered with the sleeves, improving protection against the cold. According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to improve the warmth retention of fingers. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] The gloves of this embodiment can be used by two people holding hands directly, and can also be used as gloves for one person.

[0011] <Glove 1 of this embodiment> As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a glove 1 of the present embodiment includes a glove body 2 and a tubular portion 10 connected to the glove body 2.

[0012] <Glove body 2> The glove body 2 has a main body portion 2a and a finger portion 2f provided on a side surface of the main body portion 2a. The main body portion 2a has an opening (proximal end opening) at its proximal end for inserting the hand into the main body portion 2a, and the finger portion 2f communicates with the inside of the main body portion 2a at its proximal end. In other words, the glove body 2 is formed in a mitten shape, and when a hand is inserted through the proximal end opening of the main body portion 2a, the thumb is accommodated in the finger portion 2f and the rest of the hand is accommodated in the main body portion 2a, so that the entire hand can be accommodated within the internal space of the glove body 2.

[0013] In the above example, the glove body 2 is a mitten type in which the four fingers other than the thumb are accommodated in the main body 2a, but the structure of the glove body 2 is not particularly limited as long as it can accommodate the entire hand. For example, the main body 2a may have a structure having four finger portions that can independently accommodate the four fingers other than the thumb.

[0014] <Side opening 2b> As shown in Fig. 1(A), a side opening 2b is formed on the side opposite to the side where the finger portion 2f is provided, that is, on the little finger side of the main body portion 2a of the glove body 2. This side opening 2b is an opening that communicates the internal space 2h of the main body portion 2a with the outside.

[0015] <Cylindrical portion 10> As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, the base end of the tubular portion 10 is connected to the side surface of the main body portion 2a on the little finger side. The tubular portion 10 has a tubular structure having a hollow space 10h (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as space 10h) inside, and the edge of the base end is connected to the periphery of the side opening 2b of the main body portion 2a or its vicinity so that the opening of the base end covers the side opening 2b of the main body portion 2a. Specifically, the tubular portion 10 is configured so that the space 10h communicates with the internal space 2h of the main body portion 2a via the base end opening and the side opening 2b of the tubular portion 10 (see the circle in Fig. 1(A)). In addition, the tubular portion 10 also has an opening (tip opening 10c) at its tip, so that the internal space 2h of the main body portion 2a communicates with the outside via the tubular portion 10.

[0016] With the above-mentioned configuration, when the glove 1 of this embodiment is worn, the wearer can hold hands directly while wearing the glove 1. For example, since the cylindrical portion 10 has a tip opening 10c at the tip, a person other than the person wearing the glove 1 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the wearer) can insert his / her hand into the cylindrical portion 10 through the tip opening 10c. Then, if the person wearing the glove 1 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the wearer) also inserts his / her hand into the cylindrical portion 10, he / she can hold hands directly inside the cylindrical portion 10. Also, if the wearer inserts his / her hand into the internal space 2h of the main body portion 2a, the wearer and the wearer can hold hands directly inside the internal space 2h of the main body portion 2a (see FIG. 1(A)).

[0017] When the glove 1 of this embodiment is worn, two wearers can hold hands directly while both wear the glove 1. For example, as shown in FIG. 1(B), the tubular part 10 of the glove 1A worn on the right hand of one wearer is inserted into the tubular part 10 of the glove 1B worn on the left hand of the other wearer. Then, the glove 1A and the glove 1B are communicated with each other through the tubular part 10 in the internal space 2h of the main body part 2a, so that if one wearer and the other wearer put their hands into the space 10h of the tubular part 10, they can hold hands directly in the space 10h of the tubular part 10. Also, if one wearer puts his hand into the internal space 2h of the main body part 2a of the other wearer, they can hold hands directly in the internal space 2h of the main body part 2a of the other wearer while both wearers are wearing the glove 1.

[0018] In addition, even if people are holding hands as shown in Fig. 1(B), they can easily separate gloves 1A and 1B by simply letting go of their hands and moving away from each other, ensuring safety. For example, if people are walking through a crowd holding hands as shown in Fig. 1(B) and a third party comes between them, they can avoid the third party by simply letting go of their hands. In other words, even if people are holding hands as shown in Fig. 1(B), they can respond in the same way as if they were holding hands with bare hands.

[0019] Also, by folding the tubular portion 10 from the tip side toward the base side, the tubular portion 10 can be accommodated in the internal space 2h of the main body portion 2a through the side opening 2b. Then, as shown in FIG. 3(B), the glove 1 of this embodiment can have the same appearance as a normal glove in a front view. That is, the glove 1 of this embodiment can be used in the same way as a normal glove if the tubular portion 10 is accommodated in the internal space 2h of the main body portion 2a. In particular, if the accommodated tubular portion 10 is positioned on the back side of the hand, the accommodated tubular portion 10 does not get in the way when grasping an object. Therefore, the glove 1 of this embodiment can be used in the same way as a normal glove.

[0020] Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3(C), when the tubular portion 10 is accommodated in the internal space 2h of the main body portion 2a through the side opening 2b, a space connected to the inside of the main body portion 2a is formed on the side of the main body portion 2a through the side opening 2b and the tip opening 10c of the tubular portion 10. That is, a space communicating with the space 10h of the tubular portion 10 accommodated in the main body portion 2a through the tip opening 10c of the tubular portion 10, and a space communicating with the outside through the side opening 2b formed between the folded tubular portion 10 through the side opening 2b (hereinafter, both may be referred to as the accommodation space) are formed. Then, an object can be put into this accommodation space through the side opening 2b or the tip opening 10c. For example, if a heat-retaining member such as a pocket warmer is put into the accommodation space through the side opening 2b or the tip opening 10c, the heat retention of the hand can be improved. Moreover, since the tubular portion 10 is present between the heat-retaining member and the hand, the heat-retaining member does not come into direct contact with the hand, so there is no need to worry about low-temperature burns, etc. You can also put things you want to store temporarily and have quick access to, such as tickets, smartphones, etc.

[0021] In addition, even when the cylindrical portion 10 is extended, it is possible to put an object into the internal space 2h of the main body portion 2a through the cylindrical portion 10. Therefore, if an object that is to be held by a person and used by hand and is preferably held with bare hands is put into the internal space 2h of the main body portion 2a through the cylindrical portion 10, the object can be used while wearing gloves. For example, a lead used for walking a dog can be put into the internal space 2h of the main body portion 2a through the cylindrical portion 10, so that when wearing the gloves 1 of this embodiment, the handle of the lead can be firmly held with bare hands while walking a dog. In addition, if the gloves 1 of this embodiment are worn when skipping rope, the handle can be put into the internal space 2h of the main body portion 2a, so that the handle of the skipping rope can be firmly held with bare hands while keeping the hands warm. In addition, if the handle of a cane or the like is put into the main body portion 2a through the cylindrical portion 10, the handle of the cane can be firmly held even while wearing the gloves 1 of this embodiment, so that the cane can be used stably even on cold days.

[0022] The cylindrical portion 10 is not particularly limited in size or shape as long as it is formed so that a person can insert his / her hand and directly hold the hand as described above. However, as described above, it is preferable that the cylindrical portion 10 is formed so that the cylindrical portion 10 can be accommodated in the main body portion 2a through the side opening 2b. For example, if the cylindrical portion 10 is formed of a fabric of a thickness and material generally used for gloves, the cylindrical portion 10 can be accommodated in the main body portion 2a through the side opening 2b by forming the length L2 (see FIG. 2(A)) of the cylindrical portion 10 to be about 2 to 5 times the width direction length L1 (see FIG. 2(A)) of the main body portion 2a. The length L2, width, etc. of the cylindrical portion 10 may be appropriately adjusted depending on the fabric forming the cylindrical portion 10.

[0023] The material for forming the glove body 2 and the tubular portion 10 is not particularly limited, and materials generally used for gloves can be used. For example, the glove body 2 and the tubular portion 10 can be made of knit materials made from wool, cashmere, angora, or other hair, cotton, silk, chemical fibers such as nylon and acrylic, satin, denim, velvet, natural leather such as cowhide and suede, artificial leather, rubber material, etc. The glove body 2 and the tubular portion 10 may be made of different materials or the same material.

[0024] <About glove body 2> The side opening 2b of the glove body 2 is not particularly limited in size or shape as long as it is formed so that a person's hand or the tubular part 10 can be inserted through the side opening 2b into the internal space 2h of the main body 2a. For example, as shown in Fig. 2(C), the side opening 2b may be formed as a slit along the axial direction on the side surface of the little finger side of the main body 2a.

[0025] <Sleeve part 2c> As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, the glove 1 of this embodiment may be provided with a tubular sleeve 2c continuing from the opening at the base end (base end opening) of the main body 2a. In other words, the sleeve 2c may be provided so as to cover the wrist to forearm when the glove 1 of this embodiment is worn. By providing such a sleeve 2c, the sleeve 2c can cover a certain part of the forearm when the glove 1 of this embodiment is worn, improving the warmth of the arm. In addition, if the sleeve 2c is made of a flexible material, it can be turned inside out and rolled up, so that the length of the arm covered by the sleeve 2c can be adjusted according to the surrounding temperature, etc. The length L3 of the sleeve 2c (see Fig. 3(A)) is not particularly limited. For example, it may be a length that covers the elbow, or a length that covers a part of the upper arm or the entire upper arm. [Industrial Applicability]

[0026] The glove of the present invention is suitable as a glove that allows two people to hold hands while wearing the glove. [Explanation of symbols]
