Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. For the ease of understanding the description, the same reference numerals are given to the same components in each drawing as much as possible, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0010] Figure 1 is an external view showing the right hand side of the glove 2 according to the present embodiment. Since the left hand side of the glove 2 has a symmetrical form to the right hand side, only the right hand side will be described, and the description of the left hand side will be omitted.

[0011] As shown in Figure 1, the glove 2 according to the present embodiment includes a base end portion 21, a first accommodating portion 23, and a second accommodating portion 22. The first accommodating portion 23 is a portion for accommodating the thumb. The second accommodating portion 22 is a portion for accommodating the four fingers other than the thumb. The base end portion 21 is a portion for accommodating the wrist. The base end portion 21 is connected to the first accommodating portion 23 and the second accommodating portion 22.

[0012] An opening / closing mechanism 24 for opening and closing the second accommodating portion 22 is provided in the second accommodating portion 22. The opening / closing mechanism 24 is provided in the second accommodating portion 22 from the side of the first accommodating portion 23 and the base end portion 21 side toward the tip portion on the side opposite to the side connected to the base end portion 21 of the second accommodating portion 22. The opening / closing mechanism 24 is provided obliquely so as to be away from the first accommodating portion 23 from the base end portion 21 side toward the tip portion.

[0013] The opening / closing mechanism 24 is provided from the first position 221 which is on the side of the first accommodating portion 23 and the base end portion 21 side of the second accommodating portion 22 to the second position 222 at the tip end portion in the second accommodating portion 22. The opening / closing mechanism 24 is a slide fastener. From the state shown in FIG. 1, by moving the slider of the slide fastener from the first position 221 side to the second position 222 side, the second accommodating portion 22 can be opened.

[0014] The state where the second accommodating portion 22 is opened is shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 2, when the second accommodating portion 22 is opened, it is in a state where the middle finger and the index finger including the thumb can be easily extended outward, and this state can be maintained. From the state shown in FIG. 2, by moving the fingers back inside and moving the slider of the slide fastener from the second position 222 side to the first position 221 side, the second accommodating portion 22 can be closed.

[0015] [Supplementary Note] The following Supplementary Notes 1 to 3 can be arbitrarily combined as long as they are not technically contradictory.

[0016] [Supplementary Note 1] A first accommodating portion 23 for accommodating the thumb, A second accommodating portion 22 for accommodating fingers other than the thumb, A base end portion 21 that is connected to the first accommodating portion 23 and the second accommodating portion 22 and is for accommodating the wrist, and An opening / closing mechanism 24 for opening and closing the second accommodating portion 22 is provided so as to move away from the first accommodating portion 23 from the first position 221 which is on the side of the first accommodating portion 23 and the base end portion 21 side of the second accommodating portion 22 toward the tip end portion on the side opposite to the side connected to the base end portion 21 of the second accommodating portion 22, glove 2.

[0017] According to Supplementary Note 1, since the opening and closing mechanism 24 is provided at the first position 221 on the side of the first accommodating portion 23 and the base end portion 21 side of the second accommodating portion 22, the opening and closing mechanism 24 can be disposed near the base of the thumb to be accommodated in the first accommodating portion 23. Since the opening and closing mechanism 24 is provided so as to be separated from the first accommodating portion 23 from the first position 221 toward the tip of the second accommodating portion 22, it is provided so as to straddle at least a part of the four fingers from near the base of the thumb toward the tips of the other four fingers. When the second accommodating portion 22 is opened by operating the opening and closing mechanism 24, the second accommodating portion 22 is opened so as to cross at least the index finger from near the base of the thumb, so that at least the index finger can be easily extended out from the thumb. Since the opening and closing mechanism 24 is provided so as to obliquely cross the second accommodating portion 22, the opening and closing mechanism 24 can be provided longer and a larger opening can be obtained as compared with the case of being disposed along the finger, so that it is also easy to extend the entire hand out.

[0018] In the above embodiment, a slide fastener is exemplified as the opening and closing mechanism 24, but the opening and closing mechanism 24 is not limited thereto. As the opening and closing mechanism, for example, a mechanism that holds a linear opening portion in a closed state like a hook-and-loop fastener and can be opened can also be adopted. Further, as the slide fastener of the opening and closing mechanism 24, an example is given in which the second accommodating portion 22 is opened by moving from the first position 221 side to the second position 222 side, but conversely, the second accommodating portion 22 may be opened by moving it. Further, an example is given in which the second accommodating portion 22 accommodates the four fingers other than the thumb in one space, but the second accommodating portion 22 is not limited thereto. The second accommodating portion can also be in a form divided into, for example, a space for accommodating the index finger and a space for accommodating the middle finger, ring finger, and little finger.

[0019] [Supplementary Note 2] The glove 2 according to Supplementary Note 1, wherein the opening and closing mechanism 24 is provided from the first position 221 to the second position 222 at the central portion of the tip.

[0020] According to Supplementary Note 2, since the opening and closing mechanism 24 is provided from the first position 221 to the second position at the center of the tip of the second housing portion 22, it is provided so as to straddle the index finger and the middle finger from near the base of the thumb. When the second housing portion 22 is opened by operating the opening and closing mechanism 24, the second housing portion 22 is opened so as to intersect the index finger and the middle finger from near the base of the thumb, so that the index finger, the middle finger, and the thumb can be easily extended outward from the thumb. Therefore, without performing an operation such as greatly rolling up the entire glove 2, it is possible to maintain the state in which the frequently used middle finger, index finger, and thumb are extended outward. As a result, stress around the fingers can be suppressed, and the intrusion of cold air can be suppressed. On the other hand, since the ring finger and the little finger, which are less frequently used, can be held inside the glove 2, heat retention can be ensured. As described with reference to FIG. 2, by obliquely providing the opening and closing mechanism 24 from near the base of the thumb between the middle finger and the ring finger, the thumb, index finger, and middle finger can be naturally extended outward, and the fabric of the glove 2 tends to lean toward the little finger side. For example, when taking a camera shot using the thumb, index finger, and middle finger, it is possible to avoid the situation where the fabric of the glove 2 accidentally covers the lens.

[0021] Note that the "central portion" does not mean the exact center at the tip of the second housing portion 22, but includes the region corresponding to the middle finger and the ring finger housed in the second housing portion 22.

[0022] [Supplementary Note 3] The opening and closing mechanism 24 is a slide fastener, and the second housing portion 22 is opened by moving the slider from the first position 221 side to the second position 222 side, and the second housing portion 22 is closed by moving the slider from the second position 222 side to the first position 221 side. The glove 2 according to Supplementary Note 1 or 2.

[0023] According to Supplementary Note 3, since the slider is moved toward the fingertip side to open the second storage portion 22, various usage modes can be provided, such as moving the slider slightly toward the fingertip side from the first position 221 to extend only the thumb outward, or extending only the index finger outward while keeping the thumb inside. Also, since the slider is moved toward the wrist side to close the second storage portion 22, in the closed state, the slider does not remain on the fingertip side, and events such as breakage or snagging can be reduced.

[0024] As described above, the present embodiment has been explained with reference to specific examples. However, the present disclosure is not limited to these specific examples. Those obtained by appropriately making design changes by those skilled in the art to these specific examples are also included in the scope of the present disclosure as long as they have the features of the present disclosure. Each element included in each of the above-described specific examples and its arrangement, conditions, shape, etc. are not limited to those illustrated and can be changed as appropriate. Each element included in each of the above-described specific examples can be combined as appropriate as long as no technical contradiction occurs.
