Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a glove that allows air to enter as a measure against sweat generated on the hands during work. [Background technology]
[0002] Gloves made of watertight materials are widely used in various work sites, but as the work time increases, sweating from the hands causes the hands to become sticky inside the gloves, making work difficult. Therefore, it has been proposed to mold a pipe-shaped air supply channel integrally on the outer or inner surface of the glove, and to introduce air into the glove through this air supply pipe (a similar product is shown in Patent Document 1 below). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 57-196112 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] The above-mentioned conventional example is effective in reducing stickiness caused by sweat inside the glove, but sweat on the palm is difficult to evaporate, and improvements were needed from the perspective of comfort. In other words, sweat is mostly generated from the palm side, but since the palm side is in contact with the inside of the glove during work and has high resistance to airflow, air does not easily circulate to the palm side, and as a result, the stickiness on the palm side cannot be sufficiently eliminated.
[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to improve comfort during work. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] To achieve this object, the glove of the present invention comprises an outer glove and an inner glove that is detachably fitted inside the outer glove, the outer glove being made of a watertight material, the inner glove being made of a water-absorbent material, an air introduction pipe being arranged on the outer or inner side of the inner glove on the back of the hand, one end opening of the air introduction pipe being open on the outer or inner surface side of the inner glove, and the other end opening of the air introduction pipe being a connection part to an air introduction means. The air introduction pipe in the glove of the present invention is configured to be sewn to the inner glove with an elastic thread, and a non-sewn area of the thread is provided in a predetermined area from the opening side of one end of the air introduction pipe to the opening side of the other end. Furthermore, the air introduction pipe in the glove of the present invention is arranged on the outside of the back of the hand of the inner glove, and the thread with which this air introduction pipe is sewn to the inner glove, on the inner surface side of the outer glove, protrudes further than the outer surface of the air introduction pipe. The inner glove of the present invention is made of a water-absorbing and quick-drying material. [Effects of the Invention]
[0007] As described above, the glove of the present invention comprises an outer glove and an inner glove that is detachably fitted inside the outer glove, the outer glove being made of a watertight material, the inner glove being made of a water-absorbent material, an air inlet pipe being arranged on the outer or inner side of the inner glove on the back of the hand, one end opening of the air inlet pipe being open on the outer or inner surface side of the inner glove, and the other end opening of the air inlet pipe being a connection part to an air inlet means, thereby improving comfort during work. That is, the glove of the present invention has an inner glove that is detachably fitted inside the outer glove, and this inner glove is made of a water-absorbent material, so that sweat generated on the palm side is absorbed by the inner glove, diffused into the inner glove, and evaporated by air introduced through the air inlet pipe. As a result, the palms of your hands will no longer feel sticky while you work, allowing you to continue working comfortably. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 9] FIG. 10 is a plan view showing the inner glove of the same glove. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0009] (Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an outer glove 2 of a glove 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The outer glove 2 is a five-finger type and is made of soft rubber and soft synthetic resin, taking into consideration watertightness, chemical resistance, and electrical insulation.
[0010] FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the inner glove 3 of the glove 1. As shown in FIG. The inner glove 3 is also a five-finger type and is made of a moisture-absorbing and quick-drying material (for example, Triple Dry (registered trademark) Carat (registered trademark) manufactured by Teijin Frontier Co., Ltd.).
[0011] The user first puts his / her hand into the inner glove 3 through the opening 4 of the inner glove 3, and then inserts the hand wearing the inner glove 3 into the outer glove 2 through the opening 5 of the outer glove 2, as shown in Figure 3. A feature of this embodiment is that the inner glove 3 is made of a water-absorbing and quick-drying material, and that a plurality of air introduction pipes 6 are arranged on the outer side of the inner glove 3 on the back side of the hand, corresponding to each finger, as shown in Fig. 2. In this embodiment, a flexible silicone tube is used as an example of the air introduction pipes 6.
[0012] One end opening 7 of the air inlet pipe 6 is opened at the tip side of each finger on the outer surface side of the inner glove 3, and the other end opening 8 of each air inlet pipe 6 is connected to air inlet means 10 via a collection part 9. The other end opening 8 is arranged near the wrist. That is, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 (arrow B), air is introduced by air introduction means 10 such as a pump through the collecting section 9, the opening 8 on the other end side of the air introduction pipe 6, and the air introduction pipe 6 to the opening 7 on one end side of the air introduction pipe 6. At this time, the user puts on the inner glove 3 and then the outer glove 2 in that state.
[0013] Therefore, the air (arrow A) introduced into the opening 7 at one end of the air introduction pipe 6 via the air introduction means 10 and the collecting section 9 is supplied between the inner glove 3 and the outer glove 2. That is, the glove 1 of this embodiment is provided with an inner glove 3 that is removably attached inside the outer glove 2, and this inner glove 3 is made of a moisture-absorbing and quick-drying material, so that sweat generated on the palm side is absorbed by the inner glove 3, diffused within this inner glove 3, and then evaporated by air introduced through the opening 7 on one end side of the air inlet pipe 6. As a result, the palms of your hands will no longer feel sticky while you work, allowing you to continue working comfortably. Sweat tends to occur more on the palm side of the hand, but this sweat is absorbed by the inner glove 3 and widely dispersed. Therefore, even if the palm side surface of the inner glove 3 is close to the inside of the outer glove 2, increasing the resistance to airflow and making it difficult for air to circulate, the sweat dries quickly. As a result, the palm side of the hand does not become sticky during work, allowing for continuous comfortable work.
[0014] Other features of this embodiment will be described. As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the air inlet pipe 6 in the glove 1 of this embodiment is configured to be sewn to the inner glove 3 with a stretchable thread (for example, nylon thread) 11. Specifically, FIG. 5 is a plan view showing the inner glove 3, FIG. 6 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view showing the inner glove 3, and FIG. As can be seen from these drawings, the air introduction pipe 6 is fixed to the outer surface of the inner glove 3 by zigzag stitching using an upper thread 11a and a lower thread 11b. Moreover, one end side and the other end side of the air introduction pipe 6 are closely sewn with the thread 11 (zigzag stitches are close to each other) to prevent fraying.
[0015] The attachment of the air introduction pipe 6 by the thread 11 has the following two features. The first feature is that a non-sewn area 12 of the thread 11 is provided in a predetermined area from the one end opening 7 side to the other end opening 8 of the air inlet pipe 6. The non-sewn area 12 is a predetermined range including the one end opening 7, and is a part of the finger part of the inner glove 3 that is located near the fingertips. That is, in order to make the hand closing and opening (opening and closing) movements smooth, it is important that the air introduction pipe 6 is made of an elastic material, but it is also important that the string 11 is elastic and that the air introduction pipe 6 is not tightly constrained by the string 11. However, with such a configuration, as the hand is repeatedly opened and closed, the opening 7 at one end of the air intake pipe 6 may move toward the opening 8 at the other end, causing the opening 7 at one end to fall out of the restraint state provided by the thread 11.
[0016] Therefore, in this embodiment, a non-sewn area 12 for the thread 11 is provided in a predetermined area from the opening 7 on one end side of the air intake pipe 6 toward the opening 8 on the other end side. By providing the non-sewn area 12 of the thread 11 in this way, even if the air introduction pipe 6 moves toward the other end opening 8 due to repeated opening and closing of the hand, it is possible to prevent the one end opening 7 of the air introduction pipe 6 from falling off from the state of being restrained by the thread 11.
[0017] The second feature is that, as shown in FIG. 6, the air introduction pipe 6 is arranged on the outside of the back of the hand of the inner glove 3, and the thread 11 with which the air introduction pipe 6 is sewn to the inner glove 3 protrudes, on the inner surface side of the outer glove 2, beyond the outer surface of the air introduction pipe 6. In other words, the thread 11 is not embedded in the outer surface of the air introduction pipe 6, but is configured to protrude toward the inner surface of the outer glove 2 from the outer surface of the air introduction pipe 6. Therefore, the thread 11 comes into contact with the inner surface of the outer glove 2, which acts as a resistance to movement, and as a result, the inner glove 3 is less likely to slip inside the outer glove 2, which also improves comfort during use.
[0018] In a modification of this embodiment, the thread 11 is embedded in the outer surface of the air introduction pipe 6, and is flush with the inner surface of the air introduction pipe 6. Alternatively, the thread 11 is located more inward of the air introduction pipe 6 than the inner surface of the air introduction pipe 6.
[0019] In the above embodiment, a plurality of air introduction pipes 6 corresponding to each finger are arranged on the outside of the inner glove 3 on the back side of the hand, and one end opening 7 of the air introduction pipes 6 is opened on the outer surface side of the inner glove 3. However, in this state, one end opening 7 of the air introduction pipes 6 may be passed through the inner glove 3 and opened on the inside of the inner glove 3.
[0020] In addition, in this embodiment, the air introduction pipe 6 is arranged on the outer surface side of the inner glove 3, but in another embodiment, the air introduction pipe 6 may be arranged on the inner surface on the back side of the inner glove 3, as shown in Figures 8 and 9. In this other embodiment, a plurality of air introduction pipes 6 corresponding to each finger are arranged inside the inner glove 3 on the back side of the hand, and one end opening 7 of the air introduction pipe 6 is opened on the inner surface side of the inner glove 3, but one end opening 7 of the air introduction pipe 6 may also pass through the inner glove 3 and open on the outer surface side of the inner glove 3.
[0021] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various design modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the scope of the claims.
