Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to gloves.

Background Art

[0002] In the medical field, when swelling appears in the fingers, keeping the good limb position is used to prevent finger contracture. Also, even if contracture occurs, the good limb position is such that hand dysfunction is unlikely to occur.

[0003] Regarding after trauma or surgery, in order to prevent the occurrence of swelling, a method called bulky dressing is often used, in which the fingers and hand are compressed with gauze and bandages and the good limb position is maintained. However, the fingers and hand are wound around like the hand of Doraemon with bandages or the like, completely restraining the patient's fingers and causing a significant decline in QOL (Quality of Life).

[0004] Swelling occurs due to various causes such as after trauma or surgery, lymphedema, and after treatment with anticancer drugs. Among these, regarding lymphedema alone, although various gloves for reducing swelling are currently commercially available, the primary purpose is compression and there is no consideration for the good limb position. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a glove for relieving swelling. Patent Documents 2 to 4 describe supporters for supporting hand joints.

[0005] Currently, there is no glove aimed at keeping the good limb position, and there is no report on the manufacturing technology.

[0007] When severe swelling of the fingers occurs after trauma, surgery, lymphedema, or chemotherapy, the swelling often does not subside easily and can later lead to finger contractures. This symptom can persist for a long time and may not completely resolve. The invention of gloves that not only prevent swelling but also maintain a good limb position can prevent finger contractures, minimize functional impairment of the hand if contractures do occur, and do not impair the quality of life of patients undergoing treatment. There is a need for gloves that suppress lymphedema and maintain a good limb position.

[0008] The purpose of this disclosure is to solve these problems and to provide a glove that suppresses lymphedema and maintains a good limb position. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] A glove according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a first knitted portion, which is knitted by a first knitting method, located on at least one portion of the fingertip portion that covers the fingertips and the palm portion that covers the palm, such that the fingertips and palm are bent inward.

[0010] The gloves described above may include a second knitted portion, which is located in at least one part of the portion on the back of the fingers that covers the back of the fingers and the portion on the back of the hand that covers the back of the hand, and which is knitted using a second knitting method different from the first knitting method.

[0011] In the gloves described above, a third knitted portion knitted using a third knitting method may be provided, which is located on at least one part of the portion covering the back of the wrist, so that the wrist bends outward.

[0012] In the gloves described above, a fourth knitted portion may be provided, which is located in at least one part of the inner portion of the wrist that covers the inside of the wrist, and which is knitted using a fourth knitting method different from the third knitting method.

[0013] In the gloves described above, the first knitting method may include at least one of tuck knit, smooth knit, rib knit and intarsia knit, and the second knitting method may include at least one of links knit and jersey knit.

[0014] In the gloves described above, the first knitting method may include short-row knitting with a portion where no stitches are made, and the second knitting method may include short-row knitting with an increased number of stitches.

[0015] In the gloves described above, the stitches of the first knitting method may be finer than the stitches of the second knitting method.

[0016] In the gloves described above, the first knitting method may include full-needle knitting, and the second knitting method may include needle-out knitting.

[0017] In the gloves described above, the first knitting method and the second knitting method include inlay knitting with elastic fibers, and the first knitted portion may be more easily shrinkable than the second knitted portion, and the second knitted portion may be more easily stretchable than the first knitted portion.

[0018] In the gloves described above, the first knitting method may include a different knitting method from the third knitting method.

[0019] In the gloves described above, the first knitting method may include the same knitting method as the third knitting method.

[0020] In the gloves described above, the boundary between the back of the hand portion and the back of the wrist portion may include a V-shaped smooth knit portion that protrudes from the back of the hand portion. [Effects of the Invention]

[0021] The present disclosure provides a glove that can suppress hand lymphatic edema while maintaining a good limb position.

[Figure 21] This figure illustrates a state in which another glove according to Embodiment 1 is worn. [Figure 22] This figure illustrates a state in which another glove according to Embodiment 1 is worn. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0023] (Embodiment 1) The glove according to Embodiment 1 will be described with reference to the figures. Figure 1 is an example of a hand wearing the glove 10 according to Embodiment 1. Figure 2 is an example of a hand 20 before wearing the glove 10 according to Embodiment 1. Figure 3 is an example of a hand wearing another glove 10 according to Embodiment 1. As shown in Figure 1, the glove 10 may have a length that covers the elbow 24, or as shown in Figure 3, the glove 10 may have a length that includes the wrist 23.

[0024] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the glove 10 of this embodiment corrects the shape of the hand 20 wearing it by pulling the fingertips 21H and palm 22H inward. Furthermore, by pulling the fingertips 21H and palm 22H inward, the glove 10 of this embodiment can suppress lymphedema through the compression pressure of the highly adhesive knit fabric while maintaining a good limb position. In addition, the glove 10 of this embodiment pulls the hand 20 wearing it up from the wrist 23 so that the wrist 23 bends outward. This allows the hand 20 to be held in a more ideal position.

[0025] As shown in Figure 2, the hand 20 has fingers 21, a hand portion 22, and a wrist 23. The hand portion 22 does not include the fingers 21. The direction from the wrist 23 along the fingertips 21A is called the fingertip side. The direction from the fingertips 21A along the wrist 23 is called the wrist side. Thus, in the hand 20, the fingers 21, the hand portion 22, and the wrist 23 are connected from the fingertips 21A toward the wrist 23. The fingers 21 include the fingertips 21H and the back of the fingers 21K. The hand portion 22 includes the palm 22H and the back of the hand 22K. The wrist 23 includes the inner side of the wrist 23H and the back of the wrist 23K.

[0026] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the glove 10 has finger portions 11, hand portions 12, and wrist portions 13, in that order from the fingertips 21A toward the wrist 23. The hand portions 12 do not include the finger portions 11. The finger portions 11, hand portions 12, and wrist portions 13 are connected toward the fingertips 21A toward the wrist 23. The wrist side of the finger portions 11 connects to the fingertip side of the hand portions 12. The wrist side of the hand portions 12 connects to the fingertip side of the wrist portions 13.

[0027] The finger portion 11 of the glove 10 covers the fingers 21. The hand portion 12 of the glove 10 covers the hand portion 22. The wrist portion 13 of the glove 10 covers the wrist 23.

[0028] The finger portion 11 includes the pad portion 11H and the dorsal portion 11K. The pad portion 11H covers the pad 21H. The dorsal portion 11K covers the dorsal portion 21K. Hereafter, for the sake of explanation, the pad portion 11H may be referred to as the fingertip (portion 11H), and the dorsal portion 11K may be referred to as the dorsal portion (portion 11K).

[0029] The hand portion 12 includes the palm portion 12H and the back of the hand portion 12K. The palm portion 12H covers the palm 22H. The back of the hand (portion 12K) covers the back of the hand 22K. Hereafter, for the sake of explanation, the palm portion 12H may be referred to as the palm (portion 12H), and the back of the hand portion 12K may be referred to as the back of the hand (portion 12K).

[0030] The wrist portion 13 includes the inner wrist portion 13H and the back of the wrist portion 13K. The inner wrist portion 13H covers the inner wrist portion 23H. The back of the wrist portion 13K covers the back of the wrist portion 23K. Hereafter, for the sake of explanation, the inner wrist portion 13H may be referred to as the inner wrist (portion 13H), and the back of the wrist portion 13K may be referred to as the back of the wrist (portion 13K).

[0031] The fingertips (part 11H), palm (part 12H), and wrist area (part 13H) are connected from the fingertips 21A toward the wrist 23. The wrist side of the fingertips (part 11H) connects to the fingertip side of the palm (part 12H). The wrist side of the palm (part 12H) connects to the fingertip side of the wrist area (part 13H). The finger back (part 11K), hand back (part 12K), and wrist back (part 13K) are connected from the fingertips 21A toward the wrist 23. The wrist side of the finger back (part 11K) connects to the fingertip side of the hand back (part 12K). The wrist side of the hand back (part 12K) connects to the fingertip side of the wrist back (part 13K).

[0032] The fingertips (part 11H) and the back of the fingers (part 11K) are connected at the sides of each finger 21. The palm (part 12H) and the back of the hand (part 12K) are connected at the sides of part 22 of the hand. The inside of the wrist (part 13H) and the back of the wrist (part 13K) are connected at the sides of the wrist 23.

[0033] The glove 10 comprises a first knitted section 31 knitted using a first knitting method. The first knitted section 31 is located on at least one part of the fingertip (section 11H) and the palm (section 12H). The first knitted section 31 may be located throughout the entire fingertip (section 11H) and the palm (section 12H). The first knitted section 31 may be located on at least one part of the fingertip (section 11H). The first knitted section 31 may be located on at least one part of the palm (section 12H). For convenience of explanation, the fingertip (section 11H) and the palm (section 12H) may be collectively referred to as the first region 41.

[0034] The glove 10 may have a second knitted section 32 knitted using a second knitting method. The second knitting method may be different from the first knitting method. The second knitted section 32 is located on at least one part of the finger (section 11K) and the back of the hand (section 12K). The second knitted section 32 may be located throughout the entire finger (section 11K) and the back of the hand (section 12K). The second knitted section 32 may be located on at least one part of the finger (section 11K). The second knitted section 32 may be located on at least one part of the back of the hand (section 12K). For convenience of explanation, the finger (section 11K) and the back of the hand (section 12K) may be collectively referred to as the second region 42.

[0035] The glove 10 includes a third knitted section 33 knitted using a third knitting method. The third knitted section 33 is located on at least one part of the back of the wrist (section 13K). The third knitted section 33 may be located throughout the entire back of the wrist (section 13K). For convenience of explanation, the back of the wrist (section 13K) may be referred to as the third region 43.

[0036] The glove 10 may have a fourth knitted section 34 knitted using a fourth knitting method. The fourth knitting method may be different from the third knitting method. The fourth knitted section 34 is located in at least one part of the inside of the wrist (section 13H). The fourth knitted section 34 may be located throughout the entire inner section 13K of the wrist. For convenience of explanation, the inside of the wrist (section 13H) may be referred to as the fourth region 44.

[0037] Figure 4 illustrates the first knitting method according to Embodiment 1. Figure 5 illustrates the second knitting method according to Embodiment 1. Figure 6 illustrates the third knitting method according to Embodiment 1. Figure 7 illustrates the fourth knitting method according to Embodiment 1. Note that the specific examples of the first to fourth knitting methods are illustrative and may include knitting methods other than those shown in the figures.

[0038] As shown in Figure 4, the first knitting method may include at least one of the methods in Group A. The methods in Group A include tuck knitting, smooth knitting, short row knitting / fabric reduction, rib knit tuck knitting, intarsia knitting, full needle knitting, inlay knitting, and stitch-tightening knitting. The first knitting method may also include plain knitting if the second knitting method includes a predetermined knitting method.

[0039] The first knitting method may be a method with a different stitch size compared to the second knitting method. For example, the stitches of the first knitting method may be finer than those of the second knitting method. Also, the first knitting method may not include full-needle knitting. In that case, the second knitting method may include needle-off knitting. This makes it possible to make the stitches of the first knitting method finer than those of the second knitting method.

[0040] The first and second knitting methods may include inlay knitting with rubber or other elastic fibers to provide elasticity. The elasticity of the elastic fibers in the first knitted section 31 may differ from that of the elastic fibers in the second knitted section 32. Specifically, the first knitted section 31 is more prone to shrinking than the second knitted section 32. The second knitted section 32 is more prone to stretching than the first knitted section 31.

[0041] The first knitting method may include short rows with sections where no stitches are made. In this case, the second knitting method may include short rows with increased stitches. The first knitting method is not limited to these methods, as long as it is a method that bends the fingertips 21H and palm 22H inward.

[0042] As shown in Figure 5, the second knitting method may include at least one of the methods in Group B. The methods in Group B may include short-row knitting, fabric decreasing, intarsia knitting, loose stitch knitting, needle-out knitting, and links knitting. Furthermore, the second knitting method may include plain knitting if the first knitting method includes the specified knitting method. In other words, the methods in Group B may include plain knitting.

[0043] The second knitting method may be one in which the stitch size is different from that of the first knitting method. For example, the stitches of the second knitting method may be coarser than those of the first knitting method. Also, the second knitting method may not include needle slip stitches. In that case, the first knitting method may include full needle knitting. This makes it possible to make the stitches of the first knitting method finer than those of the second knitting method.

[0044] As mentioned above, the first and second knitting methods may include inlay knitting with rubber or other elastic fibers to provide elasticity. The second knitted section 32 may be more stretchable than the first knitted section 31. The first knitted section 31 may be more shrinkable than the second knitted section 32.

[0045] The second knitting method may include short rows with increased stitches. In this case, the first knitting method may include short rows with sections where no stitches are made. The second knitting method is not limited to these methods, as long as it is a method that bends the fingertips 21H and palm 22H inward.

[0046] As shown in Figure 6, the third knitting method may include at least one of the methods in Group A, similar to the first knitting method. The third knitting method selected from Figure 6 may include the same knitting method as the first knitting method selected from Figure 4, or it may include a different knitting method. For example, if the first knitting method includes tuck knitting, the third knitting method may also include tuck knitting. Alternatively, if the first knitting method includes tuck knitting, the third knitting method may not include tuck knitting but may include smooth knitting. Note that the third knitting method is not limited to these methods, as long as it is a knitting method that causes the wrist 23 to bend outward.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 7, the fourth knitting method may include at least any one of Group B, similar to the second knitting method. The fourth knitting method selected from FIG. 7 may include the same knitting method as the second knitting method selected from FIG. 5, or may include a different knitting method. For example, when the second knitting method includes a links knitting, the fourth knitting method may include a links knitting. Also, when the second knitting method includes a links knitting, the fourth knitting method may not include a links knitting and may include a plain knitting. Note that the fourth knitting method is not limited to these knitting methods as long as the wrist 23 is warped outward.

[0048] The stretching manner of the fabric knitted by the knitting methods of FIGS. 4 to 7 may be as shown in the following formula (1). Here, the ease of stretching of the plain knitting may be used as a reference.

[0049] Group A < Plain knitting < Group B (1)

[0050] Basically, by performing a knitting method that does not stretch in the direction to be bent (for example, the fingertip 21H side and the palm 22H side, and the back of the wrist 23K), the fabric of the knitting method that stretches on the opposite side loses and a reaction force is generated. Note that depending on the product, there may be a partial knitting method contrary to the above for reasons such as prioritizing the fit feeling and various other reasons.

[0051] The arm portion 14 shown in FIG. 1 may be knitted by a plain knitting, or may be knitted by other knitting methods.

[0052] Figures 8 to 19 illustrate knitting methods according to Embodiment 1. Figure 8 shows tuck knitting, Figure 9 shows plain knitting, Figure 10 shows smooth knitting, Figure 11 shows rib knitting in links knitting, Figure 12 shows garter stitch in links knitting, Figure 13 shows short row knitting with sections where no stitches are made, Figure 14 shows short row knitting knitted to increase stitches and bulge on the back of the hand, Figure 15 shows rib knit tuck knitting, Figure 16 shows intarsia knitting, Figure 17 shows full needle knitting, Figure 18 shows needle-out knitting, and Figure 19 shows inlay knitting. Below, an example of a combination of knitting methods in the first region 41, second region 42, third region 43, and fourth region 44, depending on the knitting method in the first region 41 or second region 42, will be described. Note that the glove 10 is not limited to the combination of knitting methods shown below.

[0053] <Tuck knitting> As shown in Figure 8, the glove 10 may include, for example, a first knitted section 31 knitted in a tuck stitch in the first region 41, so that the fingertips 21H and palm 22H are pulled and bent inward. The first knitted section 31 may include multiple tuck stitches. For example, the first knitted section 31 has a portion where the yarn is passed through one stitch twice. This causes the fingertips 21H and palm 22H to be pulled and bent inward.

[0054] If the glove 10 includes a first knitted section 31 knitted with tuck stitch in the first region 41, it may also include a second knitted section 32 knitted with jersey stitch in the second region 42, as shown in Figure 9. The jersey stitch is knitted entirely with knit stitches. This allows the back of the fingers 21K and the back of the hand 22K to be stretched and bent inward. Furthermore, since the tuck stitch is made by overlapping some of the stitches of the jersey stitch, it is possible to easily manufacture the first region 41 including the tuck stitch and the second region 42 including the jersey stitch. The glove 10 may also include jersey stitch in the back of the fingers (part 11K), and jersey stitch and short-row knitting with increased stitches to make it bulge on the back of the hand (part 12K).

[0055] The glove 10 may include a third knitted section 33 knitted in tuck stitch in the third region 43 in order to pull up the back of the wrist 23K. This causes the wrist 23 to bend outward by pulling up the back of the wrist 23K.

[0056] If the glove 10 includes a third knitted section 33 knitted with tuck stitch in the third region 43, it may also include a fourth knitted section 34 knitted with jersey stitch in the fourth region 44. This allows the inner side 23H of the wrist to be stretched and bent backward. Thus, the configuration of the third region 43 including tuck stitch and the fourth region 44 including jersey stitch may be the same as the configuration of the first region 41 including tuck stitch and the second region 42 including jersey stitch. This makes it easier to manufacture the glove 10.

[0057] <Smooth knit> As shown in Figure 10, the glove 10 may include, for example, a first knitted section 31 knitted with smooth knitting in the first region 41, so that the pads of the fingers 21H and the palm 22H are pulled and bent inward. The first knitted section 31 may include alternating knitting with skipped needles in smooth knitting. Specifically, the smooth knitting is done alternately every other course, skipping one needle in the course direction. This reduces the number of stitches in the first region 41 compared to the stitches in the second region 42, so that the pads of the fingers 21H and the palm 22H are pulled inward and bent inward. The direction in which the stitches connected by yarn are aligned is called the course direction.

[0058] If the glove 10 includes a first knitted section 31 knitted with smooth knit in the first region 41, it may also include a second knitted section 32 knitted with jersey knit in the second region 42. This allows the back of the fingers 21K and the back of the hand 22K to be stretched and bent inward. Furthermore, since smooth knit is made by removing some of the stitches of jersey knit, it is possible to easily manufacture the first region 41 including smooth knit and the second region 42 including jersey knit. In the second knitted section 32 knitted with jersey knit, the glove 10 may include jersey knit in the back of the fingers (part 11K) and jersey knit and short-row knit with increased stitches to make it bulge on the back of the hand (part 12K).

[0059] Thus, when the number of stitches is reduced in the first region 41 by knitting with a smooth knit, the second region 42 is preferably made with a jersey knit, which allows the fabric to stretch more than the first region 41.

[0060] Furthermore, if the glove 10 includes a first knitted section 31 knitted in smooth knit in the first region 41, the second region 42 may include links knit, as shown in Figures 11 and 12. Links knit includes rib knit, in which knit and purl stitches are knitted alternately in the course direction, and garter stitch, in which knit and purl stitches are knitted alternately in the wale direction. The glove 10 may also include a fourth knitted section 34 in the second region 42, knitted in at least one of plain knit and links knit.

[0061] The glove 10 may include, for example, a third knitted section 33 knitted with a smooth knit in the third region 43 to pull and lift the back of the wrist 23K. This allows the wrist 23 to be bent outward by reducing the number of stitches in the third region 43 compared to the stitches in the fourth region 44, thereby pulling and lifting the back of the wrist 23K.

[0062] If the glove 10 includes a third knitted section 33 knitted with smooth knit in the third region 43, it may also include a fourth knitted section 34 knitted with at least one of jersey knit and links knit in the fourth region 44. This allows the inside of the wrist (section 13H) to be stretched, causing the wrist 23 to bend outward. Thus, the configuration of the third region 43 including smooth knit and the fourth region 44 including at least one of jersey knit and links knit may be the same as the configuration of the first region 41 including smooth knit and the second region 42 including at least one of jersey knit and links knit. This makes it easier to manufacture the glove 10.

[0063] <Short row knitting> The glove 10 may include a first knitted section 31 in the first region 41, which is knitted using short-row knitting and has sections where no stitches are made, as shown in Figure 13, so that the pads of the fingers 21H and the palm 22H are pulled and bent inward. Short-row knitting has sections where the knitting is reversed in the middle of the course. This pulls the pads of the fingers 21H and the palm 22H and makes them bend inward.

[0064] If the glove 10 includes a first knitted section 31 in the first region 41 that has portions where no stitches are made by short-row knitting, the glove 10 may also include a second knitted section 32 in the second region 42 that is knitted in plain stitch. This allows the back of the fingers 21K and the back of the hand 22K to be stretched and bent inward. Furthermore, since short-row knitting can be done by turning back in the middle of the plain stitch course, the manufacturing of the glove 10 can be made easier.

[0065] Furthermore, if the glove 10 includes a first knitted section 31 in the first region 41 that has a portion where no stitches are made by short-row knitting, the second region 42 may include short-row knitting in which the number of stitches is increased to create a bulge on the back of the hand, as shown in Figure 14. This makes it easier to manufacture the glove 10 by simply changing the knitting pattern between the first region 41 and the second region 42. Thus, the glove 10 may include a second knitted section 32 in the second region 42 that is knitted using at least one of plain knit and short-row knitting in which the number of stitches is increased to create a bulge on the back of the hand.

[0066] The glove 10 may include a third knitted section 33, for example, in the third region 43, which is knitted so that no stitches are made by short-row knitting, in order to pull up the back of the wrist 23K. This allows the wrist 23 to be bent outward by pulling up the back of the wrist 23K.

[0067] If the glove 10 includes a third knitted section 33 in the third region 43 that has a portion where no stitches are made by short-row knitting, the fourth region 44 may include a fourth knitted section 34 that is knitted using either plain knit or short-row knitting with increased stitches to create a bulge on the back of the hand. This allows the inner side of the wrist 23H to be stretched and bent backward. Thus, the configuration of the third region 43 including short-row knitting and the fourth region 44 including at least one of plain knit and short-row knitting may be the same as the configuration of the first region 41 including short-row knitting and the second region 42 including at least one of plain knit and short-row knitting. This makes it easier to manufacture the glove 10.

[0068] <Rib knit tuck stitch> As shown in Figure 15, the glove 10 may include, for example, a first knitted section 31 made of rib knitting in the first region 41, so that the fingertips 21H and palm 22H can be pulled and bent inward. The rib knit may also be a rib knit tuck knit in which the rib yarn is wrapped together with the stitches of jersey knit and at least one of the stitches of group A using a tuck knit. This makes it possible to pull and bend the fingertips 21H and palm 22H inward.

[0069] If the glove 10 includes a first knitted section 31 knitted in a rib knit tuck pattern in the first region 41, it may also include a second knitted section 32 knitted in a jersey knit and at least one of the knitting methods of Group A in the second region 42. This allows the back of the fingers 21K and the back of the hand 22K to be stretched and bent inward.

[0070] The glove 10 may include, for example, a third knitted section 33 knitted in a rib knit tuck pattern in the third region 43, in order to pull up the back of the wrist 23K. This causes the wrist 23 to bend outward by pulling up the back of the wrist 23K.

[0071] If the glove 10 includes a third knitted section 33 knitted with a rib knit tuck pattern in the third region 43, it may also include a fourth knitted section 34 knitted with a jersey knit and at least one of the knitting methods of Group A in the fourth region 44. This allows the inner side of the wrist 23H to be stretched and bent backward. Thus, the configuration of the third region 43 including the rib knit tuck pattern and the fourth region 44 including jersey knit and at least one of the knitting methods of Group A may be the same as the configuration of the first region 41 including the rib knit tuck pattern and the second region 42 including jersey knit and at least one of the knitting methods of Group A. This makes it easier to manufacture the glove 10.

[0072] <Intarsia knitting> As shown in Figure 16, the glove 10 may include, for example, a first knitted section 31 knitted by intarsia knitting in the first region 41 so that the fingertips 21H and palm 22H are pulled and bent inward. In this case, the first knitted section 31 shall include an elastic material having a different elasticity than the second knitted section 32. For example, the fingertip portion 11H and the palm portion 12H may be made of a material that stretches less than the opposite side. Specifically, the first knitted section 31 shall be made to shrink more than the second knitted section 32. This causes the fingertips 21H and palm 22H to be pulled and bent inward.

[0073] If the glove 10 includes a first knitted section 31 knitted by intarsia knitting in the first region 41, it may also include a second knitted section 32 knitted by intarsia knitting in the second region 42, which contains an elastic material having different elasticity than the first knitted section 31. In other words, both the first knitted section 31 and the second knitted section 32 may include intarsia knitting. Furthermore, the elastic material included in the intarsia knitting of the first knitted section 31 may shrink more easily than the elastic material included in the intarsia knitting of the second knitted section 32. The elastic material included in the intarsia knitting of the second knitted section 32 may stretch more easily than the elastic material included in the intarsia knitting of the first knitted section 31. This allows the back of the fingers 21K and the back of the hand 22K to be stretched and bent inward. In addition, since the glove 10 only requires changing the elastic material included in the intarsia knitting of the first knitted section 31 and the elastic material included in the intarsia knitting of the second knitted section 32, the manufacturing of the glove 10 can be made easier.

[0074] The glove 10 may include, for example, a third knitted section 33 knitted by intarsia in the third region 43 in order to pull up the back of the wrist 23K. In this case, the third knitted section 33 is made to shrink more than the fourth knitted section 34. This causes the wrist 23 to bend outward by pulling up the back of the wrist 23K.

[0075] If the glove 10 includes a third knitted section 33 knitted by intarsia knitting in the third region 43, it may also include a fourth knitted section 34 knitted by intarsia knitting in the fourth region 44, which is made of an elastic material that stretches more easily than the third knitted section 33. This allows the inside of the wrist 23H to be stretched and bent backward. Thus, the configuration of the third region 43 including intarsia knitting and the fourth region 44 including intarsia knitting may be the same as the configuration of the first region 41 including intarsia knitting and the second region 42 including intarsia knitting. This makes it easier to manufacture the glove 10.

[0076] <Variation of stitch coarseness> The glove 10 may include a first knitted section 31 in the first region 41, which is knitted with tight stitches so that the pads of the fingers 21H and the palm 22H can be pulled and bent inward. In this case, the first knitted section 31 is knitted with tighter stitches than the second knitted section 32. This causes the pads of the fingers 21H and the palm 22H to be pulled and bent inward.

[0077] The glove 10 may include a first knitted section 31 in a first region 41 that is tightly knitted, and a second knitted section 32 in a second region 42 that is loosely knitted than the first knitted section 31. In other words, both the first knitted section 31 and the second knitted section 32 may use the same knitting method. Furthermore, the stitches of the first knitted section 31 may be tighter and finer than the stitches of the second knitted section 32. To put it another way, the stitches of the second knitted section 32 may be looser than the stitches of the first knitted section 31. This allows the back of the fingers 21K and the back of the hand 22K to be stretched and bent inward.

[0078] The glove 10 may include, for example, a third knitted section 33 in the third region 43 that is knitted more tightly than the stitches of the fourth knitted section 34, in order to pull and lift the back of the wrist 23K. This causes the wrist 23 to bend outward by pulling and lifting the back of the wrist 23K.

[0079] If the glove 10 includes a third knitted section 33 with tightly woven stitches in the third region 43, it may also include a fourth knitted section 34 with looser stitches than the third knitted section 33 in the fourth region 44. Thus, the configuration of the third region 43 and the fourth region 44 may be the same as the configuration of the first region 41 and the second region 42. This makes it easier to manufacture the glove 10.

[0080] <Full-needle knitting> As shown in Figure 17, the glove 10 may include, for example, a first knitted section 31 knitted with a full needle in the first region 41, so that the fingertips 21H and palm 22H are pulled and bent inward. Full needle knitting uses all the needles in a row. Full needle knitting allows for fine stitches. In this case, the stitches of the first knitted section 31 may be finer than the stitches of the second knitted section 32. This causes the fingertips 21H and palm 22H to be pulled and bent inward.

[0081] If the glove 10 includes a first knitted section 31 knitted with a full needle knit in the first region 41, it may also include a second knitted section 32 knitted with a needle skip knit in the second region 42, as shown in Figure 18. The needle skip knit is a knitting method in which needles are skipped between the aligned needles. Therefore, the stitches can be made looser. This allows the stitches of the first knitted section 31 to be finely knitted with a full needle knit, and the stitches of the second knitted section 32 to be loosely knitted with a needle skip knit. This allows the back of the fingers 21K and the back of the hand 22K to be stretched and bent inward.

[0082] The glove 10 may include, for example, a third knitted section 33 knitted with a full needle in the third region 43, in order to pull and lift the back of the wrist 23K. This causes the wrist 23 to bend outward by pulling and lifting the back of the wrist 23K.

[0083] If the glove 10 includes a third knitted section 33 knitted with a full needle knit in the third region 43, it may also include a fourth knitted section 34 knitted with a needle-out knit in the fourth region 44. This allows the inner side 23H of the wrist to be stretched and bent backward. Thus, the configuration of the third region 43 and the fourth region 44 may be the same as the configuration of the first region 41 and the second region 42. This makes it easier to manufacture the glove 10.

[0084] <Inlay knitting> As shown in Figure 19, the glove 10 may include, for example, a first knitted section 31 knitted with inlay knitting in the first region 41, so that the fingertips 21H and palm 22H can be pulled and bent inward. In this case, the second region 42 may be made without inlay knitting. This allows the back of the hand to stretch without inlay and the inside to shrink with inlay. Inlay knitting is, for example, a technique in which elastic yarn is inserted into the rib knitting in links knitting. In inlay knitting, the elastic yarn itself is not included in the connection of the stitches. This makes it possible to pull and bend the fingertips 21H and palm 22H inward.

[0085] If the glove 10 includes a first knitted section 31 knitted by inlay knitting in the first region 41, it may also include a second knitted section 32 knitted by rib knitting in links knitting in the second region 42. This allows the back of the fingers 21K and the back of the hand 22K to be stretched and bent inward. Furthermore, since inlay knitting involves inserting elastic yarn into rib knitting in links knitting, it facilitates the manufacture of the glove 10.

[0086] The glove 10 may include, for example, a third knitted section 33 knitted in inlay in the third region 43, in order to pull and raise the back of the wrist 23K. This allows the wrist 23 to bend outward by pulling and raising the back of the wrist 23K.

[0087] If the glove 10 includes a third knitted section 33 knitted with inlay knitting in the third region 43, it may also include a fourth knitted section 34 knitted with rib knitting in links knitting in the fourth region 44. This allows the inner side 23H of the wrist to be stretched and bent backward. Thus, the configuration of the third region 43 including inlay knitting and the fourth region 44 including rib knitting in links knitting may be the same as the configuration of the first region 41 including inlay knitting and the second region 42 including rib knitting in links knitting. This makes it easier to manufacture the glove 10.

[0088] Furthermore, the glove 10 may be made stretchable throughout by an inlay knit containing rubber or other elastic fibers.

[0089] The glove 10 may have a difference in elasticity between the first region 41 and the second region 42. This may cause the glove 10 to pull on the fingertips 21H and palm 22H and bend inward. The glove 10 may also have a difference in elasticity between the third region 43 and the fourth region 44. This may cause the back of the wrist 23K to be pulled up, thereby causing the wrist 23 to bend outward.

[0090] <Lynx knitting> The glove 10 may include a first knitted section 31 in the first region 41, which is knitted using at least one of the knitting methods of group A and plain knit, so that the pads of the fingers 21H and the palm 22H can be pulled and bent inward. In that case, the glove 10 may also include a second knitted section 32 in the second region 42, which is knitted using links knit. This allows for more stretch in the back of the fingers 21K and the back of the hand 22K, enabling them to bend inward.

[0091] The glove 10 may include a third knitted section 33 in the third region 43, for example, knitted using at least one of the knitting patterns of group A and plain knit, in order to pull and raise the back of the wrist 23K. In that case, the glove 10 may also include a fourth knitted section 34 knitted using links knit. This allows the inside of the wrist 23H to be stretched and bent backward.

[0092] Figure 20 illustrates the finger-side portion 11K, the hand-side portion 12K, and the wrist-side portion 13K in the glove according to Embodiment 1. As shown in Figure 20, the boundary between the hand-side portion (part 12K) and the wrist-side portion (part 13K) may include a V-shaped smooth knit portion protruding from the hand-side portion (part 12K). This configuration makes it possible to suppress wrinkles that occur when the wrist is raised.

[0093] Figures 21 and 22 illustrate an example of wearing another glove 10 according to Embodiment 1. As shown in Figures 21 and 22, the glove 10 may have an opening on the fingertip side of each finger portion 11. In that case, each fingertip 21A may be exposed from the opening on the fingertip side of each finger portion 11.

[0094] Next, the effects of this embodiment will be described. The glove 10 of this embodiment is equipped with a first knitted section 31 knitted using a first knitting method on the fingertips (section 11H) and palm (section 12H). This allows the fingertips 21H and palm 22H to be pulled inward, thereby maintaining a good limb position and suppressing lymphedema through the compression pressure of the highly adhesive knitted material.

[0095] Furthermore, the glove 10 of this embodiment includes a second knitted section 32 on the back of the finger (part 11K) and the back of the hand (part 12K) that is knitted using a second knitting method different from the first knitting method. This allows the pads of the fingers 21H and the palm 22H to be pulled inward, thereby maintaining a good limb position and suppressing lymphedema through the compression pressure of the highly adhesive knitted material.

[0096] The glove 10 of this embodiment includes a third knitted section 33 knitted using a third knitting method on the back of the wrist (part 13K). This allows the wrist 23 to bend outward. Thus, a more ideal limb position can be maintained.

[0097] Furthermore, the glove 10 of this embodiment includes a fourth knitted section 34 knitted using a fourth knitting method inside the wrist (section 13H). This allows the wrist 23 to bend outward even further. Thus, a more ideal limb position can be maintained.

[0098] In the glove 10, the first knitting method includes at least one of tuck knit, smooth knit, rib knit, and intarsia knit, and the second knitting method may include jersey knit. As a result, the first knitting method is a modified version of the second knitting method, which facilitates the manufacture of the glove 10.

[0099] In the glove 10, the first and second knitting methods may include short-row knitting. Furthermore, the stitches may be different between the first and second knitting methods. This allows the fingertips 21H and palm 22H to be pulled and bent inward. In addition, since the first knitting method is a modified version of the second knitting method, the manufacturing of the glove 10 can be made easier.

[0100] The first knitting method may include a different knitting method from the third knitting method. This can increase the manufacturing flexibility of the glove 10. Alternatively, the first knitting method may include the same knitting method as the third knitting method. This can facilitate the manufacturing of the glove 10.

[0101] The glove 10 may have a V-shaped smooth knit at the boundary between the back of the hand (part 12K) and the back of the wrist (part 13K). This helps to suppress wrinkles that occur when the wrist is raised.

[0102] Although the present invention has been described above in reference to the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiments, and of course includes various modifications, alterations, and combinations that can be made by a person skilled in the art within the scope of the claims of the present patent application.
