Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a glove putting on and taking off device used when putting on and taking off the same glove repeatedly. [Background Art]

[0002] In industries handling food such as restaurants, it is common to wear disposable gloves on both hands from the perspective of hygiene management during cooking, especially during work where hands come into direct contact with food such as mixing ingredients by hand. On the other hand, since there are also tasks that a worker wants to perform without wearing gloves, it may be necessary to take off the gloves between different tasks.

[0003] A technique for easily taking off gloves is disclosed, for example, in Patent Document 1. The glove remover disclosed herein includes a pair of detaching members, and by clamping the glove with the pair of detaching members, the glove can be easily taken off with one hand. [Prior Art Documents] [Patent Documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3190608 [Summary of the Invention] [Problem to be Solved by the Invention]

[0005] However, although the glove remover disclosed in Patent Document 1 can easily take off a glove, it does not consider putting the glove on again. That is, the glove remover does not assume reuse of the glove, and has problems in terms of increased cost and environmental load. Furthermore, if an attempt is made to put on the glove again after taking it off using the glove remover, the user has to touch the outer surface of the glove (the surface that comes into contact with food, etc.), which causes a problem in terms of hygiene. Therefore, it cannot meet the need to temporarily take off a glove and reuse it.

[0006] The present invention was made to solve the above problems, and one of its objectives is to provide a glove attachment / detachment device that allows gloves to be removed in a hygienic manner and in a manner that makes them easy to put back on. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] A glove attachment / detachment device according to the first aspect of the present invention has five substantially rectangular plate-shaped members, which are plate portions, and an axis-shaped member, which is a pin portion, provided to pivotally support each of the overlapping plate portions, and the plate portions can be configured to include an opening and closing main body portion and a stand portion that fixes the main body portion in a position that does not come into contact with the installation surface, with the pin portion as the axis.

[0008] A glove attachment / detachment device according to a second aspect of the present invention can be configured such that the main body is fixed to the stand such that the plate portion and the mounting surface are at an angle of 0° to 90°.

[0009] The glove attachment / detachment device according to the third aspect of the present invention can be configured such that the plate portion has a short side of 0.5 cm to 1.5 cm and a long side of 5 cm to 20 cm, and five plate portions of the same size.

[0010] A glove attachment / detachment device according to a fourth aspect of the present invention has a main body portion having a bendable portion that extends from one end of the plate portion to the pin portion, and on four of the overlapping plate portions other than the middle plate portion, allowing a part of the plate portion to be bent, and when the plate portion is in an open state, the bendable portion can be bent to prevent the plate portion from closing.

[0011] A glove attachment / detachment device according to a fifth aspect of the present invention can be configured such that the stand portion comprises a U-shaped portion which is a substantially U-shaped member and a screw portion which is screwed into the U-shaped portion, and the U-shaped portion and the screw portion sandwich the main body portion to fix the main body portion, and a base portion which is a substantially columnar member which is installed so that one end is in contact with the installation surface and the fixing portion is connected to the other end.

[0012] The glove attachment / detachment device according to the sixth aspect of the present invention can be configured such that the longitudinal length of the base portion is 5 cm to 30 cm. [Effects of the Invention]

[Glove putting on and taking off device 1]

[0016] A glove putting on and taking off device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the glove putting on and taking off device 1 mainly includes a main body portion 11 and a stand portion 12. Each member will be described below. [Main body portion 11]

[0018] As shown in FIG. 2, the main body portion 11 is composed of five stacked plate portions 111 and a pin portion 112 provided to pivotally support these plate portions. The main body portion 11 is configured such that the plate portions 111 can be opened and closed about the pin portion 112 as a pivot. <Plate portion 111>

[0019] The plate portion 111 is a substantially rectangular plate-shaped member having a hole through which the pin portion 112 is passed.

[0020] The size of the plate portions 111 is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the short sides are 0.5 cm to 1.5 cm and the long sides are 5 cm to 20 cm. The size is adapted to the length of a human finger. Furthermore, it is preferable that the five plate portions 111 have the same size. This is because when the plate portions 111 are closed around the pin portion 112 as a shaft, the contours of the five plate portions 111 are aligned, allowing compact storage.

[0021] The material of the plate portions 111 is not particularly limited, but wood or plastic is preferable. This is in consideration of ease of processing, durability when processed into a thin plate shape, and the like. Furthermore, considering that the product is used when performing cooking, plastic is more preferable. This is in consideration of water resistance.

[0022] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, among the five plate portions 111, four plate portions 111 other than the plate portion 111 positioned in the center have bent portions 1111. <Bent Portion 1111>

[0023] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the bent portion 1111 is a member that enables a part of the plate portion 111 to be bent within the range from one end of the plate portion 111 to the pin portion 112. With this configuration, when the plate portion 111 is in an open state, bending the bent portion 1111 can prevent the plate portion 111 from closing and maintain the open state.

[0024] When removing a glove using the glove attachment / detachment tool 1, the side that is not provided with the bent portion 1111 with the pin portion 112 as a reference is inserted into each finger of the glove. <Pin Portion 112>

[0025] As shown in Figure 2, the pin portion 112 is a member that pivotally supports the stacked plate portions 111. Accordingly, the main body portion 11 can open and close the plate portions 111 around the pin portion 112 as a shaft.

[0026] Furthermore, the pin portion 112 is positioned off-center from the longitudinal center of the plate portion 111. That is, the plate portion 111 is divided into two areas based on the pin portion 112; the bent portion 1111 is provided in the smaller area, and the larger area is inserted into each finger of the glove when removing it.

[0027] The size (diameter) of the pin portion 112 is not particularly limited, but it must be smaller than the shorter side of the plate portion 111 in order to pivotally support the plate portion 111.

[0028] Furthermore, while the specific shape of the pin portion 112 is not particularly limited, the plate portion 111 is preferably shaped to be suitable for fixing to the stand portion 12 by the pin portion 112 being sandwiched between the fixing portion 121. [Stand section 12]

[0029] As shown in Figures 1 and 4, the stand portion 12 is a member for fixing the main body portion 11 in a position where it does not come into contact with the installation surface, and is composed of a fixing portion 121 and a base portion 122.

[0030] The stand 12 can fix the main body 11 in a position where it does not come into contact with the mounting surface. In other words, the main body 11 can be used to fix the removed gloves in a state as if they were floating in the air, thus allowing for hygienic management of the removed gloves. <Fixed part 121>

[0031] As shown in Figure 4, the fixing portion 121 is composed of a U-shaped portion 1211 and a screw portion 1212 that screws into it.

[0032] As shown in Figure 1, the fixing part 121 secures the main body part 11 by having the U-shaped part 1211 and the screw part 1212 sandwich the pin part 112. 《U-shaped section 1211》

[0033] The U-shaped section 1211 is a roughly U-shaped member, and a hole is provided at its upper part for passing the screw portion 1212 through.

[0034] The size of the U-shaped section 1211 is not particularly limited, but for example, the outer dimensions can be 0.5cm to 2.0cm for the shorter side, 2.5cm to 25cm for the longer side, and 0.5cm to 10cm for the height. In addition, the space that encloses the main body section 11 (the inner part of the U-shape) can be 0.5cm to 2.0cm for the shorter side, 2.5cm to 24cm for the longer side, and 0.5cm to 9cm for the height. 《Screw part 1212》

[0035] The threaded portion 1212 is a screw that engages with the U-shaped portion 1211.

[0036] The size of the screw portion 1212 is not particularly limited and should be set to match the size of the pin portion 112. <Base part 122>

[0037] As shown in Figures 1 and 4, the base portion 122 is a substantially columnar member, installed so that one end is in contact with the installation surface, and the fixing portion 121 is connected to the vicinity of the other end.

[0038] The specific shape of the base portion 122 is not particularly limited, but for example, the stability of the installation can be improved by making the end portion that contacts the installation surface (the lower side in Figures 1 and 4) flared outwards. In addition, the base portion 122 can have fixing portions 121 connected so that the plate portion 111 and the installation surface form an angle of 0° to 90°, and the length in the longitudinal direction can be 5 cm to 30 cm. This is to take into consideration ease of installation and preventing contact between removed gloves and the installation surface.

[0039] Furthermore, the base portion 122 may be provided with multiple means for engaging with the fixing portion 121, or the base portion 122 may be made variable so that the height and angle of the fixing portion 121 provided on the base portion 122 can be adjusted. [How to use glove attachment / removal device 1]

[0040] This section explains how to use the glove attachment / removal device 1.

[0041] First, when removing gloves using the glove removal device 1, with the main body 11 closed, insert the plate portion 111 between the glove and the hand. Next, open the main body 11 just before the part where the fingertips of the glove separate, and pass each plate portion 111 through the finger part of the glove. Then, by bending the bendable portion 1111, fix the plate portion 111 in the open position, and by pulling the hand out, the glove can be easily removed without touching the surface of the glove.

[0042] At this time, the removed glove is fixed in place by the stand 12 in a state as if floating in the air, with the finger portions remaining spread out, that is, maintaining the shape of the palm.

[0043] Next, when putting on gloves that have been removed using the glove attachment / removal device 1, insert your hand into the gloves, which are fixed in the state described above. Then, return the folded portion 1111 to its original position and pull out the main body portion 11 while closing the plate portion 111, allowing you to easily put on the gloves again without touching the surface of the gloves.

[0044] Thus, the glove attachment / detachment device 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention allows gloves to be removed in a hygienic and easily reattachable manner. As a result, gloves can be reused, and the amount of glove waste can be reduced. [About this application]
