Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to gloves worn on the hand, and more particularly to gloves useful for a variety of tasks such as sorting mail. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, for example, in mail delivery work, people often wear gloves to protect their hands when driving bicycles or motorcycles. However, when performing detailed work such as sorting a large amount of letters or envelopes, it is necessary to remove the gloves in order to expose the fingertips or wear finger cots on the fingertips. In addition, when wearing fingerless gloves, which expose the fingertips, the fingertips are exposed from the beginning, and although it is easy to wear finger cots, there are problems such as a decrease in grip strength and difficulty in protecting the fingers compared to regular gloves. Therefore, there has been a demand for gloves that reduce the exposed area of ​​the fingers while allowing the fingertips to be easily exposed when necessary.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, technical proposals have been made in the past, as described in Utility Model Registration No. 3178845 (Patent Document 1) and Patent No. 6474009 (Patent Document 2). That is, Patent Document 1 proposes a technical proposal for open-fingered gloves in which a removal member is connected to the finger-passing area. In addition, Patent Document 2 proposes a technical proposal for gloves that can cover the thumb and fingers other than the thumb with a stretchy material.

[0004] However, according to the technical proposal in Patent Document 1, the removal members connected to each finger passage are connected for the purpose of removing the glove from the hand, and do not provide the effect of preventing the wearing of finger cots or exposure of the fingers, and do not solve the above problem. Furthermore, according to the technical proposal in Patent Document 2, all fingers except the thumb are covered, so when performing work that requires the index finger or middle finger, the fingers other than the thumb are also exposed at the same time, and the effect of reducing exposure of the fingers cannot be achieved, so the above problem is still not solved.

[0005] The applicant came up with the idea of ​​creating gloves that allow the fingertips to be exposed or that allow the wearer to wear finger cots when wearing the gloves, and focused on fingerless gloves that expose the finger parts. He developed gloves in which the covered areas are selectively separated between fingers that require exposed fingertips and fingers that do not, which led to the proposal of the "glove" of the present invention.

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Practical Registration No. 3178845 [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 6474009 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a glove that reduces exposed areas of the fingertips and allows the wearer to wear a finger cot while wearing the glove. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a glove to be worn on the hand, comprising a glove body that covers from the wrist to the back and palm of the hand, and a finger body that is a cylindrical body that covers the fingers and has a base end connected to the glove body, the finger body comprising one or more closed finger portions with closed tips, and a plurality of open finger portions including at least the thumb and index finger that are cut off at predetermined locations and have open tips.

[0009] The present invention also employs a means in which the opening finger portion is provided on a middle finger.

[0010] Furthermore, the present invention employs a means in which one or more slits are formed in the open finger portion from the open end toward the glove body.

[0011] Furthermore, the present invention employs a means in which the open end of the open finger portion is formed to be located in the vicinity of a first joint of the finger.

[0012] Furthermore, the present invention employs a means in which the tips of the blocking fingers are made of an elastic material so that the fingertips can protrude from the gaps.

[0013] Furthermore, the present invention employs a means in which the glove body is provided with a sun protection cover that extends to a predetermined part of the arm.

[0014] Furthermore, the present invention employs a means in which an anti-slip treatment is applied to the palm side of the glove body and / or the finger bodies. Effect of the Invention

[0015] According to the glove of the present invention, the finger body is provided with a plurality of open finger portions, including at least the thumb and index finger, which are cut at predetermined locations and have open tips. This provides a feeling similar to that of a bare hand compared to fingers covered with closed finger portions, and also makes it possible to wear finger cots or the like, which is useful for precision movements such as sorting documents and picking up small items (hereinafter simply referred to as "precision movements"). Furthermore, by providing an open finger portion on the middle finger in addition to the thumb and index finger, it is possible to strengthen the gripping force when performing precision operations, and by gripping at three points, a sense of stability is increased, which is an excellent effect.

[0016] In addition, with the glove of the present invention, one or more slits are formed from the open end of the open finger portion toward the glove body, thereby preventing the tip portions of the open finger portions from getting caught when the finger cot is worn, and by overlapping the tip portions of the open finger portions over the base end of the finger cot, it is also possible to reduce exposure of the finger skin.

[0017] Furthermore, with the glove of the present invention, the open ends of the open finger portions are formed to be located near the first joints of the fingers, thereby avoiding unnecessary exposure and enabling the necessary sensations and movements even with only the fingertips being exposed to a small extent, thereby ensuring the necessary range of motion; and when a finger cot is worn, the tips of the open finger portions can cover the outside of the finger cot.

[0018] Furthermore, with the glove of the present invention, the tips of the closed finger portions are made of an elastic material, and by adopting a configuration that allows them to be opened as needed, the fingertips that are normally closed can be opened and exposed as needed, thereby achieving the same feeling and usage as the fingertips of open finger portions.

[0019] Furthermore, according to the gloves of the present invention, the glove body is equipped with a sunburn protection cover that extends to a specified part of the arm, such as the upper arm or forearm, thereby preventing exposure of the skin of the arm from the wrist, which is the base end of the glove, and also contributes to protection from ultraviolet rays and sunburn.

[0020] Furthermore, the glove of the present invention has an anti-slip treatment applied to the palm portion of the glove body and the finger bodies, which helps to improve grip strength and complements the feeling of bare hands when performing precision movements or riding a motorcycle. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0021] [Figure 1] 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of a glove according to the present invention. [Diagram 2] 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of a glove according to the present invention. [Diagram 3] 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of a glove according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0022] The greatest feature of the glove 1 of the present invention is that the tip of the finger performing precision movements is exposed by passing the finger through the open finger section 5, while the other fingers are entirely covered by the closed finger section 4, thereby enabling precision movements while wearing the glove 1 while minimizing exposure of the fingers. Hereinafter, an embodiment of a glove 1 according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0023] The glove 1 according to the present invention is not particularly limited to the embodiment described below, but can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, i.e., within the scope of shapes, dimensions, materials, etc. that can achieve the same functional effects.

[0024] FIG. 1 is an overall explanatory diagram showing a basic embodiment of a glove 1 according to the present invention, where (a) is an overall schematic diagram, and (b) shows a mode of use. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing another embodiment of the glove 1 according to the present invention, in which (a) shows an embodiment in which the closed finger portion 4 covering the middle finger is provided with an elastic portion 7, and (b) shows an embodiment in which the open finger portion 5 covering the thumb and index finger is provided with a slit 6. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing another embodiment of the glove 1 according to the present invention, and more specifically shows an embodiment equipped with a sun protection cover 8. As shown in FIG. The glove 1 of the present invention has an overall appearance similar to that of an existing glove, and is mainly composed of a glove body 2 and finger bodies 3.

[0025] The glove body 2 covers the user's wrist, back of the hand, and palm. The glove body 2 is the portion of the glove 1 excluding the finger portion, which is worn by inserting the fingers through the opening at the wrist portion, and the configuration thereof is based on a conventionally known technique. Note that the opening is preferably configured so that the entire hand is inserted into the opening and then the opening is in close contact with the wrist portion to prevent the glove body 2 from falling off, and a configuration using an elastic material or a hook-and-loop fastener is preferable. The material of the glove body 2 is not particularly limited, and conventionally known materials such as natural leather and chemical fibers may be used. The upper end of the glove body 2 is provided with finger bodies 3 capable of covering the fingers of a user.

[0026] The finger bodies 3 are cylindrical bodies that cover the five fingers of the user, and are provided at the upper end of the glove body 2 with a predetermined interval therebetween. The connection interval between the glove body 2 and the finger body 3 is not particularly limited as long as it is the same as that of a general glove using conventionally known technology. In addition, the connection interval, length, and thickness of the finger body 3 will be appropriately determined depending on the size of the glove body 2 and the size of the entire glove. The tip of the finger body 3 is provided with either a closed finger portion 4 whose tip is closed, or an open finger portion 5 whose tip is cut off at a predetermined location (preferably near the first joint) and left open, but at least the thumb and index finger are provided with the open finger portion 5.

[0027] The closed finger portion 4 is a finger body 3 whose base end is connected to the glove body 2 and whose tip end is closed, and one or more closed finger portions are provided on any finger other than the thumb and index finger. The blocking finger portion 4 is provided so as to cover the finger up to the tip during normal use. 2(a), an embodiment in which an elastic part 7 made of an elastic material is provided in the closed part of the blocking finger 4 so that the gap at the tip part is expanded by pulling it toward the base end side, and the fingertip is protruded and exposed is also preferable. By adopting such an embodiment, when the fingertip is in use, the tip of the blocking finger 4 is pulled toward the base end side or rolled up to expose the fingertip, and when the fingertip is not in use, the tip of the blocking finger 4 pulled toward the base end side or rolled up is returned to the tip side to cover the entire fingertip, thereby blocking the fingertip. In this way, it is possible to selectively use the closed state and the open state.

[0028] The open finger portion 5 is a finger body 3 having a base end connected to the glove body 2 and an open tip end, and is provided on at least the thumb and index finger. The releasing finger portion 5 may be provided only on the thumb and index finger, or on other fingers, but it is preferable to provide it on the middle finger. By adopting such a configuration, when performing precision operations, particularly when gripping an object, it is possible to grip the object with three points, the thumb, index finger, and middle finger, which increases the sense of stability compared to gripping the object with only two points, the thumb and index finger. In addition, it is also possible to pinch documents between the index finger and middle finger and turn them over with the thumb to count the number of pages. The tip of the open finger portion 5 is cut at a predetermined location on the finger, preferably at a position near the first joint of the covered finger. By adopting such a configuration, it is easy to ensure the necessary range of motion for fingertip movements while enabling movements that require the touch of the fingertip even with a small exposed portion of the fingertip. In addition, by making the tip of the open finger portion 5 out of an elastic material, it is possible to cover the tip of the open finger portion 5 over the base end of the fingertip 10 when the fingertip 10 is worn, eliminating the gap between the fingertip 10 and the glove 1 and preventing the fingertip 10 from slipping off.

[0029] The opening finger portion 5 has: Figure 1 and As shown in Figure 2(b), At least one A mode in which a slit 6 is formed from the tip of the open finger portion 5 toward the glove body 2. Hire By adopting this configuration, it is possible to widely open the tip portions of open finger portions 5, reducing the possibility of the tip portions of open finger portions 5 getting caught when putting on finger stall 10, and it is also possible to cover a portion of finger stall 10 with the open ends of open finger portions 5, thereby reducing the exposed area of ​​skin. Furthermore, it is possible to put on and take off glove 1 even while wearing the finger stall, which are excellent effects. Although there are no particular limitations on the location or length of slit 6, in order to prevent the end of slit 6 from sagging downward during precision movements and interfering with the movements, a preferred embodiment is one in which slit 6 is formed on the side of open finger 5 with a length of about 5 to 10 mm from the open end. In addition, a preferred embodiment is one in which multiple slits 6 are formed, such as on both opposing side surfaces of open finger 5. By adopting such an embodiment, it becomes possible to easily turn up the open end of open finger 5 through slit 6, and it becomes possible to smoothly put on finger cot 10.

[0030] 3, a sun protection cover 8 that extends to a predetermined part of the arm is preferably provided at the opening of the glove body 2. By adopting such a configuration, the exposed part of the skin between the user's clothes and the glove 1 is reduced, making it possible to prevent sunburn. There is no limitation on the method of connecting the glove body 2 and the sun protection cover 8. In addition to using the button 11, other possible methods include using a zipper or hook-and-loop fastener, or forming the opening of the glove body 2 into a glove-like shape by directly extending it. There is also no particular limit to the length of the sunburn protection cover 8, and it may be long enough to cover only the forearm or the upper arm. There is also no particular limit to the shape of the sunburn protection cover 8, and it may be a shape that covers only the outside of the arm exposed to sunlight, or a cylindrical shape that covers the entire arm.

[0031] It is desirable that the palm side of the glove body 2 and the finger bodies 3 are provided with an anti-slip surface 9 as shown in Fig. 3 as necessary. The anti-slip surface 9 is provided using a conventionally known technique, and is provided on the entire or partial palm side. By adopting such an embodiment, the frictional force of the palm portion is increased, enabling the user to improve the gripping power during precision movements, when driving a motorcycle, carrying heavy objects, etc., and also contributing to complementing the feeling of bare hands.

[0032] Next, a usage mode of the glove 1 according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. The thumb and index finger are open finger portions 5 with slits 6, the middle finger is closed finger portion 4 with an elastic portion 7, and the ring finger and little finger are closed finger portions 4. Normally, the thumb and index finger are exposed, and the other fingers are covered by the closed finger portion 4. When fingerstall 10 is in use, the tip portions of open finger portions 5 cover a portion of fingerstall 10 as shown in FIG. 2(b). When using the middle finger, as shown in FIG. 2(a), the distal end portion of the blocking finger portion 4 covering the middle finger is rolled up toward the proximal end to expose the fingertip.

[0033] Although the basic configuration and usage of the glove 1 according to the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the configuration shown in the above embodiment and drawings. For example, the glove body 2 and the sun protection cover 8 may be extended up to the upper arm to prevent exposure of the arm of a user wearing short sleeves.

[0034] As described above, according to the glove 1 of the present invention, each finger is covered by the closed finger portion 4 and the open finger portion 5, and even when the fingertips are used for precision movements, the movements can be performed without removing the glove 1, which contributes to improving work efficiency. [Industrial Applicability]

[0035] The glove of the present invention allows the wearer to perform detailed work that requires the sensation of the fingertips while wearing it, and can also be worn with a finger cot, making it usable for work in any field that requires fingertips, such as mail delivery and sorting, operating a smartphone or touch panel, assembling precision equipment using the fingertips, etc. Therefore, it is believed that the "glove" of the present invention has extremely high industrial applicability.
