Note that the sizes and positional relationships of the members shown in each drawing may be exaggerated for clarity of explanation. Furthermore, in the following description, the same names and reference numerals denote the same or equivalent members, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted as appropriate. Further, each element constituting the present invention may be configured such that a plurality of elements are formed of the same member and one member serves as a plurality of elements, or conversely, the function of one member may be shared by a plurality of members. Also, the functions or processes of each element constituting the present invention can be realized by artificial intelligence (AI: Artificial Intelligence) within a possible range. [Gloves Attaching / Detaching Device 1]

[0016] The gloves attaching / detaching 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 gloves attaching / detaching 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 overlapping plate portions 111 and pin portions 112 provided to pivotally support them. The main body portion 11 is configured such that the plate portions 111 can be opened and closed about the pin portions 112 as axes. [Plate Portion 111]

[0019] The plate portion 111 is a substantially rectangular plate-like member and has holes for passing the pin portions 112.

[0020] The size of the plate portion 111 is not particularly limited, but it is preferably such that the short side is 0.5 cm to 1.5 cm and the long side is 5 cm to 20 cm. It is designed to match the length of a human finger. Also, the five plate portions 111 are preferably of the same size. This is because when the plate portion 111 is closed with the pin portion 112 as the axis, the contours of the five plate portions 111 will align, allowing for compact storage.

[0021] The material of the plate portion 111 is not particularly limited, but wood or plastic is preferred. This is considered in terms of ease of processing and durability when processed into a thin plate shape. Also, considering its use during cooking, plastic is more preferred. This is in consideration of water resistance.

[0022] Also, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, among the five plate portions 111, four plate portions 111 other than the plate portion 111 located in the middle have bending portions 1111. 《Bending Portion 1111》

[0023] The bending portion 1111 is a member formed in the range from one end of the plate portion 111 to the pin portion 112 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and is configured to allow a part of the plate portion 111 to be bent. With this configuration, in the state where the plate portion 111 is open, by bending the bending portion 1111, it is possible to prevent the plate portion 111 from closing and maintain the open state.

[0024] When removing the glove using the glove donning / removing device 1, the side without the bending portion 1111 with respect to the pin portion 112 is inserted into each finger of the glove. 〈Pin Portion 112〉

[0025] The pin portion 112 is a member that pivotally supports the overlapping plate portions 111 as shown in FIG. 2. Thereby, the main body portion 11 can open and close the plate portion 111 with the pin portion 112 as the axis.

[0026] Further, the pin portion 112 is disposed at a position deviated from the center in the longitudinal direction of the plate portion 111. That is, the plate portion 111 is divided into two ranges based on the pin portion 112. The bent portion 1111 is provided in the smaller range, and the larger range is inserted into each finger of the glove when removing the glove.

[0027] The size (diameter) of the pin portion 112 is not particularly limited, but due to the relationship of pivotally supporting the plate portion 111, it must be smaller than the short side of the plate portion 111.

[0028] Also, the specific shape of the pin portion 112 is not particularly limited, but since the plate portion 111 is fixed to the stand portion 12 by the pin portion 112 being sandwiched between the fixing portions 121, a shape suitable for this is preferable. 〔Stand portion 12〕

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

[0030] The stand portion 12 can fix the main body portion 11 at a position where it does not contact the installation surface. In other words, since it can be fixed in a state where the glove removed using the main body portion 11 is floating in the air, the removed glove can be managed in a hygienic state. 〈Fixing portion 121〉

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

[0032] As shown in FIG. 1, the fixing portion 121 fixes the main body portion 11 by the U-shaped portion 1211 and the screw portion 1212 sandwiching the pin portion 112. 《U-shaped portion 1211》

[0033] The U-shaped portion 1211 is a substantially U-shaped member, and a hole for passing the screw portion 1212 is provided in the upper portion.

[0034] The size of the U-shaped portion 1211 is not particularly limited. For example, the short side of the outer shape can be 0.5 cm to 2.0 cm, the long side can be 2.5 cm to 25 cm, and the height can be 0.5 cm to 10 cm. Also, the space (the inner part of the U-shape) for sandwiching the main body 11 can have a short side of 0.5 cm to 2.0 cm, a long side of 2.5 cm to 24 cm, and a height of 0.5 cm to 9 cm. 《Screw portion 1212》

[0035] The screw 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 can be set according to the size of the pin portion 112. 〈Base portion 122〉

[0037] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the base portion 122 is a substantially columnar member, one end of which is installed in contact with the installation surface, and the fixing portion 121 is continuously provided near the other end.

[0038] The specific shape of the base portion 122 is not particularly limited. For example, by making the end side in contact with the installation surface (the lower side in FIGS. 1 and 4) be a flaring shape, the installation stability can be improved. Also, the base portion 122 can have the fixing portion 121 continuously provided such 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 considered in view of ease of installation and preventing contact between the removed glove and the installation surface.

[0039] Also, by providing a plurality of engaging means with the fixing portion 121 on the base portion 122 or making the base portion 122 variable, the height and angle of the fixing portion 121 provided on the base portion 122 can be adjusted. [Usage method of the glove donning / doffing device 1]

[0040] The usage method of the glove donning / doffing device 1 will be described.

[0041] First, when removing the glove using the glove donning / doffing device 1, with the main body part 11 closed, insert the plate part 111 between the glove and the hand. Next, open the main body part 11 in front of the part where the fingertips of the glove are separated, and pass each plate part 111 through the finger part of the glove. Then, by bending the bending part 1111, fix the plate part 111 in an open state, and by pulling out the hand, the glove can be easily removed without touching the surface of the glove.

[0042] At this time, the removed glove is fixed in a state where the finger part remains spread, that is, while maintaining the palm shape, as if floating in the air by the stand part 12.

[0043] Next, when re - wearing the glove removed using the glove donning / doffing device 1, insert the hand into the glove fixed in the aforementioned state. Then, return the bent bending part 1111 to its original position, and by pulling out the main body part 11 while closing the plate part 111, the glove can be easily re - worn without touching the surface of the glove.

[0044] In this way, the glove donning / doffing device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention can remove the glove in a hygienic and easily re - wearable state. As a result, the glove can be reused, and the amount of glove waste can be reduced. [Regarding this application]
