Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to work gloves. [Background technology]

[0002] As a conventional work glove, Patent Document 1 discloses gloves suitable for welding work. These gloves have an ingenious stitching method to prevent burns even if sparks adhere to the surface during welding work. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Registered Utility Model No. 3189733 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] As disclosed in the above Patent Document 1, work gloves used for welding work generally use thick materials to enhance heat resistance, etc., and therefore, there is a problem that the inside of the gloves becomes stuffy, increasing discomfort, especially in summer.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide work gloves that ensure work safety while improving comfort. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a glove that includes a finger portion, a palm portion, and a back portion that respectively cover the fingers, palm, and back of the wearer, and the back portion includes a ventilation portion having ventilation holes and a cover portion that covers the front side of the ventilation portion, and the cover portion is attached in a bag-like shape to the ventilation portion so that an opening is formed on the wrist side. The ventilation section is formed in a band shape across the entire width of the back of the hand, and both sides of the cover section in the width direction are sewn to the palm section. The center of the width direction of the edge of the cover section on the opening side is fixed to the wrist side of the back of the hand by a fixing section, so that the opening is divided at the center of the width direction. This is achieved by work gloves. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide work gloves that ensure work safety while improving comfort. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0010] [Figure 1] 1 is a front view of a work glove according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a rear view of the work glove shown in FIG. [Figure 3] FIG. 2 is a side view of the work glove shown in FIG. [Figure 4] FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway front view of the work glove shown in FIG. [Figure 5] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the work glove shown in FIG. 1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 is a front view of a work glove according to one embodiment of the present invention, as seen from the back side. Fig. 2 is a rear view of the work glove shown in Fig. 1, as seen from the palm side. Fig. 3 is a side view of the work glove shown in Fig. 1, as seen from the thumb side. As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, work glove 1 has a palm member 100 and a back member 200 whose edges are sewn together at seams 2 and 3. This work glove 1 is for the right hand and has a finger portion 10, a palm portion 20, and a back portion 30 which cover the wearer's fingers, palm, and back, respectively. The finger portion 10 is formed by the palm member 100 and the back member 200, the palm portion 20 is formed by the palm member 100, and the back portion 30 is formed by the back member 200.

[0012] A tubular bottom hem 300 is sewn to the wrist side of the palm side member 100 and the back side member 200, and a hand can be inserted through the open end of the bottom hem 300. There are no particular restrictions on the materials for the palm side member 100, the back side member 200, and the bottom hem 300, but if the work gloves 1 are to be used for welding, they are preferably made of a heat-resistant material such as leather or heat-resistant fiber. There are no particular restrictions on the shape or length of the bottom hem 300, and the work gloves may also be configured without the bottom hem 300.

[0013] As shown in Figure 3, the back part 30 has a finger side part 30a and a wrist side part 30b that are arranged so that they partially overlap each other. Wrist side part 30b has a ventilation part 31 formed in a band across the entire width of back part 30 on the finger side, and the finger side edge of ventilation part 31 is sewn to the back side of finger side part 30a at seam 35. The part of finger side part 30a that covers the front side of ventilation part 31 constitutes cover part 32.

[0014] FIG. 4 is a cutaway front view of the cover 32 of the work glove 1 shown in FIG. 1 . As shown in FIG. 4 , the ventilation section 31 is made of a mesh member with numerous ventilation holes, allowing air to circulate between the inside and outside of the work glove 1. The size of the ventilation holes in the ventilation section 31 is not particularly limited, as long as they are visible to the naked eye. The placement of the ventilation section 31 is also not particularly limited, but it is preferably formed near the joints at the base of the fingers (MP joints) on the back of the hand, which promotes smooth ventilation inside the work glove 1. In this embodiment, the ventilation section 31 is formed from a different material from the other parts of the wrist side section 30b and sewn together at the seam 36. However, the ventilation section 31 may also be formed by forming one or more through holes in the entire wrist side section 30b made of the same material.

[0015] FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the work glove 1 as viewed from the wrist side. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the cover portion 32 covers the entire ventilation portion 31, and both widthwise sides are sewn to the palm portion 20 at seams 2 and 3, while the finger side is sewn to the edge of the ventilation portion 31 at seam 35. Thus, the cover portion 32 is attached to the ventilation portion 31 in a bag-like shape so that an opening 33 is formed on the wearer's wrist side. The edge of the cover portion 32 on the opening 33 side is sewn to the wrist side portion 30b at a fixing portion 34 at the widthwise center, and the opening 33 is divided in the widthwise direction at the fixing portion 34. The dividing portion of the opening 33 may be formed by gluing or by sewing at the fixing portion 34, or may be detachably fixed with a hook-and-loop fastener, snap buttons, or the like. The dividing portion of the opening 33 is preferably formed at the widthwise center of the cover portion 32, but may be formed at other locations or at multiple locations. However, the division of the opening 33 is not essential, and the fixing portion 34 may not be provided.

[0016] In the work gloves 1 having the above configuration, the cover portion 32 is attached to the ventilation portion 31 in a bag-like shape, and the finger side and both widthwise sides of the cover portion 32 are closed, while the opening 33 is formed on the wrist side. This prevents sparks, etc., generated during welding work from reaching the ventilation portion 31 through the opening 33. This allows ventilation through the ventilation portion 31 while ensuring work safety. Furthermore, since the opening 33 is formed on the wrist side, when the hand grips the gloves during work, the cover portion 32 is pulled toward the fingers, widening the opening 33, ensuring ventilation through the ventilation portion 31. Preferably, the opening 33 is divided in the center in the widthwise direction as in this embodiment, which reliably prevents the opening 33 from widening more than necessary.

[0017] The ventilation portion 31 is preferably formed in a strip shape across the entire width of the back portion 30 as in this embodiment, which ensures ventilation throughout the interior of the work glove 1. In addition, by sewing the cover portion 32 to the palm portion 20 on both sides in the width direction, the work glove 1 can be efficiently manufactured using the same procedure as for conventional sewn gloves. However, the ventilation portion 31 may be formed on only a portion of the back portion 30 in the width direction, or the cover portion 32 may be attached partially to the back portion 30 as a separate piece.

[0018] The work gloves 1 of this embodiment can be suitably used in welding work, but are not necessarily limited to this application. For example, when the work object generates a liquid flow, an air flow, dust, an impact, etc., or when the work object is a sharp object, the work gloves can provide a comfortable fit while effectively protecting the worker's hands.
