Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to gloves and methods of donning gloves. [Background technology]

[0002] To prevent rough hands caused by wet work such as washing dishes or doing laundry, people wear gloves while doing wet work. It is preferable that gloves used for wet work do not allow water to seep in through the gap between the wrist and the opening where the hand is inserted. Therefore, in order to improve the adhesion between the glove opening and the wrist, it has been studied to fasten the wrist covering that covers the wrist of the glove to the wrist using a hook-and-loop fastener (Patent Document 1), and to provide gloves with approximately tubular sleeves and drawstrings midway down the bottom (Patent Document 2).

[0004] However, gloves that use a hook-and-loop fastener to fasten the wrist covering to the wrist put stress on the fastener joint, which can come loose while doing wet work. Also, gloves that have a drawstring at the bottom can feel too tight for some users, while others find the drawstring too loose and unable to prevent water from getting in, since the thickness of the wrist varies from user to user.

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a glove having a novel structure that makes it difficult for water to penetrate into the glove, and a method for putting on the glove. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The inventors of the present invention discovered that, after inserting a hand into a glove, by pinching up a part of the opening or the vicinity thereof, twisting the pinched part by at least half a turn, and then fastening the twisted part to the hand covering or wrist covering, the wrist covering can be securely fastened to the wrist, making it possible to stably prevent water from seeping into the glove for a long period of time.The inventors then discovered that by preparing a first member and a second member that can be engaged with each other, and arranging the first member on the opening side of the wrist covering and the second member on the hand covering side of the wrist covering, it is possible to easily fasten the wrist covering to the hand covering side with the vicinity of the opening of the wrist covering twisted, and completed the present invention.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention provides a hand covering device that covers a hand, a wrist covering device that is integrally connected to the hand covering device and covers a wrist, and an opening that is provided in the wrist covering device and into which a hand is inserted. and a fixing part that can be fixed to the hand covering part or the wrist covering part in a twisted state at or near the opening. The glove includes a step of inserting a hand through the opening of the glove, a step of picking up a part of the opening or its vicinity and twisting the picked-up part by at least half a turn, and a step of attaching the twisted picked-up part to the hand covering part or the wrist covering part. By the fixing portion and a step of fastening the glove.

[0008] The present invention also relates to a glove having a hand covering part that covers the hand, a wrist covering part that is integrally connected to the hand covering part and covers the wrist, and an opening provided in the wrist covering part for inserting the hand, and having a fixing part that can be fixed to the hand covering part or the wrist covering part by twisting a part of the opening or its vicinity. [Effects of the Invention]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] A glove and a method for putting on a glove according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0012] [First embodiment] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a glove 1a of the first embodiment includes a hand covering part 2, a wrist covering part 3 integrally connected to the hand covering part 2, and an opening 4 provided in the wrist covering part 3. The hand covering part 2 is a part that covers the hand. The wrist covering part 3 is a part that covers the wrist. The opening 4 is a part into which the hand is inserted. There are no restrictions on the shapes of the hand covering part 2 and the wrist covering part 3 as long as they can cover the hand and wrist. The wrist covering part 3 has a first member 6 and a second member 5 that can be engaged with each other. The first member 6 is located on the outer surface of the wrist covering part 3 near the opening 4, and the second member 5 is located on the outer surface of the wrist covering part 3 on the hand covering part 2 side.

[0013] The hand covering part 2 and the wrist covering part 3 may be made of the same material or different materials. There are no particular restrictions on the materials for the hand covering part 2 and the wrist covering part 3, and materials used in ordinary gloves can be used. Examples of materials that can be used for the hand covering part 2 and the wrist covering part 3 include resin and rubber. Examples of resin include polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, and vinyl chloride. Examples of rubber include natural rubber, silicone rubber, urethane rubber, nitrile rubber, acrylic rubber, chloroprene rubber, butadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, and polyethylene rubber. The wrist covering part 3 is preferably made of an elastic material so that a portion of the opening 4 can be easily picked up and twisted.

[0014] There are no particular limitations on the configuration of the first member 6 and the second member 5 as long as they are engageable with each other. For example, the first member 6 may be a string and the second member 5 may be a protrusion, and the first member 6 and the second member 5 may be engaged by hooking the first member 6 onto the second member 5. Also, hooks, buttons, etc. may be used as the first member 6 and the second member 5.

[0015] The glove 1a of this embodiment can be worn on the hand in the following manner. First, the hand is inserted through the opening 4 of the glove 1a. Next, the first member 6 is picked up together with a part of the opening 4, and the picked-up part is twisted. There are no particular restrictions on the number of times the picked-up part is twisted, as long as it improves the adhesion between the unpicked part of the opening 4 and the wrist and allows the first member 6 and the second member 5 to engage with each other, and the number of times can be adjusted according to the thickness of the user's wrist, etc. The number of times the opening 4 is twisted is, for example, one to three natural numbers. Next, with the picked-up part still twisted, the first member 6 and the second member 5 are engaged with each other, and the picked-up part is fixed to the second member 5 (hand covering part 2) in the twisted state.

[0016] 3 and 4, the glove 1a worn as described above is fixed to the wrist covering part 3 with part of the opening 4 twisted to form a twisted part 10. By forming part of the opening 4 as a twisted part 10, the opening 4 is narrowed, improving the adhesion between the part of the opening 4 other than the twisted part 10 and the wrist 100. Furthermore, by fixing part of the opening 4 as a twisted part 10, the glove is less likely to come off compared to when fastened to the wrist using a hook-and-loop fastener, and the wrist covering part 3 can be stably attached to the wrist 100.

[0017] As explained above, according to the glove 1a and the method of putting on the glove 1a of this embodiment, the wrist covering part 3 and the wrist can be stably brought into close contact, making it possible to stably prevent water from penetrating into the glove for a long period of time. Also, since the glove 1a of this embodiment has the first member 6 provided in the opening 4 and the second member 5 engageable with the first member 6, it is possible to easily fix the opening 4 of the wrist covering part 3 to the wrist covering part 3 in a twisted state.

[0018] [Second embodiment] 5 and 6, the glove 1b of the second embodiment is the same as the glove 1a of the first embodiment except that the first member 6 is arranged on the inner surface near the opening 4 of the wrist covering part 3. Therefore, the same parts as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and their description will be omitted.

[0019] In the glove 1b of this embodiment, the opening 4 is twisted half a turn or a natural number plus half a turn. By adding half a turn to the number of twists, it becomes possible to engage the first member 6a and the second member 5 of the twisted portion 10 where the opening 4 is twisted, as shown in Figs. 7 and 8.

[0020] According to glove 1b of this embodiment and the method of wearing glove 1b, similar to glove 1a of the first embodiment, the wrist covering portion 3 can be stably attached to the wrist, making it possible to stably prevent water from penetrating into glove b for a long period of time.

[0021] [Third embodiment] 9 and 10, glove 1c of the third embodiment is the same as glove 1a of the first embodiment except that it has cutout portion 7 where part of wrist covering portion 3 is cut away leaving opening 4, and does not have a first member and a second member. Therefore, the same parts as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and their description will be omitted.

[0022] In the method of putting on glove 1c of this embodiment, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, opening edge 8 of opening 4, which contacts cutout portion 7, is picked up and twisted. Opening edge 8 is twisted at least half a turn. Twisting opening edge 8 narrows opening 4, improving the fit between opening 4 and wrist 100. Next, twisted portion 10, which twists opening edge 8, is engaged with the portion of hand covering part 2 that covers the middle finger, thereby fixing elastic part 13 in a twisted state to hand covering part 2. In this way, glove c is put on hand 100.

[0023] According to the glove 1c of this embodiment and the method of wearing the glove 1c, the wrist covering portion 3 can be stably and closely attached to the wrist inside the glove, similar to the glove 1a of the first embodiment, making it possible to prevent water from entering stably for a long period of time.

[0024] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and various modifications are possible. For example, in the method of putting on gloves of this embodiment, the pinched portion of the opening 4 is twisted and fixed to the hand covering part 2 or the wrist covering part 3, but the fixing method is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, an adhesive or a pressure-sensitive adhesive can be used to fix the pinched portion of the opening 4 in a twisted state. [Explanation of symbols]
