[0001] The present invention relates to gloves. In particular, it is a glove that protects or treats the skin of the hand and wrist by being worn on the hand by a patient having a skin disease or the like.

Background Art

[0002] In the case of a patient having a skin disease such as atopic dermatitis, itching, eczema, abrasions, nodules, etc. are likely to occur mainly on the fingers and wrists. Therefore, the affected area becomes itchy and the patient may scratch the affected area with the hand. And, by scratching the affected area with the hand, the skin condition deteriorates.

[0003] Such a situation can also occur in skin diseases other than atopic dermatitis.

[0004] Therefore, for patients having a skin disease, for example, there are gloves such as those in Patent Documents 1 to 5 below as an example.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] Wearing gloves can be beneficial for patients with skin conditions because it can prevent them from scratching their skin directly with their hands. However, in the case of infants, young children, or other children, wearing gloves may cause discomfort, and they may consciously or unconsciously try to remove them.

[0007] Therefore, the gloves described in Patent Documents 1 to 5 are equipped with a strap-like fastener, such as a belt, to prevent the gloves from being removed.

[0008] However, when using fasteners such as belts to prevent removal, the force is applied in a narrow, band-like manner to secure the gloves and prevent them from coming off. As a result, pressure is concentrated in a small area, which may leave marks from the fastener, and if the fastening is too tight, it may cause pain to the patient. In particular, infants and young children who have difficulty explaining their situation may not be able to describe the pain they are experiencing, and their caregivers may not notice and could even worsen the condition. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] In view of the above problems, the inventors have invented gloves that can be worn by patients with skin diseases or the like to protect or treat the skin on their hands and wrists.

[0010] The first invention is a glove that prevents infants and children from scratching their wrists and protects the skin of the hands and wrists, wherein the glove has a main body portion and a wrist portion formed integrally, the wrist portion has a first portion close to the main body portion and a second portion that overlaps and is fixed to the first portion, and by folding the second portion outward at the folded portion of the wrist portion, the first portion and the second portion are made Sew the wrist portion to the main body side. The wrist portion is fixed, and the wrist portion is relative to the longitudinal length of the main body portion. 60% to 100% length And, The fabric of the aforementioned gloves is cotton or silk. It's a glove.

[0011] As in the present invention, by creating a two-layer structure in which the wrist portion is overlapped with a first and second portion, it is possible to fix the glove in a close, surface-like manner rather than fixing it in a narrow, strip-like manner as in conventional gloves. This prevents children, especially infants and toddlers, from consciously or unconsciously removing the glove, and also distributes the pressure on the skin. By making the wrist portion longer than conventional gloves, it is possible to prevent children, especially infants and toddlers, from consciously or unconsciously removing the gloves. If the wrist portion is too long, it becomes difficult to put on the gloves. Therefore, experiments conducted by the inventors of this invention have shown that a length of approximately the length of this invention is preferable. It is preferable to sew and secure the first and second parts of the wrist area. This reduces the burden on the skin of patients with skin conditions, as no materials other than fabric and thread are used. Using cotton or silk for the fabric can reduce the burden on the skin of patients with skin conditions.

[0020] The second invention is a glove that prevents infants and children from scratching their wrists and protects the skin of the hands and wrists, wherein the glove is integrally formed with a main body and a wrist portion, the wrist portion having a first portion close to the main body and a second portion that overlaps and is fixed to the first portion, the first portion and the second portion are overlapped and fixed by folding the second portion outward at the folded portion of the wrist portion, and the length of the wrist portion is 50% to 150% of the longitudinal length of the main body. The first and second parts are fastened together by one or more of the following: buttons, snap buttons, or hook-and-loop fasteners. It's a glove.

[0021] The method for fixing the first and second parts may be the method described in the present invention. [Effects of the Invention]

[0026] The gloves of this invention can be worn by patients with skin diseases or other conditions to protect or treat the skin on their hands and wrists. Unlike conventional gloves, there is no string-like fastener, so the pressure concentrated by the fastener does not cause the symptoms to worsen. In addition, the long, folded-over, two-layer structure of the wrist portion makes it difficult for children to remove the gloves, preventing them from removing them consciously or unconsciously.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0028] An example of the glove 1 of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 1 to 6. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the glove 1 of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view of the glove 1 of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the glove 1 of the present invention, FIG. 4 is a right side view of the glove 1 of the present invention, FIG. 5 is a left side view of the glove 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of the glove 1 of the present invention. FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of the cross-sectional view of the wrist part 11 in FIG. 6.

[0029] The glove 1 has a main body part 10 and a wrist part 11. The main body part 10 and the wrist part 11 are integrally formed, and as will be described later, the folding back of the wrist part 11 is at the position of the end of the main body part 10. The glove 1 of the present invention is preferably 100% cotton or 100% silk in order to prevent the influence on skin diseases.

[0030] The main body 10 houses the palm and fingers. The main body 10 may be branched into five sections to house each of the five fingers, or it may be branched into two sections, one for the thumb and the other four fingers, with the thumb housed in the thumb section and the other four fingers housed together. The main body 10 can be any shape as long as it can house the palm and fingers.

[0031] The wrist portion 11 is formed to be longer than that of a normal glove 1, preferably to be about 50% to 150% of the longitudinal length of the main body portion 10 (from the tip of the middle finger to the end of the main body portion 10). Preferably, it is formed to be about 60% to 100% of the longitudinal length of the main body portion 10, and even more preferably, it is about 65% to 80% of the length of the main body portion 10. The length of the wrist portion 11 should be long enough to prevent the patient wearing the glove 1 from scratching the affected area on their wrist.

[0032] The wrist portion 11 has an opening 110 formed at the end opposite to the main body portion 10 for inserting the palm and fingers into the glove 1. The wrist portion 11 is integrally formed with the main body portion 10, and the opening 110 is formed by folding it inward or outward at a position that is longer than that of a normal glove 1. The other folded end of the wrist portion 11 is fixed to the end of the main body portion 10 by sewing or other means.

[0033] Specifically, as shown in Figure 8, the wrist portion 11 has a first portion 11a that is close to the main body portion 10 and a second portion 11b that is farther from the main body portion 10, and a fold is made at a folded portion 11c near the longitudinal center of the first portion 11a and the second portion 11b. This fold causes the first portion 11a and the second portion 11b to overlap and be fixed, and the arm-side end of the second portion 11b and the main body portion 10-side end of the first portion 11a are fixed together at a fixing portion 11d, for example, by sewing them together. The folded portion 11c also forms an insertion opening 110. Figure 9 shows the fixing portion 11d.

[0034] Either the first part 11a or the second part 11b can be positioned on the outside. If the second part 11b is folded outwards at the folded part 11c, the second part 11b will be on the outside. If the second part 11b is folded inwards at the folded part 11c, the first part 11a will be on the outside.

[0035] By folding the fabric of the wrist portion 11 to create a double layer (two-layer structure), the wrist portion 11 can be made to fit snugly against the wrist. Also, since the wrist portion 11 is formed to be longer than a normal glove 1, it can deter patients from scratching their wrists. Furthermore, by making the wrist portion 11 double layer (two-layer structure), the degree of fit around the wrist is increased, making it more difficult to remove the glove 1, and especially deterring infants and children from consciously or unconsciously removing the glove 1. In addition, since removal is prevented at the wrist, belt-like fasteners such as belts are not required as in conventional gloves. Moreover, because the wide surface of the wrist portion prevents the glove 1 from being removed, the pressure is distributed, which can also reduce the load on the skin.

[0036] In addition, if the glove 1 is worn after applying the medication to the affected area or vicinity of the hand or wrist, the glove 1 can prevent the medication from being removed, allowing the medication to exert its effects for a longer period of time.

[0037] Figure 10 shows an example of a photograph of the glove of the present invention.

[0038] The wrist portion 11 can be formed by folding a first portion 11a and a second portion 11b, which are formed integrally, at a folded portion 11c and suturing them at a fixing portion 11d. Alternatively, the first portion 11a and the second portion 11b, which are formed as independent portions (parts not formed integrally), can be overlapped and sutured at a fixing portion 11d. In this case, the first portion 11a and the second portion 11b are formed and fixed to approximately the same length.

[0039] Furthermore, the method of fixing the first part 11a and the second part 11b of the wrist portion 11 is not limited to sewing, but any one or more of the following methods can be adopted: attaching a button to the first part 11a or the second part 11b and providing a buttonhole at the corresponding position on the other part and fastening with the button; attaching a concave part of a snap button to the first part 11a or the second part 11b and a convex part of a snap button at the corresponding position on the other part and fastening with a snap button; or fixing the first part 11a and the second part 11b with hook and loop fasteners. [Industrial applicability]

[0040] The gloves 1 of the present invention can be worn by patients with skin diseases or other conditions to protect or treat the skin on their hands and wrists. Unlike conventional gloves, there is no string-like fastener, so the pressure concentrated by the fastener does not cause the symptoms to worsen. In addition, the wrist portion 11 is long and has a double-layered structure with a folded-over section, making it difficult for children to remove the gloves 1, and preventing children from removing the gloves 1 consciously or unconsciously.
