Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a modular double-structure glove capable of replacing a functional outer shell with improved usability, wherein the outer shell (outer glove) made of a shape and material tailored to the function according to the usage (work) environment can be replaced and applied. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, gloves worn by users are used to protect their hands in various work environments or to prevent contamination of work materials.

[0003] Various types of gloves are manufactured and used to suit each task, such as cotton gloves made using cotton yarn and rubber gloves molded from rubber.

[0004] Meanwhile, various double-structured gloves are being proposed to satisfy workability and health and hygiene by having a double structure consisting of an inner layer that contacts the user's hand and an outer layer that contacts the workpiece.

[0005] One example is Korean Utility Model Publication No. 20-1998-030093 (Title: Double rubber glove containing cotton glove / Published on August 17, 1998). As disclosed in the publication, the double rubber glove is described in which concave grooves are formed in the fingernail, wrist, and forearm portions of the inner and outer bodies of a conventional rubber glove, and convex protrusions are formed in the fingernail, wrist, and forearm portions of the inner body of a cotton glove to enable the attachment and detachment of the inner and outer bodies, and a loop is attached to the forearm portion such that the part hooked onto the nail faces toward the finger.

[0006] In addition, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-2108774 (Title: Silicone Sock and Silicone Glove for Receiving a Replaceable Moisturizing Sheet / Published on May 8, 2020), as disclosed in the publication, a silicone glove for receiving a replaceable moisturizing sheet is described, wherein a replaceable disposable moisturizing sheet glove in the form of a non-woven fabric for receiving cosmetics or ointment is worn first, and a silicone glove comprising a protruding silicone glove that includes a plurality of protrusions inside the silicone glove to prevent the cosmetics or ointment from drying out quickly is described.

[0007] Meanwhile, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0484637 (Title: Double Cotton Glove / Published on Oct. 12, 2017) describes a double cotton glove comprising: an inner layer woven from cotton yarn to form a finger glove shape as disclosed in the publication; a rubber layer covering all or part of the outer surface of the inner layer; and an outer layer woven from cotton yarn to cover all or part of the outer surface of the rubber layer. The double cotton glove further comprises a fixing projection consisting of a stem portion protruding from the outer surface of the rubber layer and penetrating the outer layer, and a head portion provided at the end of the stem portion and coupled to cover the outer surface of the outer layer, with a cross-sectional area larger than that of the stem portion.

[0008] In addition, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0146925 (Title: Scrubber Rubber Glove / Published on June 15, 1999) describes a known rubber glove in which a scouring pad is attached to the entire palm with latex rubber glue as disclosed in the publication; wherein the inner glove is installed within the rubber glove so as to be detachable and replaceable using adhesive tape, and is composed of an absorbent paper coated with hydrogel on the liquid-permeable film and a hydrophilic nonwoven fabric in sequence. Prior art literature

[0009] Korean Utility Model Publication No. 20-1998-030093 (Published Aug. 17, 1998) Korean Patent Registration No. 10-2108774 (Announced May 8, 2020) Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0484637 (Announced Oct. 12, 2017) Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0146925 (Announced June 15, 1999) The problem to be solved

[0010] However, conventional gloves formed with a double structure as described above had the problem of limited usability because they consisted of a simple combination of an outer shell and an inner shell.

[0011] In other words, there was a problem with reduced usability because the outer shell (outer glove) could not be replaced with one made of a shape and material tailored to the function depending on the usage (work) environment.

[0013] The present invention is proposed to solve the aforementioned conventional problems. The objective of the present invention is to provide a modular double-structure glove with a functional outer shell that allows for replacement, thereby improving usability by enabling the replacement of an outer shell (outer glove) made of a shape and material tailored to the function according to the usage (work) environment. Furthermore, another objective of the present invention is to provide a modular double-structure glove with a functional outer shell that allows for replacement, wherein the inner shell and the outer shell are detachably combined so that the user can replace the outer shell according to the work environment. The outer shell is equipped with various functionalities such as waterproof, heat-resistant, and cut-resistant types to provide protection suitable for different industrial and work environments. Additionally, friction-resistant members are placed on the contact surfaces between the inner and outer shells to enhance bonding stability, and durability and comfort are improved even during prolonged use. means of solving the problem

[0014] A modular double-structure glove with a replaceable functional outer shell according to the present invention, for achieving the above-described objective of the present invention, is characterized by comprising: an inner shell that is fitted onto the user's hand and worn; an outer shell that is detachably coupled to the inner shell while the inner shell is fitted; and an inner shell friction member and an outer shell friction member that are respectively provided on the contact surfaces of the inner shell and the outer shell to form frictional resistance against each other. Effects of the invention

[0015] The modular double-structured glove with replaceable functional outer shell according to the present invention, which is formed in this manner, allows for the selection and combination of an outer shell made of a shape and material tailored to the function according to the usage (work) environment among a plurality of outer shells each having various functions (e.g., waterproof / resistant type, heat-resistant type for welding, cut-resistant type for construction sites, etc.) in a single inner shell, thereby enabling replacement application. This has the effect of realizing economic benefits by concentrating expensive functional materials only on the outer shell, thereby drastically reducing maintenance costs compared to replacing the entire product.

[0016] In addition, it has the effect of reducing hygiene problems (odor, eczema) caused by sweat and bacterial growth in ordinary gloves, and solving the problem of resource waste and high cost burden where the entire glove must be discarded even if only a part of it is worn out.

[0017] In this case, by separating the inner layer (inner glove) and the outer layer (outer glove), the inner layer can be dualized to focus on 'high functionality and reuse,' while the outer layer focuses on 'task-specific specialization and consumables,' thereby improving usability.

[0018] In particular, the inner skin and the outer skin are made to come into contact with each other through frictional resistance via the inner skin friction member and the outer skin friction member, thereby preventing the outer skin from sliding against the inner skin when gripping an object or applying a load, thus ensuring work stability.

Specific details for implementing the invention

[0020] Hereinafter, with reference to the attached drawings, a modular double-structured glove with a replaceable functional outer shell according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail as follows.

[0021] Embodiments of the present invention may be modified in various forms, and the scope of the present invention should not be interpreted as being limited to the embodiments described in detail below. These embodiments are provided to more fully explain the present invention to those with average knowledge in the art. Accordingly, the shapes of elements in the drawings may be exaggerated to emphasize clearer explanations. It should be noted that in each drawing, identical components may be depicted with the same reference numeral. Detailed descriptions of known functions and configurations that are deemed to unnecessarily obscure the essence of the present invention are omitted.

[0023] FIGS. 1 to 7 are drawings showing a modular double-structure glove (1) capable of replacing a functional outer shell according to one embodiment of the present invention. The modular double-structure glove (1) capable of replacing a functional outer shell according to the present embodiment includes an inner shell (2) that is fitted onto the user's hand and worn; and an outer shell (3) that is detachably coupled to the inner shell (2) while being fitted.

[0024] That is, regarding the inner layer (2) worn on the worker's hand, the outer layer (3) is made of a shape and material that is customized to various usage (work) environments, such as a waterproof / oil-resistant work environment, a heat-resistant work environment for welding, and a cutting work environment at a construction site, and is worn by replacing it as needed to provide such function.

[0025] Accordingly, among the multiple outer shells (3) each having various functions, the outer shell (3) selected by the user is applied to the single inner shell (2). This allows the expensive functional material to be concentrated only on the outer shell (3), so the entire glove does not need to be replaced. Consequently, hygiene problems (odor, eczema) caused by sweat and bacterial growth in conventional gloves are reduced, and economic benefits are realized by eliminating resource waste and cost burdens associated with having to discard the entire glove even if only a part is worn out.

[0026] In addition, the inner layer (2) and the outer layer (3) are separated and combined to form a single unit, so that the inner layer (2) is configured with a focus on 'high functionality and reuse' and the outer layer (3) is configured with a focus on 'task-specific specialization and consumables', allowing for dual configuration, thereby improving versatility, diversity, and usability.

[0028] In the above, the inner lining (2) can be formed by blending antibacterial fibers containing silver ions or copper ions.

[0029] That is, the antibacterial and deodorizing properties of the above antibacterial fiber are imparted to the inner lining (2), thereby promoting health and hygiene of the palm.

[0031] In the above, the inner layer (2) can be formed of a ‘breathable fabric’ that spatially connects the user’s skin and the outer layer (3).

[0032] That is, the inner layer (2) can be formed with a '3D spacer mesh' or a 'moisture-wicking and quick-drying functional fabric' to form a continuous air channel between the skin (hand) and the outer layer (3), thereby allowing air to circulate, so that sweat and moisture released from the user's hand during work can be released along with the air, thereby increasing the comfort of the hand.

[0034] In the above, the inner lining (2) is manufactured using a compression fit and a seamless method that reduces hand fatigue and eliminates seams, thereby improving work stability.

[0036] In the above, one of a plurality of outer shells (3) having different functions depending on the working environment, such as waterproof, heat-resistant, and cut-resistant types, can be selected and combined with the inner shell (2).

[0037] That is, the outer shell (3), which is made of a shape and material that is tailored to various usage (work) environments such as a waterproof / oil-resistant work environment, a heat-resistant work environment for welding, and a cutting work environment at a construction site, can be applied to the inner shell (2) to be used as a single unit, thereby providing a function tailored to each work.

[0039] The modular double-structured glove (1) capable of replacing the functional outer shell according to this embodiment comprises: an inner shell friction member (4) provided on the contact surfaces of the inner shell (2) and the outer shell (3) respectively to form frictional resistance against each other; and an outer shell friction member (5).

[0040] That is, frictional resistance is formed when the inner skin (2) and the outer skin (3) come into contact with each other through the inner skin friction member (4) and the outer skin friction member (5).

[0041] Accordingly, when gripping a work object (not shown) or applying force, the outer shell (3) is prevented from moving and sliding against the inner shell (2).

[0042] Therefore, the stability of the operation is ensured.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 3, the inner friction member (4) and the outer friction member (5) are respectively provided at the portion where the user's fingertip (F) is placed on the inner skin (2) and the outer skin (3), and may form frictional resistance when in contact with each other.

[0045] That is, when the inner skin friction member (4) and the outer skin friction member (5) are provided over the entire surface area of ​​the inner skin (2) and the outer skin (3), when the outer skin (3) is worn on the inner skin (2), frictional resistance is formed over the entire surface area, so that the wearing process does not become uncomfortable.

[0046] In addition, when gripping a workpiece or applying force (load), the outer skin (5) is prevented from slipping through the inner skin friction member (4) and the outer skin friction member (5) at the fingertip joint (F) where force is mainly applied to the workpiece, thereby ensuring stable operation.

[0048] As shown in FIG. 3, the inner friction member (4) and the outer friction member (5) are each provided on the heel portion (H) of the user's palm, which includes the area where the thumb and pinky ridges are positioned, with respect to the inner skin (2) and the outer skin (3), and may form frictional resistance when in contact with each other.

[0049] That is, when gripping a workpiece or applying force (load), the outer shell (3) is prevented from slipping through the inner shell friction member (4) and the outer shell friction member (5) at the heel area (H) where force is mainly applied to the workpiece, thereby allowing the work to be performed stably.

[0051] As shown in FIG. 3, the inner friction member (4) and the outer friction member (5) are provided at the bone head portion (B) where the head portion of the metacarpal bone is positioned on the palm of the user with respect to the inner skin (2) and the outer skin (3), and may form frictional resistance when in contact with each other.

[0052] That is, when gripping a workpiece or applying a load, the head portion of the metacarpal bone where the force is mainly applied to the workpiece is positioned at the bone head portion (B), and the inner skin friction member (4) and the outer skin friction member (5) prevent slipping of the outer skin (3), thereby ensuring stable operation.

[0054] In the above, the inner friction member (4) and the outer friction member (5) may be made of a ‘pad structure’ of ‘silicone material’ that is applied to the inner skin (2) and the outer skin (3) as shown in FIG. 4.

[0055] In other words, when 'pad structures' made of 'silicone material' and possessing 'elasticity' come into contact with each other, their mutual elasticity can repel one another to form frictional resistance.

[0057] In the above, the inner friction member (4) and the outer friction member (5) may be composed of a ‘protrusion structure (P)’ having a plurality of ‘protrusions’ made of ‘silicone material’ that are applied to the inner skin (2) and the outer skin (3).

[0058] That is, 'protrusion structures (P)' made of 'silicone material' and having material 'elasticity' can come into contact with each other and collide with each other to form frictional resistance.

[0060] The protrusions of the 'protrusion structure (P)' described above may be formed into a 'pyramid structure' in which the outer surface forms an 'inclined surface' centered on the central vertex, and the protrusions are arranged in a continuous repeating manner while forming columns and rows as illustrated in FIG. 6.

[0061] That is, through the protrusions formed in a 'pyramid structure', the inner friction member (4) and the outer friction member (5) come into close contact with each other's outer surfaces, thereby efficiently increasing the contact area and maximizing frictional resistance relative to the occupied space.

[0063] In the above, the inner friction member (4) and the outer friction member (5) are formed by being applied to the inner skin (2) and the outer skin (3), and may consist of a ‘network structure (N)’ having a ‘checkered pattern’ with a plurality of recesses formed on the surface and a ‘protrusion structure (P)’ having a plurality of ‘protrusions’ formed to prevent slipping while being fitted into the recesses.

[0064] That is, while the inner skin (2) and the outer skin (3) overlap and adhere to each other, the 'protrusions' of the 'protrusion structure (P)' are fitted into and accommodated in the portions of the 'network structure (N)', so that no sliding fluidity occurs.

[0066] Meanwhile, the modular double-structure glove (1) capable of replacing the functional outer shell according to the present embodiment may further include a binding means (6) configured to secure and bind the wrist portion (W) of the inner shell (2) and the outer shell (3) respectively, as illustrated in FIG. 7.

[0067] That is, the wrist portion (W) of the inner skin (2) and the outer skin (3) is firmly joined through the binding means (6), thereby preventing the outer skin (3) from being unintentionally removed, which can increase stability and safety during use.

[0068] Accordingly, the palm of the worker with respect to the work object secures stability of the work by restricting fluidity such as slipping through the inner friction member (4) and the outer friction member (5); and the inner skin (2) and the outer skin (3) are firmly bound to the hand of the worker at the wrist area (W) through the binding means (6) to prevent unauthorized removal, thereby increasing the safety of the work.

[0070] In the above, the binding means (6) is composed of a ‘snap button (also known as a snap button)’ that is fitted and connected at a position where the inner skin (2) and the outer skin (3) come into contact with each other at the wrist portion (W), thereby allowing the outer skin (3) to be connected and disconnected from the inner skin (2).

[0072] In the above, the binding means (6) is composed of a ‘magic tape (also known as Velcro)’ that is fitted and connected at a position where the inner skin (2) and the outer skin (3) come into contact with each other at the wrist area (W), thereby allowing the outer skin (3) to be connected and separated from the inner skin (2).

[0074] In the above, the binding means (6) is composed of an ‘elastic member (elastic band or magic band)’ that is configured to bind by adjusting the inner diameter of the wrist portion (W) of the outer skin (3) and compressing the wrist portion (W) of the inner skin (2), thereby enabling the outer skin (3) to be connected to and separated from the inner skin (2).

[0076] The modular double-structured glove (1) capable of replacing a functional outer shell according to the present embodiment as described above is characterized by a technical configuration in which, among a plurality of outer shells (3) each having various functions on a single inner shell (2), the outer shell (3) made of a shape and material that is tailored to the function according to the usage (work) environment is selected and combined for replacement application, and a 'dynamic binding structure' is formed to prevent the outer shell (3) from moving and sliding against the inner shell (2) through the inner shell friction member (4) and the outer shell friction member (5).

[0077] In addition, the wrist portion (W) of the inner skin (2) and the outer skin (3) is formed by binding through the binding means (6) to form a 'static fixing structure', thereby increasing the bonding strength, which is a feature of the technical configuration.

[0078] In this way, the parts of the inner skin (2) and the outer skin (3) where fluidity occurs during operation form a 'dynamic binding structure' through the inner skin friction member (4) and the outer skin friction member (5), and the wrist part (W) where fluidity does not occur during operation forms a 'static fixing structure' through the binding means (6), thereby simultaneously satisfying the stability of the operation and the rigidity of the binding structure, which is a characteristic of the technical configuration.

[0080] The embodiment of the present invention described above is merely illustrative, and those skilled in the art will readily understand that various modifications and equivalent alternative embodiments are possible therefrom. Therefore, it will be understood that the present invention is not limited only to the forms mentioned in the above detailed description. Accordingly, the true technical scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the technical spirit of the appended claims. Furthermore, the present invention should be understood to include all modifications, equivalents, and substitutions within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
