Description

Inside-out prevention gloves

[0001] The present invention relates to gloves that prevent the fingers and the main body from turning inside out when removed, facilitating attachment and detachment.

[0002] In existing gloves, when removing them, the hand and the glove adhere closely, and the glove often turns inside out from the finger part, which has a negative impact on work efficiency during attachment and detachment.

[0003] In existing gloves, when removing them, due to sweat or moisture adhering to the hand, the hand and the glove adhere closely, and the glove often turns inside out from the finger part, which has a negative impact on work efficiency during attachment and detachment.

[0004] In existing plastic gloves, when removing them, the hand and the glove adhere closely, and it is difficult to reattach the glove because it turns inside out from the finger part. Therefore, after removal, they are often discarded and replaced with new ones, which increases the generation of plastic waste and causes a higher environmental burden.

[0005] Japanese Utility Model Application No. 03-055812, Japanese Patent Application No. 2007-277969, Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-004893, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2024-102781

[0006] When removing the gloves, by preventing the finger part from adhering to the finger and turning inside out from the finger part, it is possible to prevent the finger part and the main body from turning inside out when reinstalling, thus improving the problem of reduced work efficiency.

[0007] When removing plastic gloves, the finger part of the glove adheres to the finger and turns inside out. When reinstalling, it is necessary to straighten the turned - inside - out finger parts one by one, resulting in reduced work efficiency. Therefore, after removal, they are often discarded and replaced with new gloves, thus improving the environmental problem of increased plastic waste generated thereby.

[0008] When temporarily removing the gloves, they are often placed directly on the table and then reinstalled, which has an adverse effect on hygiene.

[0009] The invention according to claim 1 is a glove in which rod - shaped connectors extending from each finger part on the dorsal side are continuously connected to a single grip at their tips. By gripping the grip with the other hand's fingers when removing, it is possible to prevent the finger part and the main body part from turning inside out, facilitating attachment and detachment. (Optional figure) Figure 8

[0010] The invention according to claim 2 is a glove having a single grip formed by rod-shaped members extending from each finger on the back of the hand, which are connected in an arch shape to adjacent fingers, and by gripping the grip with the fingers of the other hand while removing the glove, it is possible to prevent the fingers and the main body from turning inside out, making it easy to put on and take off the glove.

[0011] The invention according to claim 3 is a glove other than a rubber glove, wherein the glove is constructed of a back of the hand and a palm, with the interfacial portions of the back of the hand or palm connected by a band-like portion, or the back of the hand and palm, with the interfacial portions of the back of the hand and palm, respectively, connected to each other by band-like portions, with a cavity provided in the connected interfacial portion, so that a hook installed on a wall can be inserted into the cavity and hung on the part where the interfacial portions are connected, and when removing the glove, the fingers of the other hand can be inserted into the cavity and hooked onto the part where the interfacial portions are connected to remove it, thereby preventing the fingers and the main body from turning inside out, and in order to increase the range of motion of the fingers, the connected portion is formed to become loose when the distance between the fingers narrows, making it easy to put on and take off.

[0013] Conventional gloves have a cumbersome process of removing them because the inside of the fingers sticks to the fingers, causing the gloves to turn inside out when removed, and requiring each finger to be straightened when putting them back on. However, the gloves of the present invention connect the fingers to prevent them from turning inside out, and by pulling the connected inter-finger sections towards the fingertips when removing the gloves, the gloves do not turn inside out, and it is possible to easily put them on without having to straighten any fingers that have turned inside out, thus improving the problem of reduced work efficiency. In addition, the gloves can be hung by passing a hook attached to the wall through the gap in the inter-finger section, allowing them to dry and improving hygiene. Conventional disposable plastic gloves also suffer from the problem of the fingers sticking tightly to the fingers during removal, causing the glove to turn inside out. Re-wearing requires correcting each finger individually, reducing work efficiency, and often resulting in discarding and replacing the gloves. However, the present invention connects the fingers to prevent them from turning inside out. By pulling the connected inter-finger section towards the fingertips during removal, the gloves prevent turning inside out, and re-wearing eliminates the need to correct the fingers, allowing for easier insertion and extending the lifespan of a single glove. This reduces the need for frequent disposal of disposable gloves and contributes to reducing plastic waste. If a grip is provided at the top of the fingers, the glove can be easily removed by gripping it with the other hand, preventing it from turning inside out. Furthermore, the glove can be dried by hanging it on a hook attached to a wall through the cavity between the grip and the glove, contributing to improved hygiene.

[0015] The embodiments shown below are illustrative examples of devices and methods for realizing the technical idea of ​​the invention, and are not limited to those described below; various modifications can be made. In particular, the drawings are schematic and may differ from reality. The gloves according to the present invention are not limited to the uses shown in the following embodiments, but can be implemented in a variety of forms depending on the application, such as work gloves, medical gloves, sports gloves (e.g., golf, baseball, cycling, etc.), casual gloves, and cold-weather gloves. The basic technical idea of ​​the present invention is similarly applicable to these applications as well. Furthermore, the gloves of the present invention have the same structure for both the left and right hands as the right hand gloves and are formed symmetrically.

[0016] In Example 1, the anti-reverse gloves A of the present invention are manufactured for both hands using polyethylene material by bonding the back of the hand B and palm C, which are connected by a band-like portion about 2 cm below the fingertips, with sufficient width between the fingertips for the fingers to move freely during work, and the outer adhesive portion 15, excluding the insertion portion 14. The thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger are inserted into the insertion portion 14 of the anti-reverse gloves A of the present invention for both hands. To remove the gloves, the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger are inserted into the cavity 10 of the other hand with one hand, the fingers are hooked onto the respective band-like portions 2, 4, 6, and 8, and one hand is removed from the insertion portion 14 while pulling toward the fingertips of the glove to be removed. The other anti-reverse gloves A are removed from the hand using the same procedure. The fingers to be inserted into each cavity may be removed according to the user's preference. When worn, the fingers appear to be restricted due to the band-like section connecting them, but all movements are possible. For example, when using gripping tools such as chopsticks, spoons, or forks while wearing the gloves, the handles can be passed through the cavities 10 before use, allowing for normal movements. Furthermore, for chopsticks, which are difficult to use, the band-like section is located about 2 cm below the fingertips, increasing the range of motion and allowing the fingertips to be placed between the two chopsticks, enabling the same movements as when not wearing gloves. By passing the handle through the cavities 10 before use, gripping tools used in all industries, not just eating utensils, can be used in the same way. Depending on the material, it is also possible to hold gripping tools by passing the handle through the notches 35 made in the interdigital space between the thumb and index finger, as in the anti-reverse glove I. In Example 1, the back of the hand B and palm C of the right-hand portion of the anti-reverse glove were bonded together with adhesive part 15. However, by attaching the band-like parts 2, 4, 6, and 8 to each finger in a separate process to allow for slack, the range of motion of the fingers can be further increased, improving work efficiency. In Example 1, the inter-finger sections were connected with band-like parts, but other shapes are also conceivable, such as those with circular cavities in the inter-finger sections, as in anti-reverse glove H, or those connecting the inter-finger sections or fingers with string-like materials or rounded, easy-to-grip materials.In Example 1, the band-like portion was positioned approximately 2 cm below the fingertips. However, since this affects the range of motion of the fingers, it is intended to be positioned appropriately depending on the work application. Depending on the work, an appropriate position for the band-like portion is to connect the area between the first and second joints of the index, middle, ring, and little fingers with the area in front of and behind the first joint of the thumb. This increases the degree of freedom when bending the joints, expands the range of motion of the fingers during work, and prevents the glove from turning inside out. The process of bonding the back of the hand B and the palm C is mainly intended for mass production in factories, so a wide variety of bonding methods and procedures are envisioned. In Example 1, polyethylene was used for manufacturing, but it can be used for disposable gloves made of plastic materials such as polyvinyl chloride, or gloves made of elastomer materials, or gloves with different materials, shapes, or structures. (Selected figures) Figures 1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14.

[0017] In Example 2, the hook 16 is passed through one of the cavities 10, 11, 12, or 13 of the anti-reverse glove A of the present invention, and then attached to the respective strip-shaped portions 2, 4, 6, and 8. (Selected Figures) Figures 1 and 3

[0018] Example 3 is a method of removing the anti-reverse glove A manufactured in Example 1 from the hand using the method of Example 1, in which one hand is used to hook fingers onto the respective band-shaped portions 2, 4, 6, and 8 of the other anti-reverse glove and pull to remove it, but by using the anti-reverse glove auxiliary tool D to remove the anti-reverse glove A from the hand using only one hand. The anti-reverse glove auxiliary tool D, which has a base portion 21 and rod-shaped portions 17, 18, 19, and 20, is made of a metal material that is heavy enough to be fixed on a stand. Similar to Example 1, when removing the anti-reverse glove A after putting it on, the cavity 10 is passed through the rod-shaped portion 17, the cavity 11 through the rod-shaped portion 18, the cavity 12 through the rod-shaped portion 19, and the cavity 13 through the rod-shaped portion 20, and the anti-reverse glove A is removed from the hand by hooking fingers onto the respective band-shaped portions 2, 4, 6, and 8 and pulling. In Example 3, the glove reversal support D was manufactured from a metal material. However, by using adhesive on the back of the glove reversal support D to fix it to the base, the use of a wide variety of relatively light materials other than metal is also envisioned. (Selected figures) Figures 1, 4, and 5

[0019] Example 4 is an anti-reverse glove made of elastomer material. An anti-reverse glove G is attached to the upper part of the fingers on the back of the glove E, with a rod-shaped piece of the same material, approximately 2 cm high, connecting the grip F to the glove E. To remove the glove, the user inserts their index finger into the cavity 31 of the grip F of the anti-reverse glove G, their middle finger into the cavity 32, their ring finger into the cavity 33, and their little finger into the cavity 34, from the base of the fingers of the anti-reverse glove G. They grasp the grip F and pull the anti-reverse glove G towards the fingertips to remove it from their hand, preventing the fingers and the main body from turning inside out and facilitating removal. This anti-reverse glove is manufactured for both hands, and the left-hand portion is attached and removed using the same procedure. The fingers to be placed in each cavity are to be removed according to the user's preference. The grip F is connected by a rod-shaped section with a plate-like structure, but we are also considering a design where the finger sections are connected by the rod-shaped section to create a ring shape, allowing the fingers of the opposite hand to be hooked. In Example 4, the rod-shaped section for the grip F is provided at a height of about 2 cm, but it is intended to be placed in an appropriate position considering the application and the size of the user's hand. In Example 4, elastomer material was used for manufacturing, but it can be used for gloves with different materials, shapes, or structures. (Selected figures) Figures 8 and 9
