Adjustable Work Glove Strap for Universal Sensor Fit
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing gloves with electrical triggers are not universally sized, leading to increased production, logistics, and storage costs due to the need for different sizes to accommodate varying hand sizes of users.
Innovation Solution
A glove design featuring a dorsal section, strap section, and trigger, with a detachable fastening system using a strap that passes through an opening and secures to the hand, allowing for reliable fitting across different hand sizes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If gloves are provided in different sizes to accommodate varying hand sizes, then the glove fits different users reliably, but production, logistics, and storage costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The glove is designed with a universal size that can accommodate different hand sizes through an adjustable strap section. The dorsal section serves multiple functions: it provides the main glove structure, contains the trigger mechanism, and works with the strap section to achieve size adaptation. This eliminates the need for multiple glove sizes while maintaining reliable fit across different users.
2Reliability
If a strap section is added to secure the glove along the palm, then the glove can be fastened securely to different-sized hands, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The strap section is merged with the dorsal section to form an integrated fastening system. The strap section extends from the dorsal section and works together with it to secure the glove, eliminating the need for separate fastening components. This reduces overall device complexity while achieving reliable attachment.
3Strength
If a detachable fastening system with a first opening is used, then enough tensile force can be applied to fasten the dorsal section securely, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening system is segmented into the dorsal section with a first opening and the strap section that passes through it. This segmentation allows the strap to be pulled through and secured, creating a detachable fastening mechanism that provides sufficient tensile force while remaining relatively simple to manufacture.

AI summary
A work glove including a dorsal section, a strap section, a trigger and a holder for an electronic module. The dorsal section includes a first opening on the side-of-the-hand edge and the strap section extends from the thumb-side edge or the dorsal section includes a first opening on the thumb-side edge and the strap section extends from the side-of-the-hand edge of the dorsal section. The strap section passes through the first opening and a portion of the strap section that passed through the first opening fastens the dorsal section detachably. Moreover, a wearable sensor device is shown.
