Glove Finger Segmentation for Rapid Removal
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing sport gloves, such as golf gloves, are difficult to remove quickly and efficiently while wearing, especially during play, as the finger insertion parts require individual removal and can interfere with grasping clubs or bats, and existing solutions like finger hooks or strings complicate the process and hinder grip functionality.
Innovation Solution
A glove design featuring a hooking cord attached to the back side of three finger insertion parts, allowing simultaneous removal by hooking with the little finger of the opposite hand, with fixing and holding portions to secure the cord laterally, ensuring no interference with finger engagement and easy grip maintenance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If the glove closely engages the hand and fingers during play, then the grip on the club is improved, but the time required to remove the glove increases substantially
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides the finger insertion parts into multiple segments with spaces between them, allowing the fingers to be released individually or in groups. This segmentation enables the glove to maintain close engagement during play while allowing rapid removal by exploiting the spaces between finger insertion parts.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention extracts the disturbance caused by complete coverage by intentionally creating spaces between adjacent finger insertion parts. These spaces are strategically positioned to allow fingers to be pulled out easily during removal while maintaining close engagement during use.
2Loss of time
If finger hooks or strings are added to enable easy removal, then the glove removal speed is improved, but the structure becomes complicated and manufacturing becomes troublesome
Solution Approach 1:
The invention removes the need for additional removal mechanisms by extracting the disturbance that prevents easy removal - namely, the continuous coverage of fingers. By creating spaces between finger insertion parts, the glove achieves easy removal without adding hooks, strings, or other complex mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses a simple, minimal structure for the finger insertion parts that prioritizes ease of removal over permanent attachment. The spaces between parts create a disposable-like ease of removal without the complexity of dedicated removal mechanisms.
3Ease of operation
If multiple finger insertion parts are thinned to enable easy removal, then the glove removal is facilitated, but the control of approach shot or putting is not effectively achieved and the structure becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The invention segments the finger insertion parts with spaces between them, creating a structured division that facilitates removal. This segmentation is more effective than thinning individual parts, as it creates clear separation zones that allow fingers to be pulled out easily while maintaining overall structural integrity.
4Ease of operation
If finger hooking rings are provided on all finger insertion parts, then the glove can be removed, but every finger must be hooked which takes considerable time and interferes with quick removal
Solution Approach 1:
The invention removes the need for hooking operations entirely by creating spaces between finger insertion parts. This extraction of the coverage continuity allows fingers to be pulled out directly without requiring hooks, rings, or other engagement mechanisms that would require time-consuming operations.

AI summary
There is included a hooking cord 52 disposed on the back side of said finger insertion parts and held in and over at least three finger insertion parts 40C, 40D and 40E corresponding to a middle finger, a third finger and a little finger among the five finger insertion parts 40A through 40E of the glove body 10B so as to adjust a distance between the adjacent finger insertion parts whereby the three finger insertion parts can be pulled simultaneously by hooking the hooking cord 52 with a little finger of a hand not wearing the glove and grasping the finger insertion parts 40A and 40B corresponding the thumb and the first finger with a thumb and a first finger of the hand not wearing the glove 10.
