Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Gloves often lack sensitivity when handling small objects, making tasks like assembling screws at high altitudes inconvenient due to the need to repeatedly retrieve screws from pockets or containers.
Innovation Solution
A magnetic glove with a magnetic adsorption component on the back of the main body part, allowing for easy fixation and retrieval of screws without removing the glove, enhancing convenience and work efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If gloves are worn to protect hands or prevent contamination, then protection function is improved, but sensitivity when handling small objects deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The glove is segmented into functional zones: the palm area contains magnetic adsorption components for securing small objects, while the finger tips maintain traditional tactile sensitivity for handling. This segmentation allows different parts of the glove to serve different functions - protection where needed and dexterity where needed.
Solution Approach 2:
Magnetic adsorption components serve as intermediaries between the glove and small objects like screws. These magnetic elements allow small objects to be securely held without direct contact through the glove material, solving the problem of handling small objects while maintaining glove protection.
2Reliability
If gloves are worn to protect hands, then protection function is improved, but convenience of retrieving small objects from pockets deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The magnetic adsorption components are pre-installed on the glove surface, creating ready-to-use attachment points for small objects. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need to repeatedly reach into pockets during work, as screws and similar objects can be directly attached to and removed from the magnetic components on the glove.
Solution Approach 2:
The glove becomes self-serving by providing built-in storage and retrieval functionality through magnetic components. The glove actively facilitates the handling of small objects without requiring external assistance from pockets or containers, making the system more autonomous and efficient.
3Ease of operation
If magnetic adsorption components are added to improve screw fixation, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The magnetic adsorption components are implemented as simple, inexpensive magnetic elements that can be easily integrated into the glove structure. These components provide effective magnetic fixation without requiring complex mechanical systems, using the simplest possible solution (magnetic elements) to achieve the desired function.

AI summary
The invention discloses a magnetic glove, which comprises a body and a first magnetic adsorption component. The body comprises a main body part and multiple finger parts connected to the main body part, and the first magnetic adsorption component is arranged on the back side of the main body part. The invention sets the first magnetic adsorption component on the back side of the main body part, facilitating the use of magnetic adsorption to fix screws and other components. This does not affect the normal function of the gloves and allows the other hand to easily pick up the screws, avoiding the need to repeatedly grab screws from pockets or containers, especially in cramped spaces where this is difficult. Therefore, the use of gloves in this scheme greatly improves the convenience of using screws and is also beneficial for improving work efficiency.
