Seamless Glove Construction for Flexible, Comfortable Hand Movement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing gloves made of fabric material are uncomfortable due to seam structures, limiting flexibility and causing user discomfort, especially in work or sports requiring high degrees of flexibility.
Innovation Solution
A seamless glove design using special fabric materials and adhesion methods to eliminate seams, featuring a base fabric, thumb and finger fabrics adhered to form a semi-finished lining, and a wrist fabric adhered around the edge to create a seamless structure, enhancing comfort and flexibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional sewing methods are used to manufacture fabric gloves, then the manufacturing process is simple and well-established, but the seam structures cause user discomfort and limit flexibility
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the harmful seam structures from the glove by using adhesive bonding instead of traditional sewing. The adhesive layer completely eliminates seams, extracting the problematic element that causes discomfort and flexibility limitations while maintaining the protective function of the glove.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical sewing process with an adhesive bonding system. Instead of using needles and threads to join fabric layers, the invention uses adhesive layers that bond the palm, fingers, and wrist portions together, substituting a chemical bonding mechanism for the mechanical sewing process to eliminate seams.
2Ease of operation
If adhesive bonding is used to eliminate seams, then wearing comfort and flexibility are improved, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The adhesive layers are pre-applied to the fabric portions before assembly. The palm portion, finger portions, and wrist portion are prepared with adhesive layers in advance, allowing for streamlined assembly processes and reducing the complexity of the actual bonding operation during manufacturing.

AI summary
A seamless glove (1) includes a base fabric (10), a thumb fabric (11), a finger fabric (12) and a wrist fabric (13). The base fabric has a palm section (101), a thumb section (102) and a finger section (103). The finger fabrics are respectively configured to be corresponsive to the finger sections and extended to a part of the palm section, and a first fold section (104) between the thumb section and the adjacent finger section and a second fold section (105) between two adjacent finger sections press towards the palm section to cover and adhere the finger fabrics, so an external surface formed by adhering the base fabric, the thumb fabric, and the finger fabric is defined as a lining of a semi-finished glove. The wrist fabric is in a strip form and adhered around the semi-finished glove. Therefore, an excellent skin feel for the open-finger glove product is provided.
