Abstract

Abstract The protective glove according to the invention comprises an outer layer and an inner lining layer for each of the finger elements (1), the central hand part and the wrist part (2), which are each designed as a whole and are connected at the break lines of adjacent regions of the abutting edges (3) by means of a seam. A
fold (5), which, on the side of the thumb, runs inwards from the glove edge, is placed in the outer layer of the central hand part and of the wrist part.

Description

~J ~127~
- Protective Glove The invention relates to a protective means, in particular a protective glove.
A protective glove has previously been di~closed which i~ made from a r0inforced outer layer and an inner lining layer, the layers being connected by glue (SU
A.136966). Both layers are de~igned as a whole with wrist part, central hand part and fingers. A design of this type en~ures the protective ability of t:he product in the following ~anner: the glove offers sufficient protection again~t knife cuts and when working with tools, producta , and materials which have a sharp cutting edge while, at i the same time, retaining the necessary flexibility.
A disadvantage of this glove is that when working rigid folds form between the fingers which damage the ~` fingers or constitute a risk of injury. In addition, when a glove part is d~maged the complete replacement of the ent.ire glove is necessary. The shape of the glove i~ al~o disadvantageou~, with it~ uni~orm width without regard for the ~arrowing of the hand in the wr~st reglon.
The width of the glove can only be changed by a corre~ponding reduction or increase in the nu~ber of 1OOPR in the width of the hand. In thia case, projecting thread tips form which prick and irritate the surface of the hand. Due to the low elasticity of the glove design, the glove does not fit closely enough, does ~ot ~it firmly and is uncomfortable when working. The high rigidity of the glove prevents it being po~sible for elastic elements, which ~ake gathering of the glove poRsible, to be used in the wri~t region. A weak element does not secure a gathering of the glove while a strong element exerts a ~trong pre~sure on the hand, and this pre6sure i8 localized and manifested in the folds which ~orm. In addition, due to the adhesive connection between the outer layer and lining layer, the air permeability of the glove i~ reduced a~ ia, accordingly, the comfortablene~s of the gloves in use.
The invention i~ ba~ed on the object of de~eloping protective gloves in a de~ign which increase~
the durability without reducing the protective ability .. ..

and, at the same time, en~ures the pos~ibility of repair.
The object set i8 achieved by the ~eatures of claim 1.
In this case, the finger elements (little finger, ring finger, middle finger and index finger) are connected along the break line~ of adjacent edges of the outer layer and lining layer by means of a seam to form ~ a finger element unit. A connection of this type prevents `i folds from forming between the fingers. It i8 neCeB8ary for the finger elemients and the thu~ element to be connected along the abutting edge~ to the central hand part and wrist part by mean3 of a seam and for the palm and the back of the hand to be connected at the adjacent edges, between the thumb element and tha finger elements, by means of a aeam. A connection of thi~ type prevents the mutual displacement of the outer layer and lining layer and the formation o additional olds. The abutting edge~, wh~ch are formed by the line o~ outer layer and lining layer, can be rein~orced or el~e unrelnforced.
In order to obtain an adaptation in the ~ense of ~ the glove fitting closely onto the hand, at lea~t one -~ fold, which, on the ~ide of the thumb, run~ inwards from `' the glove edge, i8 placed in the outer layer of the `~ central hand part and wrist part.
`~ 25 In an exemplary embodiment below, explained with reference to the drawing, a protective glove of this type ensur2~ a high durability, comfortablene~R in use and the pos~ibility of repair.
~i Fig. 1 shows, in diagrammatic formi, a protective glove.
Fig. 2 ihow~, likewi6e in diagra~matic form, a finger element unit.
~l The glove is compo~ed of a reinforced outer layer ~, and of a lining layer. Each finger element 1, Fig. 1, and the central hand part and wrist part 2, Fig. 1, is designed as a whole and i~ pre~erably reinforced over half itR length, the Recond, unreinforced half length ' having a lining layer. The abutting edge~ 3, Fig. 1, can - have either an unreinforced or else a reinforced layer in ~ . . . - - .

the break regions. In this connection, the finger elements 1, Fig. 1, 2 (little finger, ring finger, middle finger and index finger) are connected along the break line~ of adjacent edges of the outer layer and lining layer by means of a seam to form a finger element unit 4, Fig. 2. The finger element unit 4 and the thumb element 1 are connected along the abutting edges 3 to the central hand part and wrist part by means of a 13eam and the palm and the back of the hand are connected at the adjacent edges, between the thumb element and the finger element unit, by means of a Ream.
In the reinforced outer layer of the central hand and wrist part at least one fold 5 iB placed on the side of the thumb, running inwards from the glove edge. To improve the protective properties, the glove can have at least one additional, reinforced layer which lies between the outer layer and lining layer.
For the as~es~ment of the propertie~ o the protective glove according to the invention, complex interrelationships have to be considered which include J the dynamic effect when making contact with cutting tools or cutting Qurface~ and their durability with regard to operation. ~-; The tests which ha~e been carried out have shown the following: when a sharp cutting edge act~ on a section of the reinforced fibers o~ the glove, the lining layer i~ pressed in by the outer layer and, by this ~, means, the action on the former i~ reduced. At the ~ame time, the cutting edge is displaced and acts in adjacent sections on a multiplicity of reinforced fibers. A
, ~ redi~tribution of the load is produced without reaching the critical boundary of the loading capacity. The unreinforced fibers ~ink onto the reinforced fibers and are thus protected againRt inciRion~.
The operational test~ have shown that the mutual fixing of the outer layer and lining layer, at the breaks, to the central hand part and wri~t part and to each finger element eli~inates the formation of folds in the material in the finger element tip~.
