Abstract

The sand toy in the form of a bendable glove with fingertip protection, protection of the palms of the hands and protection of the back of the hand is characterized in that the fingertips are protected by hard material such as PVC or metal.

Description

Sand toys consist of molds, shovels, small rakes or buckets.

All of these items can be used in the sand to dig small holes, build castles or similar. However, the childish ambition wants to work on large areas or achieve great success in the shortest possible time. The little sand toys can't do it justice. Rather, the hands are used directly for digging. The sand is therefore stuck under the fingernails, which is uncomfortable and painful. Rubbing and abrasions occur on the palms and outer surfaces of the hands. Since children tend to be impatient and either underestimate their own strength or rather want to try it out, the handles of shovels often bend or twist, which also poses a risk. This must be prevented. Commercially available sand toys are not tailored to every age and are therefore sometimes unwieldy.

The invention specified in protection claims 1 to 6 is based on the problem of creating a sand toy which is intended to protect the hands and wrists when digging. As well as increasing the effectiveness of the sand toy.

This problem is solved with the features listed in claim 1 to 6 protection.

The invention ensures that the fingertips, fingernails or fingertips are protected by a reinforcement or protective cap (1). The closed glove (1 to 5) has the advantage that the sand can be worked effectively. The power is transmitted directly through the hard protective cap (1) to the surface to be worked on. There is no rubbing or abrasion as the entire hand is protected (1-5). Furthermore, pressure points are avoided by handles. There is no risk of injury. The different sizes of the glove allow for easy handling in every age group. The flexibility and effectiveness of the sand toy is achieved by the bendable areas (3), the hard outer material (2) of the palm and the movable thumb (6).
