Definitions

  • the present invention belongs to the field of gloves and protective clothing.
  • it is a new kind of glove combined with a tip allowing to remove and put back the glove.
  • the preferred use described herein relates to a scuba diving glove used during scuba diving activities.
  • Gloves reduce the loss of body heat from the hands in cold water; gloves also prevent skin irritation and other minor injuries.
  • Such gloves are normally called diving suit gloves, because they are made of the same material as diving suits and are, most of the time, worn with them.
  • wetsuit gloves protect the hands and prevent cooling, but while doing this they reduce the diver's dexterity.
  • the material used to make the glove wall is thick, so as to be able to insulate: the flexibility and the sensations of touch are therefore necessarily reduced.
  • some gloves are made more like mittens than gloves, since they have fewer fingers than the user has.
  • the diving suit gloves are comfortable to wear and are equipped with a very long wrist.
  • the long wrist and the comfort character are intended to delay the circulation of cold water inside the glove, to prevent cooling.
  • Comfortable wearing and a long wrist also make it difficult to remove gloves when wet and put them back on for new dives.
  • the skin of the wet hand does not slide easily over the wet inner surface of the glove.
  • the elastic material of the glove which makes it comfortable, keeps the material of the glove in contact with the skin, thus reinforcing the friction effect.
  • the water which has seeped into the glove during the diving period, tends to cause suction cup effects and air pockets between the hand and the "comfortable" glove.
  • the suction cup effects make it difficult to remove the glove when wet after diving. Air pockets tend to make it difficult to put the glove back on for a new dive when it is still wet from the previous dive.
  • the present invention in its preferred embodiment, relates to a diving suit glove which is easy to remove and put back on when wet.
  • Our new glove has a mouthpiece through which the user can blow to inflate the glove when removing or replacing it.
  • the addition of the tip provides new and important advantages over conventional wetsuit gloves. When inflated, the glove wall is distended: it has less contact with the user's skin and therefore less friction against it. Even better, the distended glove almost doesn't form any suction cup or air pocket effects.
  • Glove for activities in contact with a liquid, including the wall of the glove is mainly composed of an elastic material characterized in that it comprises a nozzle provided with an air passage for introducing air from the mouth of the user, this air being intended to bring under pressure inside the glove, pressurization having the purpose of tightening the wall of the glove and moving it away from the skin of the hand of the user, thus facilitating the fact of removing and putting back the glove.
  • the tip includes an air passage for blowing air into a glove, the wall of the glove being mainly made of an elastic material, insufflated it to stretch the wall of the glove and away from the skin of the hand of the user thus facilitating the fact of removing and putting back the glove.
  • the glove made mainly of an elastic material has an end piece comprising an air passage to inflate the space between the wall of the glove and the skin of the user, during the removal and replacement of the glove
  • the glove is shown worn comfortably by the hand 1 of the user, as is done during normal use.
  • the tip 4 is placed in a hole made expressly in the wall 2 of the glove, at the back of the hand.
  • the mouthpiece itself is made of flexible material, so that the mouthpiece does not hit obstacles.
  • the material of the tip must also be elastic, in a manner roughly similar to the elasticity of the wall 2 of the glove.
  • the tips which are made of hard material, can interfere with the joints. Hard tips could also lead to premature tearing of the glove wall due to repeated stretching during normal use.
  • the nozzle 4 contains an air passage 5. Under normal conditions of use of the glove, the interior end of the air passage 5 is closed by contact with the skin of the user. This contact effectively closes the passage of air at its internal end and eliminates any possibility of passage of water and cooling accordingly.
  • the ends for the gloves used in extremely cold waters can also be fitted with plugs, sphincters, covers or other valves which make it possible to close the air passage 5 against any arrival of water and any cooling.
  • these closures are not absolutely necessary in the spirit of the present invention. They would also be necessary in a glove used to protect the user against dangerous or infectious substances or of this nature.
  • the wrist 3 is long, so that it can extend beyond the end of the sleeve of the diving suit (which is not shown).
  • the sleeve has been omitted from the drawing, since diving suit gloves are often worn with sleeveless diving suits, for example in tropical waters.
  • the main advantage of the present invention does not depend on the fact that the user also wears a sleeve suit.
  • the length of the wrist 3 and the comfort of the glove, particularly with regard to the fingers of the glove 6, make conventional gloves (that is to say gloves without toe caps) difficult to remove and put back on.
  • wetsuit gloves are particularly difficult to remove and put back on when wet.
  • the additional pressure exerted by the breath relaxes the wall of the glove 2, allowing the space 7 to extend in the digital compartments 6 and along the inside of the wrist 3.
  • the air does not escape freely through the opening of the wrist because the wrist 3, which is long and wet, tends to delay the escape of air.
  • the escaping air is represented by the arrow 16 which leads from the space 7 of the glove towards the atmosphere.
  • the space 7 forces the wall 2 of the glove to move away from the hand 1 and allows the hand to move freely inside the glove, which allows the glove to be removed and put back easily.
  • FIG. 3 shows longitudinal and axial views of the tip of the preferred embodiment.
  • This tip is a solid of revolution. It is composed of a flange 9, a rod 10 and a mouth holder 11.
  • An interior air passage 5 follows the entire length of the nozzle.
  • the rim is tapered for two reasons: for the comfort of the user and to ensure that the elasticity of the endpiece matches the elasticity of the glove wall, so as to prevent a concentration of the force on the edges of the tip.
  • Figure 4 shows, in cross section, the tip mounted on a material section of the glove wall.
  • the wall of the glove 2 is pierced with a hole of sufficient diameter to admit the rod 10 of the nozzle, and not too tight, to allow the passage of the mouth holder 11 during assembly.
  • the rim 9 is fixed with adhesive (not shown) to the internal surface 13 of the wall 2 of the glove.
  • Another adhesive fastening part is provided for the part of the rod 10 which is in the hole in the wall 2 of the glove.
  • the rod 10 must be long enough to allow easy access by mouth to the mouth holder 11 when the glove is on the user's hand. On a glove intended for protection in a dangerous or infectious environment, an additional length of rod, as well as a removable cover, would be necessary to prevent the mouthpiece from being contaminated by the very substances that the glove must prevent.
  • the method for attaching the end piece in the preferred embodiment includes an adhesive, other known methods of attachment such as sewing or vulcanizing could be substituted for it without departing from the spirit of the invention.
  • the tip could even be molded as an integral part of the wall of the glove without departing from the spirit of the invention.
  • FIG. 5 shows where the end pieces 4 are mounted on the left glove 17 and on the right glove 15 in the preferred embodiment. The dimensions are not described, because specific dimensions are not essential for understanding the invention or for carrying it out.
  • the tip is located approximately between the joint of the index finger and that of the middle finger.
  • the dimensions have been deliberately omitted from the figures because the specific dimensions are not essential for understanding the invention.
  • the gloves are made in different sizes and the tips vary according to the gloves for which they are intended.
  • the models of the details of the gloves and the methods of their assembly will influence the choice of where the tip will be located on the glove.
  • the inventors are aware of the fact that the form and the place indicated here are not the only possible form and place for a nozzle which would represent the concept of the invention. After seeing these designs, any designer skilled in the art of making gloves can easily come up with a workable design.
  • the user grasps the mouthpiece in his lips and blows air into the tip, while lifting the tip away from the skin of the hand by a small pull of the lips.
  • the air is blown into the glove as in Figure 2.
  • the user grasps, with his other hand, the glove which has been inflated, by the end fingers 6, and withdraws the hand which was gloved, freely, out of the glove.
  • the main purpose of this invention is to make it easier to remove and replace gloves.
  • the experience gained with the preferred use of the diving suit version of the glove to be removed while blowing has revealed other unforeseen advantages which we will describe below.
  • wetsuit glove When the wetsuit glove is used in conjunction with a wetsuit, much of the air escaping from the wrist enters the wetsuit sleeve, inflating the sleeve as much as the glove. The user can position his suit on his arm more comfortably, thanks to this effect, before entering the water.
