Description

La présente invention concerne un équipement de protection individuelle tricoté jersey vanisé, et notamment des gants en vue de la manipulation de produits finis ou en cours de fabrication.The present invention relates to personal protective equipment knitted in vanized jersey, and in particular gloves for handling finished products or during manufacture.

A l'heure actuelle, les gants tricotés jersey répondent à deux structures principales différentes.Currently, knitted jersey gloves have two main structures.

Le premier type de gant est tricoté jersey simple à base d'une fibre haute technicité telle que l'aramide, le polyéthylène, le polyester, le polyamide et autres.The first type of glove is knitted single jersey based on a high-tech fiber such as aramid, polyethylene, polyester, polyamide and others.

Le second type de gant est tricoté jersey, vanisé avec une fibre haute technicité sur la partie extérieure en contact avec l'objet à manipuler et une fibre non technique sur la partie intérieure en contact avec l'épiderme. La fibre haute technicité utilisée dans cette fabrication est du même type que celle mentionnée ci-dessus. La fibre non technique choisie habituellement est une fibre polyamide, polyester ou polyéthylène standards, une fibre acrylique, une fibre animale ou végétale. L'utilisation de la fibre non technique permet de procurer un certain confort de la main de l'utilisateur lorsqu'il manipule les objets.The second type of glove is knitted jersey, vanized with a high-tech fiber on the outer part in contact with the object to be handled and a non-technical fiber on the inner part in contact with the epidermis. The high-tech fiber used in this manufacturing is of the same type as that mentioned above. The non-technical fiber usually chosen is a standard polyamide, polyester or polyethylene fiber, an acrylic fiber, an animal or vegetable fiber. The use of non-technical fiber makes it possible to provide a certain comfort in the hand of the user when handling the objects.

En dehors du fait que ces gants présentent différentes propriétés (résistance mécanique, résistance à la chaleur, isolation électrique, résistance aux solvants usuels, etc...) qui dépendent des fibres haute technicité utilisées et de l'emploi envisagé, leur inconvénient principal est qu'ils ne garantissent pas un niveau suffisant de sécurité .Apart from the fact that these gloves have different properties (mechanical resistance, heat resistance, electrical insulation, resistance to common solvents, etc.) which depend on the high-tech fibers used and the intended use, their main disadvantage is that they do not guarantee a sufficient level of security.

En effet, le fait que le gant soit à base de fibres relativement épaisses, peut entraîner l'accrochage de celles-ci à une pièce et donc un risque d'entraînement de la main de l'utilisateur dans la machine.Indeed, the fact that the glove is based on relatively thick fibers, can cause the attachment of these one-piece and therefore a risk of entrainment of the user's hand in the machine.

La présente invention a donc essentiellement pour but de remédier a cet inconvénient des gants tricotés jersey de type connu.The present invention therefore essentially aims to remedy this drawback of knitted jersey gloves of known type.

A cet effet, la présente invention a pour objet un équipement de protection individuelle tricoté jersey vanisé, avec une microfibre sur la partie extérieure et une fibre haute technicité sur la partie intérieure. L'invention concerne notamment un gant, en vue de la manipulation de produits finis ou en cours de fabrication.To this end, the subject of the present invention is personal protective equipment knitted in jersey vanized, with a microfiber on the outside and a high-tech fiber on the inside. The invention relates in particular to a glove, for handling finished products or during manufacture.

Avantageusement, la microfibre en contact direct avec la pièce à manipuler est une fibre acrylique, une fibre de polyester ou de polyamide, qui se caractérise par une finesse inférieure ou égale à 1 µm et par sa faiblesse mécanique.Advantageously, the microfiber in direct contact with the part to be handled is an acrylic fiber, a polyester or polyamide fiber, which is characterized by a fineness less than or equal to 1 μm and by its mechanical weakness.

De par la constitution de la microfibre, la partie extérieure du gant a une texture semblable à celle du velours, ce qui permet, en cas d'accrochage de la microfibre avec la pièce (ou avec une ébarbure), un dégagement immédiat et sans effort, la pièce (ou l'ébarbure) venant simplement casser des boucles à la surface extérieure du gant, les boucles intérieures correspondantes restant intactes, protégées à l'intérieur de la couche de fibres haute technicité sous-jacente.Due to the constitution of the microfiber, the outer part of the glove has a texture similar to that of velvet, which allows, in the event of the microfiber hanging on the workpiece (or with a burr), immediate and effortless release , the part (or the burr) simply breaking loops on the outer surface of the glove, the corresponding inner loops remaining intact, protected inside the layer of underlying high-tech fibers.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la fibre haute technicité en contact avec l'épiderme est une fibre de polyamide aliphatique ou aromatique, polyamide-imide, polyester ou polyéthylène techniques. Des exemples spécifiques sont des fibres de polyamide aliphatique telles que des fibres de polyamide-6, polyamide-6,6, polyamide-6,10, ou polyamide-11, des fibres de polyamide aromatique telles que des fibres de polyisophtalamide (commercialisé par Du Pont de Nemours sous la marque enregistrée "NOMEX") ou des fibres de polytéréphtalamide (commercialisé par Du Pont de Nemours sous la marque enregistrée "KEVLAR"), des fibres de polyamide-imide telles que des fibres commercialisées par Du Pont de Nemours sous la marque enregistrée "KERMEL", des fibres de polyéthylène telles que des fibres de polyéthylène haute ténacité (commercialisé par DSM ou Allied Corporation, respectivement sous les marques enregistrées "DYNEEMA" et "SPECTRA". L'avantage connu de telles fibres est qu'elles présentent toutes une résistance mécanique élevée. En outre, l'emploi des fibres polyéthylène haute ténacité est particulièrement intéressant car celles-ci protègent la main de la transpiration, ce qui évite toute surchauffe lors de la manipulation des objets. Il en résulte un certain confort pour l'utilisateur.According to another characteristic of the invention, the high-tech fiber in contact with the epidermis is an aliphatic or aromatic polyamide, polyamide-imide, polyester or polyethylene technical fiber. Specific examples are aliphatic polyamide fibers such as polyamide-6, polyamide-6,6, polyamide-6,10, or polyamide-11 fibers, aromatic polyamide fibers such as polyisophthalamide fibers (marketed by Du Nemours Bridge under the registered trademark "NOMEX") or polyterephthalamide fibers (marketed by Du Pont de Nemours under the registered trademark "KEVLAR"), polyamide-imide fibers such as fibers marketed by Du Pont de Nemours under the registered trademark " KERMEL ", polyethylene fibers such as high tenacity polyethylene fibers (marketed by DSM or Allied Corporation, respectively under the registered trademarks" DYNEEMA "and" SPECTRA ". The known advantage of such fibers is that they all have a high mechanical resistance. In addition, the use of high tenacity polyethylene fibers is particularly advantageous because they protect the hand from perspiration, which prevents overheating when handling objects. This results in a certain comfort for the user.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique de l'invention, on soumet le gant à un traitement d'hydrofugation. De cette manière, les liquides auront tendance à glisser sur le gant et les salissures apparaîtront moins vite.According to yet another characteristic of the invention, the glove is subjected to a water-repellent treatment. In this way, liquids will tend to slip on the glove and dirt will appear less quickly.

Ce type d'équipement de protection individuelle s'avère particulièrement intéressant dans l'industrie automobile.This type of personal protective equipment is particularly interesting in the automotive industry.
