Abstract

The insulating layer (20) extends beneath the water-tight semi-permeable membrane (18) in the layered construction.

Description

The invention relates to a refractory glove, as described in the preamble of claim 1, as well as gloves or a possible use of a glove, which are respectively described in the preambles of claims 15, 25, 34 and 40 respectively.

The prior art discloses refractory and heat-resistant gloves constructed from a plurality of layers of material, in which at least one of these layers of material is formed by a liquid-impermeable functional layer, e.g. by a waterproof membrane, and in which at least one further of the material layers is formed by a fire-resistant and heat-resistant insulating layer. With such a glove, a user's hand can be protected to some extent from burns due to flame contact or excessive temperature.

In the known embodiments of refractory gloves, the material layers are constructed in such a way that the heat-resistant insulating layer extends in the direction of a glove outer side above the watertight functional layer underneath. By way of example, mention should be made of the protective glove disclosed in EP 0 724 848 B1, in which the glove outer layer of low thermal conductivity essential for the heat resistance of the glove and an intermediate layer of a nonwoven are arranged above a breathable, watertight membrane.

With such trained gloves has the disadvantage that they are only limited heat and flame resistance and they can not withstand prolonged heat and flame irradiation, for example in a fire extinguishing, and there is a significant risk of burns for the hand of a user. This is mainly due to the fact that the external insulating material or existing intermediate layers absorb and store an externally acting liquid, so that this liquid stored in the glove is optionally heated by the ambient heat above the boiling point, whereby resulting water vapor, the liquid-tight functional layer and the lining of the Glove can penetrate the hand of a user to the water vapor or the ambient heat is exposed directly and a user's hand can not withstand scalds or burns.

Furthermore, gloves are known from the prior art, which have reinforcing elements, in particular in the region of an upper hand on the outer cover layer, in order to increase the dimensional stability of the glove and better protect the glove interior against external influences.

A disadvantage of the known from the prior art gloves with reinforcing elements that these elements are formed as separate parts to the material blanks of the outer cover layer of the glove and the blanks in the region of the reinforcing elements must be additionally pieced and sutured and / or the reinforcing elements over special fasteners or procedures on the upper hand must be attached or sewn. With the use of separate reinforcing elements, therefore, there are higher material costs and the manufacturing process becomes more complicated, so that the overall manufacturing costs of the glove are substantially increased. Furthermore, in the separate material for cutting reinforcing elements has the disadvantage that there are weak points in terms of the resistance of the glove in the area of the reinforcing element with the blanks connecting and at higher stresses there is a risk that loosen the seams and insufficiently attached to the material blanks the reinforcing element is.

Furthermore, gloves are known from the prior art, which have a shaft extending over the wrist area in the direction of the elbow area of a user. Above all, sanitary or medical gloves are made of elastic, i. stretchable and compliant, plastic material with a tubular and cylindrical shaft known.

In the already mentioned EP 0 724 848 B1, a glove is shown with a long, expanding cuff, which consists of an inelastic or non-stretchable material. In such gloves, there is the disadvantage that the running over the forearm of a user shaft only loosely or loosely applied to the forearm and the shaft between the first strap and a front end of the glove is not further fixed to the forearm. Thus, there is the problem that the glove shaft bad sitting on the user's forearm, can easily slip and the comfort and functionality of the Glove is limited. Above all, there is the danger that foreign material can undesirably penetrate into the interior of the glove and the protection of the hand or the forearm of a user is not or only insufficiently ensured.

The object of the invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages and deficiencies in known from the prior art gloves and to provide a glove that ensures a high level of comfort and improved protection of the hands or arms of a user. A subtask of the invention is to provide a glove which has increased resistance to heat and flame without significantly limiting the wearing comfort for a user. Furthermore, it is a sub-task of the invention to design a glove such that it ensures increased mechanical and thermal resistance, with the effort for producing such a glove to be reduced. A further object of the invention is to provide a glove that is more flexible and more precisely adapted to the wrapped body parts of a user to improve the wearing comfort and protection of the forearm or the hand of a user in a shaft area.

The object of the invention is achieved independently by the reproduced in the characterizing part of claim 1 features. Because the heat- or flame-resistant insulating layer with low thermal conductivity is arranged below the liquid-tight functional layer and the insulating layer extends below the functional layer, the insulating layer is protected from contact with a liquid acting from the outside on the glove and suction of the insulating layer Liquid prevents. This is particularly advantageous when using the glove according to the invention in the field of fire fighting, since the hand of a user is constantly in contact with extinguishing water, according to the invention, the water can not penetrate to the insulating layer. Thus, a storage of water in the insulating layer is prevented, whereby the glove comfortable and without deterioration of its tactile properties on a user hand remains portable. Furthermore, the generation of water vapor from the sucked water can thus be prevented in optionally increasing, external heat, whereby a particular explosive penetration of the inner material layers of the glove by steam can not take place and the hand of a user is better protected from external heat and flame , As proved in test series Thus, the glove can thus withstand higher thermal effects over a longer period of time, whereby the glove according to the invention can withstand the requirements as defined in the European standard EN 659: 2003. It is advantageous in such a glove that a relatively thin and compact layer structure is sufficient by the special arrangement of the material layers to fulfill a sufficient protective function, whereby a tactile and comfortable wearable protective glove is created.

In claim 2, an advantageous embodiment of the layer structure of the glove is specified, with the addition of the required waterproofness additionally increased flame or heat resistance is given by the interior, in particular textile lining material for a user a familiar and proven wear of a glove remains. Thus, other requirements that may be imposed on gloves, particularly protective gloves for firefighters, in addition to heat resistance, e.g. good wearing comfort, protection against mechanical and chemical influences, etc., are met.

A variant according to claim 3 is advantageous since synthetic fibers, in particular aramid fibers, represent a proven insulating material which can be processed into deformable or flexible layers and therefore also for items of clothing such as gloves which are anatomically adapted and which do not restrict the ability of movement of a user's hand. is usable. In the claims 4 and 5 further expedient insulation materials are given.

Claims 3 to 12 each describe possible embodiments of the glove according to the invention, which in each case advantageously enable particularly effective protection of a user's hand against heat or fire, individually or in combination with one another, and can be adapted to different user requirements in terms of material composition and wearing comfort are.

By described in claim 13 embodiment of the glove, at least the area of a user's hand closest to the source of fire in a fire extinguishing certificate by a user heat and flame retardant. The surrounding zones or areas of the Gloves can have their own layer structure, which differs from the layer structure in the heat-resistant zone, so that different zones or areas of the glove to various requirements, in terms of tightness, heat or flame resistance, tactility, etc., are customizable.

The reproduced in claim 14 embodiment is advantageous because the layer structure of the glove can be kept relatively thin by an insulating layer with a thickness in the specified ranges and the glove, despite sufficient heat and flame resistance, comfortable for a user and not essential freedom of movement is restrictively portable.

Another, independent solution according to the invention is shown in the characterizing part of claim 15. The resulting advantage lies in the fact that the production cost and the manufacturing cost of such a glove can be reduced by using a one-piece cut, reinforced material blank with the at least one reinforced portion and the special stitching of this one-piece material blank. Additional reinforcement or protector elements on the outside of the glove can thus be dispensed with and a cost-effective and functional glove can be created. A further advantage is that, to form the reinforced area, no different material blanks need to be joined together, or separate reinforcing elements need not be connected to the blanks, thereby creating weak spots at connection areas, such as e.g. Sewing, be avoided. The glove is therefore more resistant to external stresses and more wear-resistant.

A designed according to the features of claim 16 glove is advantageous because the back of the hand, especially a knuckle area and finger joint area, a user's hand is always exposed to external influences and optionally occurs with foreign bodies directly into contact, for example, wegschlag to disturbing obstacles, so this area Therefore, it is particularly vulnerable, which is made possible by the trained according to claim 16 upper hand part in an advantageous manner.

The features reproduced in claim 17, the advantage is achieved that with a very simple and without additional parts emanating construction of a material blank, alone by its special cut and its special attachment, the reinforced area can be created. For this purpose, only a cut to larger dimensions material blank is necessary, which is compressed to form the surveys and placed in folds or waves and is attached to the other material blanks or material layers, as described in an advantageous manner by the features of claims 18 and 19 ,

In claim 20, a particularly advantageous embodiment of the elevations or depressions is described which allow in the transverse direction to the insertion or Ausschubrichtung for a user's hand, the resistance increasing and protective function of the glove and the movement, in particular a bending movement of the fingers, one hand not restrict the user. The necessary connecting elements, in particular the seams, for fixing the reinforcing profiling extend in a common direction, whereby the reinforced area can be produced economically by means of repetitive work processes for mounting the connecting elements.

The embodiment according to claim 21 is advantageous because the weight of the glove is not increased by the hollow interior spaces despite the formed, reinforced area and a protective and reinforcing function is given by the elevations or depressions. Furthermore, the air in the hollow interior spaces advantageously acts as a thermal insulator to protect a user's hand from the effects of heat.

The reproduced in claim 22 to 24 features are advantageous embodiments of the glove, as over a corresponding filler, the properties of the reinforced area for different applications are adaptable and the gain function or protective function of the reinforced area can be further improved.

In the characterizing part of claim 25, a further, independent solution of the object according to the invention is described. The advantage resulting from the characterizing features of claim 25 can be seen in the fact that can be adjusted steplessly and flexibly to the arm of a user or an arm worn garment by the further adjustment device for lashing the shaft as needed this can be done on one or more sections or positions of a shaft length. Thus, the glove can be tightly worn on the arm of a garment, and the interior is protected against intrusion of foreign matter, and the adjustment range is greater by the manually adjustable adjuster and the adjustment is more comfortable and safer depending on the protection requirements can be used as eg in known elastics at slip openings. Due to the fact that the shank widens conically over its longitudinal extension in the direction of the front end region and thus the glove has a very large, maximum opening width in the shank region, the glove can be used for a wide range of applications and a large number of different users, the shank also having a Sleeves can be pulled and run on this tight fitting. Thus, an improved connection of the glove to an adjacent sleeve clothing is created, which is necessary in particular for use clothing such as eg fire brigade protective clothing in order to prevent the penetration of hazardous materials, for example burning parts (flying sparks).

A variant according to claim 26 is advantageous, since the glove in the forearm region of a user can be selectively adjusted by a shaft formed in this way in cooperation with the further adjustment device, and large parts of the user's forearm are reliably protected by the shaft.

The reproduced in claim 27 embodiment is particularly useful because inexpensive and resistant adjusting devices are provided by means of rope or band-shaped straps.

By the embodiments described in claim 28 and 29, the opening width of the shaft can be determined in an advantageous manner in the lying below the straps areas with simple means and subsequently releasably fixed or maintained.

By means of fastening positions for the further belt described in claims 30 and 31, the glove is even more variable over the longitudinal course of the shaft and can be adapted individually to different users.

Embodiment variants of a glove according to at least one of claims 32 and 33 are advantageous because the connection means for releasing the straps are quickly and easily accessible and the straps with only one movement in the same direction of movement are jointly releasable, whereby if necessary, the glove are pulled out very quickly can, which is a necessity, for example, in firefighter deployment gloves.

The object of the invention is further achieved independently by the characterizing features of claim 34. The resulting advantage is that the glove in the area of the forearm is very precisely adapted to the anatomy of a user and the glove rests very compactly on the body of a user and envelops it without the emergence of larger accumulations of material by wrinkling. Thus, a sleeve of a garment can be easily pulled over an outside of the glove and comfortably worn above the glove. This is particularly advantageous in use clothing, for example, in firefighter deployment clothing, as the glove and the sleeve can overlap and a gap-free transition is given with a good fit between the glove and the garment, so that a user is reliably protected from external influences.

An embodiment of the glove according to the features of claim 35 is advantageous because on the adjustment devices a position of use of the glove can be determined, in which a reliable and space-saving fit of the glove is ensured on the user arm.

An alternative embodiment according to claim 36 is advantageous because the wedge or band blank widening of the shaft is made possible at least in the front end, so that the glove is easy and comfortable despite the tight and compact fit of the shaft in use position on a user arm by the extended shaft , At the maximum opening width of the shaft in the end region, a circumference at the outer surface of the shaft in this range of 20 cm to 40 cm is not exceeded. If necessary, the opening width of the shaft can be reduced to the extent possible in the position of use of the glove so that it fully lies directly or closely against a user arm, which results in a high wearing comfort of the glove and of the covering sleeve coverings is guaranteed. A suitable opening width in order to be able to attract the glove comfortably despite the low consumption of material is achieved by an embodiment of the wedge or band blank as described in claim 37.

The embodiment according to claim 38 is advantageous because an inelastic ribbon or wedge blank is very inexpensive and free of material fatigue, with a constant and unambiguous increase in the circumference of the shaft is given and the use position of the glove simply by turning the inelastic ribbon or Keilzuschnitts can be taken.

The reproduced in claim 39 embodiment has the advantage that the band or wedge cut can act as an adjustment by its elastic properties and own adjusting devices are not or only partially necessary.

The reproduced in claim 40, independent solution of the object of the invention describes a particularly advantageous application of the glove according to the invention, since for fire fighting or fire extinguishing inserts of the glove according to the invention, according to claims 1 to 39, with the advantages described above and below improved protection guaranteed for a user.

By way of introduction, it should be noted that in the differently described embodiments, the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals or the same component names, wherein the disclosures contained in the entire description can be mutatis mutandis to the same parts with the same reference numerals or component names. Also, the location information chosen in the description, such as top, bottom, side, etc. related to the immediately described and illustrated figure and are to be transferred to the new situation mutatis mutandis when a change in position. Furthermore, individual features or combinations of features from the different exemplary embodiments shown and described can also represent independent, inventive or inventive solutions.

1 to 3, a first embodiment of a glove 1 is shown, are realized on the several independent solutions of the object of the invention. FIGS. 4 and 5 each show further embodiments of the glove 1. Of course, one or more of the independent solutions of the object according to the invention can be implemented alone or in different combinations at a further embodiment of a glove 1 (not shown).

The glove 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and FIG. 5 is formed in Fünffingerform, with embodiments of the glove 1 in mitten or three-finger shape are possible. The glove 1 extends from a fingertip portion of the fingers 2 over the proximal finger joint bone at least to the area of a wrist of a user's hand. In one embodiment, the glove 1 may extend over a user's wrist along the forearm toward the elbow joint of a user.

According to an independent solution according to the invention, the glove 1 is made of a lining consisting of several material blanks 3 formed, which are connected by seams 4, in particular seams, together. At least one of the material blanks 3 is in this case formed by an upper hand part 5 extending in the region of an upper hand, in particular a back of the hand and finger tops, of a user. According to a possible embodiment, further material blanks 3 are formed by an inner hand part 6, a front thumb part 7, optionally two finger side parts or wedges 8 and one shaft part 9 for each finger. The aforementioned material blanks 4, formed by the blank parts 5 to 9, can in this case only form the essential main blanks, which in each case can in turn be formed by a plurality of connected or stitched blanks.

The glove 1 has a front end region 10 which lies opposite the fingers 2 and in which a slip-in opening 11 is formed, via which an interior space 12 for receiving a hand of a user is accessible. The shaft 15 of the glove 1 widens conically in the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3 over a length 14, wherein the opening width 13 in the region of the slip-in opening 11 is greatest. In the further exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 5, the opening width 13 remains substantially constant over the length 14 of the shaft 15. The shaft 15 extends substantially from a wrist area 16 of a user via the wrist along the forearm thereof in the direction of the elbow joint (not shown). For example, the shaft 15 covers a wrist, lower third, or lower half of a user's forearm, and the shaft 15 may also extend to or beyond an user's elbow.

As can be seen from FIG. 3, the glove 1 can be constructed by a layer construction of a plurality of superimposed material layers 17. At least one of the material layers 17 is in this case formed by a waterproof functional layer 18, which is arranged below an outer cover layer 19. The waterproof functional layer 18 is preferably formed by a semi-permeable membrane which is liquid-impermeable and permeable to water vapor to allow gas exchange between the outside environment and the interior 12 of the glove and to provide a breathable glove 1. *** " Of course, the functional layer 18 may also be formed by different types of membranes or layers, for example, formed completely liquid and gas-tight are. The functional layer 18 may be substantially unbonded in the layer structure of the glove 1 or may be connected to a further material layer 17, in particular the insulating layer 20 and / or the cover layer 19, for example clad on this or welded or glued thereto.

At least one further of the material layers 17 is formed in the illustrated embodiment by a heat-resistant and flame-retardant insulating layer 20 with low thermal conductivity or heat-insulating effect. The insulating layer 20 consists at least in part of an insulating material or of a mixture of different insulating materials, which are flame retardant, non-melting and highly heat-resistant or heat-resistant. The insulating layer 20 is the essential for the required heat resistance of the glove 1 material layer 17, which is formed to a high extent by an insulating material.

In general, to construct the glove 2, it should be noted that the arrangement of the material layers 17 and the material blanks 3 may vary in different zones of an inner or outer glove surface 21 and / or some material layers 17 or material blanks 3 may be present only in certain zones of the glove outer surface can. For example, the cover layer 19 consists of a plurality of material blanks 3, as shown in FIG. 1, in the form of the upper hand part 5, the inner hand part 6 and the sheep part 9. The lying below the cover layer 19 material layers 17 must have mutually no consistent propagation and they do not have be congruent with the material blanks 17 of the cover layer 19. It is even advantageous if, for example, the waterproof functional layer 18 extends as seamlessly as possible below the seams 4, via which the material blanks 3 of the cover layer 19 are connected to each other, so that the interior 12, without the need for further sealing means, reliably protected against liquid entry ,

A separate, inventive solution relates to a refractory glove 1, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. In this solution, consisting of a plurality of superimposed layers of material 17 layer structure is designed so that the interior 12 of the glove 1 is protected from liquid ingress, ie the layer structure is liquid or waterproof, and the interior 12 further from the outside to the glove 1 acting heat and possibly flames is protected. The body parts of a user covered by the glove 1 can thus be protected against undesired fluid contact and injuries caused by excessive thermal radiation, for example burns.

At least one of the material layers 17 is formed for this purpose by the waterproof functional layer 18, which is arranged in the interior of the layer structure. The waterproof functional layer 18 can be characterized by a completely sealing, i. both sides of material impermeable to media such as e.g. Inserts made of leather or plastic films. Preferably, the functional layer 18 is formed by a porous material and in the manner of a membrane or film which is semipermeable. From the outside acting on the glove 1 liquid can thus not penetrate into the glove interior, with a transpiration inside the glove on the water vapor or gas permeable pores of the functional layer 18 can escape to the outside.

According to one of the solutions according to the invention, it is now provided that the at least one heat-resistant insulating layer 20 with low thermal conductivity extends in the direction of the interior 12 below the waterproof functional layer 18. In this case, the insulating layer 20 is closer to the inner space 12 of the glove 1 than the functional layer 18. The insulating layer 20 and the functional layer 18 can be formed as independent individual layers or as a common composite layer or as a laminate, wherein the flame-retardant insulating material of the insulating layer 20 below sealing material of the functional layer 18 is arranged.

FIG. 4 shows a possible layer structure of the glove 1 in a sectional illustration. Above the functional layer 18, the outer cover layer 19 of the layer structure is arranged. Furthermore, an inner lining 21, in particular an inner lining layer, is provided in the layer structure and the insulating layer 20 is arranged between the inner lining 21 and the functional layer 18. The inner lining 21 may be formed in the manner of an inner glove or a material layer 17 as described above.

With such a layer structure, the heat resistance of the glove 1 can be substantially increased, especially with simultaneous contact with liquid, since the liquid to the fibrous or textile, in particular between two layers of material 17 lying insulation layer 20 and a possibly provided inner lining 21, each consisting of fibers, yarn, threads, etc., can not penetrate, which in the flüssigkeitsauf absorptive insulating layer 20 and the Inner lining 21 an externally acting liquid can not be stored. Thus, suction of the layer structure of the glove 1 with liquid, in particular water, is prevented by the liquid-repellent functional layer 18 arranged according to the invention.

The refractory glove 1 is thus particularly suitable for use by fire-fighting personnel, such as firefighters. Firefighters, suitable because firefighting extinguishing water is used, which acts on the glove 1, the firefighting personnel is exposed to very high ambient temperatures in the area of a fire or fire.

The heat-resistant insulating layer 20, together with the further material layers 17 of the glove 1, forms a highly heat-resistant layer structure which reliably withstands various types of heat exposure for the protection of a user. In particular, the glove 1 with this layer construction meets the requirements of the European standard EN 659: 2003 for fire-fighter protective gloves, so that the required safety regulations for protective gloves for emergency personnel can be met and the hands or arms of a user who is the fire closest to the source of fire are exposed to a high probability of burns.

For this purpose, the insulating layer 20 may comprise an insulating material of synthetic fibers, in particular aramid fibers or para-aramid fibers, for example Kevlar® or Twaron®. Furthermore, the insulating layer 20 may comprise an insulating material of viscose, melamine resin, carbon fibers, mineral fibers or natural fibers or a plastic insulating material, such as foam, silicone or the like. Include. Of course, the insulating layer 20 may be formed from mixtures of the above-mentioned insulating materials, and other known from the prior art insulating materials can be used with which the above-mentioned specifications for the heat resistance can be met.

The insulating layer 20 is formed for example by a plurality of layers of different structure. For example, the insulating layer 20 comprises a plurality of insulating lining layers and / or one or more fleece (s). For example, the damping material used for one of the layers of the insulating layer 20, in particular the aramid, has a basis weight in the range of 10 to 1200 g / m ² , in particular 200 to 400 g / m ² . For example, one of the layers of the insulating layer 20 comprises about 35% to 65% aramid and 35% to 65% melamine resin. Furthermore, there is the possibility that one or more of the layers of the insulating layer 20 are composed of 100% aramid or the like.

It should be noted that other material layers 17 of the layer structure of the glove 1, for example the cover layer 19 and / or the inner lining 21, may likewise be made heat-resistant and flame-retardant, and an insulating material, for example a flame-retardant coating or an insulating material, such as e.g. Aramid fibers, as described above. For example, the cover layer 19 and the inner lining 21 - which may correspond to an inner lining layer of the insulating layer 20 - each have an insulating material in a different composition, preferably with a lower proportion of insulating material than in the insulating layer 20, in addition to the heat resistance of the glove 1 to increase while maintaining a very fine tactility of the glove 1. The cover layer 19 is preferably thin-layered and formed only slightly or not liquid-storing and it does not form the top layer 19 for the heat resistance of the glove 1 relevant material layer 17, but it acts the cover layer 19 only supportive to the insulating layer 20 and der Innenfutter 21.

As already mentioned, the insulating layer 20 can be formed from a single layer in the layer structure of the glove 1, or the insulating layer 20 can be composed of a plurality of layers, optionally comprising the inner lining 21, wherein each of the layers comprises one of the insulating materials. The insulating layer 20 or individual layers of the insulating layer 20 and optionally of the inner lining 21 may be formed by a textile fabric, for example a knitted fabric, a scrim, a knitted fabric, a woven fabric, a nonwoven or the like. Furthermore, the insulating material of the insulating layer 20 may be applied as a coating, in particular fire protection coating of, for example, ceramic material, wherein the glove 1 in the coating area preferably remains flexible and deformable.

A thickness of the insulating layer 20 is in the range of 0.1 mm to 25 mm, in particular 1 mm to 6 mm, preferably 1 mm to 3 mm. In such, small thickness, in particular in the range of <10 mm, the insulating layer 20, the glove 1 in the heat-resistant zone 22 has very good tactile properties, so that the tactile and tactile sense of a user's hand remains largely intact.

For example, a heat-resistant zone 22 of the layer structure constructed as described above extends at least in the area of a back of a user's hand or the upper hand part 6 and in the wrist area 16. Further, the heat-resistant zone 22 may be in the area of a palm of a user's hand Inner hand part 6 or in one or more other portions of the outer surface 23 of the glove 1 extend. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the heat-resistant zone 22 extends over the entire outer surface 23 of the glove 1 in the enclosing a user's hand or a user's wrist areas, where appropriate, the heat-resistant zone 22 may be provided in the region of the shaft 15.

Another independent solution of the object according to the invention relates to a glove 1, which is preferably formed by a layer structure of a plurality of superposed material layers 17 and described above, and which consists of several, via seams 4 interconnected material blanks 3. At least one of the material blanks 3 has one or more reinforced area (s) 24, in which the glove 1 has a higher mechanical and thermal resistance, wherein in the areas 24 in particular the dimensional stability is increased and an improved protection against external influences such as impacts, Heat or cold is given to the surrounding areas on the outer surface 23 of the glove 1.

In the exemplary embodiment shown, a material blank 3 reinforced in this way is formed by an upper hand part 5 extending in the region of the back of a user's hand or on the upper sides of his fingers, wherein several of the reinforced areas 24 are provided on the upper hand part 5.

The upper hand part 5 extends approximately between the wrist area 16 and the tips of the fingers 2, in particular from a middle hand area 25 along the back of the hand on the finger tops to the tips of the fingers 2. The own thumb part 7, which also has one or more reinforced areas 24th may extend between the inner thumb joint and the thumb tip, in particular between an outer thumb joint and the thumb tip. In another embodiment, not shown, the upper hand part 5 or the thumb part 7 may in turn be divided into several individual parts which are connected to further material blanks 3 or lower material layers 17 via seams 4, or it may be the upper hand part 5 and the thumb part 7 be formed in one piece.

The reinforced areas 24 in the reinforced material blank 3 can increase the resistance of the glove, while not compromising the tactility of the glove 1, especially in the area of the inner hand part 6, and the inner space 12 of the glove 1 against external influences, such as e.g. Heat, shocks and shocks, foreign substances such as chemical substances, or the like., Is better protected.

According to the invention, the upper hand part 5 and / or the thumb part 7 are formed in the reinforced areas 24 by one or more elevations 26 and depressions 27, which form a profiling 28 reinforcing the glove 1.

The profiling 28 is provided on the outer surface 23 of the glove 1 on the upper hand part 5, wherein the upper hand part 5 is cut in one piece and the upper hand part 5 is connected to form the elevations 26 and recesses 27 with at least one further material blank 3. The profiling 28 is therefore formed directly by the upper hand part 5, wherein the upper hand part 5 is fixed such that between the joints, in particular seams 4, material accumulations are formed, which protrude over a height 29 on the surrounding areas of the outer surface. Between two adjacent elevations 26 each extending the recess 27th

The elevations 26 and depressions 27 on the upper hand part 5 are preferably formed by placing the upper hand part 5 in folds or waves prior to sewing, and then to further material blanks 3 and / or material layers 17 of the glove 1 is attached. The upper hand part 5 is cut to a length exceeding an extension length 30 of the reinforced zone 22, the length of the blank of the upper hand part 5 being reduced to the extension length 30 by forming to form the reinforced portion 24. The length of the blank of the upper hand part 5 is compressed or withdrawn during its attachment to the extension length 30 of the zone 22, so that the excess material straightens over the extension length 30 and forms wrinkles. About several seams 4 over the extension length 30 of the reinforced zone 22, the elevations 26 and recesses 27 can be structured accordingly and permanently fixed.

In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 3, the elevations are formed by beads 31 and the recesses and formed by grooves 32, the wavy shape in the cross section of FIG. 3 over the extension length 30 of the reinforced zone 22 to each other. For this purpose, a channel bottom 33 of the channel 32 is connected to an underlying material layer 17 via one of the seams 4, in particular via a sewing seam. The lying between the grooves 32 beads 31 in this case have a substantially U-shaped or V-shaped cross-sectional profile.

The outer surface 23 of the upper hand part 6 in the region of the reinforced zone 22 is thus formed grooved and it has the reinforced zone 22 in the embodiment, a substantially rectangular expansion. A longitudinal course of the grooves 33 or beads 31 extends substantially transversely to an insertion or removal direction 34 for a user's hand along an extension axis 35. In such a configuration of the profiling 28 there is the advantage that the vertical flexibility and flexibility of the Glove 1 is maintained, so that for a user 2, the bending movement of the hand or individual fingers is not or only slightly limited, while the beads 31 and grooves 32 perform a rib-like stiffening or reinforcing function and the dimensional stability of the glove 1 in the reinforced Zone 22 is increased. Furthermore, the profiling in the reinforced zone 22 provides improved heat and cold protection.

Furthermore, other embodiments of the profiling 28 in the reinforced zone 22 are possible in which the elevations 26 and depressions 27 are formed in the manner of nubs, which have a circular, elliptical or polygonal circumference and in one uniform or uneven distribution on the outer surface 23 in the region of the upper hand part 5 are arranged. Furthermore, beads 31 or grooves 32 of the profiling 28 can extend parallel to an insertion or removal direction 34 or be formed by intersecting beads 31 and grooves 32, the profiling 28 by a grid-like corrugation.

In the illustrated embodiment, the elevations 26 are hollow in a, limited by an inner surface 36 of the upper hand part 5 interior 37 and filled with air. Optionally, a filler 38 (partially illustrated in FIG. 3) may be accommodated in this interior space 37, whereby the stability or the resistance of the glove 1 against external influences in the reinforced zone 22 is additionally increased. The filler 38 may in this case be formed from a material which is compliant or deformable. In particular, a material is used, the inherent elastic properties and is automatically resets to its original position after deformation. The filler 38 may for this purpose by an elastomeric plastic, in particular rubber, or a foamable plastic, e.g. Polyuhrethan or the like., A gel, etc., be formed. Furthermore, there is the possibility that the filler 38 is formed by a powder or granules, can be intercepted with the acting on the glove 1 vibrations or shocks and compensated. Furthermore, depending on the field of application of the glove 1, the filler 38 may have special thermal, in particular heat-resistant, mechanical or chemical properties.

A further, independent solution of the object of the invention resides in a glove 1 with a shaft 15 extending over the wrist region 16, in which the shaft 15 widens in the direction of the open end region 10 of the shaft 15. In particular, the shank 15 expands conically or funnel-shaped over at least a portion of the length 14.

Basically, such a widening shaft 15 is advantageous because next to a wrist or arm of a user and other clothing that are worn on the user's arm can be added in the shaft area in the interior 12 of the glove 1 and enclosed by the shaft 15. Especially when using the glove 1 for personnel of emergency services, especially firefighters or firefighters, this is advantageous because the sleeve part of a protective clothing and the front end 10th of the glove 1 inserted into each other or may overlap. The body of a user is thus reliably protected against external influences in this area.

In the wrist area 16, a first adjustment device 39 is provided, in particular a first belt 40 with which the opening width 13 of the shaft 15 in the wrist area 16 can be adjusted.

According to the invention, at least one further adjusting device 42, in particular a further belt 43, is arranged in a section 41 lying behind the wrist area 16 in the direction of the front end region 10 of the shaft 15. With the further belt 43, the opening width 13 of the shaft 15 can be adjusted in the shaft region located below the belt, and the shaft 15 can be lashed to a user arm in this region if required. About the adjusting devices 39, 42, the opening width 13 of the shaft 15 can be adjusted in each case in the corresponding longitudinal section of the glove 1, and this can be done steplessly and preferably without resistance at the discretion of a user. In contrast to the shaft 15 automatically narrowing devices such. Elastics or the like brings a resistance-free adjustment without actively and automatically narrowing the shaft, the advantage that a larger adjustment range is given about the adjustment devices 39, 42 and the manual adjustment of the shaft 15 a freer, more accurate and comfortable adjustment of the glove 1 is feasible. In this case, the opening width 13 of the shaft 15 can be adjusted to one or more positions of the shaft length 14, so that over the shaft length 14 an inner side of the glove 1 on the body part of a user substantially continuously and continuously brought into contact and can be attached.

As can be seen from FIGS. 1 to 3, the first belt 40 and the further belt 43 are belt-like and the straps 40, 43 each enclose a partial circumference of the shaft 15. The straps 40, 43 are above or a plurality of fastening elements in a fastening region 44 with one of the material blanks 3 or material layers 17 of the shaft 15 permanently connected, in particular via other seams 4, or at least temporarily fixed thereto. Furthermore, an eyelet 45, 46, in which the straps 40, 41 are threaded and loop-shaped toward the upper side of the glove 1, is arranged along the circumferential course of the straps 40, 43, distanced from the fastening region 44 by a distance 45. as shown in Fig. 1 - run. The straps 40, 43 can be fixed in position on the shaft 15 via a connecting device 47, 48 on a connecting region 49, in particular on the upper side of the glove 1. The straps 40, 43 can be adjusted continuously in the direction of arrows 50, 51 by applying tensile forces, whereby the opening widths 13 of the shaft 15 in the region of the respective straps 40, 43 by contraction or expansion of the shaft 15 by means of the straps 40, 43 is adjustable. When lashing the shaft 15, the corresponding shaft region is narrowed over the belt 43 until the inside of the glove 1 rests against a body part or sleeve of a user in this shaft region.

The connecting device 47 described in FIGS. 1 to 3 is only one of many possible embodiments, wherein, for example, also knitting belts or belts extending completely around the shaft 15, which are e.g. via buckles, loops, etc. in the opening widths are adjustable, can be provided. Such devices for narrowing or lashing of a body enveloping materials can be configured arbitrarily and they are familiar to the expert from the prior art, which is why at this point not discussed in more detail their design.

The shaft 15 extends in the direction of an elbow of a user, for example, into a central region of a user's forearm, in particular into a rear forearm of the user, the further belt 43 in a half of the front end region 10 of the glove 1 nearest half, in particular a Stirnendbereich 10 nearest third, the length 14, between the end face of the shaft 15 and the wrist area 16, is arranged.

The connecting device 47, 48 has in the illustrated embodiment, in each case on the belt 40, 43 and on the shaft 15 mutually corresponding coupling elements 52, 53. The coupling elements 52, 53 are, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, formed by cooperating Velcro fasteners to form a hook and loop fastener, wherein the inner broad sides of the straps 40, 43, a first Velcro material and the shaft 15, a further Velcro material is attached. In this case, the coupling element 53 in the form of a hook-and-loop fastener on the shaft is essentially strip-shaped and arranged to extend transversely to the insertion or removal direction 34 and extends around a partial region of the circumference of the shaft 15.

In one possible embodiment variant, the at least one further belt 43 can be arranged on the shaft 15 at a plurality of fastening positions spaced apart from one another in the shaft longitudinal direction or separate, further adjustment devices 42 or belts 43 are provided at a plurality of fastening positions. In each case coupling elements 43 are provided at the individual attachment positions, which are arranged side by side. In Fig. 1 and 3, this is exemplified by two juxtaposed extending Velcro straps.

Of course, the coupling elements 52, 53 may also be formed by further connecting elements, such as Z, B, plug-in, button, clips, magnetic or latching connectors, which may be provided instead of or in addition to the previously described hook and loop fastener connection.

FIG. 5 shows a further, independent solution of the object according to the invention, wherein, for the sake of simplicity, identical parts have been provided with the same reference numerals as in FIGS. 1 to 4. The illustrated glove 1 is constructed by at least one of the material layers 17, wherein this material layer 17 or a layer structure comprising this material layer 17 is inelastic or non-stretchable. As described above, the material layer 17 can be formed, for example, by a textile fabric, a leather, a plastic, etc., from an inelastic or non-stretchable material.

At the shaft 15 extending beyond the wrist area 16, at least one of the adjusting devices 39; 42 is provided, with which the opening width 13 can be set at least in a portion of the length 14 of the shaft 15. In particular, the first adjusting device 39 is provided with which the opening width 13 of the shaft 15 in the wrist area 16 of the glove 1 is adjustable. In a preferred embodiment variant, the additional adjusting device 42 (shown in phantom) is additionally provided, with which the opening width 13 of the shaft 15 in the face region 10 of the shaft 15 can be adjusted.

To achieve this, the shaft 15 in the front end region 10 with the slip-in opening 11 on the outer surface 23 has a circumference in the range of 20 cm to 40 cm, in particular 25 cm to 36 cm. This circumference is measured on a circumferential line shown in dash-dotted lines, which surrounds the shaft 15 annularly approximately parallel to a front edge in the front end region 10. This circumference corresponds to a maximum opening width 13 or a maximum diameter of the substantially hollow cylindrical shaft 15 in the front end region 10 of approximately 6 cm to approximately 13 cm.

The shank 15 may comprise a preferably narrow wedge or band blank 54, which forms a small part of the circumference of the shaft 15 on the outer surface 23 and which is connected at connecting lines 55 with the surrounding material blanks 3 of the shaft 15. A width 56 of the wedge or band blank 54 in the front end region 10 of the shaft 15 may be, for example, between 0.5 cm to 5 cm, in particular 1 cm to 3 cm. The wedge or ribbon blank 54 extends at least over a portion of the length 14 of the shaft 15 from the front end portion 10 of the shaft 15 in the direction of the wrist portion 16. The wedge or tape blank 54 serves as an extension element over which the circumference of the shaft 15 if necessary so far can be expanded so that a user's hand can be easily and comfortably inserted into the slip 11 and over which the shaft 15 in a position of use of the glove 1 can be narrowed so far that it can be brought compact and close to a user's hand to the plant. The circumference of the shaft 15 with the wedge or band blank 54 according to the invention is approximately 20 cm to 40 cm, as described above.

In one possible embodiment, the wedge or band blank 54 is formed by an inelastic and non-stretchable material, for example a textile, leather or plastic. In this case, the wedge or tape blank 54 may be folded substantially along the connecting lines 56 to establish a position of use of the glove 1 in which it is worn by a user and intended for use be so that a wedge or tape outer side 57 in the position of use of the glove 1 at least partially faces the surrounding outer surface 23 of the shaft 15 and this is opposite. In such a folded wedge or band blank 54 in the position of use, the material blanks 3 connected to the wedge or band blank 54 overlap in regions. The material blanks 3 can overlap approximately by a width 57 of the wedge or band blank 54, wherein the wedge or band blank 54 lies in this position of use between the overlapping material blanks 3. This position of use can be fixed on the further adjustment device 42, so that an inner side of the shaft 15 sits closely and largely directly on the user arm. The opening width 13 of the shaft 15 is dimensioned in the position of use such that the inside of the shaft 15 at least over a portion of the length 14 of the shaft 15 on a user arm substantially directly and without joint or wrinkling brought under exercise a holding force to the plant can.
