EP1946660B1 - Reversible ring mesh protective glove - Google Patents

Abstract

The glove has a rotatable metallic ring mesh with a closing strip (15) partially received in a receiving channel (10) or in a back strap and fixing the glove at a body of a carrier. An opening pushes the strip on an outer side of the glove and is formed by multiple passage openings (A, B) that are spaced from each other in a circumference direction of the glove. The passage openings are shifted around a distance to each other in the direction and provided in an area of the channel or strap. A base of the passage openings is covered by an opposite side of the channel or strap.

Description

Field of the invention

The invention relates to a protective glove made of reversible metal ring mesh with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.

State of the art

Such protective gloves, as they are based on the preamble of claim 1 DE 43 05 320 A1 are known to be worn eg in meat processing plants to protect themselves against slashing, stabbing and cutting injuries. Metal ring braids are highly flexible and give their hand to protect their mobility. To prevent the glove from slipping off, the gloves are fastened to the hand or body of the user by fastener tapes. What is needed is a fixation for which a closing strap is inserted into loops and fixed there.

From the WO 02/098249 A1 For example, a lock-in strap inserted into a receiving channel is known having a push-button which is alternately attachable to various push-button receivers that are circumferentially spaced and used alternately when the glove is worn on the left or right hand. To accomplish this change, however, the closing band must be removed when turning the glove from the receiving channel and introduced in accordance with the reverse direction.

From the DE 299 10 449 U1 the arrangement of a closing band is known, which consists of metal ring mesh and is firmly linked with glove. If required, it can be passed through passage openings through the metal ring mesh to be fastened on the outside to the glove.

From the US-A 5,054,126 is a protective glove with two conventional snaps on a textile closing tape known. On the circumference of the closing strap a push button for a first push-button receptacle and spaced therefrom a push button receptacle for a second push button are provided. The counterpart is formed by an adjustable along the closing band element which forms on one side of the first push-button receptacle and on the other side the second push-button. If the glove for use on the other hand to turn is first to adapt this element to the changed position of the counterpart.

Closure means and closure bands per se are also known from the following documents: DE 93 13 344 U1 . DE 101 16 922 C1 . DE 103 34 852 A1 . DE 103 34 903 A1 . DE 103 58 432 B4 . DE 20 2005 011 181 U1 . DE 20 2006 003 606 U1 . US-A 4,750,218 ,

Object of the invention

Based on this prior art, the present invention seeks to provide an easily reversible protective glove, which meets the desired safety requirements.

This object is achieved by a protective glove having the features specified in claim 1.

The protective glove has for the passage of the closing strap on the respective outer side a plurality of spaced-apart passage openings, so that even in the region of these passage openings a sufficient puncture protection is provided. These passage openings are preferably provided in the region of a receiving channel or in the region of loops, so that they come to rest radially on the inside or on the outside of the receiving channel. The closure band can thus be guided alternately outwards through the openings, at the same time ensuring that the bottom of the respective opening is still covered by metal ring mesh. This makes it almost impossible to get through the slots with a knife or stickleback to the body of the wearer.

Preferably, a fully closed end edge on the glove is thus possible, which is desirable for safety reasons. Nevertheless, due to the offset passage openings, a stretchability for putting on the protective glove can be achieved despite a complete closure, so that a visually and safety-optimized termination area results in the transition to the user's arm.

Further advantages emerge from the subclaims and the following description.

Description of preferred embodiments

Before describing the invention in detail, it should be understood that it is not limited to the particular parts of the protective glove and the respective method steps, as these parts and methods may vary. The terms used herein are intended only to describe particular embodiments and are not intended to be limiting. Furthermore, if in the specification or claims the singular or indefinite articles are used This also applies to the majority of these elements, unless the overall context clearly makes something else clear.

The FIGS. 1 to 3 show a protective clothing 40 and a protective glove 35 once on a complete arm and once in the area of the hand and forearm, which at least partially consist of a metal ring mesh. Such protective clothing is used to protect eg butchers against puncture; Slash and cut injuries. For fixing the protective gloves on the body of the wearer closing bands 15 are provided, in addition, reinforcements 32 or according to the FIGS. 2 and 3 Stiffening elements 23 inserted into the metal ring mesh or integrated therein to prevent collapse of the cuff 22 of the protective glove 35.

The present protective gloves are formed without a slot, but may also have a slot. An embodiment without a slot has the advantage that no additional precautions must be taken to prevent passage of a knife or a stick in the region of the slot.

The closing straps 15 for fixing the protective glove 35 on the body of a wearer can be determined by measures customary in the prior art on the glove and consist of the customary plastic materials, of metal or similar materials. For fixing the closing band 15 on the protective glove, the configuration of a receiving channel 10 is possible, which is formed by metal ring mesh, which is folded at the end of the protective glove, or which is formed by that metal ring mesh is placed on the metal ring mesh of the protective glove 35. The possibilities known for this purpose are known to the person skilled in the art. The same applies to the design of loops in which the closing strap can be accommodated. It is only essential that corresponding passage openings A, B are provided in the region of the loops and / or the receiving channel. These passages serve to pass the closure strip 15 on the outside of the protective glove, to fix it there with known fixatives. Such fixing means may be hooks, buttons, buckles and the like, which fixation of the locking strip 15th enable. In the drawings, it is refrained from representing such fixings, since they are known in the art. It goes without saying that the in FIG. 4 shown closing strap 15 must be fixed at its end in the receiving channel 10 or at a suitable other location of the receiving channel to avoid withdrawal.

The opening for the passage of the closing strap on the outside of the protective glove is formed in the embodiment by a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart from the protective glove openings A, B, of which at least one on the outside and at least one inside of the protective glove 35 is provided. According to Fig. 4 For this purpose, a receiving channel 10 is formed of metal ring mesh, in which the passage openings A, B are provided as slots. These slots are located alternately from the perspective of a center line of the hand of a wearer radially inward and radially outward. This makes it possible that the closing strip 15 in the illustration according to Fig. 4 can pass through the opening A to the outside. When the glove is turned, the closing strap 15 can pass through the opening B to the outside, so that the closing strap 15 only has to be withdrawn and carried out on the corresponding other side. The same solution is possible if corresponding slots or openings A, B are provided in the region of loops.

The embodiment in the two passage openings A, B are in the circumferential direction and at a distance X according to Fig. 5 offset from each other. This is in particular from Fig. 4 clearly that the bottom of the openings A, B is covered by the opposite side of the receiving channel 10 and the loop. To illustrate this was in Fig. 5 in the region of the receiving channel 10, the ring structure is not shown. This makes it clear that the in Fig. 4 from the outside accessible passage opening A is back covered by the rear wall 10a of the receiving channel 10, while the in Fig. 5 behind lying passage opening B is covered by the front wall 10b of the receiving channel 10.

According to Fig. 5 the receiving channel 10 adjoins a preferably fully closed end edge 12 of the protective glove. This is also an intrusion here reliably avoid stinging devices. However, since the passage openings A and B are provided in this connection area to the arm of the user, nevertheless a sufficient extensibility for comfortable putting on the glove is ensured.
