Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a glove whose outer surface side and inner surface side are both superior in slip resistance, and more particularly, relates to a glove that is superior in slip resistance of the inner surface side of the glove and also is superior in the adhesion strength of the outer surface side of the glove from a coating layer of a rubber or a resin formed on the outer surface side of the glove.
  • a glove whose gripping property has been improved by forming a foamed coating of a rubber or a resin on a fibrous glove knitted from elastic fibers and inelastic fibers (for example, JP-A-2008-75201 ).
  • the glove disclosed in JP-A-2008-75201 has sufficient slip resistance on its outer surface side because the outer surface side is covered with a foamed coating of a rubber or a resin, but the inner surface side of the glove is not always sufficient in slip resistance.
  • the glove disclosed in JP-B-4-5763 is satisfactory in slip resistance on the inner surface side thereof, but the slip resistance of the outer surface side is not sufficient and, as a result, it has a disadvantage that when gripping a heavy object, the heavy object slips down.
  • the present inventors have tried to form a coating layer of a rubber or a vinyl chloride-based resin on the outer surface side of a fibrous glove whose outer surface side and inner surface side of the glove are made of microfibers.
  • a coating layer sometimes peels off during use due to low adhesion strength between microfibers and a rubber or a vinyl chloride-based resin, so that satisfactory gloves could not be obtained.
  • a glove with sufficient adhesion strength can be obtained by forming a coating layer of a rubber or a vinyl chloride-based resin by a specific method even if the outer surface side is formed of microfibers.
  • a coating layer superior in adhesion strength can be formed not by a specific method but by an ordinary method by including non- microfibers in the outer surface side on which the coating layer is to be formed.
  • the present invention has been accomplished on the basis of these findings.
  • the glove of the present invention has the following features:
  • the glove of the present invention is superior in slip resistance and is prevented from causing troubles such as slipping off of the glove during use due to the slip of fingers in the glove because the inner surface side thereof contains a microfiber which has high frictional resistance to fingers and the microfiber comes into contact with fingers.
  • a coating layer of a rubber or a vinyl chloride-based resin has been formed on the outer surface side and the coating layer has excellent adhesion strength to the outer surface side of the glove, a trouble that the coating layer peels off during use is prevented and a high performance glove excellent in slip resistance on both the inner and outer surface sides can be provided.
  • the glove of the present invention has a feature that it comprises a fibrous glove and a coating layer of a rubber or a vinyl chloride-based resin formed on an outer surface side of the fibrous glove, wherein at least an inner surface side of the fibrous glove includes a microfiber having a diameter of a monofilament of not more than 6 ⁇ m.
  • an outer surface side indicates a side not in contact with fingers and the term “an inner surface side” indicates a side in contact with fingers.
  • a diameter does not indicate a diameter of a bundle of microfibers, but a diameter of a monofilament of microfibers.
  • the term “sprittable fiber” indicates a fiber before spritting and the term “sprit fiber” indicates a microfiber after spritting.
  • the fibrous glove usable as a base material in the present invention includes, at least on the inner surface side of the fibrous glove, a microfiber having a diameter of a monofilament (hereinafter, referred simply to as "diameter") of not more than 6 ⁇ m.
  • the diameter of the microfiber is not particularly limited in its lower limit, but neither microfibers having a diameter of less than 0.1 ⁇ m nor splittable fibers capable of affording such microfibers after splitting are commercially available. Accordingly, the lower limit of the diameter of the microfiber is about 0.1 ⁇ m in view of current availability. On the other hand, if the diameter exceeds 6 ⁇ m, frictional resistance with fingers becomes small and desired slip resistance cannot be obtained sufficiently.
  • microfibers are available commercially in the form of splittable fibers.
  • one splittable fiber is split into several fibers by a hot water treatment with 1 to 5% NaOH at 80 to 100°C for 10 to 40 minutes, thereby becoming microfibers.

  • non-microfibers are just required to be fibers larger in diameter than microfibers, those in filaments are about 15 to about 30 ⁇ m in diameter are preferred.
  • non-microfibers include single yarn and covered composite yarn of synthetic fibers such as acryl, polyester, nylon, aramid and polyethylene; natural fibers such as cotton, hemp and silk; and regenerated fibers such as rayon.
  • polyurethane elastic yarns covered with at least one member selected from nylon, polyester and cotton are preferred. By the elastic yarns, slip resistance is further improved due to their compressive force and fitting force.
  • non-microfibers cut-resistant fibers having a high crystallizability such as ultra high molecular weight polyethylene having high strength, aramide, etc.
  • These fibers tend to slip and by providing the microfibers to the inner surface side of these fibers, slip resistance as well as cut-reisitant property is imparted to both the outer surface side and the inner surface side of a glove, and thus a glove excellent in workability can be provided.
  • acrylic fiber, regenerated fibers such as rayon, etc., on the outer surface side a glove excellent in protection against the cold can be provided.
  • the method for including non-microfibers into the fibrous glove there are excemplified a method for plating non-microfibers to the outer surface side using a seamless knitting machine of 7G or more, a method for sewing a fabric obtained by plating microfibers and non-microfibers by the use of a circular knitting machine and using it so that the non-microfibers are located on the outer surface side, and a method for obtaining two kinds of cloth; one is made of microfibers and the other is made of non-microfibers, and sticking them into a double-material structure.
  • the proportion of the non-microfiber of the outer surface side is preferably more than 50% by weight, more preferably, more than 80% by weight, and even more preferably, more than 95% by weight.
  • Examples of the rubber in the present invention include natural rubber, isoprene, chloroprene, acrylic ester, styrene-butadiene copolymers, acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymers, polyurethane, butyl rubber, polybutadiene rubber and silicone rubber, and moreover, copolymers having up to 10% by weight of carboxyl modification group and blends thereof are also used.
  • well-known additives including crosslinking agents such as sulfur and zinc oxide, vulcanization accelerators, antiaging agents, pigments, and thickeners are added to the rubber.

  • a fibrous glove On the outer surface side of a fibrous glove is formed the above-described coating of a rubber or a vinyl chloride-based resin.
  • the position where the coating layer is to be formed is not limited particularly, it is usually the palm region or fingertip regions of a glove, such portions being to come into contact with objects and being required to have slip resistance.
  • the method of forming a coating layer of rubber includes a coagulation method and a heat sensitive method.
  • a fibrous glove is put on a hand-shaped mold made of metal, porcelain, etc. and dipped in a coagulant.
  • the coagulant include solutions in warm water or methanol containing metal salts such as calcium nitrate, calcium chloride, sodium chloride, and magnesium hydroxide, acetic acid, cyclohexylamine sulfate, etc.
  • the concentration is usually 0.1 to 10 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of warm water or methanol. When less than 0.1 part by weight, a rubber formulation liquid tends to permeate easily. When exceeding 10 parts by weight, adhesion strength between a rubber coating and a fibrous glove tends to lower.
  • the concentration of a coagulant is adjusted to a coagulant concentration balanced so that a rubber coating may not fully cover a fiber bundle on the inner surface side of a fibrous glove, in other words, a rubber coating may not permeate a fiber bundle completely and adhesion strength may not lower.
  • a solution of calcium nitrate in methanol or warm water is used suitably.
  • excess coagulant is allowed to drop for 3 to 20 seconds with the fingertips of the fibrous glove put on the hand-shaped mold facing downward and then the fingertips of the fibrous glove put on the hand-shaped mold is caused to face upward for 3 to 20 seconds, thereby allowing the coagulant gathered in the fingertips to become uniform at the dipping surface of the coagulant.
  • the fibrous glove is removed from the hand-shaped mold, followed by leaching at about 25 to 60°C for about 10 to 60 minutes. Then, if necessary, the glove is put again on a hand-shaped mold having a shape that the thumb, the remaining four fingers and the palm are curved inward so that the center of the palm becomes concave (curve approximately in the shape formed when a person has relaxed hand force) and is subjected to a heat treatment at about 100 to about 140°C for about 20 to about 60 minutes.
  • the heat treatment means vulcanization and the state where moisture has merely removed by drying and a great improvement in strength has not been achieved is an unvulcanized state. Leaching may be carried out after the heat treatment.
  • the heat treatment may be performed directly without removing the glove from the hand-shaped mold after drying.
  • the coating may be formed in which two or three layers including a slip-resistant layer have been stacked. To allow a compound of rubber to permeate a fiber bundle completely, thereby covering the fibrous glove with the rubber to the inner surface side of is undesirable because parts where fibers come into contact with fingers are eliminated, so that feeling of discomfort is raised and slip is caused by sweat inside of the glove.
  • a fibrous glove is put on a hand-shaped mold, heated to about 50 to about 90°C, dipped in a compound of rubber, and then dried. Drying conditions, leaching, heat treatment, etc. after the drying are the same as those of the above-described coagulation method.
  • the heat sensitive method is preferred compared to the coagulation method because a glove superior in the adhesion property of a rubber coating can be obtained.
  • a glove superior in adhesion property can be obtained by either the coagulation method or the heat sensitive method.
  • a glove superior in adhesion property in the case where the outer surface side of a fibrous glove is made of microfibers can be obtained by applying oil-repellent treatment with an oil repellent agent in advance to a fibrous glove.
  • an oil repellent agent such as fluorine-based resin, silicone-based resin, etc.
