Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Handschuhinsert auf Textilbasis, das mit einer wasserabweisenden und atmungsaktiven Membran aus Polyurethan, Polyetherester oder expandiertem Polytetrafluorethylen nahtlos beschichtet ist.The invention relates to a textile-based glove insert which is seamlessly coated with a water-repellent and breathable membrane of polyurethane, polyetherester or expanded polytetrafluoroethylene.

Es sind Handschuhinserts bekannt, die aus zwei hauchdünnen wasserabweisenden und atmungsaktiven Kunststofffolien durch Verkleben oder Verschweissen ausgebildet sind siehe z.B. EP 0 410 292 . Derartige Handschuhinserts werden vielfach nur als eine Art Zwischenlage zwischen dem Handschuhfutter auf Textilbasis und dem Aussenhandschuh verwendet. Diese Handschuhinserts sind zwar wasserabweisend und atmungsaktiv, vermissen aber die gewünschte dreidimenzionale anatomische Form und lassen sich nur mit extremen Schwierigkeiten mit dem Handschuhfutter und dem Aussenhandschuh verbinden. Das hat den Nachteil, dass es durch die Herstellungsart der Inserts und die unterschiedliche Passform der einzelnen Handschuhteile zur Beschädigung der dünnen Inserts kommen könnte, sodass der Benutzer in einem solchen Handschuh dennoch feuchte Hände bekommt.There are known glove inserts, which are formed by two gossamer water-repellent and breathable plastic films by gluing or welding see, for example EP 0 410 292 , Such glove inserts are often used only as a kind of intermediate layer between the textile-based glove lining and the outer glove. Although these gloves inserts are water repellent and breathable, but miss the desired three-dimensional anatomical shape and can be connected only with extreme difficulty with the glove lining and the outer glove. This has the disadvantage that the manufacturing method of the inserts and the different fit of the individual glove parts could damage the thin inserts, so that the user in such a glove still gets wet hands.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, die oben beschriebenen Nachteile zu beheben, um den Tragekomfort zu erhöhen und einer Zerstörung der wasserdichten und atmungsaktiven Membranschicht zuvorzukommen.The object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages described above in order to increase the wearing comfort and to prevent the destruction of the waterproof and breathable membrane layer.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß durch ein Handschuhinsert auf Textilbasis der eingangs genannten Art, bei dem die gesamte Oberfläche durch eine nahtlose Beschichtung mit einem wasserabweisenden und atmungsaktiven Material ausgebildet ist. Unter einem atmungsaktiven Material wird im Sinne der Erfindung ein wasserdampfdurchlässiges Material verstanden. Ein solches Handschuhinsert ist vollständig wasser- bzw. flüssigkeitsdicht. Derartige Handschuhinserts werden hauptsächlich in Handschuhen im breiten Sportbereich eingesetzt. Beispielsweise beim Motorrad- oder Wintersport sind Handschuhe mit Handschuhinserts auf Textilbasis, die mit einer wasserabweisenden und atmungsaktiven Membranschicht versehen sind, vorteilhaft.This object is achieved according to the invention by a textile-based glove insert of the type mentioned in the introduction, in which the entire surface is formed by a seamless coating with a water-repellent and breathable material. For the purposes of the invention, a breathable material is understood as meaning a material which is permeable to water vapor. Such a glove insert is completely waterproof or liquid-tight. Such glove inserts are mainly used in gloves in the wide sports field. For example, in motorcycle or winter sports gloves with textile glove inserts, which are provided with a water-repellent and breathable membrane layer, advantageous.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn das Handschuhinsert aus einem Gestrick oder Vlies/Fleece ausgebildet ist, das mit einer atmungsaktiven Membran beschichtet wird. Ein Gestrick oder Vlies/Fleece steht in unmittelbarem Kontakt zur Hand, stellt eine gute Wärmeisolierung dar und verbessert so den Tragekomfort des gesamten Handschuhs. Ausserdem wird durch das Gestrick oder Vlies/Fleece Feuchtigkeit von der Hand aufgenommen und durch die Membran hindurch nach außen abtransportiert, wo sie verdampft bzw. verdunstet.It is particularly advantageous if the glove insert is made of a fabric or fleece / fleece which is coated with a breathable membrane. A knit or fleece / fleece is in direct contact with the hand, provides a good thermal insulation and thus improves the comfort of the entire glove. In addition, moisture is absorbed by the hand through the fabric or fleece / fleece and out through the membrane transported away, where it evaporates or evaporates.

Besonders bevorzugt ist es, wenn die nahtlose Beschichtung des Handschuhinserts auf Textilbasis mittels Polyurethan, Polyetherester oder expandiertem Polytetrafluorethylen vorgenommen wird. Derartige Materialien sind wasserabweisend, atmungsaktiv und können abriebsfest und/oder hitzebeständig ausgebildet werden. Dadurch ergibt sich ein vielfältiger Einsatzbereich des Handschuhinserts, beispielsweise bei der Feuerwehr, Polizei oder Militär, ohne dass eine Beschädigung der dünnen Beschichtung zu befürchten wäre.It is particularly preferred if the seamless coating of the textile-based glove insert is carried out by means of polyurethane, polyetherester or expanded polytetrafluoroethylene. Such materials are water repellent, breathable and can be made abrasion resistant and / or heat resistant. This results in a more diverse field of use of the glove insert, for example in the fire department, police or military, without any damage to the thin coating would be feared.

Wichtiger Bestandteil der vorliegenden Erfindung ist die Art, wie das Handschuhinsert auf Textilbasis mittels Polyurethan, Polyetherester oder expandiertem Polytetrafluorethylen nahtlos beschichtet wird. Dabei wird das wasserabweisende und atmungsaktive Material mittels feiner Luftzerstäubung mit Hilfe elektrostatischer Ladung auf die gesamte Oberfläche des Handschuhinserts auf Textilbasis aufgebracht. Anschliessend wird das beschichtete Handschuhinsert auf Textilbasis an der Luft oder in einem Ofen getrocknet.An important component of the present invention is the way in which the textile-based glove insert is seamlessly coated by means of polyurethane, polyetherester or expanded polytetrafluoroethylene. The water-repellent and breathable material is applied by means of fine air atomization by means of electrostatic charge on the entire surface of the textile-based glove insert. Subsequently, the textile-based coated glove insert is dried in air or in an oven.

Besonders wichtig ist die Tatsache, dass bei einem, wie vorhin beschrieben, nahtlos beschichteten Handschuhinsert die Notwendigkeit entfällt, die anfallenden Nahtverbindungen eines schon beschriebenen Handschuhinserts kompliziert flüssigkeitsdicht zu versiegeln.Particularly important is the fact that in a, as previously described, seamlessly coated glove insert eliminates the need to seal the resulting seams of a glove insert already described complicated liquid-tight.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn das Handschuhinsert vor dem nahtlosen Beschichten an den Fingerspitzen mit kleinen Ausbuchtungen zur sicheren Befestigung mit dem Aussenhandschuh versehen wird. Durch diese Maßnahme ist es möglich, das Handschuhinsert nach dem Beschichten problemlos mit dem Aussenhandschuh fest zu verbinden/vernähen, ohne dass die wasserabweisende und atmungsaktive Beschichtung beschädigt wird.It is particularly advantageous if the glove insert is provided with small bulges for secure attachment to the outer glove before the seamless coating on the fingertips. By this measure, it is possible to easily connect / sewn the glove insert after coating with the outer glove without the water-repellent and breathable coating is damaged.

Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels der Erfindung, anhand der Figur der Zeichnung, die erfindungswesentliche Einzelheiten zeigen, und aus den Ansprüchen. Die einzelnen Merkmale können je einzeln für sich oder zu mehreren in beliebiger Kombination bei einer Variante der Erfindung verwirklicht sein.Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of an embodiment of the invention, with reference to the figure of the drawing, the invention essential details show, and from the claims. The individual features can be realized individually for themselves or for several in any combination in a variant of the invention.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel ist in der schematischen Zeichnung dargestellt und wird in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung erläutert. Die einzige Figur zeigt ein Handschuhinsert.An embodiment is shown in the schematic drawing and will be explained in the following description. The single figure shows a glove insert.

In der Figur ist ein Handschuhinsert (1) dargestellt, mit einer schematischen Hervorhebung der Innenschicht (3) und der Aussenschicht (2). Die Innenschicht (3) weist im Ausführungsbeispiel ein Gestrick oder Vlies/Fleece auf. Darüber ist eine flüssigkeitsdichte, atmungsaktive Membranschicht (2) angeordnet. Durch diese Maßnahme kann der aufgrund von Transpiration entstehende Wasserdampf durch die Membranschicht (2) nach außen entweichen. Gleichzeitig wird durch die wasserabweisende und flüssigkeitsdichte Eigenschaft der Membranschicht (2), die nahtlos über das gesamte Handschuhinsert (1) aufgebracht wird, das Eindringen von Flüssigkeiten in das Handschuhinnere (6) verhindert. Das Handschuhinsert (1) weist vor der Beschichtung herstellungstechnisch Nähte (4) auf, die durch den Beschichtungsvorgang versiegelt werden, sodass durch sie keine Flüssigkeit in das Handschuhinnere (6) eindringen kann. Das Handschuhinsert (1) wird vor dem nahtlosen Beschichten an den Fingerspitzen mit kleinen Ausbuchtungen (5) zur sicheren Befestigung mit dem Aussenhandschuh versehen. Durch diese Maßnahme ist es möglich, das Handschuhinsert (1) nach dem Beschichten problemlos mit dem Aussenhandschuh fest zu verbinden/vernähen, ohne dass die wasserabweisende und atmungsaktive Membranschicht (2) beschädigt wird.In the figure, a glove insert (1) is shown, with a schematic emphasis on the inner layer (3) and the outer layer (2). The inner layer (3) has a knitted fabric or fleece / fleece in the exemplary embodiment. In addition, a liquid-tight, breathable membrane layer (2) is arranged. By virtue of this measure, the water vapor produced as a result of transpiration can escape to the outside through the membrane layer (2). At the same time, the penetration of liquids into the glove interior (6) is prevented by the water-repellent and liquid-tight property of the membrane layer (2), which is applied seamlessly over the entire glove insert (1). The glove insert (1) prior to the coating manufacturing technology seams (4), which are sealed by the coating process, so that no liquid can penetrate through them in the glove interior (6). The glove insert (1) is provided with small bulges (5) for secure attachment with the outer glove before the seamless coating on the fingertips. By this measure, it is possible to easily connect the glove insert (1) after coating with the outer glove / sewn without the water-repellent and breathable membrane layer (2) is damaged.
