Description

DESCRIPTION

Glove

The present invention refers to an intervention glove.

Intervention gloves of this kind are generally used by persons in interventions in which harsh environmental conditions may be present. For this reason, intervention gloves are made of stable materials that are not sensitive to environmental conditions of this kind.

First of all, this applies to intervention gloves in the form of firefighter's gloves. They are not only exposed to very strong water projections, but also to high temperatures.

To protect a person during interventions of this kind, it is not enough that the intervention glove itself guarantees protection against environmental influences. Rather, it is necessary for the intervention gloves to form a tight seal with an intervention jacket that a person wears during an intervention, in particular to prevent a penetration of water between the intervention glove and the intervention jacket. To meet these demands, it is known to design intervention gloves as mitt gloves. Such a mitt glove, in the glove body, has a mitt that is stretched over the intervention jacket. The advantage of such a mitt glove lies in the fact that the forearm of a person wearing the mitt glove is completely covered. In addition, it is considered advantageous that the mitt glove can be donned relatively easily, where donning on the surgical jacket, however, requires a certain amount of time.

An essential disadvantage of mitten gloves lies in the fact that from above, on the sleeves of the intervention jacket, liquids, in particular water, can penetrate into the intervention glove, which is generally a problem in interventions.

Furthermore, it is known to use intervention gloves cut longer, for example so that a wristband is attached to the glove. The intervention glove wristband is worn under the sleeve of the intervention jacket, which is then closed by a zipper when the wristband is worn under the intervention jacket. It is considered advantageous here that liquids, but also not hazardous substances, cannot reach the intervention glove via the intervention jacket. However, it is considered disadvantageous that putting on such an intervention glove is relatively difficult and time-consuming, since putting on the wristband below the intervention jacket is complicated.

From US 2014/0096306 A1, JP S5373065 U and US 5,020,161 A, gloves are known that have closure means in the form of zip fasteners. Document US 5,020,161 A describes the preamble of claim 1.

Application WO 2014/113642 A1 refers to footwear designed as a boot. The shoe has laces as the first means of closure. As a further closure means a zipper closure is provided. When the zipper closure is open, a section can be folded back in the area of the boot collar, so that a larger insertion opening is produced, through which a foot can be inserted into the shoe. A strap is attached to the zipper pull. At one end of the strap a velcro strap is provided for fixing on the cuff. The other end of the strap is attached to the collar of the boot with elastic straps. To close the strap, it is extended upwards, so that the elastic straps stretch and close the zipper. After that process the strap is then brought into its closing position and the Velcro tape joint is closed. To open the strip, the velcro tape joint is separated. The elastic bands contract, due to which the zipper opens.

JP S5373065 U application refers to a golf glove that has a zipper closure at the back. By opening as well as closing the slide fastener, the insertion opening through which a hand can be inserted is made smaller or larger. A strip is provided transversely to the zipper closure, which, when the zipper closure is closed, can be attached to the back of the glove, so that it covers a part of the zipper closure.

The object of the present invention is to provide an intervention glove that has a high functionality and that can also be put on and taken off simply and quickly.

To solve said object, the features of claim 1 are provided. Advantageous embodiments and expedient refinements of the invention are described in the dependent claims. The invention relates to an intervention glove with a glove body, glove fingers and a cuff that is attached to the glove body. The cuff can be narrowed by a closure system. The closure system has a strip that is fixed at one end to the intervention glove, and which has a mechanical closure means that, in order to narrow the glove, is guided towards a corresponding mechanical closure means by means of a closing movement of the strip, due to which a mechanical fastener is formed. A slide fastener is provided on the cuff, the handle of which, by means of a coupling means, is coupled to the strap in such a way that the slide fastener closes with the closing movement of the strap.

The intervention glove is designed for outdoor interventions, where it is designed to be resistant against harsh environmental influences, such as splashes of water and high temperatures. To this end, the intervention glove is made of correspondingly resistant materials, in particular water-tight and temperature-resistant.

According to the invention, the intervention glove has an extension in the form of a cuff, which is attached to the body of the glove and, advantageously, is made of the same material as the cuff.

The cuff is provided with a closure system that, on the one hand, has mechanical closure means and, on the other hand, has a zipper closure. According to the invention, the puller of the slide fastener, by means of a coupling means, is connected to the strip which has a mechanical closure means, due to which they are coupled in terms of movement. Due to this it is achieved that by means of a closure movement of the strap, in which the mechanical closure means on the strap is guided over a corresponding mechanical closure means, preferably arranged on the cuff, the slider of the zip fastener moves also through the coupling means, so that it closes by itself. The same applies in reverse when opening the mechanical seal formed by the mechanical seal means. If the strip with the mechanical closing means is lifted from the corresponding closing means, the slide fastener opens by itself by means of the coupling means. Therefore, by engaging the strip in the slide fastener according to the invention, only by a movement of the strip, the mechanical fastener with the mechanical fastener means can be opened and closed, and at the same time the slider can also be opened or closed. Zip closure.

In this way, complicated manual handling of the slide fastener is completely eliminated. A person already wearing an intervention glove can handle the strap more easily than a zipper puller. The handling of the closure system according to the invention is thus extremely simple and comfortable for the user.

Another essential advantage of the invention is that the closure system according to the invention can be opened and closed very quickly, so that the requirements of DIN EN 659:2008-06 can be met. This standard, for the use of the intervention glove as a firefighter's glove, requires that it must be able to open in a period of no more than 3 seconds. This requirement is met by the intervention glove according to the invention, so that it can be used as a firefighter's glove. Naturally, the intervention glove according to the invention can also be used in other fields of use, for example as a police glove or a rescue glove.

By closing the zipper, the surgical glove according to the invention narrows in the area of the cuff. Thus, it is considered particularly advantageous that when the slide fastener is closed, the cuff is narrowed over the entire length of the slide fastener. The strip with the mechanical closure means reinforces this effect when the strip is closed and its mechanical closure means is in contact with the corresponding mechanical closure means and forms the mechanical closure. In addition, the mechanical closure forms an additional protection, since the strip is placed over the zip closure and partially covers it.

By narrowing the cuff of the intervention glove according to the invention, it can be easily and quickly inserted into the sleeve of an intervention jacket. The sleeve positioned over the cuff safely and reliably prevents the penetration of liquids or hazardous substances between the intervention glove and the intervention jacket. Thus, the surgical glove according to the invention has a high functionality.

According to an advantageous configuration in terms of ergonomics, the zipper closure is arranged on the back of the cuff. Of course, the zipper closure can also be provided on the inner side of the cuff.

In this case, the fastening of the strap on the cuff and the corresponding mechanical closure means are located on both sides of the zip fastener.

In this way, the strap is also fixed in the area of the back of the intervention glove and can thus be easily handled by the person wearing the intervention glove.

According to an advantageous configuration, the mechanical closure means are designed in the form of Velcro closures. The hook-and-loop fasteners only need to be pressed against each other to produce the mechanical closure, which can be done very simply. The mechanical closure can also be easily separated by removing the first hook-and-loop closure from the second hook-and-loop closure.

Guiding the Velcro closure on the strip, on the corresponding Velcro closure, becomes particularly simple when it is arranged directly on the back of the intervention glove. Naturally, variants are also possible, so that the corresponding hook-and-loop closure itself is attached to a strip.

Mechanical closure means are generally not limited to hook-and-loop closures. In principle, other closure means, such as hooks or the like, can also be used.

The coupling means that joins the strap with the zip fastener's handle is generally formed by a flexible element, that is, it can be easily bent, which, however, advantageously, cannot be elastically deformed in the longitudinal direction. and, with it, it cannot be lengthened. Thanks to this, a coupling is obtained in terms of movement, of the strip with the zipper closure, which can be reproduced. Particularly advantageously, a tape is provided as the coupling means, the longitudinal end of which is connected to the strip and the longitudinal second end of which is connected to a handle holding element on the slide fastener handle.

In order to be able to carry out the automatic opening and closing of the slide fastener according to the invention, solely by means of a movement of the strip for opening and closing the mechanical fastener, the dimensioning and arrangement of the strip with the mechanical fastener means and the locking means The corresponding mechanical seal as well as the rack seal are adapted to each other.

In order that an effective constriction of the surgical glove is achieved by means of the mechanical closure, the strap advantageously extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the surgical glove in its closed position.

Suitably for this, the longitudinal axis of the zipper closure extends obliquely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the intervention glove, where the closed end of the zipper closure is arranged inside, in the cuff, and is located closer to the strap attachment than the open end of the zipper which is located in the area of the outer edge of the cuff.

Advantageously, the longitudinal axis of the slide fastener extends at an angle of inclination a, where 0° < a < 90°.

Particularly advantageously, the angle of inclination a is in the range from 20° < to < 60°.

Therefore, if the strap moves transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the intervention glove to open or close the mechanical closure, by coupling the handle to the strap, with the coupling means, during the movement of the strap a component of force is always generated on the handle which is oriented in the longitudinal direction of the zipper, thus achieving an opening or closing of the zipper.

In this way, the adaptation of the individual components of the closure system takes place in such a way that during the closing or opening movement of the strap the zipper is completely opened or closed. Surprisingly, this can be easily achieved by appropriately selecting the length of the zipper and its orientation in the cuff at its angle of inclination relative to the longitudinal direction of the interventional glove.

In the following, the invention is explained by means of the drawings. They show:

Figure 1: An example of execution of the intervention glove according to the invention when the closure system is open.

Figure 2: the intervention glove according to figure 1, as the closure system is partially closed.

Figures 1 and 2 show an example of execution of the intervention glove 1 according to the invention. The intervention glove 1, in this case, is designed as a firefighter's glove, and on the outside, it preferably consists of watertight or hydrophobic materials, and also heat resistant. Alternatively, the intervention glove 1 can also be designed as a police glove or a rescue glove.

The intervention glove 1 is designed as a glove with fingers and thus has a glove body 2 with five attached glove fingers 3a to 3e, where one glove finger 3e is designed as a thumb. The intervention glove 1 has an extension in the form of a cuff 4, which is made of the same material as the body of the glove 2.

On the cuff 4 a closure system is provided. The closing system, on the one hand, consists of a mechanical closing system. On the one hand, it comprises a strap 5 with a mechanical closure 6 in the form of a Velcro closure and, on the other hand, it comprises a corresponding mechanical closure means 7, which is likewise designed in the form of a Velcro closure.

As can be seen in figures 1 and 2, the strip 5 forms an elongated flat body, which with one end of the longitudinal side is fixed on the intervention glove 1, preferably it is sewn. In this way, the strap 5 in the area of the cuff 4 is attached to a first side edge of the intervention glove 1.

The Velcro closure is fixed on the inner side of the strap 5, in the area of the free end of the strap 5, where it is preferably sewn to the strap 5.

On the opposite side edge of the cuff 4 the corresponding mechanical closure means 7 is attached, in the form of a second Velcro closure. Preferably, the Velcro closure is sewn on top of the intervention glove 1. The strap 5 forms a body that can be flexibly bent. With that system a mechanical closure is formed, so that a person holds the strap 5 and guides the mechanical closure means 6 provided there against the corresponding mechanical closure means 7, directly on the intervention glove 1. The mechanical closure is formed as soon as the Velcro closures forming the mechanical closure means 6, 7 are pressed against each other. This closure achieves a narrowing of the cuff 4. In the closed state, the strap 5 extends transversely, i.e. perpendicularly with respect to the longitudinal direction of the intervention glove 1. According to the invention, the closure system additionally has a slide fastener 8 which, in a known manner, has a handle 9, with which the slide fastener 8 can be opened. In a known manner, the slide fastener 8 has two straps that are guided together at a closed end 10a. The opposite open end 10b of the slide fastener 8 can be closed with the puller 9.

In order that the forearm of a person wearing the intervention glove 1 is not exposed when the slide fastener 8 is open, an insert 11 covering the open area is located below the slide fastener 8.

According to the invention, the handle 9 is coupled to the strip 5 by coupling means. The coupling means, in this case, consists of a strap 12 which, with another end on the longitudinal side, is fixed on a handle holding element 13, on the handle 9 of the zip fastener 8. The strap 12 is flexible , with a flat body that can be bent, where however the tape 12 is not elastic in the longitudinal direction. Preferably, the belt 12 is made of a textile material.

The handle 9 is coupled to the strip 5 in terms of movement, by means of the tape 12. According to the invention, the coupling is designed in such a way that in the event of a closing movement of the strip 5 (i.e. in the case of a guiding of the mechanical closure means 6 towards the corresponding mechanical closure means 7), the rack closure 8 closes by itself, and in such a way that in the event of an opening movement of the strap (i.e. moving away the mechanical closing means 6 of the corresponding mechanical closing means 7), the zipper 8 opens by itself.

This is achieved by proper sizing of the length of the zipper 8, as well as proper orientation of the zipper 8 on the back of the cuff 4. This is illustrated in Figures 1 and 2.

First of all it is essential that the zipper 8 is located between the place of fixing of the strip 5 and the place of fixing of the corresponding mechanical closing means 7.

Furthermore, it is essential that the longitudinal axis of the slide fastener 8 extends obliquely with respect to the longitudinal direction. In this way, the angle of inclination a of the longitudinal axis of the zip closure 8, with respect to the longitudinal direction of the intervention glove 1, is in the range 0 < to < 90°, that is to say that the longitudinal axis of the closure zipper 8 does not extend obliquely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the intervention glove 1, but also obliquely with respect to the transverse direction in which the strip 5 extends when the mechanical closure is established.

Advantageously, the angle of inclination is in the range of 20° < to < 60°. In this case, the angle of inclination a is particularly advantageously between 35°| and 40°.

Furthermore, it is essential that the open end 10b of the slide fastener 8 faces more towards the edge of the neck 4 than its closed end 10a. In this case, the open end 10b of the zipper 8 ends at the edge of the neck 4, while the closed end 10a of the zipper 8 is located in the area of the neck 4 facing the body of the glove 2. Thus , the closed end 10a of the zipper 8 is located closer to the fastening of the strap 5 on the intervention glove 1 than the open end 10b.

By such conformation and disposition of the slide fastener 8 relative to the strip 5, the slide fastener 8 is actuated, and opens and closes itself by opening and closing the strip 5.

In the arrangement according to figure 1, the mechanical closure means 6 is separated from the corresponding mechanical closure means 7, by a distance from the strip 5, due to which the slide fastener 8 is open.

In the arrangement according to figure 2, the strip 5 with the mechanical closure means 6 is guided precisely in the direction of the corresponding mechanical closure means 7, so that the slide fastener 8 moves in the direction of the closing position. .

As soon as the strap 5 is placed in its closing position and the Velcro fasteners are placed next to the mechanical fastener, the zipper 8 is completely closed, due to which the cuff 4 is narrowed over the entire length of the zipper. zipper 8. The mechanical closure contributes to the narrowing and is located protecting the zipper closure 8.

In that state, the cuff 4 of the intervention glove 1 can easily be inserted into a sleeve of an intervention jacket. A person who wears the intervention jacket and the intervention gloves 1 is thus well protected against environmental influences, since between the intervention gloves 1 and the intervention jacket no liquids or hazardous substances can penetrate.
