Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to gloves, and more particularly to gloves used as nursing care products used when a caregiver cleans the body of a cared person such as a sick person.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, the care of a sick person or a bedridden elderly person requires a great deal of labor, and there is a time and physical limit to the care of a family member.

[0003] For this reason, the number of professional caregivers and volunteers who provide care is gradually increasing.
It is far less than the absolute number of sick and elderly people who need care.

[0004] Since such a situation is a kind of social problem, in recent years, training of specialized caregivers has been required, and nursing care products have been actively developed.

[0005]

When such a caregiver provides care, washing the body of the care recipient such as the sick is performed as one of the care tasks. Is carried out by immersion, so that there is a risk that the pathogen will infect the caregiver.

[0006] Such a risk of infection is of course not only when family members or caregivers of volunteer activities perform this work,
Even if a specialized caregiver provides care, it cannot be avoided.

In order to solve such a problem, it is conceivable to wash the body of the care receiver by wearing gloves, for example.

[0008] However, when the body of the care receiver is washed, if the body suffers from pain or discomfort, it has an adverse effect.

[0009] Further, it is not preferable to reuse gloves once used from the viewpoint of prevention of infection with pathogenic bacteria. Therefore, if gloves are used, they should be thrown away.

As described above, gloves which do not cause pain or discomfort to the body and which are suitable for disposable use do not exist in gloves currently used for other purposes.
It is difficult to use existing gloves.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and is intended for use by a caregiver without causing any pain or discomfort in the body of a care recipient such as a sick person. It is an object of the present invention to provide an entirely new glove that can be used and can prevent a pathogen from infecting a caregiver, and is suitable for disposable use.

[0012]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in order to solve such a problem, and the means for solving the problem is that the palm-side sheet 2 of the glove body 1 includes a synthetic resin layer 6. And the nonwoven fabric layer 7 provided on the outer surface side of the synthetic resin layer 6, and the back sheet 3 is formed of a synthetic resin layer.

The nonwoven fabric layer 6 is provided on the outer surface side of the synthetic resin layer by, for example, lamination.

[0014]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a glove body.
The palm-side sheet 2 and the back-side sheet 3 are welded together at the peripheral edge portion 4.

The palm-side sheet 2 is formed by laminating a non-woven fabric layer 7 on the outer surface side of a polyethylene layer 6.

As the nonwoven fabric constituting the nonwoven fabric layer 7, Lanseal F (registered trademark), which is a super-absorbent fiber, is used.

The back sheet 3 is made of a single layer of polyethylene.

An extension piece 8 made of a synthetic resin film is attached to the lower end of the palm-side sheet 2 by welding, and the back sheet 3 is provided so as to extend so as to face the extension piece 8. .

The side edges of the back sheet 3 and the extension piece 8 are also welded, and an opening 5 is formed at the lower end of both.

[0021] Such gloves are used, for example, when a caregiver cleans the body of a cared person such as a sick person.

Specifically, the caregiver cleans the cared person's body using soap and washing water while wearing the gloves as described above.

In this case, since the nonwoven fabric layer 7 having excellent water permeability is provided on the outer surface side of the palm-side sheet 2 of the glove body 1, the washing water is moderately absorbed by the nonwoven fabric layer 7. Can wash the body of the care receiver while wearing the gloves.

In particular, the non-woven fabric layer 7 of the palm-side sheet 2 of the glove worn by the caregiver is in direct contact with the body of the care receiver.
Therefore, the cared person's skin does not feel pain or discomfort.

The suitability to the skin is further improved by using Lanseal F (registered trademark), which is a super absorbent fiber as described above, as the nonwoven fabric layer 7.
In addition, by using the Lanseal F (registered trademark) as the nonwoven fabric layer 7, the effect of absorbing the washing water is improved.

Also, since the polyethylene layer 6 is provided on the inner side of the palm-side sheet 2 of the glove body 1, the polyethylene layer 6 prevents the washing water absorbed by the nonwoven fabric layer 7 from penetrating into the hands. Will be done.

Furthermore, since the back sheet 3 of the glove body 1 is formed of a single layer of polyethylene, the penetration of the washing water from the back of the hand is also prevented.

Furthermore, since such a polyethylene layer is provided on both the palm-side sheet 2 and the back-side sheet 3 of the glove main body 1, pathogens and the like do not infect the caregiver's hands.

Therefore, when the caregiver cleans the cared person with such gloves, the cared person can be washed while giving a contact feeling suitable for the cared person's skin, and can cause pain, discomfort and the like. In addition, the pathogen does not infect the caregiver's hands, and the caregivers' hands are not sticky.

In the above embodiment, the palm side sheet 2 is formed by laminating the polyethylene layer 7 on the inner surface side of the nonwoven fabric layer 6, but the configuration of the palm side sheet 2 is not limited to this. .

For example, as a material to be laminated on the nonwoven fabric layer 6, polypropylene can be used instead of polyethylene.

Further, in the above embodiment, the back sheet 3
Is composed of a single layer of polyethylene, but may be a single layer of polypropylene.

The configuration of the back sheet 3 is not limited to the embodiment.

As described above, the present invention is intended mainly for use by caregivers as gloves for nursing care of the body of a cared person. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be used for other purposes.

[0035]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the nonwoven fabric layer having excellent water permeability is provided on the outer surface side of the palm-side sheet of the glove body, washing water is moderately absorbed by the nonwoven fabric layer, Therefore, the caregiver can clean the body of the care receiver while wearing the glove, and since the caregiver cleans the care receiver with such gloves, the caregiver is adapted to the skin of the care receiver. Washing can be performed while providing a sense of contact, and there is an effect that pain, discomfort, and the like are not felt.

Further, since the synthetic resin layer is provided on the inner side of the palm-side sheet of the glove body, the synthetic resin layer prevents the washing water absorbed by the nonwoven fabric layer from penetrating into the hands. Since the back sheet of the glove body is composed of a single layer of the synthetic resin layer, the penetration of the washing water from the back side of the hand is prevented. As a result, stickiness of the hand and the like are prevented.

Furthermore, since such a synthetic resin layer is provided on both the palm-side sheet and the back-side sheet of the glove body, there is an effect that pathogens and the like do not infect the caregiver's hands. .

Further, since the glove body is composed only of the nonwoven fabric and the synthetic resin layer, it is suitable for disposable use.
