Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a glove maintaining high vibration-proofing function with improving operationability of a machine. <P>SOLUTION: In the glove 1 used in operating a vibration-generating machine, two or more vibration-proof materials 10 are attached on its palm side and a through hole 10h is formed to pass through in the thickness direction. By forming the through-hole 10h, the vibration proof materials 10 can be deformed not only in the thickness direction and the outward direction but toward the through-hole 10h, therefore, flexibility of the vibration proof materials 10 are improved and vibration absorbing properties are also improved. In addition, fingers are smoothly moved when the vibration absorbing properties are further improved by thickening the width of the vibration proof material 10, therefore, good operability is maintained. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to a glove. The present invention relates to a glove used to reduce vibration applied to an operator when working using a machine that generates vibration, such as a chain saw, a rock drill, or an electric tool.

Conventional examples 1 to 8 (Patent Documents 1 to 8) have been developed as gloves for reducing vibration applied to an operator from a machine that generates vibration.
Such a glove is provided with an anti-vibration material made of, for example, an air layer, rubber, urethane foam or the like on the palm side portion, and vibrations can be absorbed by the air layer or the anti-vibration material.

However, in the gloves of Conventional Examples 1 to 8, since the vibration absorption depends on the properties of the vibration isolation material itself, the only way to improve the vibration absorption is to increase the thickness of the vibration isolation material.
However, when the thickness of the vibration isolator is increased, the vibration absorption can be improved, but the flexibility of the vibration isolator is lowered and the operability is deteriorated.
Therefore, a glove equipped with a vibration isolating material that can exhibit sufficient vibration isolating performance while satisfying the operability of the machine is very difficult to manufacture, and no glove that satisfies the above conditions has been found so far.

  In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a glove that can maintain high vibration isolation performance while improving the operability of the machine.

The glove of the first invention is a glove used during the operation of a machine that generates vibration, and the glove is provided with a vibration isolating material on the palm side thereof, and the vibration isolating material has a thickness direction. A through-hole penetrating through is formed.
The glove of the second invention is characterized in that, in the first invention, the area of the through hole provided in the vibration isolator is 5 to 20% of the area of the vibration isolator.
The glove of the third invention is characterized in that, in the first invention, the material of the vibration-proof material is neoprene rubber.

According to the first invention, by forming the through hole, the vibration isolator is not only deformed in the thickness direction and outward, but also deformed toward the through hole, in other words, the through hole is enlarged or reduced. Therefore, it is possible to improve the flexibility of the vibration-proof material and to improve the vibration absorption. Further, even if the vibration isolator is made thicker to further improve the vibration absorption, it is possible to smoothly move the finger and the like, and thus it is possible to ensure good operability.
According to the 2nd invention, it can be set as the glove which considered both the vibration absorption and workability | operativity by keeping the area of a through-hole optimal.
According to the third invention, since the flexibility is high, it is possible to smoothly move a finger or the like even if the vibration absorbing material is further increased by thickening the material of the vibration isolating material, so that it is possible to ensure good operability. it can.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The glove of the present invention is a glove used to reduce vibration applied to an operator when working using a machine that generates vibration such as a chainsaw, a rock drill, an electric tool, etc. The vibration-absorbing property is improved by providing a vibration-proof material on the side.
The glove of the present invention is used when working with the above-mentioned machine. Hereinafter, a glove suitable for work with a chain saw will be described as a representative.

In FIG. 1A, reference numeral 1A indicates a right hand glove 1A of the glove 1 of the present embodiment. In the right hand glove 1A, the member 3 forming the palm side is formed of a material that is not slippery and has excellent wear properties, such as leather, artificial leather, rubber, and urethane resin. In this right hand glove 1 </ b> A, a lining 4 is provided on the inner surface of the palm-side member 3, and a plurality of vibration isolating materials 10 are attached between the lining 4 and the palm-side member 3. Yes. Each anti-vibration material 10 is formed of a member having the ability to absorb vibration, such as neoprene rubber, silicon rubber, urethane foam, and the like, and in the right hand glove 1A, at the position of its palm and all fingers. And is sewn to the palm-side member 3. In FIG. 1, a broken line 3 h indicates a seam in which the vibration isolator 10 is sewn to the palm-side member 3.
Each vibration isolator 10 is provided with a through-hole 10h having a diameter of about 5 to 8 mm, penetrating in the thickness direction.

As described above, the glove 1 according to the present embodiment forms each through-hole 10h penetrating in the thickness direction in each anti-vibration material 10 so that each anti-vibration material 10 is directed in the thickness direction and outward. Not only the deformation but also the deformation toward the through hole 10h side, in other words, the through hole 10h can be deformed so as to be enlarged or reduced. For this reason, the flexibility of each vibration isolator 10 can be improved. In addition, since the air layer inside the through-hole 10h of each vibration isolator 10 also exhibits vibration absorption, the vibration absorption by each vibration isolator 10 can be further improved.
Further, if the material of each vibration isolator 10 is made thicker, the vibration absorption can be further improved. On the other hand, there is a possibility that the vibration isolator 10 may become a resistance to move a finger or palm. Since the flexibility of each anti-vibration material 10 is improved by forming 10h, even if the material of each anti-vibration material 10 is thickened, a finger or the like can be moved smoothly. Therefore, the fall of operativity by providing the vibration isolator 10 can be prevented, and favorable operativity can be ensured. In particular, when neoprene rubber is used as the material of the vibration isolator 10, the flexibility is high, which is preferable.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the vibration isolator 10 is sewn to the palm-side member 3 so that the seam is located at the joint of each finger or the part where the palm bends. The thickness of the vibration isolator 10 in the part where the palm bends can be reduced. Then, when the finger or palm is moved, the vibration isolator 10 does not become a resistance, so that the finger or the like is easy to move, and it is possible to prevent a decrease in operability due to the provision of the vibration isolator 10, and good operability is achieved. Can be secured.
As shown in FIG. 2 (A), if the vibration isolator 10 is finely divided so that the vibration isolator 10 is located only at positions excluding the joints of each finger and the bent part of the palm, The operability can be further improved.

In addition, in each vibration isolator 10, if the total area of the cross-sectional areas of the through holes 10h provided in each vibration isolator 10 is 5 to 20% of the area of each vibration isolator 10, the vibration isolator Therefore, the glove 1 having excellent flexibility and vibration absorbing performance can be obtained.
In addition, the total area of the cross-sectional areas of the through holes 10h in each vibration isolator 10 is not limited to the above range, but if it is 5% or less, the operability is deteriorated due to a decrease in flexibility, and is 20% or more. Then, the concavo-convex shape of the palm formed by the through-hole 10h becomes large, and the operability is deteriorated. Therefore, the total area of the cross-sectional areas of the through holes 10h in each vibration isolator 10 is preferably 5 to 20%, more preferably 7 to 13%, and most preferably around 10%.
Furthermore, the size and arrangement of the through holes 10h in each vibration isolator 10 can keep the total area of the cross-sectional areas of the through holes 10h in each vibration isolator 10 from 5 to 20%. The size and the position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are not limited as long as the properties and vibration absorbing properties can be maintained optimally.

As shown in FIG. 2 (B), the left-hand glove 1B has a structure substantially equivalent to that of the right-hand glove 1A, but the right-hand glove 1A has the right index finger part closer to the distal side than the second joint. The anti-vibration material 10 is not provided, whereas the left-hand glove 1B is provided with the anti-vibration material 10 in that portion. This is because the left hand index finger does not have such a role, while the right hand index finger requires a sensitive sensation to operate the chainsaw throttle.
Furthermore, the position where the anti-vibration material 10 is not provided is not limited to the above-described position or the like as long as an optimal position or the like is selected according to the machine used with the gloves 1 attached.

  The glove of the present invention is suitable for work using a machine that generates vibration, such as a chain saw, a rock drill, or an electric tool.
