Description

  The present invention relates to a mittens type glove worn for work exposed to cold air.

Gloves are indispensable for operations exposed to cold, such as motorbikes and bicycles, heavy machinery such as forklifts and bulldozers, freezer operations and marine operations. For this reason, a cold glove using a rubber-based member having high airtightness has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).
However, five-finger type gloves are easy to work because each finger bag moves independently according to the movement of the fingers, but each fingertip becomes cold or painful under the influence of cold air. There is.
Therefore, in order to make it less susceptible to the effects of cold air, when worn on top of a 5-finger glove made of cotton or wool, the crotch of the finger is spread by the finger bag of each glove, so it can be used for a long time. If you do this, the finger will remain tired, but the coldness of the fingertips will not be improved so much.
Mitten-type gloves, on the other hand, have four fingers in one finger bag, and each finger contained in the finger bag is warmed by body temperature, so it has better heat retention than five-finger gloves. On the other hand, when grasping an object, even if the finger is moved, the finger bag does not follow the movement of the finger, and the workability is poor.
Therefore, in order to take advantage of the mittens type gloves and improve the shortcomings, a method of providing a partition between the part where the index finger is inserted and the part where the other finger is inserted inside the finger pouch for inserting four fingers (patented) Document 2) and a method of providing four finger bags for inserting each finger inside a finger bag for inserting four fingers (see Patent Document 3) have been proposed.
Furthermore, in order to take advantage of the workability that is the advantage of a five-finger type glove and the heat retention that is the advantage of a mittens type glove, a storage bag is provided on the back side of the five-finger type glove. A mittens-type cover (over mittens) is housed so that the advantages of both can be used together (see Patent Document 4).

However, when working mainly on gripping things using mittens type gloves, there is little need for a finger bag containing four fingers to follow the movement of each finger. Providing a finger bag for each finger inside the finger bag of a mold glove or providing a partition reduces the heat retention effect, which is an advantage of mittens type gloves. Moreover, even if it is a mittens type glove, if a heat insulating material is added in order to improve heat retention, the glove becomes thick and grip power is reduced, and workability is further lowered.
In view of the above circumstances, the present invention has excellent heat retaining properties to be mounted when performing work exposed to cold, such as driving a motorcycle or bicycle, driving / operating a forklift or an agricultural machine, working in a freezer or working at sea. The aim is to provide light and thin gloves.

The mittens type glove of the present invention includes a first finger bag for storing the thumb of the hand and a second finger bag for collectively storing four fingers other than the thumb, and an elastic member having airtightness. In the formed mittens type glove, the four fingers accommodated in the second finger bag are subjected to pressure in the finger width direction intersecting the fingertip direction from the second finger bag.
As described above, when four fingers are received in the second finger bag formed of the airtight elastic member, the four fingers received in the second finger bag receive pressure in the finger width direction. The four fingers are in close contact with each other. As a result, even if the finger pouch is exposed to cold air, the four fingers warm up at body temperature so that the fingertips do not cool. In addition, the finger bag has good followability when grasping an object, and the grip force is almost the same as when bare hands.
Here, when the four fingers are accommodated, the second finger pouch has four inner dimensions in the finger width direction at a predetermined position in the fingertip direction and accommodated in the second finger pouch. The finger may receive pressure in the finger width direction.
Thus, even if the four fingers housed in the second finger bag are not subjected to pressure over the entire fingertip direction, if the pressure is set to be received at a predetermined position in the fingertip direction, 4 The fingers are in close contact with each other.
Moreover, it is also a preferable aspect that the inner dimension in the finger width direction before the four fingers are accommodated in the second finger bag is smaller as the position in the fingertip direction is closer to the fingertip.
In this way, if the inner dimension in the finger width direction of the second finger bag is smaller as the position is closer to the fingertip, the gap between the four fingers and the finger bag is minimized, so the body temperature between the four fingers can be reduced. The four fingertips will never cool down.
Here, a mouth portion for inserting a wrist is provided, and the mouth portion has a cut portion from the opening edge toward the center of the second bag portion, and one section of the cut portion has the other portion It is also preferable that a tongue piece that engages with the section is extended, and the mouth portion has surface fasteners attached to both the other section and the tongue piece, and the surface fasteners are mutually connected. It is also preferable to be fixed to the wrist by engaging.
In this way, if the cut portion is provided in the mouth portion, and the tongue piece provided in one section of the cut portion is engaged with the other section by a hook-and-loop fastener or the like, the mouth portion is firmly attached to the wrist. It is fixed and the gloves are not removed.

The mittens gloves of the present invention have sufficient heat retention even when used for work exposed to cold, such as outdoor work such as driving a motorcycle or bicycle, driving a forklift or agricultural machinery, working at sea, or working in a freezer. Grip power is obtained, and it will not get tired even if used for a long time.

Below, embodiment of the mittens type | mold glove of this invention is described.
FIG. 1 is an external view showing an embodiment of the mittens type glove of the present invention.
The mittens glove 1 of this embodiment shown in FIG. 1 includes a first finger bag 10 that accommodates the thumb of the hand, a second finger bag 20 that collectively accommodates four fingers other than the thumb, and a wrist. A mouth portion 30 to be inserted.
When four fingers are accommodated in the second finger pouch 20, it is expanded in the finger width direction (arrow B direction) orthogonal to the fingertip direction (arrow A direction), and the dimension of the finger width inside the second finger pouch 20 ( (Corresponding to the inner dimension of the present invention) becomes larger. And the four fingers accommodated in the second finger pouch 20 receive pressure from the second finger pouch 20 expanded in the B direction, so that the contained fingers are closely attached to each other.
In addition, on the back side of the hand of the mouth portion 30 of the present embodiment, there is a cut portion 32 from the opening edge 31 toward the center of the second finger bag 20, and one cut 33 of the cut portion 32 is provided on one section 33. A tongue piece 35 that engages with the other piece 34 is extended. Moreover, since the surface fastener 40 is affixed to the surface of the other piece 34 and the back surface (not shown in the figure) of the tongue piece 35, the surface fastener 40 affixed to the surface of the other piece 34 is provided. And the hook-and-loop fastener (not shown in the figure) attached to the back surface of the tongue piece 35, the mouth 30 is firmly fixed to the wrist, and the mittens glove 1 is not detached.
Here, the mittens type glove 1 of the present embodiment is a palm-side member obtained by punching out a rubber sheet having weather resistance, wear resistance, heat resistance, and elasticity such as natural rubber, isoprene rubber, butadiene rubber, and chloroprene rubber. The back side member of the hand is formed, and both the palm side member and the back side member of the hand are stitched together, or may be prepared by applying heat and adhering with an adhesive, or a glove mold prepared in advance in rubber latex. It may be produced by a method of immersing and integrally forming, and is not limited to a production method and a material. In addition, both the back side member and the palm side member may be a rubber sheet single layer, and the palm side member is a two-layer structure in which urethane rubber, polyamide fiber, etc. excellent in mechanical strength are adhered to the outer surface of the rubber sheet. It may be. Furthermore, you may stick mesh-like fibers, such as cotton or hair, to the rubber sheet inner surface of the back side member and the palm side member.
Thus, if the mittens type | mold glove 1 is formed with the elastic member which has airtightness, while air | atmosphere will be interrupted | blocked and it will be expanded in the finger | toe width direction when four fingers are put in the 2nd finger bag. The internal dimensions are easily increased according to the finger width. If formed with chloroprene rubber, a glove having a good balance of mechanical strength, weather resistance, heat resistance, cold resistance and the like can be obtained.
In addition, if the palm side member is a two-layer structure with urethane rubber, polyamide fiber, etc. with excellent mechanical strength attached to the outer surface of the rubber sheet, even if it is used for operations that often grip objects, There is little risk of damage to the palm side of the palm, and if a mesh fiber such as cotton or wool is attached to the inner surface of the rubber sheet, the fingertips do not come into direct contact with the rubber sheet. The heat-retaining effect is further enhanced.
The mouth portion 30 of the present embodiment is provided with a cut portion 32 on the back side of the hand and a tongue piece 35 extending to one section 33 of the cut portion. 34 and the tongue piece 35 are engaged to prevent the mittens-type glove 1 from coming off. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited to this method. It may be fixed to the wrist with an elastic force so that it does not come off. Moreover, when integrally molding by the immersion method, the mittens type | mold glove 1 may be prevented from removing by not providing the notch part 32 and adjusting the opening of the mouth part 30 according to a wrist.

FIG. 2 is a view showing the palm side of the mittens-type glove before the four fingers are accommodated in the second finger bag, and FIG. 3 is the mittens after the four fingers are accommodated in the second finger bag. It is a figure which shows the palm side of a type glove.
2 and 3, the fingertip direction (arrow A direction) in which the four fingers are accommodated in the second finger pouch 20 is taken as the Y axis, the distance from the opening edge 31 of the mouth 30 is y, and the second The dimension of the finger width of the four fingers at the position of the distance y inside the finger bag 20 (inner dimension of the present invention) is w.
In FIG. 2, points P1 and P2 on the Y-axis correspond to arbitrary positions in the fingertip direction (arrow A direction) where four fingers enter the second finger bag 20 of the mittens type glove 1 of the present embodiment, The distances from the opening edge 31 of the mouth portion 30 to those positions are y1 and y2, respectively, and the internal dimensions of the four fingers in the second finger bag 20 are w1 and w2, respectively. Now, there is a relationship of y1 <y2 between y1 and y2, and if there is a relationship of w1> w2 between the corresponding w1 and w2, it is at an arbitrary position in the fingertip direction (arrow A direction). It can be said that the inner dimension is smaller the closer to the fingertip.
In this way, if the inner dimension of the second finger bag is smaller as the position is closer to the fingertip, the gap between the four fingers and the finger bag in the second finger bag is minimized, so Heats up quickly and does not cool your fingertips.
In FIG. 3, the position corresponding to the predetermined position in the fingertip direction of the present invention is a point P1 on the Y axis, and if the inner dimension at that time is w11, w11 is the inner dimension w1 of the point P1 shown in FIG. (W11> w1). That is, the inner dimension in the finger width direction (arrow B direction) at the predetermined position (P1) in the fingertip direction is expanded by the four fingers accommodated in the second finger bag, and the four fingers accommodated in the second finger bag 20 The fingers receive the pressure F from the second finger bag 20 and the fingers are in a state of being closely attached to each other. As a result, even if the finger pouch is exposed to cold air, the four fingers warm each other at body temperature and the fingertips do not cool. In addition, the finger bag has good followability when moving a finger, and the gripping force when grasping an object is almost the same as when bare hands.

FIG. 4 is a view showing, as an example, a state in which the mittens-type gloves of the present embodiment are worn and a motorcycle handle is gripped, and FIG. 5 is a motorcycle handle with a conventional five-finger glove. It is a figure which shows the state which grasped as a comparative example.
In FIG. 5, when driving a motorcycle while wearing a conventional five-finger type glove, the motorcycle grip 50 with the thumb a down, the index finger b, the middle finger c, the ring finger d, and the little finger e up. Hold. At that time, the thumb a, forefinger b, middle finger c, ring finger d, and little finger e are individually exposed to the outside air, so that the body temperature of each finger is rapidly deprived and the fingertip gets cold. Further, even if a heater is contained in the grip 50, the heat of the heater is easily transmitted to the palm but is not easily transmitted to each finger.
In FIG. 4, when driving a motorcycle while wearing the mittens-type gloves 1 of this embodiment, the thumb a is down, the index finger b, the middle finger c, the ring finger d, and the little finger e are up as in FIG. Hold the bike grip 50. However, the index finger b, the middle finger c, the ring finger d, and the little finger e are closely attached to the single second finger bag 20 so that the second finger bag 20 is exposed to the outside air. However, the contact surface between the second finger bag 20 and each finger is smaller than in the case of FIG. 4, and each finger is quickly warmed by the mutual body temperature to exhibit a kind of greenhouse effect, and the fingertip is cooled. There is nothing. Further, when the heater is contained in the grip 50, the heat of the heater is entirely warmed through the second finger bag 20, so that the entire hand including the fingertip is rapidly warmed.
The mittens type glove of the present embodiment is formed of an airtight elastic member, and the fingers accommodated in the second finger pouch 20 into which four fingers enter each other are closely attached to each other. The heat-retaining effect is high, and the gloves themselves can be made thin and light. For this reason, it is possible to hold an object in a state where it is hardly different from bare hands. In addition, by changing the thickness and material of the elastic member, mittens type gloves for inner and outer can be created, and depending on the application, the outer can be worn on top of each other or can be worn alone. .
