Description

  The present invention relates to a sports glove, and more particularly to a sports glove excellent in grip strength, fit, palm protection, moisture absorption, breathability and durability.

  Conventionally, various sports gloves such as leather, artificial leather, and cloth have been proposed and put to practical use as sports gloves used when playing sports such as golf and baseball (for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3). reference).

By the way, as a function required for such sports gloves, for example, golf gloves, (a) a golf club can be securely gripped, (b) a good fit and fine control of the golf club can be achieved. c) The palm part can be protected from friction generated during swinging, (d) it does not sweat even if it is worn for a long time, and (e) it has durability that is difficult to tear even if used for a long time.
Among these, for example, in order to improve the gripping force of (a), the solution can be achieved by arranging a polymer elastic body on the palm portion that holds the golf club, and in order to improve the fit of (b) In order to improve the protection of the palm of (c) and the durability of (e), it is possible to solve the problem by using thin leather as the material of the glove. The problem is solved by using a material, or by placing a reinforcing material on the palm or gripping part of the golf club where durability is required, so that it does not sweat even when worn for a long time. In order to solve this problem, the use of a breathable mesh material as a glove material or the formation of a small hole for ventilation has made it possible to solve this problem, and such golf gloves are actually manufactured and sold. .

However, for example, the grip force of (a) is improved, the fit feeling of (b) is improved, and the palm part protection of (c) and the durability of (e) are improved. This is a request that is mutually contradictory, and none of the above-mentioned golf gloves have all the functions (a) to (e) that can be actually used.
Further, conventional golf gloves are weak against rain and water, and are difficult to wash.

  In view of the problems of sports gloves such as the above-mentioned conventional golf gloves, the present invention is required for sports gloves, grip strength, fit, palm protection, moisture absorption, breathability, durability. In addition, the object is to provide sports gloves that are both rain and water resistant and washable.

In order to achieve the above object, the sports glove of the present invention is obtained by cutting a knitted fabric knitted using an ultrafine fiber multifilament having a single yarn fineness of 0.02 to 0.08 dtex as it is into a predetermined shape and sewing it. Then, it is characterized by being subjected to water repellent finish.
Here, “slicing the knitted fabric into a predetermined shape as it is” means, for example, that a polymer elastic body is not disposed on the palm of a sports glove in order to improve the grip force. To do.

  In this case, an ultrafine fiber multifilament having a total fineness of 20 to 100 dtex can be used.

  Moreover, the knitted fabric which gave the raising process can be used.

  Further, the water-repellent processing can be performed by immersing the sewn glove in a processing bath containing a processing liquid containing a water-repellent agent.

  According to the sports glove of the present invention, a knitted fabric knitted using an ultrafine fiber multifilament having a single yarn fineness of 0.02 to 0.08 dtex is cut into a predetermined shape as it is, and then sewn. By processing, it has all the grip, fit, palm protection, moisture absorption, breathability and durability required for sports gloves, and it is also resistant to rain and water and can be washed Sports gloves can be obtained.

  In addition, by using ultrafine fiber multifilament with a total fineness of 20 to 100 dtex, the grip strength, fit, palm protection, moisture absorption, breathability and durability required for sports gloves are further improved. be able to.

  In addition, by using a knitted fabric that has been subjected to raising, it is possible to further improve the gripping force and to improve the design by giving a texture like a back skin.

  In addition, the water-repellent treatment is performed by immersing the sewn glove in a treatment bath containing a treatment liquid containing a water-repellent agent, so that the water-repellent agent is efficiently applied to the entire glove including the sewing portion. In addition, it is possible to obtain a sports glove that can be reliably distributed and has high water repellency.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of a sport glove of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a golf glove 1 as an embodiment of the sport glove of the present invention.
In this golf glove 1, a knitted fabric knitted using an ultrafine fiber multifilament is provided with a polymer elastic body at the palm of the glove in order to improve the grip force generally used in conventional golf gloves. Without performing such a process, it is cut into a predetermined shape and sewed as it is, and then subjected to water repellent finish.

In this case, as the ultrafine fiber multifilament constituting the knitted fabric, an ultrafine fiber multifilament having a single yarn fineness of 0.02 to 0.08 dtex and a total fineness of 20 to 100 dtex is used.
Here, when the single yarn fineness is 0.02 dtex and the total fineness is less than 20 dtex, the protection and durability of the palm part are reduced, and when the single yarn fineness is 0.08 dtex and the total fineness exceeds 100 dtex, The fit is reduced.

  As the ultrafine fiber multifilament constituting the knitted fabric, a split fiber or a sea-island fiber, which is made of polyester, polyamide, polyolefin, polyester and polyamide, polyester and polyolefin, polyamide and polyolefin, or the like can be used.

  The knitting structure of the knitted fabric may be any of a flat knitting structure knitted by a weft knitting machine, a circular knitting machine or the like, or a warp knitting structure knitted by a tricot machine, a Milanese machine, a Russell machine or the like.

Then, by knitting using ultrafine fiber multifilament, a knitted fabric having a thickness of about 0.2 to 2.0 mm, preferably about 0.5 to 1.0 mm is knitted.
Here, when the thickness of the knitted fabric is less than 0.2 mm, the protection and durability of the palm part are lowered, and when it exceeds 2.0 mm, the fit feeling is lowered.

The water-repellent processing is performed by immersing the sewn glove in a treatment bath containing a treatment liquid containing a water repellent, or by spraying a treatment liquid containing a water repellent on the sewn glove. You can also.
In this case, in particular, by immersing the sewn glove in a treatment bath containing a treatment liquid containing a water repellent, the water repellent is applied to the glove including the sewing portion (sewing thread or needle hole). Overall, it is possible to efficiently and surely spread the sport gloves with high water repellency.

The treatment liquid used for the water repellent process can be a process liquid conventionally used for the water repellent process. As the water repellent, a fluorine compound, a silicone compound, a hydrocarbon compound, or a combination thereof. The compound can be suitably used, and these compounds are usually used as a water-based emulsion by blending a self-emulsified body or an emulsifier.
Here, although not particularly limited, as the fluorine compound, a fluorine compound containing a polyfluoroalkyl group in the chemical structure, and as the silicone compound, a compound having a siloxane bond in the chemical structure, As the hydrocarbon compound, a compound having a long-chain alkyl group in the chemical structure can be used.

  In the treatment liquid used for water repellent processing, additives such as cationic, nonionic, amphoteric surfactants, penetrants such as organic solvents that are soluble in water in an aqueous medium (for example, as necessary) Fastness improver, antifoaming agent, chelating agent, leveling agent, stabilizer, etc.) can be added as appropriate.

The water repellent finish is performed at a treatment temperature of 5 ° C to 100 ° C, preferably 30 ° C to 60 ° C.
When the treatment temperature is too low, the amount of treatment liquid adsorbed on the fiber is small, and sufficient water repellency is difficult to obtain.
On the other hand, when the treatment temperature is too high, the fastness of the fiber is lowered and the water repellent agent is non-uniformly adhered to the fiber, making it difficult to exhibit uniform water repellency.

Here, as described above, the knitted fabric is not subjected to a treatment such as placing a polymer elastic body on the palm of the glove in order to improve the grip force widely used in conventional golf gloves. However, brushing can be performed as necessary.
By using the knitted fabric which has been subjected to raising, it is possible to further improve the gripping force and to improve the design by giving a texture like a back skin.
In this case, raising can be carried out by running the knitted fabric in an expanded form, fuzzing by pressing a roll with sandpaper on the surface and roughening it (emery raising method), or planting many fine needles. For example, a method of applying a cloth to the fabric and hooking the fiber with the needle and fluffing it (needle raising method) can be used.

  The golf glove 1 is provided with a cut in the fingertip direction from the hand insertion portion side of the back of the hand, and a flap 11 is provided so as to straddle the cut as in the conventional golf glove. One side of the hook-and-loop fastener is fixed to the back surface of the flap 11, and the other surface of the hook-and-loop fastener is fixed to the corresponding surface of the back of the hand so that the wrist portion of the hand inserted into the golf glove 1 can be tightened. It has become.

  In this golf glove 1, a knitted fabric knitted using an ultrafine fiber multifilament is provided with a polymer elastic body at the palm of the glove in order to improve the grip force generally used in conventional golf gloves. Without being processed, it is cut into a predetermined shape and sewed as it is, and then subjected to water repellent treatment, so the grip strength, fit, It has all of protection, hygroscopicity, breathability and durability, and it is resistant to rain and water and can be washed.

  As described above, the sports gloves of the present invention have been described based on the embodiments thereof, but the present invention is not limited to the configurations described in the above embodiments, and the configuration is appropriately changed without departing from the gist thereof. Is something that can be done.

  The sports gloves of the present invention have all of grip strength, fit, palm protection, moisture absorption, breathability and durability, and are resistant to rain and water, and can be washed.
