Description

  The present invention relates to sports gloves such as golf gloves, baseball gloves, tennis gloves, and lacrosse gloves.

  When a golf club is gripped, the grip is gripped from the lower side with four fingers other than the thumb, the thumb is attached to the upper side of the grip, and both hands are twisted toward the thumb side so as to be gripped with force. At this time, golf gloves are often worn as an anti-slip or to relieve the impact transmitted to the hand when the ball is hit. Normally, right-handed people are left-handed and left-handed people are right-handed. Wearing.

Such golf gloves are generally configured by opening an elliptical cutout in the glove body and stitching the periphery of a thumb bag that accommodates the thumb in the cutout (see Patent Document 1).
JP 2002-302815 A

  By the way, in the golf glove described in Patent Document 1, since the entire circumference of the thumb bag is stitched to the glove body, rigidity is increased at the stitched portion, and the stretch of the fabric is inhibited. Therefore, the thumb becomes cramped especially when gripping. There is a difficulty that a suitable fit cannot be obtained.

  The same problem has been pointed out not only at the joint between the thumb part and the glove body but also at the joint between the pieces constituting the glove. In addition, a slit portion formed in the lateral direction is formed in the third joint portion of the finger of the hand at the notch portion formed in each piece, for example, the base end portion of each finger piece on the palm side. The horizontal band from the stretch fabric is stretched to prevent wrinkles from occurring in this part so that a suitable fit can be obtained. In the case of floating and overlap stitching (commonly referred to as picket stitching), about 1 mm is lifted from the cut surface of the material to the seam allowance, which causes a problem in fit when gripping the grip of the golf club.

  In the case of sewing, reverse stitching is performed in order to prevent thread fraying. However, there is a case where the reverse stitching touches the skin and causes a sense of incongruity. Furthermore, since golf gloves require advanced techniques as compared with general sewing techniques, problems have arisen in terms of quality, such as requiring skill.

  Such a problem has occurred not only in golf gloves but also in other sports gloves such as baseball gloves holding a bat and tennis or lacrosse gloves holding a racket.

  In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a sports glove that can maintain a moderate fit.

  In order to achieve the above object, the sports glove according to the present invention is such that at least a part of each piece constituting the glove and a notch formed in each piece is welded and joined by a stretchable fabric. It is characterized by that. According to the above configuration, since the joint portion of each piece constituting the glove is welded and joined by the stretchable fabric, the stretchability of the material constituting the glove can be utilized, and the feeling at the time of wearing can be improved. it can. In addition, by reducing the number of sewing locations (sewing area), it is possible to reduce the threading of the sewing thread on the hand skin, and to reduce discomfort during gripping. In addition, since welding does not require special processing techniques, stable operating power and quality can be expected.

  Here, each piece constituting the glove refers to a palm-side component piece, a back-side component piece, and a thumb bag component piece. A stop piece having a planar fastener provided on the back side also constitutes one of the constituent pieces. Each component piece may be either a single piece or a plurality of pieces.

  For example, a glove made of these constituent pieces includes a glove body and a thumb bag joined to a notch formed in the thumb portion of the glove body. In this case, at least a part of the joining portion of each piece constituting the glove body and the joining portion of the thumb piece and the notch constituting the thumb bag is welded and joined by the stretchable fabric.

  The material of each piece is not particularly limited as long as it is a material that can be welded to a stretchable fabric such as synthetic leather, artificial leather, and knit. As an example of welding processing, the following materials are bonded together. Synthetic leathers or artificial leathers, synthetic leathers and artificial leathers, synthetic leathers and knits, or artificial leathers and knits, and knits. Artificial leather imitates the appearance and structure of natural leather, and is made by impregnating polyurethane resin with fine ultrafine fibers such as polyester. Synthetic leather is formed by coating a polyurethane resin or the like on the surface of a fabric, or by forming a film on a release paper and attaching it to a base fabric.

  As a welding site | part, what is necessary is just at least one part of the joining site | part of each piece, or the notch part of each piece. For example, when joining the thumb piece constituting the thumb bag and the notch portion on the glove body side, at least one of the joint portion on the palm side and the back side of the joint portion is welded and joined by the stretchable fabric. . Of course, both joints on the palm side and the back side may be welded and joined with a stretchable fabric.

  Further, in sports gloves provided with a glove body and a thumb bag, the lower end of the notch extends to the lower end of the glove body, and the thumb bag has a part of the lower end thereof and the notch. Some have unjoined parts that are not joined. In the glove having such a configuration, at least a part of the joint part on the palm side and back side of the thumb piece is welded and joined by the stretchable fabric.

  According to the above configuration, since the lower end portion of the thumb bag has a non-joined portion that is not joined to the notch portion, the welding jig can be easily inserted from the insertion port of the glove body, and the welding process can be easily performed. it can. The welding process is performed by various methods such as thermal processing, high-frequency processing, and ultrasonic processing. For the welding process, in addition to melting and solidifying using hot melt, a method of melting and bonding the stretchable fabric or the material to be joined can be employed.

  The stretchable fabric has stretchability in at least one direction, preferably two vertical and horizontal directions, and more preferably four directions including an oblique direction. The degree of stretching may be equal to or greater than that of the two members to be joined. This is because if the degree of expansion / contraction is low, a tactile sensation occurs as in the case of sewing. The structure of the stretchable fabric may be any of woven fabric, non-woven fabric, and knitted fabric. The material is preferably polyurethane elastic fiber such as spandex. Further, the stretchable fabric is preferably excellent in performance (welding performance) for welding and joining by applying heat.

  Each piece joining portion to be welded may be either butted or superposed. In the case of butting, since the joint portion of each piece becomes flat, it is possible to increase the fit when gripping. Even when the pieces are overlapped, there is no need for a seam allowance such as sewing, and the seam allowance does not rise, so the fit is also good.

  The stretchable fabric may be in the form of a slice having an area enough to cover the notch or in the form of a tape. In the case where the pieces are brought into contact with each other and bonded, it is preferable from the viewpoint of welding workability and appearance that welding is performed from at least one side of the front side and the back side of the glove with a tape-like stretchable fabric.

  In addition, it stretches so as to straddle the notches formed in each piece that constitutes the glove like a stretchable fabric affixed to a window hole-shaped notch formed in the third joint part of the palm-side finger piece. When stretchable fabric is stretched, a configuration in which a piece of stretchable fabric is used and this is welded and joined to the periphery of the notch on the back side of the glove is preferable.

  By welding and joining from the back side, the appearance is good and the number of sewing parts is reduced, so that an appropriate fit can be obtained.

  In addition, as a welding process, a reinforcing piece can be thermally welded to the front surface side or the back surface side of the palm part of the glove body in combination with these, or it can be prevented from sliding with the glove. In this case, since the reinforcing piece is thermally welded, the sewing thread is not hit and an appropriate fit can be obtained as compared with the case where the reinforcing piece is sewn.

  Further, at least the back part of the surface fastener provided on the wrist side of the back part of the glove body for binding the glove attachment / detachment cut formed on the wrist side of the glove body and the back part of the glove body. Can be heat-welded to the back part.

  In the above configuration, by sewing the planar fasteners, there is no sewing portion, and an appropriate fit can be maintained.

  The present invention can be applied to seed-type sports gloves such as golf gloves, baseball gloves, tennis gloves, lacrosse gloves, and the like.

  According to the present invention, since each piece constituting the glove is welded and joined by the stretchable fabric without sewing with a thread as in the prior art, the stretchability of the stretchable fabric by the thread is not hindered, Stretch fabric's original elongation can be secured. In addition, the stretchability of the material constituting the glove can be utilized, and the feeling at the time of wearing can be improved.

  Hereinafter, golf gloves will be described as an example of sports gloves according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a front view of a golf glove as an embodiment of the present invention as viewed from the palm side, FIG. 2 is a rear view as viewed from the back side, FIG. 3A is a development view of the glove body, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a developed view of the thumb bag, FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the welded joint portion, and FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view showing a state where the stretchable fabric is welded to the window hole-shaped notch portion of the back part. Although the golf glove shown in the drawings is for the left hand, there is no substantial difference even if it is for the right hand.

  The golf glove of this embodiment is formed by joining a glove body 1 and a thumb bag 2 covering the vicinity of the base of the thumb.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the glove body 1 is a sheet of various fabrics such as leather and synthetic leather, with the back side portion 3 and palm side portion 4 being continuous at the finger side end portions 3b and 4b. The little finger side end portions 5 of the back side portion 3 and the palm side portion 4 are stitched together, and the other finger portions are stitched to form a glove shape. Fabrics such as leather, synthetic leather, and knit that make up gloves have elasticity to fit hands for sports.

  Further, the configuration of the glove body 1 will be described in detail. The back side portion 3 and the palm side portion 4 have four finger portions 3b to 3 corresponding to fingers other than the thumb on the fingertip side of the back portion 3a or the palm portion 4a. 3e, 4b-4e are made into the shape which protruded, and peripheral edges are mutually sewn except the notch part 6 which attaches the thumb bag 2, and the wrist side edge 7a which is an edge part of the wrist part 7. FIG.

  Moreover, in the notch part 6 which attaches the thumb bag 2, the dripping piece 3f protrudes from the index finger side. The dripping piece 3f is located in the valley between the thumb and the index finger, and can prevent the joint portion of the thumb bag 2 from hitting the thumb during gripping.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the human fingers of the index finger portions 3 b and 4 b of the back side portion 3 and palm side portion 4, both sides of the middle finger portions 3 c and 4 c, both sides of the ring finger portions 3 d and 4 d, and the little finger portions 3 e and 4 e On the finger side, a gusset piece 8 is interposed and stitched three-dimensionally to form a finger bag so that the finger can be inserted.

  In addition, on the wrist side of the back portion 3a, a detachable cut 9 and a stop piece 10 for binding the cut after wearing are provided, and on the inside of the stop piece 10 and on the wrist side of the back portion 3a are illustrated. The non-planar fasteners are fastened. In particular, the planar fastener of the back part is heat-welded to the back part by hot melt, eliminating contact with the thread compared to the case of sewing.

  A thumb bag attaching notch 6 is formed in the back side portion 3 and the palm side portion 4 where the thumb bag 2 is attached so that the back side portion 3 and the palm side portion 4 are not joined to each other. The notch portion 6 for attaching the thumb bag is a substantially oval hole and has a belt-like gap 6a so as to divide the wrist portion 7 of the glove body 1 from the lower end to the wrist side end 7a. An extension piece 2c of the thumb bag 2 is arranged in the gap 6a, and the extension piece 2c constitutes a part of the wrist portion 7 of the glove body 1.

  As shown in FIG. 5, a long window hole-like cutout portion 15 is formed in the upper part of the back side portion 3 so as to correspond to the third finger joint portion. The stretchable fabric 16 is pasted. In the bonding, the peripheral edge portion of the stretchable fabric 16 is welded and joined to the constituent piece of the back side portion 3 via the ring-shaped hot melt 21.

  The thumb bag 2 is formed by a back side piece 2a and a palm side piece 2b being continuously formed, and the peripheral edges of both sides are stitched together except for a lower opening joined to the thumb bag mounting notch 6. . The back piece 2a has a lower end part extending to the wrist end to form an extended piece 2c.

  The thumb bag 2 formed in this way is joined to the periphery of the thumb bag attaching notch 6 of the glove body 1. At that time, at least a part of the joining portion is welded and joined by the stretchable fabric 11.

  The stretchable fabric 11 is composed of a woven fabric, a nonwoven fabric, or a knitted fabric made of spandex made of polyurethane elastic fiber. Spandex has a tensile strength several times that of rubber and has a property of extending better than rubber. In the present embodiment, since it is used for welding and joining, it is preferable to have excellent heat-sealing performance that is difficult to be separated and separated by the heat applied in the processing step so that the spandex bites.

  The stretchable fabric 11 is welded and bonded to each piece of synthetic leather or the like by various methods such as thermal processing, high-frequency processing, and ultrasonic processing. The stretchable fabric has stretchability in two directions, vertical and horizontal. The degree of stretching may be the same or different in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. The degree of expansion / contraction is greater than that of the two members to be joined.

  As shown in FIG. 4, each piece joint to be welded is abutted and flat, and a tape-like stretchable fabric (hereinafter referred to as welding tape 11) having a width of about 10 mm is welded from the surface side. It is joined. In this embodiment, the welding tape 11 is affixed to most of the palm part and the back part of the lower end opening of the thumb bag 2 except for the periphery of the drooping piece 3f. Of course, you may make it join the notch part whole region containing the dripping piece 3f with the welding tape 11. FIG.

  In this embodiment, the welding tape 11 is welded and joined at each piece joint through the hot melt 22, but the hot tape 22 is not used and the welding tape itself is melted and joined. Also good.

  Such a welding tape 11 reduces the number of sewing locations, so that a feeling of crispness like a sewing portion is eliminated when the tape is attached. Also, when gripping the grip, unlike the case of sewing, the thumb bag 2 can be easily stretched in the vertical and horizontal directions, so that even when the thumb is bent, the movement easily follows and the golf glove is highly fit.

  In addition, the upper window hole-like cutout portion 15 on the back side portion 3 has a good fit when gripped by the stretchable fabric 16 welded and joined from the back side. In particular, even if the stretchable fabric 16 is welded and joined from the back side, there is no sewing site, so there is no sewing thread on the hand skin, and discomfort during gripping can be eliminated.

  In addition, in order to compare the joining performance by the welding tape of this invention and the joining performance by the conventional sewing, the elongation dimension and the elongation rate were measured based on JIS L1018 club method. The test piece is made of synthetic leather of about 260 mm (length) x 50 mm (width), and two pieces cut at an intermediate position (130 mm) in the length direction are welded and joined with a welding tape (the present invention). And a test piece (comparative example) in which both pieces were joined by sewing. As the welding tape, a spandex knitted fabric (Roika (registered trademark) manufactured by Asahi Kasei) made of polyurethane elastic fiber was used. The test was carried out with the holding interval of each test piece set to 200 mm and the pulling speed set to 30 ± 2 cm / min.

  As a result of the test, in the case of sewing, the elongation dimension was +65.6 mm and the elongation rate was 32.8%, whereas in the case of welding, the elongation dimension was +250.9 mm and the elongation dimension was 125.5%. Met. Here, the elongation dimension is an elongation dimension in which the sewing thread is cut in the case of sewing, and is a dimension in which the chuck is cut (the grip portion is cut) in the case of welding. As a result, it has been found that the synthetic leather joined by welding has an increased elongation.

  FIG. 6 is a front view of a golf glove showing another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, when the lower end opening of the thumb bag 2 is joined to the periphery of the thumb bag mounting notch 6 of the glove body 1, the glove body side palm part and the thumb bag 2 are joined at the joined portion. An elastic fabric 17 is interposed therebetween, and the elastic fabric 17 is welded and joined to the palm 4 and the thumb bag 2, respectively. The stretchable fabric 17 is bonded from the back side of each piece. Further, unlike the above embodiment, the other portions of the thumb bag 2 are sewn together by sewing, but this sewn portion may be welded and joined by the welding tape 11 as in the above embodiment.

  The stretch fabric 17 is composed of a woven fabric, a nonwoven fabric, or a knitted fabric made of spandex made of polyurethane elastic fibers, as in the above embodiment.

  In the glove body 1, the slit-shaped cutout portion 18 formed in the third joint portion of the palm-side finger piece is provided with an elastic fabric 19 as a horizontal strip so as to straddle the slit-like cutout portion 18. It is welded and joined to the periphery of the notch to prevent wrinkles during gripping.

  As described above, the elastic fabric 17 interposed between the palm portion on the bag body side and the thumb bag 2 allows the thumb portion to expand and contract when gripping, thereby increasing the fit. At this time, the stretchable fabric 17 is joined to the palm 4 and the back side of the thumb bag 2 by welding rather than sewing, so that it looks good and the sewing portion is reduced, so that an appropriate fit can be obtained. Can do.

  In addition, since the stretchable fabric 19 as a horizontal strip on the palm side is welded and joined, there is no sewing location, and there is no sewing thread on the hand skin, so that discomfort during gripping can be eliminated.

  Further, a reinforcing piece 20 made of leather or the like is thermally welded to the palm portion from the front side or the back side by hot melt so that the glove and the hand do not slip. Since the reinforcing piece 20 in this case is heat-welded, the thread does not hit the hand skin as in sewing, and an appropriate fit can be obtained. Other configurations and operational effects are the same as those of the above-described embodiment, and thus description thereof is omitted.

  FIG. 7 is a rear perspective view of a glove for explaining an embodiment when a planar fastener is heat-welded, and FIG. 8A is a cross-sectional view for explaining a problem when a conventional planar fastener is sewn. FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view showing another problem.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when the sheet fastener is sewn in the conventional manner, the thread 23 is sewn at least about 5 mm from the periphery of the sheet fastener 24. Then, as shown in FIG. 8A, when the seam allowance 25 of the sewn portion floats and the user removes the stop strip 10, the edge 24a of the planar fastener 24 may bite between the claws and cause injury. .

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8B, when the surface fastener 24 is sewn, the surface fastener 24 (mainly the male piece 24b) enters the fabric side (for example, the back portion 3a) with the needle 26 of the sewing machine. , Hits the hand skin and gives a tingling sensation. Therefore, in the case of sewing, the present situation is that a person touches and inspects.

  In order to solve such a conventional problem, in the present embodiment, the planar fastener is heat-welded to the stop band piece 10 or the back side portion of the wrist. The planar fastener 24 is heat-welded up to the peripheral edge 24a to prevent the peripheral edge from floating. Therefore, the edge 24a of the planar fastener 24 does not bite between the nails, and it is safe.

  Further, since the planar fastener 24 is heat-welded to the stop band piece 10, it is possible to prevent the male piece 24b of the planar fastener 24 from entering the fabric side and hitting the hand skin as in the case of sewing. it can.
