Description

  The present invention relates to work gloves.

  In a production line for assembling an object such as a vehicle, operations such as pushing in parts or driving parts are performed by human hands. When such a work is performed with bare hands, a shock may be directly transmitted to the hand and hurt the hand. Therefore, work gloves have been conventionally used to protect the hand from the shock (for example, Patent Documents). 1).

  Patent Document 1 proposes a work glove that covers a portion from the fingertip to the wrist, is subjected to anti-slip processing on the palm, and is provided with a shock absorbing layer in a range extending from the upper part of the palm to the finger.

JP-A-6-158406 (FIG. 1)

  In the working glove described in Patent Document 1, since the shock absorbing layer is provided in a wide range on the palm side, the effect of mitigating the impact is high, but it is difficult to perform a work involving a gripping operation. There is a problem that workability is lowered.

  In order to improve workability, it is conceivable to reduce the range in which the shock absorbing layer is provided, such as providing the shock absorbing layer in a very small part of the palm. However, in the assembly work of vehicles, etc., impact is applied over a wide range, so if only a part of the shock absorbing layer is provided, the impact is transmitted to the part where the shock absorbing layer is not provided and numbness or pain occurs. Cannot be prevented sufficiently.

  The present invention has been completed based on the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a work glove that can sufficiently reduce an impact and has excellent workability.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention includes a bag body that covers the back and palm of the hand and has an insertion port through which one end of each of five fingers can be inserted, and in the bag body, in the vicinity of the base of the little finger The thickness of the L-shaped region that extends from the side of the shank to the wrist to the wrist ball portion covering the palm from the vicinity of the base of the thumb to the wrist, The working glove characterized in that the L-shaped region is formed by laminating a shock absorbing layer made of a shock absorbing material on the base material layer. It is.

  By the way, in the assembly process of a vehicle or the like, the part is pushed by the side of the little finger side (referred to as the scale side) of the hand or the part of the palm that bulges from the base of the thumb to the wrist side (referred to as the thumb ball). Various operations such as pushing in and screwing screws into parts are performed. Among these operations, there were many people who hurt their hands due to the operation of pushing parts using the part from the scale side of the hand to the thumb ball.

  Therefore, in the work glove of the present invention, from the side of the shank where the vicinity of the little finger base to the wrist is arranged, to the thumb ball part of the palm covering part which is arranged from the vicinity of the thumb base to the wrist. The thickness of the continuous L-shaped region was made larger than other regions. That is, according to the present invention, the thickness of the portion where the impact is easily transmitted during the assembly work is larger than that of the other portions, so that the impact transmitted to the hand during the work is sufficiently mitigated and grasped. Can be carried out smoothly.

  In addition, according to the present invention, since it has an insertion port through which each of five fingers can be inserted, when the work glove of the present invention is put on the hand, the finger is arranged in an exposed state, and the work glove is kept on, Work that requires fingertip movement can be performed smoothly.

Furthermore, in the present invention, since the L-shaped region is formed by laminating a shock absorbing layer made of a shock absorbing material on the base material layer, the L-shaped region is formed after the bag body is made of a base material having a uniform thickness. An L-shaped region can be easily formed by laminating a shock absorbing layer made of a shock absorbing material on the shaped region.
As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a working glove that can sufficiently reduce an impact and has excellent workability. In addition, in this specification, the scale side part of a bag main body is a part over a palm covering part and an instep covering part.

The present invention may be configured as follows.
Of the bag body, the upper covering portion covering the back of the hand may be made of a stretchable material. With such a configuration, it is easy to attach and detach, and it is not necessary to prepare various standards for each size of the hand, so that the cost is low.

The base layer of the L-shaped region is made of a stretchable material, and the shock absorbing layer is made up of a first shock absorbing layer made of a foamable material and a second shock absorbing layer made of a non-foamable material. It may be formed by laminating on the base material layer in this order, and a protective layer may be further laminated on the second shock absorbing layer.
With such a configuration, since a stretchable material is used as the material of the base material that comes into contact with the skin, it is easy to attach and detach. In addition, according to such a configuration, the first shock absorbing layer made of a soft foamable material is arranged on the side close to the skin, and the material that is hard and excellent in shock absorption on the side far from the skin is non-foaming. Since the material is arranged, the touch is good and the shock absorption is excellent. Since the protective layer is laminated on the second shock absorbing layer, the shock absorbing layer can be prevented from being damaged, and the impact relaxation effect is further improved.

The protective layer is made of a leather material, and the protective layer is formed in a wider range than the L-shaped region on which the shock absorbing layer is formed, and the base is formed along the outer periphery of the L-shaped region. You may fix by sewing to a material layer.
When the protective layer and the base material layer are made of materials having different expansion / contraction ratios, the shock absorbing layer formed between the protective layer and the base material layer by the work gloves expanding / contracting with attachment / detachment etc. There is a concern that the position shifts.
With the above configuration, since the shock absorbing layer disposed between the protective layer and the base material layer is positioned, the shock absorbing layer does not shift even if the work gloves expand and contract during attachment / detachment. .

  The protective layer is continuously formed so as to cover the L-shaped region and the region on the one end side with respect to the L-shaped region of the palm covering portion. You may fix to the said base material layer by forming a seam in the part which covers the area | region on the said one end part side. By setting it as such a structure, while the intensity | strength of a palm coating part improves, a protective layer becomes difficult to shift | deviate from a base material layer.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a work glove that can sufficiently reduce an impact and has excellent workability.

As a result, according to this embodiment, the impact transmitted to the hand 1 during the assembly work can be sufficiently mitigated. In the present embodiment, the protective layer 26 is provided on the base material layer 23 in the region above the L-shaped region 22, but the thickness is smaller than that of the L-shaped region 22. Work involving operations can be performed smoothly.

Furthermore, since the glove 10 of this embodiment has the insertion port 12 which can insert five fingers 2,3,4,5,6, respectively, the movement of a fingertip is required with the work glove 10 still worn. Work can be performed smoothly.
Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide the working gloves 10 that can sufficiently reduce the impact and have excellent workability.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, since the bag body 11 is made of a base material having a uniform thickness and then the shock absorbing material is laminated, the thickness of the L-shaped region 22 is increased. It is easy to form the region 22.

  Moreover, according to this embodiment, since the base material layer 23 of the bag body 11 is made of an elastic material, it is easy to attach and detach, and it is not necessary to prepare various standards for each size of the hand 1. Low cost.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the first shock absorbing layer 24A made of a soft foamable material is disposed on the side close to the skin, and the material that is hard and excellent in shock absorption on the side far from the skin is a non-foamable material. Since it is arranged, it can be touched and has excellent shock absorption.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the protection is made of a leather material and formed in a wide range so as to cover the L-shaped region 22 and the region on the upper end portion 11 </ b> A side continuous from the L-shaped region 22. Since the second impact layer is laminated by the layer 26, the impact absorbing layer 24 can be prevented from being damaged and the impact relaxation effect is further improved.

By the way, when the protective layer 26 and the base material layer 23 are comprised from the material from which an expansion / contraction rate differs, when the glove 10 expands / contracts when attaching / detaching the working glove 10, the protective layer 26 and the base material There is a concern that the shock absorbing layer 24 arranged between the layer 23 and the protective layer 26 and the base material layer 23 may be displaced.
However, in the present embodiment, the protective layer 26 is sewn to the base material layer 23 along the outer periphery of the L-shaped region 22, and shock absorption disposed between the protective layer 26 and the base material layer 23. Since the layer 24 is positioned, even if the glove 10 expands and contracts during attachment / detachment, the shock absorbing layer 24 is not displaced. In particular, in the present embodiment, the protective layer 26 includes a seam 28A along the outer periphery of the L-shaped region 22, a seam 28B formed in a portion 27 covering the region on one end side, and a seam 28C along the outer periphery. Since it is fixed to the base material layer 23 by forming, the strength of the palm covering portion 20 is improved and the protective layer 26 is not easily displaced from the base material layer 23.
