Description

  The present invention relates to a glove, and more particularly to a glove capable of operating a capacitive touch sensor or a touch panel in a state where a user wears the hand.

  In recent years, an electronic device called a tablet PC (personal computer) has become widespread. A tablet PC is a touch panel using a display device such as a liquid crystal display and an input device such as a touch pad, which are input / output devices provided separately from a main body housing for storing arithmetic logic devices, control devices, and memories in a general PC. This is a PC provided integrally with a flat main body housing.

  In the tablet PC, a pseudo keyboard is displayed on the touch panel, and the user can perform a key input operation on the touch panel.

  Many tablet PCs are provided with wireless communication means, and some are capable of data communication with a public mobile phone communication network.

  As a touch sensor method adopted in a tablet PC, what is called a capacitance method is currently mainstream. In the capacitive method, a low voltage alternating current is applied to the touch sensor, and when a user's human body (usually a fingertip), which is a conductor, approaches or touches the touch sensor, a weak current flows from the touch sensor to the human body. Flowing. At that time, the capacitance of the touch sensor decreases. By detecting this decrease in capacitance, it is specified which of the touch sensors arranged in a matrix on the touch panel has been touched.

  In order to operate a tablet PC using a capacitive touch sensor, a current needs to flow between the display surface of the tablet PC (surface on which the touch sensor is arranged) and the user's human body. There is. Therefore, for example, when touch operation of a tablet PC is performed in a cold place such as outdoors in winter, even if an attempt is made with a general glove on the hand, the tablet PC and the user's fingertip The energization between them is hindered by gloves and cannot be operated. Therefore, when operating the tablet PC, it is necessary to remove the gloves and perform the operation while withstanding the cold.

  In order to eliminate the inconvenience described above, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3 propose gloves using a conductive material for the fingertip portion. According to the glove disclosed in these patent documents, since the current flows from the capacitive touch sensor to the fingertip through the conductive material used in the glove worn on the hand, the tablet can be worn while wearing the glove. The mold PC can be operated.

  It is easy to introduce a conductive material into a knitted glove. Because, in place of the conventional non-conductive wool yarn that was used in the past, existing manufacturing equipment can be changed to the production equipment by introducing wool woven with conductive fibers (conductive wool) as a raw material. This is because a glove made of an electrically conductive material can be manufactured without adding.

  However, conductive fibers are generally expensive because they involve special materials and processing, and if the entire glove is made of conductive wool, the cost increases.

  Therefore, it is conceivable to use conductive wool only for the fingertips and normal wool for the other parts, but in order to do so, it is necessary to connect them using different yarns depending on the part of the glove. It is necessary to make major changes to the manufacturing equipment.

  In addition, for gloves that are not knitted, such as leather gloves, it is technically difficult to woven conductive fibers into leather in the first place.

  For example, in general, a leather glove is made by turning the outer edges of two sheets of leather (the palm side part and the back part of the hand) cut and polymerized into a hand shape, with one round stitching, leaving the wrist. Manufactured by. As an existing method for making a leather glove manufactured by such a manufacturing process have conductivity, there is, for example, the following method.

  First, the fingertip portion of the sheet-like leather on the palm side cut into the shape of a hand is cut off. Subsequently, the palm side part is manufactured by stitching the conductive fabric cut into the same shape as the cut-out portion to the fingertip portion of the sheet-like leather on the palm side. Thereafter, the palm part and the back part of the hand are overlapped and stitched together. By turning the glove so stitched upside down, a leather glove having conductivity on the fingertip is manufactured.

  In the manufacture of the above-described leather gloves, first, (a) cutting the fingertip portion of the sheet leather on the palm side, (b) preparing the fabric on the fingertip portion, and (c) the sheet on the palm side, compared to the conventional manufacturing process. Three steps of stitching the fabric to the fingertip portion of the leather are added. Steps (a) and (b) are easy steps, and (a) is eliminated by cutting the fingertip portion in advance when cutting the sheet leather on the palm side. Can do. On the other hand, (c) is a delicate and not always easy process. Therefore, in particular, the cost increases due to the addition of the step (c).

  Leather gloves are generally superior in cold protection compared to knitted gloves. However, one side of the fingertip that is particularly desired to improve cold protection is replaced with fabric, and air from the seam between the leather and fabric is further removed. Since there is a possibility of entering, it is undesirable because the cold protection performance is lowered.

  For the user, design is as important as functionality in gloves. A user who places emphasis on design is selecting and using his / her favorite gloves from among a myriad of designs. In contrast, the number of gloves made of conductive material on the market is not always large, and there are not many users who abandon the use of gloves made of conductive material because there is no favorite design. It is.

  A method for manufacturing a conductive wearing tool and a glove equipped with the conductive wearing tool according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

[First embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a view showing a state in which a conductive wearing tool 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention is attached to an existing glove 9. In addition, the near side in FIG. The glove 9 is composed of a pair of a left hand glove 9L and a right hand glove 9R, and the shape and structure thereof are the same except that they are bilaterally symmetric.

  The left hand glove 9L and the right hand glove 9R each have a palm bag 91 that covers the user's palm when worn by the user and five finger bags that each cover the user's five fingers. 92. The conductive wearing device 1 is attached to an area where the fingertip on the palm side of each hand touches the finger bag 92.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a configuration of the conductive wearing device 1. The conductive mounting tool 1 includes an inner conductive part 11 shown in FIGS. 2A and 2C and an outer conductive part 12 shown in FIGS. 2B and 2D. 2C is a cross-sectional view of the inner conductive part 11 taken along the cross-section x shown in FIG. 2A, and FIG. 2D is a cross-section y shown in FIG. 2B. It is sectional drawing at the time of cut | disconnecting the outer side conductive part 12 by.

  The inner conductive part 11 includes an inner sheet 111, an adhesive layer 112 disposed on one surface of the inner sheet 111, and a surface on the side where the adhesive layer 112 is disposed among the two surfaces of the inner sheet 111. And a plurality of inner protrusions 113 protruding vertically.

  Similarly, the outer conductive part 12 includes an outer sheet 121, an adhesive layer 122 disposed on one surface of the outer sheet 121, and a side of the two surfaces of the outer sheet 121 on which the adhesive layer 122 is disposed. And a plurality of outer protrusions 123 protruding vertically from the surface. Note that the surface of the outer sheet 121 on which the adhesive layer 122 is not disposed is raised from the outer edge toward the center so as to be curved outward.

  The inner sheet 111 and the outer sheet 121 are conductive flexible resin sheets. Various materials can be considered as the material of the conductive flexible resin sheet. For example, a material in which silver powder is mixed into a silicon resin can be considered.

  The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 112 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 122 are, for example, adhesive layers. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 112 includes the inner surface of the finger bag 92 and the inner sheet 111, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 122 includes the outer surface of the finger bag 92 and the outer sheet 121. Each sticks.

  The inner protrusion 113 is made of a conductive flexible resin, and as shown in FIG. 2C, the tip portion has a mushroom shape. On the other hand, the outer protrusion 123 is made of a conductive flexible resin and has a cylindrical shape as a whole as shown in FIG. 2 (d). ) Has 3) annular projections.

  When the inner protruding portion 113 is inserted into the outer protruding portion 123, the hook portion (mushroom-shaped umbrella portion) of the tip portion of the inner protruding portion 113 is caught by the annular protruding portion of the outer protruding portion 123, and the inner protruding portion 113 and the outer protruding portion Engagement with the unit 123 is performed. At that time, the inner projection 113 and the outer projection 123 are also electrically connected.

  The inner protrusion 113 is formed by integral molding with the inner sheet 111 and the outer protrusion 123 is formed with the outer sheet 121, respectively. However, the inner protrusion 113 and the outer protrusion 123 have sufficient strength for mutual engagement. Therefore, the material is selected so as to have higher rigidity than the inner sheet 111 and the outer sheet 121. The inner protrusion 113 is continuous with the inner sheet 111, and the outer protrusion 123 is continuous with the outer sheet 121, so that they are also electrically connected.

  The inner conductive part 11 and the outer conductive part 12 are respectively attached to the inner side surface and the outer side surface of the finger pouch 92 with an adhesive layer. At that time, the inner protrusion 113 and the outer protrusion 123 are inserted in the thickness direction of the finger bag 92 and are engaged with each other inside the finger bag 92. FIG. 3 is a view showing the state of the inner conductive part 11 and the outer conductive part 12 arranged in the finger bag 92 and fastened to each other as described above.

  Which of the plurality of annular projections of the outer projection 123 is hooked by the flange portion of the inner projection 113 varies depending on the thickness of the finger bag 92. That is, if the finger bag 92 is thin, the hook portion of the inner protrusion 113 is hooked to the annular protrusion closer to the outer sheet 121 among the plurality of annular protrusions of the outer protrusion 123, and the engagement is performed. If the finger bag 92 is thick, the hook portion of the inner protrusion 113 is engaged with the annular protrusion on the side farther from the outer sheet 121 among the plurality of annular protrusions of the outer protrusion 123. Thus, the shapes of the inner protrusion 113 and the outer protrusion 123 are designed so that the distance between the inner sheet 111 and the outer sheet 121 can be changed according to the thickness of the finger bag 92.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the inner conductive part 11 disposed on the inner side of the finger bag 92 and the outer conductive part 12 disposed on the outer side include an inner protrusion 113 and an outer protrusion 123 that are engaged with each other. Are electrically connected to each other. For this reason, when the finger 8 of the user wearing the gloves 9 touches the inner conductive part 11, the finger 8 is electrically connected to the outer conductive part 12. As a result, the user wearing the gloves 9 can operate, for example, the touch sensor of the tablet PC 7 with the finger 8 over the finger bag 92. At that time, since the outer surface of the outer sheet 121 that touches the operation surface on which the touch sensor is arranged is curved, even when the angle of the finger 8 with respect to the operation surface changes, the conductive wearing tool 1 always points to the operation surface. Touch and high operability can be obtained.

  By the way, when the glove 9 is a knitted glove, for example, the finger bag 92 has a large number of yarn stitches, and therefore holes for inserting the inner protrusion 113 and the outer protrusion 123 in the thickness direction of the finger bag 92. Need not be formed separately. That is, with respect to the knit finger bag 92, the inner projecting portion 113 and the outer projecting portion 123 are inserted into the stitches and engaged with each other, so that the inner conductive part 11 and the outer conductive part 12 can be easily used. The attachment to 92 is completed.

  On the other hand, when the glove 9 is a leather glove, for example, it is necessary to provide a hole for inserting the inner protrusion 113 and the outer protrusion 123 in the thickness direction of the finger bag 92. The operation can be easily and safely performed by, for example, the punching device 4 and the needle receiving pad 5 shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the punching device 4 includes a base 41, a cover 42 disposed so as to cover the base 41 from above, and a cover 42 disposed from the base 41. A plurality of needles 43 arranged so as to protrude vertically on the side where the head is located and a plurality of bridges 44 that connect the base 41 and the cover 42 are provided. FIG. 4B shows the punching instrument 4 with the cover 42 removed.

  The base 41 has a hollow portion, and a mechanism for urging the bridge 44 upward in FIG. 4B by a spring is provided in the hollow portion. That is, when the cover 42 connected to the bridge 44 receives a pressing force that can overcome the biasing force of the spring from the top to the bottom, the cover 42 moves downward, that is, in a direction approaching the base 41 and is released from the pressing. And it moves to the direction away from the base 41 by the urging | biasing by a spring.

  The cover 42 is provided with a hole at a position corresponding to the position of the needle 43, and at least the tip of the needle 43 enters the hole. In a state where no downward pressure is applied to the cover 42, the tip of the needle 43 is accommodated in the hole of the cover 42. When the cover 42 is pressed downward, the cover 42 is lowered and the tip of the needle 43 protrudes above the upper surface of the cover 42.

  When a hole is made in the finger pouch 92 using the punching device 4 having the above-described mechanism, the needle 43 is a substantially cylindrical rod-like body so that the needle 43 does not penetrate not only the palm side but also the back of the hand. A needle pad 5 is used. The needle receiving pad 5 is made of, for example, silicon resin.

  In order to make a hole in the finger bag 92, first, the needle receiving pad 5 is inserted inside the finger bag 92 to be punched (see FIG. 4C). Subsequently, the punching device 4 is strongly pressed against the palm side of the finger bag 92 so that the needle 43 side of the punching device 4 faces the finger bag 92. As a result, the needle 43 penetrates the finger bag 92 and reaches the needle receiving pad 5. At that time, a hole is made on the palm side of the finger bag 92, but since the needle 43 does not reach the back side of the hand by the needle receiving pad 5, the hole is not made.

  Thereafter, when the punching device 4 is peeled off from the finger bag 92 and the needle receiving pad 5 is pulled out of the finger bag 92, a finger bag 92 having a hole only on the palm side is completed. When a hole is formed in this way, the inner protrusion 113 and the outer protrusion 123 are inserted into the hole so that the inner conductive part 11 and the outer conductive part 12 can be easily attached to the finger bag 92. Can do.

  As described above, according to the conductive wearing device 1, a hole is made on the palm side of the finger bag 92 using the punching device 4 and the needle receiving pad 5 as necessary, and then the inner conductive part 11 is moved to the finger. By pressing the outer conductive part 12 from the inside of the bag 92 from the outside of the finger bag 92 so as to sandwich the palm side portion of the finger bag 92 (the part where the finger contacts), it can be easily applied to existing gloves. The conductive mounting tool 1 can be mounted. As a result, it is possible to operate an electrostatic capacity type touch sensor by wearing an existing glove.

  In order to avoid the problem that the user accidentally pushes down the cover 42 with a finger or the like when not in use and is injured by the needle 43 protruding from the bottom of the cover 42 when not in use. It is desirable to provide a mechanism for locking so that the cover 42 does not fall down due to pressing. For example, if the user slides the slide button 45 provided on the side surface of the base 41 by a known mechanism so that the distance between the base 41 and the cover 42 is fixed, the user By sliding the slide button 45 when not in use, the punching device 4 can be safely stored.

[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 5 is a view showing a state when the conductive wearing device 2 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is attached to the existing glove 9. The appearance of the glove 9 with the conductive wearing device 2 attached is the same as that shown in FIG.

  The conductive wearing device 2 is a conductive resin that is in the form of a paste before being worn, and after being applied and pressed into the glove 9, it is hardened by curing or the like to be worn on the glove 9. In addition, the conductive wearing tool 2 in a cured state has flexibility. Hereinafter, the paste-like conductive wearing tool 2 is referred to as a conductive paste.

  The conductive paste before application to the finger bag 92 is accommodated in the applicator 6. The applicator 6 includes a shallow elliptic cylinder 61 and an elliptic cylinder-shaped piston 62 which is inserted into the cylinder 61 and moves in the axial direction of the cylinder when pressed by the user. The cylinder 61 is filled with a conductive paste, and the conductive paste is sealed in the cylinder 61 by closing the opening of the cylinder 61 with a sheet-like sealing material.

  The user first opens a hole in the fingertip region on the palm side of the finger bag 92 using the punching device 4 and the needle receiving pad 5 shown in FIG. Thereafter, the user turns over the glove 9 so that the front and back are reversed.

  Subsequently, the user peels off the sheet-like sealing material attached to the applicator 6 from the opening of the cylinder 61 to expose the conductive paste, and then opens the opening to the fingertip on the palm side of the finger bag 92. Press against the area (inside surface when wearing gloves). In this state, the piston 62 is pressed in the direction of the finger bag 92 (FIG. 5A).

  At that time, if an excessive amount of the conductive paste slips out to the back side of the finger bag 92 through the hole in the finger bag 92, the thickness of the conductive paste covering the surface of the finger bag 92 becomes too thin, and sufficient It is not desirable because conductivity cannot be obtained. For this reason, an annular protrusion is provided at a predetermined position on the opening side of the inner surface of the cylinder 61, and the user can easily achieve it by pressing the front end side edge of the piston 62 against the annular protrusion. A thick conductive paste can be applied to the surface of the finger pouch 92.

  FIG. 5B shows the finger bag 92 in a state where the conductive paste is applied to the inner side as described above. The conductive paste applied to the inner side surface of the finger bag 92 is cured by curing or the like to become the inner conductive part 21. The inner conductive part 21 is divided into an inner sheet 211 that is a portion disposed on the inner side surface of the finger pouch 92 and an inner protrusion 213 that is a portion that enters the inside of the hole of the finger pouch 92. . In addition, since the conductive paste itself has adhesiveness and adheres to the surface of the finger bag 92 as it hardens, the conductive wearing tool 2 does not require the adhesive layer 112 in the conductive wearing tool 1.

  After the inner conductive part 21 is sufficiently cured, the user turns the glove 9 over again so that the front and back sides are reversed. Thereafter, the user peels off the sheet-like sealing material of the new applicator 6 filled with the conductive paste, and the fingertip area on the palm side of the finger bag 92 (the outer surface when wearing gloves), that is, the inner conductive part 21 is arranged. The opening part of the applicator 6 in a state where the conductive paste is exposed is pressed against the outer surface side of the region that is formed. In this state, the piston 62 is pressed in the direction of the finger bag 92.

  FIG. 5C shows the finger bag 92 in a state where the conductive paste is applied to the outer surface side of the finger bag 92 as described above. The conductive paste applied to the outer surface side of the finger bag 92 is cured by curing or the like to become the outer conductive part 22. Similarly to the inner conductive part 21, the outer conductive part 22 is a part that enters the inside of the hole of the finger sheet 92 and the outer sheet 221 that is a part disposed on the outer surface of the finger bag 92. The outer protrusions 223 are divided. Note that the adhesive layer 122 is not necessary because the conductive paste itself has adhesiveness and adheres to the surface of the finger bag 92 as it hardens.

  The conductive paste press-fitted from the outer surface of the finger pouch 92 to the inside of the hole of the finger pouch 92 by pressing against the piston 62 reaches the tip of the inner protrusion 213 inside the hole of the finger pouch 92 and is connected thereto. Is done. Thereafter, the inner conductive part 21 and the outer conductive part 22 are integrated by curing the conductive paste.

Whereas the conductive wearable device 1 and the conductive wearable device 2 cover the palm side of the fingertip portion with a substantially elliptical shape, the conductive wearable device 3 has a shape that covers almost the entire palm side of the fingertip portion. .

  The gloves 9 to which the conductive wearing device 3 is attached are superposed on the palm side part 91 and the back side part 92 which are flexible sheets each cut into a hand shape so that the outer surfaces of the final product are in contact with each other. In this state, the outer edge portion is connected by stitching except for the wrist portion (opening portion for putting in and out the hand), and the bag-like one is turned over so that the front and back sides are reversed.

  The conductive wearing tool 3 is affixed to the palm side part 91 in the stage before suturing in the manufacturing process of the glove 9 described above. FIG. 7 is a view showing a state in which the conductive wearing tool 3 is affixed to the palm side part 91.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, the conductive wearing tool 3 includes a conductive cloth 31 cut into a predetermined shape and an adhesive layer 32 disposed on one surface of the conductive cloth 31. Yes. The conductive fabric 31 is divided into a fingertip-shaped body portion 311 and a fin portion 312 protruding from the body portion 311 to the left and right.

  The manufacturer superimposes the body portion 311 on the outer side surface (outer side surface when worn) of the fingertip portion of the palm side part 91, as shown in FIGS. The body part 311 is affixed to the palm side part 91 by the above.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 7D to 7F, the manufacturer folds the fin portion 312 to the back side of the palm side part 91, that is, to the inner side surface, and the fin portion against the palm side part 91 by the adhesive layer 32. 312 is pasted. At that time, the conductive fabric 31 sandwiches the palm side part 91 from the side at the base of the left and right fin portions 312. In addition, FIG.7 (f) has shown the state which looked at the palm side part 91 of the state in which the electroconductive mounting tool 3 was stuck in that way from the inner surface.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 8A, the outer side surface of the palm side part 91 to which the conductive wearing device 3 is attached is overlapped with the outer side surface of the back side part 92 so as to be in contact with each other. As shown to (b), the outer edge part is stitch | sutured so that it may make a round except a wrist part.

[Modification]
The above-described embodiments are specific examples of the present invention and can be variously modified. Examples of these modifications are shown below.

  The conductive wearing tool 1, the conductive wearing tool 2 and the conductive wearing tool 3 described above are attached to all five fingers of the left hand glove 9L and the right hand glove 9R. Need only be installed. For example, for right-handed users, it is only necessary to attach these conductive wearing tools to only the five fingers of the right hand glove 9R, and it may not be necessary to wear the left hand glove 9L. In the case where only the index finger and the thumb are used in the operation of the touch sensor, it is not necessary to attach the conductive wearing tools for the middle finger, the ring finger and the little finger.

  The shape, material, and size of the above-described conductive mounting tool 1, conductive mounting tool 2, and conductive mounting tool 3 can be variously changed. For example, the positions of the inner protrusion 113 and the outer protrusion 123 in the conductive wearing device 1 are numbers, the shapes for engaging the inner protrusion 113 and the outer protrusion 123 are design matters, and other various positions. Any number or shape may be employed. In addition, the shape of the conductive wearable device 1 and the conductive wearable device 2 is not the elliptical shape, but the shape of the fin portion 312 in the conductive wearable device 3 is, for example, only one of the left and right sides, or two or more on one side. It is also a design matter to provide the fin portion 312 and to change the width and length of the fin portion 312.

  In addition, when mounting the conductive mounting device 1 and the conductive mounting device 2, for example, when the glove 9 is a leather glove, the glove 9 is perforated by the perforating device 4 and the needle receiving pad 5. However, the perforating device 4 and the needle receiving pad 5 are examples of perforating means, and any other means may be used instead. For example, holes may be made one by one with a thousand sheets.

  In addition, although the applicator 6 is used in the mounting of the conductive mounting tool 2, the shape and structure of the applicator 6 described above is an example, and the conductive paste is applied and pressed into the finger pouch 92. Any other shape and structure capable of the above may be adopted for the applicator device 6. Further, the molding container 63 is not necessarily required. For example, the conductive paste filled in a container such as a simple bottle is taken out with a spatula or the like, applied to the finger bag 92, and then applied to the finger bag 92 with a spatula belly or the like. The method of application | coating and press-fit of pressing with respect to may be employ | adopted.

  In addition, when attaching the conductive attachment 3, the palm side part 921 and the back part 922 of the hand are connected in a bag shape by stitching, but the connection is made by other methods such as adhesive or heat welding. May be performed. Further, in the mounting of the conductive mounting portion 1 and the conductive mounting portion 3, the conductive sheet is attached to the finger bag 92 by the adhesive layer. However, the attachment may be performed by other methods such as fixing by heat welding. It may be done.

  Since the glove wearing device according to the present invention can be mass-produced and widely purchased and used by general consumers, it contributes to at least service industries such as manufacturing, wholesale and retail. Moreover, since the glove with which the conductive mounting device concerning this invention was mounted | worn, and its mounting method or manufacturing method can be widely utilized for the glove manufacturer, it contributes at least to the manufacturing industry.
