Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples and the like, and can be arbitrarily modified and implemented without departing from the gist of the present invention. ..

1 is a perspective view of the gripping aid 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view, and FIG. 3 is a rear view. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the gripping aid according to the embodiment of the present invention is composed mainly of a leather gripping pad 10 and a belt portion 20 for holding fingers.

The gripping aid 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is attached to the user's fingers by using the belt portion 20 formed on the back surface 11 of the gripping pad 10, and the surface 12 of the gripping pad 10 is directed to a strap or the like. It is used by gripping the gripping object. By doing so, it can be used without directly touching the gripping object such as the strap.

The gripping pad 10 is a flat leather pad. The size of the gripping pad 10 is set so as to correspond to the size of the user's fingers, and is preferably 9 to 14 cm in width and 12 to 20 cm in length. The thickness of the gripping pad 10 is set within a range in which the object can be gripped, and is usually 0.5 to 5 mm, although it depends on the material.

In this embodiment, the gripping pad 10 is made of one piece of cowhide. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and natural leather other than cowhide, or leather materials such as artificial leather and synthetic leather may be used. Further, instead of one piece, two pieces of leather may be laminated on the front side and the back side, and the same leather material or different leather materials may be used on the back side 11 and the front side 12. Further, a material other than the leather material or a material other than the leather material (for example, a resin material, an elastomer material, etc.) may be sandwiched between the two pieces of leather on the front surface and the back surface to form an integral gripping pad. The sandwiching resin material or elastomer material may be appropriately selected in consideration of the desired characteristics such as elasticity and strength.

Further, the color and pattern of the gripping pad 10 are arbitrary and can be appropriately selected according to the preference of the user. In the present embodiment, the back surface 11 and the front surface 12 of the gripping pad 10 have different colors, but they may be the same color.

The belt portion 20 is a portion for holding the gripping aid 1 on the user's fingers. In the present embodiment, as can be seen from FIG. 3, the belt portion 20 holds the grip pad 10 through two through holes 10a provided in parallel with the grip pad 10, but the present embodiment is not limited to this embodiment. For example, the belt portion 20 may be adhered to and fixed to the back surface 11 of the gripping pad 10.

In the present embodiment, the belt portion 20 can be opened and closed by the engaging means 21. FIG. 4 shows a photograph of the belt portion 20 with the engaging means 21 removed, and FIG. 5 shows a photograph of the user's fingers with the gripping aid 1 attached.

In the gripping auxiliary tool 1 of the present embodiment, since the belt portion 20 can be opened and closed by the engaging means 21, the gripping pad 10 can easily wipe off the sterilization after using not only the front surface 12 but also the back surface 11.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a hook-and-loop tape (magic tape) is used as the engaging means 21 in the embodiment of the present invention, but the engaging means is not limited to the hook-and-loop tape, and other means may be used (for example,). , Buttons and other fasteners). However, in the case of a face tape, since the position can be easily changed, it is easy to match the size of the hand, and it can be applied to various users with different finger sizes.

The size of the belt portion 20 is set so as to correspond to the size of the user's fingers, and is, for example, 2 to 6 cm in width and 15 to 25 cm in length. The thickness of the belt portion 20 is not particularly limited, but is usually 0.5 to 3 mm.

The gripping object of the gripping aid of the present invention is not particularly limited, but a strap, a handrail, a doorknob, a handle of a bag, or the like is a suitable target.

FIG. 5 shows a state in which a cylindrical body (simulated strap ring) is gripped by using the gripping aid 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 shows a state in which the doorknob is gripped by using the gripping aid 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

As described above, the gripping aid of the present invention is sized to correspond to the size of the user's fingers. FIG. 8 shows a plan view of an M size gripping assisting tool (corresponding to the gripping assisting tool 1), FIG. 9 shows a plan view of an L size gripping assisting tool, and FIG. 10 shows a plan view of an S size gripping assisting tool.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the embodiments disclosed this time are examples in all respects and are not restrictive, and various modifications are possible, and such. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the modifications are also within the scope of the present invention. In addition, in the embodiments disclosed this time, matters not explicitly disclosed, for example, the dimensions, weight, volume, etc. of the constituents do not deviate from the range normally practiced by those skilled in the art, and are normal. A value that can be easily assumed by a person skilled in the art is adopted.

The gripping aid of the present invention has, for example, the following advantages.
-Since 2 to 4 fingers need to be passed through the belt, it is easier to put on and take off than gloves.
-Since this product can be attached with one hand to grip straps, handrails, etc., it can be used even in a position with a bag in the other hand.
-The size is as inconspicuous as possible even when used in public vehicles. In addition, the curve is designed so that it fits comfortably in the hand.
-Since it can be used when holding a doorknob, it is frequently used in condominiums, public facilities, workplaces, etc. other than vehicles.
-Can be used to push push-type buttons such as elevator buttons over the belt.
・ Use when holding a shopping bag or bag to reduce the pain caused by the weight.
-Since the position of the leather belt for fixing to the hand can be changed with face tape, it is easy to match the size of the hand and many people can use it.
-When the engaging means such as the surface tape of the belt part is opened, the shape becomes thin, so it is easy to put it in a bag or the like and it is easy to carry.
-It is light because it has a thin shape with a small number of components.
・ After use, you can put it in a plastic bag prepared in another hand as it is, and handle it so that the inside of the bag does not get dirty.
-Since cowhide is used, it returns to a flat shape when not in use, and dirt can be wiped off with a towel or tissue paper, and it is not disposable.
・ While paying attention to the softness to make it easier to grip, the thickness required to return to flatness is also required, so the thickness of the leather used is adjusted.

As a modified version of the gripping aid of the present invention, the gripping pad and / or the belt portion may be made of a material other than leather (for example, a resin material (urethane resin, silicon resin, etc.) or an elastomer material.
<1A> A gripping aid having a gripping pad and a belt portion formed on the back surface of the gripping pad for holding fingers.
<2A> The gripping aid according to <1A>, wherein the gripping pad and / or the belt portion is made of a resin material or an elastomer material.
In this case, for example, it has the following advantages.
-Since it can be washed with water, cleaning and sterilization are easy.-Since it is not slippery when gripping, it is easy to use when riding.
・ It is cheap and can be mass-produced.
