が面倒であった。However, although the above-mentioned glove is relatively easy to fit in the hand 23, when it is taken off, the thumb 25 or the index finger 27 of the other hand is used to insert the finger insertion portions 1 to 1. It is necessary to forcibly open the open end of 9 and pull it in order by pinching it with the thumb 25 and the index finger 27, as shown in FIG. 7, for example.
Since the open end of ~ 9 did not spread very much, it was difficult to pick and the removal was troublesome.

The parts 29 to 37 are cut and formed together when cut from the gloved material. Not only the glove body 11 but also the finger insertion portions 1 to 9 are sewn, bonded or crimped by providing the gusset portion 39 as shown in FIG. 2, or are manufactured without the gusset portion 39 (not shown) ( See FIG. 5B described later). Reference numeral 41 in FIG. 2 is a seam.

3, the index finger 15, the middle finger 17, the ring finger 19, and the little finger 21 are inserted into the corresponding finger insertion portions 1 to 9 so as to be projected. When removing the gloves, as shown in FIG. 3, by grasping the grip portions 29 to 37 provided in the finger insertion portions 1 to 9 with the thumb 25 and the index finger 27 of the other hand and pulling them,
Since the finger insertion parts 1 to 9 can be pulled out from the fingers 13 to 21, the gloves can be easily removed from the hand 23.

Since it bends to the side opposite to the side), that is, the palm side (B side),
Since the grips 29 to 37 are provided near the open ends of the finger insertion parts 1 to 9 on the back side of the hand, the fingers 13 to 21 do not get in the way, and the grips 29 to 37 are easy to pick and pull. Further, since the gripping portions 29 to 37 are formed so as to project together from the gloved material forming the glove during cutting, the number of manufacturing steps does not increase, and it is difficult to increase the manufacturing cost.

限定されない。However, the glove of the present invention is provided with each gripping portion 29.
It is also possible to manufacture by knitting with a thread including ~ 37, and although not shown, each gripping part 29 to 37 created separately from the glove body 11 is provided near the open end of each finger inserting part 1 to 9. It is also possible to fix them by sewing, adhering or crimping. Further, the shape of each of the gripping portions 29 to 37 is arbitrary, such as a mountain shape, a trapezoidal shape, a square shape, and a string. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the grips 29 to 37 are projected from the vicinity of the open ends of the finger insertion parts 1 to 9 on the back side of the hand, but the present invention is not limited to this.

である。For example, as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 2, when the grips 29 to 37 are formed on the back of the hand so that the back of the hand projects obliquely, the grips 29 to 3 are formed.
7 can be formed relatively large, and these can be easily picked. If you cut the palm side like the broken line in Fig. 2,
The grips 29 to 37 can be formed on the back side of the hand. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, it is possible to project the grip portions 29 to 37 on the gusset portion 39 of each finger insertion portion 1 to 9.

た方が好ましい。Further, each finger insertion portion 1 without the gusset portion 39 is provided.
5-9, as shown in FIG. 5B, if the glove materials are tied together by sewing or bonding up to about 5-6, 7 mm from the end of each finger insertion portion 1-9, it is grasped on both the back side and the palm side of the hand. The parts 29 to 37 can be easily formed, the back side of the hand and the palm side can be alternately pulled, and similarly, the finger insertion parts 1 to 9 can be easily pulled out from the fingers 13 to 21.
In the present invention, the thumb 13, the index finger 15,
It is not necessary to provide the grip portions 13 to 21 on all the finger insertion portions 1 to 9 corresponding to the middle finger 17, the ring finger 19, and the little finger 21, respectively.
The object of the present invention can be achieved by providing the gripping portions 13 to 21 on at least one finger insertion portion 1 to 9 cut in the middle according to the application. However, it is preferable to provide the plurality of finger insertion portions 1 to 9.
