Description

  The present invention relates to a thimble, and more particularly to a ring-shaped thimble used by being fitted to a finger.

  A thimble is a tool used to fit a finger and push the needle head when sewing or patchwork. Among these thimbles, for example, a ring type that fits in the middle finger is known. FIG. 4 shows a conventional example of such a ring-type thimble. The thimble X shown in the figure is made of a metal base material 9, and the base material 9 is formed in a ring shape having a predetermined width. The thimble X is provided with a plurality of recesses 91 into which the head of the needle fits over the entire outer peripheral surface. The thimble X is suitable for use when performing hand movement while pressing the side of the finger against the head of the needle during sewing. When the thimble X is pressed against the needle head, the needle head fits into one of the recesses 91, so that the needle can be pushed without slipping. Further, since the thimble X is made of metal, even if it is pressed against the needle with a strong force, the finger is not damaged.

  However, since the thimble having the above-described configuration is made of metal, the fit feeling at the time of wearing is not so good. For this reason, during use, the thimble tends to be easily displaced, such as moving in the insertion direction of the finger or rotating in the circumferential direction. Thus, the conventional thimbles have room for improvement in terms of wearing feeling and usability.

  The present invention has been conceived under such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a ring-shaped thimble that is more comfortable to wear and has improved usability.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following technical means.

  The thimble provided by the present invention is characterized by having a leather band and sewing the ends of the band in the longitudinal direction into a ring shape.

  According to the thimble having such a configuration, since it is formed in a leather ring shape, it has a certain degree of stretchability and flexibility of inner diameter. For this reason, when using a thimble, it fits snugly on the finger and is excellent in wearing comfort. In the case of a leather thimble, even if the side surface of the finger is pressed against the head of the needle through the thimble, the needle will not slip due to the flexibility of the leather material. In addition, since the thimble fits the finger, it does not deviate in the finger insertion direction or the circumferential direction, and is easy to use.

  Further, the thimble having the above-described configuration is formed by stitching the longitudinal ends of the leather band material, and thus is a substantially uniform endless ring in the circumferential direction. Therefore, at the time of mounting on the finger, the finger can be appropriately protected regardless of the position of the thimble in the circumferential direction with respect to the finger.

  In a preferred embodiment, the band material is configured such that a plurality of pieces overlap each other by folding a leather sheet body extending in a band shape with a certain width in the short direction. According to such a configuration, since a plurality of pieces are laminated, the strength of the portion that presses the head of the needle is substantially increased as compared with, for example, a single piece of leather, and the use is repeated. However, it is possible to prevent the needle from penetrating in the thickness direction of the thimble.

  In a preferred embodiment, the leather sheet body is folded so that the skin side is exposed. According to such a configuration, the appearance appearance of the thimble is improved.

  In a preferred embodiment, a reinforcing piece is provided between the plurality of partial pieces. According to such a configuration, the strength of the portion that pushes the head of the needle is further increased, and the situation where the needle penetrates can be prevented more appropriately.

  Other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the detailed description given below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

  1 to 2 show an embodiment of a thimble according to the present invention. The thimble A of this embodiment has a band 1 obtained by cutting artificial leather or natural leather, and a ring having a predetermined width by stitching the longitudinal ends 1a and 1b of the band 1 together. It is what was made.

  As shown well in FIG. 2, the band material 1 is formed by folding a single leather sheet body 10 in a double manner so that the two pieces 11 and 12 located on the inner side and the outer side of the ring shape overlap each other. It is composed of. Here, the leather sheet body 10 is folded so that the skin side is exposed as the surface of the partial pieces 11 and 12. For example, a leather reinforcing piece 13 is sandwiched between the piece pieces 11 and 12.

  An example of the procedure for producing the thimble A is as follows. First, as shown in FIG. 3A, a leather sheet body 10 extending in a strip shape with a certain width is prepared, and the short side of the leather sheet body 10 is prepared. The reinforcing piece 13 is placed on one end side in the direction. Next, by folding the other end of the leather sheet 10 in the short direction so as to cover the reinforcing piece 13, the reinforcing piece 13 is interposed between the partial pieces 11 and 12 as shown in FIG. Will be sandwiched. Next, as shown in FIG. 3C, for example, the reinforcing pieces 13 are joined to the partial pieces 11, 12 by sewing the end portions in the short direction of the partial pieces 11, 12 along the longitudinal direction. The band material 1 has a three-layer structure sandwiched therebetween. Instead of the above configuration, these triple stacked structures may be configured by adhering the pieces 11 and 12 of the leather sheet body 10 to the reinforcing piece 13. Here, it cuts so that the transversal direction edge part of the strip | belt material 1 may be arrange | equalized as needed. And the thimble A which appears in FIG. 1 is obtained by rounding the strip 1 along the longitudinal direction, butting both ends 1a and 1b in the longitudinal direction together and stitching.

  In the thimble A of this embodiment, since it is made into a leather ring shape, it has some stretchability and has flexibility of inner diameter. For this reason, when using the thimble A, the thimble A fits snugly with the finger and has an excellent wearing feeling. In the case of the leather thimble A, even if the side surface of the finger is pressed against the head of the needle through the thimble A, the needle does not slip due to the flexibility of the leather material. In addition, since the thimble A fits the finger, it does not deviate in the finger insertion direction or the circumferential direction, and is easy to use.

  The thimble A of the present embodiment is formed by stitching the longitudinal ends 1a, 1b of the leather band 1 so as to form a substantially uniform endless ring in the circumferential direction. Therefore, at the time of wearing on the finger, the finger can be appropriately protected regardless of the position of the thimble A in the circumferential direction with respect to the finger.

  The band material 1 is configured such that the pieces 11 and 12 overlap each other by folding a leather sheet 10 extending in a band shape with a certain width in the short direction. Thereby, since the partial pieces 11 and 12 are in a laminated state, the strength of the portion that presses the head of the needle is substantially increased as compared with, for example, a single piece of leather. Therefore, even if it is used repeatedly, a situation in which the needle penetrates in the thickness direction of the thimble A can be prevented.

  In this embodiment, since the reinforcing piece 13 is provided between the piece pieces 11 and 12, the strength of the portion that pushes the head of the needle is further increased, and the situation where the needle penetrates can be prevented more appropriately. be able to.

  In the present embodiment, the leather sheet body 10 is folded so that the skin side is exposed, so that the appearance of the thimble A is improved.

  Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. The specific shape and material of each part of the thimble according to the present invention are not limited to the above embodiment.

  The band material is not limited to a structure in which a single leather sheet body 10 is folded twice as in the above-described embodiment. For example, according to the thickness of the leather sheet body, the leather sheet body is It is good also as a structure folded in triple or more. Further, the band material may be configured by stacking a plurality of leather sheets made of different bodies, or may be used without folding or stacking a single piece of leather.

  The reinforcing piece is not limited to leather as in the above embodiment, but may be made of other materials such as resin. Whether or not to provide the reinforcing piece is a matter of choice and may not be provided.

  Furthermore, the thimble according to the present invention can be prepared in a plurality of sizes such as L size, M size, and S size, for example, according to the thickness of the user's finger.
