Description

  The present invention relates to a scrubbing aid that can be worn on a person's finger to easily scrape a large volume of water when performing water activities such as swimming, surfing, snorkeling, aquabics, underwater walking, and river play.

  When a person tries to move or propel underwater such as a pool, it is common to walk on the bottom of the water with his feet or swim underwater. Wearing large fins to assist in swimming is commonly done in the field of snorkeling and diving, but there are few attempts to propel the water with large fins in the hands.

  On the other hand, there is an invention in which a water scraping aid is attached to a finger of a hand in order to increase resistance when the hand is scratched with water. Patent Document 1 discloses a watering assisting tool including a cylindrical part into which each of two adjacent fingers other than the thumb of a hand is inserted, and a plate-shaped watering part that connects between the cylindrical parts. Have been described. Patent Document 2 discloses a cylindrical rubber cylinder in which a rubber sheet is cut by an outer peripheral line connecting the tips of fingertips whose hands are spread, and five fingers of thumb to little finger are inserted on the surface of the rubber sheet. A kappa scooping with a rubber band sewn between the thumb and forefinger is described. Further, Patent Document 3 discloses a sheet-shaped webbed part that covers the entire back side of the hand, a finger stopper part that is provided on the back surface of the webbing part and fixes each finger, and a band part that is attached to the wrist.

  However, just attaching the scrubbing aid to two fingers as in Patent Document 1, the scuffing ability is insufficient, and there is a problem that the scuffing tool comes off the finger during use. In addition, when the rubber sheet is cut as in Patent Document 2, the entire hand becomes a scuffing portion, the resistance of the water becomes too large, and the scuffing portion is formed on the palm side, so that the hand is free. It becomes difficult, and the hands are fixed by the rubber band, so the freedom of the hands is lost, which may be dangerous. Also, in Patent Document 3, as in Patent Document 2, since the entire hand becomes a scuffing portion and there is no portion for escaping water, the resistance of water becomes too large. Further, in Patent Document 3, the scuffing portion is on the back of the hand. Therefore, in the state where the finger is folded as shown in FIG. 3 of Patent Document 3, the scooping portion is not folded together with the finger, and the protruding portion may come into contact with another person's face or the like, which may be dangerous.

  The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and has a function of draining water resistance so that the water resistance does not become too large, while having sufficient water scraping ability when a person intends to propel in water. Provided with a scrubbing aid that can be worn stably in the hand without any complicated structure, in addition to the freedom of hand, safe, sufficient strength and shape aesthetics It is.

  The present inventors have intensively studied in view of the above problems and created the following devices. That is, the present invention is a scrubbing aid that is used by attaching it to five fingers of a human hand. The scuffing aid is used for a thumb tube section and an index finger that can be inserted with five fingers separately. A cylindrical portion, a middle finger cylindrical portion, a ring finger cylindrical portion, and a little finger cylindrical portion are provided. Adjacent cylindrical portions in the five cylindrical portions are each formed by a substantially fan-shaped trapezoidal scooping portion having an outer peripheral arc and an inner peripheral arc. It is connected to the same plane, and the outer peripheral arc of the water scraping portion is formed so as to protrude to the outer peripheral side from the cylindrical portion, and the water scuffing assisting tool has a symmetrical structure that has the same shape even when worn on either the left or right hand. Is.

  In this way, a watering auxiliary tool composed of a substantially fan-shaped trapezoidal water scavenging part and five finger insertion cylinder parts connected thereby, and having a structure with an outer peripheral arc projecting, provides a sufficient water scavenging ability in water. In addition to being able to exert, excessive water resistance can be released by the space secured between the inner arc of the substantially fan-shaped trapezoid and the base of the finger.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that the outer peripheral arc of the water scraping portion and the outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion have a continuous curved shape, and by making such a shape, a sufficient scuffing force can be secured, and a curved line can be secured. However, the continuous shape also provides aesthetics.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that a groove portion recessed from both sides is included on the phantom line of the scraping portion connecting the center of the outer peripheral arc and the center of the inner peripheral arc. Further, the groove is not formed in the peripheral portion of the outer peripheral arc and the peripheral portion of the inner peripheral arc, and is 75 to 87% of the imaginary line in the central portion on the imaginary line. It is preferable that it is formed in order to further increase the effect of stably mounting on the hand and to secure a sufficient strength.

  In the present invention, the water scraping portion may be subjected to uneven processing from both sides, and the water scraping aid is preferably formed of a silicone rubber material.

  The present invention has the inventive configuration according to claim 1 so that the water resistance can be released so that the water resistance does not become too large while the person has sufficient water scraping ability when propelled in water. It can be used as a simple watering aid, and it can be stably attached to the hand without having a complicated structure such as a rubber band. A watering aid having

  The webbing aid of the present invention includes a thumb tube portion 1, an index finger tube portion 2, a middle finger tube portion 3, a ring finger tube portion 4 and a little finger tube portion 5 into which five fingers can be inserted separately. Adjacent cylinder parts in the five cylinder parts 1 to 5 are connected to the same plane by substantially fan-shaped trapezoidal scooping parts 11 to 14, respectively. Specifically, the thumb tube portion 1 and the index finger tube portion 2 are provided by the water scraping portion 11, and the index finger tube portion 2 and the middle finger tube portion 3 are provided by the water scraping portion 12, and the middle finger tube portion 3 and the ring finger tube portion 4 are provided. The ring finger portion 4 is connected to the ring finger portion 4 and the little finger tube portion 5 is connected to the water finger portion 14. Moreover, the said water scraping parts 11-14 are protruded and formed in the outer peripheral side rather than the cylinder parts 1-5.

  Each of the substantially fan-shaped trapezoidal scooping portions 11 to 14 has an outer peripheral arc and an inner peripheral arc, and is recessed from both sides of the front and back on a virtual line connecting the center of the outer peripheral arc and the center of the inner peripheral arc. Groove portions 21 to 24 are included. Furthermore, the watering aid has a symmetrical structure that is the same shape when worn on either the left or right hand. Moreover, the outer periphery arc of the said watering part and the outer periphery part of the said cylinder part become a continuous curve shape, an outer periphery arc draws a curve on the outer side, and a cylinder part draws a curve on the inner side.

  The cylindrical portions 1 to 5 are preferably shaped so that the fingers can be inserted and held and fixed, and as an example, the inner diameter decreases from the inner circumference toward the outer circumference. Further, in order to stop the inserted finger at the inner peripheral surface of the tube portion, the inner peripheral surface of the tube portion may be subjected to uneven processing having a non-slip function, or a non-slip material may be used. As the material of the cylindrical portions 1 to 5, it is suitable if it is soft and water-resistant such as vinyl, rubber, synthetic resin, etc., but a silicone rubber material is used from the viewpoint of strength, hand wearing feeling and anti-slip. Particularly preferred.

  Since the said water scraping parts 11-14 are the parts which scrape water while connecting the cylinder parts 1-5, they need to have water resistance and physical intensity | strength. On the other hand, if the thickness is increased to ensure strength, the freedom of the hand may not be obtained. Therefore, the thickness is preferably 0.5 to 4 mm, particularly preferably 1 to 3 mm. In addition, when forming a water scraping part and a cylinder part integrally with the same raw material, it is preferable that a cylinder part is the same thickness as a water scraping part.

  The water scraping portions 11 to 14 have a shape shown in FIGS. 1 to 10 and are substantially fan-shaped trapezoids having an outer peripheral arc and an inner peripheral arc. Thus, by making the outer peripheral part of the water scraping part into an arc shape projecting to the outer periphery, more water can be scraped and the design can be given by the curve. In addition, by providing an inner peripheral portion in the water scraping portion, when a person wears the water scraping assisting tool on the hand, a space is formed between the base of the finger and the inner peripheral portion, and this space is excessive water in the water. It can fulfill the function of releasing resistance.

  On the imaginary line connecting the center of the outer peripheral arc and the center of the inner peripheral arc, recessed groove portions 21 to 24 are included. The center here does not necessarily mean that it is always equidistant from the adjacent cylinder parts, but is a position that satisfies the overlapping of the cylinder parts when the water scraping part is folded using the imaginary line as a crease. is there.

  The groove portions 21 to 24 are grooves that are linearly processed into the water scraping portions 11 to 14. By forming a groove, it is bent at the part of the scooping part 11-14, and even when a swimming operation is performed to spread or grip the hand with a scrubbing aid, sufficient freedom of the hand is secured can do. It is preferable that these groove parts 21-24 are formed from the front and back both sides of the water scraping parts 11-14. It is because it can respond to a mountain fold and a valley fold by operation | movement of a hand, and can be used for both the left and right hands.

  Moreover, although the groove parts 21-24 should just be formed on the said virtual line in the water scraping parts 11-14, it is preferable that the position is a center part of the whole temporary wire, and 75-87 with respect to temporary wire. % Length is preferred. This is because the strength of the water scraping portion in water can be sufficiently ensured although it depends on the material, as compared with the case where the groove portions are provided at both ends of the temporary wire. The thickness of the water scraping portion in the portion where the groove portion is formed is preferably 10 to 60% where the groove portion is not formed, and preferably 20 to 50%. The cross-sectional shape of the groove is preferably semicircular or rectangular. Further, it is more preferable to provide a thick width portion for securing strength on the outer peripheral arc and the inner peripheral arc of the water scraping portions 11 to 14.

The above-mentioned watering aid can be manufactured by general rubber molding, and can be realized by direct pressure molding using a mold, injection molding, or the like.
Forming fine irregularities (not shown) on both the front and back sides of the water scraping portions 11 to 14 increases the resistance to water, and even if it is an auxiliary tool for water scraping, it is possible to exert a great water scraping ability. It becomes. As the size of the unevenness processing, it is preferable that the one having 1 to 3 mm is formed at a pitch of 1 to 3 mm.

  The watering aid of the present invention can be implemented as long as it is a soft material capable of maintaining a certain shape, and a silicon-based material is particularly preferable. Further, it may be transparent, semi-transparent or non-transparent, but semi-transparent is preferable from the viewpoints of aesthetics and safety.

  As explained above, in the present invention, since the water scraping portions 11 to 14 are substantially fan-shaped trapezoids protruding to the outer periphery, when a person tries to propel in the water, it can have a sufficient water scraping ability, Furthermore, it is possible to release the water resistance so that the resistance of the water does not become too large, and it is possible to provide a watering assisting tool that is easy to use and that has sufficient strength.
