Description

  The present invention relates to a glove having a heating function, and particularly to a glove having a heating function suitable for a rider.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is known a glove in which a heater using a resistor for a glove is arranged on a glove and a current is supplied from a power source to warm a hand in a cold region. The glove described in Patent Document 1 is arranged along a finger using a single resistance wire, and is connected to a power source to supply power. In the glove described in Patent Document 2, a glove is composed of a laminated material composed of an outer skin, a middle skin, and an inner skin, and a conductive metal wire having a fiber length of 100 to 800 mm and a non-conductive wire are formed on the surface of the middle skin. A blended yarn with fibers, which is formed by sewing exothermic yarns twisted with a lower twisting coefficient of 5500 to 13500 so as to cover the entire palm, is used as a heating element. Thus, in a glove using a heating element so as to cover most of the fingers, there is a high possibility that the heating element using the resistance wire is disconnected due to bending and stretching of the fingers, and there is a problem in long-term use. Moreover, although the glove described in patent document 3 has arrange | positioned the heating wire in series from the back of the hand to the upper surface side of each finger, since a big bending is added to a heating wire with respect to bending of a finger, There is a problem that wire breakage is likely to occur if the wire is bent and stretched frequently. As in Patent Documents 4 and 5, there are gloves that do not place resistance wires on the fingers, but in cold weather, if the fingertips feel cold, blood circulation does not spread sufficiently, and the effect of gloves used for heating the corners There is a problem that dissatisfaction that is not enough.

Further, in the finger portion, the tape-like resistor is arranged so as to surround the finger portion in a spiral shape, and thus it is difficult to receive a large pulling force against the bending of the finger. Furthermore, the heating body has a tape-shaped synthetic resin film as a base material, resistor layers are formed on both surfaces thereof, and both surfaces are provided with a tape-shaped synthetic resin film insulation coating wider than the base material. Therefore, it is flexible, and is easier to place on the surface of the cloth inner glove part than using a linear resistor, and has the effect of being able to disperse the stress received due to its width.

  FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing an outline of a glove of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is an inner glove part, 2 is an outer glove part, 3 is a leader line, and 4 is a connection terminal. In FIG. 1, the inner glove part 1 is illustrated with a thin line, and the outer glove part 2 is illustrated with a thick line. The inner glove part 1 is made of cloth and may be woven, knitted, non-woven fabric, or the like. Any material may be used for the yarn, but it may be used for general gloves. The shape of the inner glove part 1 is the same as that of a normal five-finger glove. When roughly classified, the five bag-like finger parts corresponding to the inserted fingers and the back of the inserted hand are covered. It consists of the back part of the hand, the palm part that covers the palm to be inserted, and the wrist part that surrounds the inserted wrist part. And integrated. A tape-like resistor is disposed on the surface of the inner glove part 1 as will be described later, but is not shown in FIG. The outer glove part 2 has the same shape as the inner glove part 1, is formed slightly larger than the inner glove part 1, and the inner glove part 1 covers the outside of the inner glove part 1 on which the tape-shaped resistor is disposed. Is provided on the outer side of the inner glove part 1. The material of the outer glove part 2 is desirably waterproof, and may or may not have a seam formed using an appropriate material such as artificial leather, natural leather, or sheet-like synthetic resin. . The lead wire 3 is a lead wire that is connected to the above-described tape-like resistor and supplies power to the tape-like resistor inside the glove, and a connection terminal 4 is provided at the tip thereof. The connection end 4 is provided for connection to a power source, but a temperature controller or the like may be incorporated. The lead wire 3 is not necessarily required, and the connection terminal 4 may be directly attached to the inner glove part 1 or the outer glove part 2. The connection terminal 4 is connected to a power line from a battery or the like.

  2A and 2B are diagrams for explaining the tape-shaped resistor used in the present invention, in which FIG. 2A is a plan view and FIG. 2B is an explanatory diagram of a layer structure. In the figure, 5 is a substrate, 6 is a resistor layer, 7 is an insulation coating, and 8 is a tape-shaped resistor. The tape-shaped resistor 8 has a resistor layer 6 formed on both surfaces of a tape-shaped synthetic resin film substrate 6, and a tape-shaped synthetic resin film insulation coating 7 wider than the substrate 5 on both surfaces. Are laminated. As shown in FIG. 2 (A), both ends of the tape-shaped resistor 8 are not laminated with an insulating coating 7 for electrical connection, and are formed on the surface of the substrate 5. Layer 6 is exposed. In this example, the resistor layer 9 is formed on both sides of the substrate 6, but the resistor layer 9 may not be formed on both sides.

  The layer structure shown in FIG. 2 (B) is a tape-shaped synthetic resin film on both surfaces of the cross-sectional view in which the resistor layer 6 is formed on both surfaces of the base material 6 of the tape-shaped synthetic resin film. The sectional view of the insulating coating 7 is shown in a state where it is not attached separately. The insulating coating 7 is laminated by adhesion or the like from both sides of the base material 6 on which the resistor layer 6 is formed, thereby forming the tape-shaped resistor 8 shown in FIG. Therefore, since the insulating coatings 7 and 7 are bonded to each other at both sides of the tape-shaped resistor 1, the resistor layer 3 can be sealed.

  In the embodiment, the substrate 6 is a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) film having a thickness of 10 μm and a width of 4 mm. However, the substrate 6 is not limited to a PET film, but PEN (polyethylene 2,6-naphthalate), Synthetic resin films such as PI (polyimide), PEI (polyetherimide), and PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) can be used. Although dimensions such as width may be appropriate, considering flexibility, the width is 8 mm or less, preferably 6 mm or less, and more preferably 5 mm or less. However, in terms of measures against disconnection, there is a problem that if the width is too narrow, it is likely to be cut and the resistance value is increased, so that it is preferably 2 mm or more, more preferably 3 mm or more. Accordingly, a width of 3 to 5 mm is the most preferable range. The resistor layer 6 is formed of an Ag paste, and is formed on both surfaces of the substrate 5 by coating and drying. In the examples, an epoxy-based Ag paste was used as the Ag paste. The conductive particles are not limited to Ag, and metal particles having an appropriate specific resistance such as Cu and Ni can be used.

  The insulating coating 7 uses a synthetic resin film wider than the base material 5. As the material, polyimide tape was used, and in the examples, Kapton (registered trademark) tape was used. Kapton (registered trademark) tape is a desirable material in terms of high heat resistance, flame retardancy, dielectric breakdown strength, and flexibility. However, it is not limited to polyimide, and synthetic resin such as PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PEN (polyethylene 2,6-naphthalate), PI (polyimide), PEI (polyetherimide), PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) is used. be able to. When the same material is used for the base material 5 and the insulating coating 7, it is possible to bond them by high frequency fusion. The width of the insulating coating 7 is preferably 1 to 2 mm on both sides with respect to the width of the base material 5 from the viewpoint of ensuring insulation. Of course, it may be 2 mm or more. In laminating the insulating coating 7, a synthetic resin film with an adhesive can also be used. Silicone and acrylic adhesives may be used, and silicone and acrylic adhesives are effective in the case of a polyimide tape.

  3 and 4 are diagrams for explaining an example of the arrangement pattern of the heating elements. FIG. 3 is a plan view seen from the back side of the hand, and FIG. 4 is a plan view seen from the palm side. In the figure, 1 is an inner glove part, 8a-8e are tape-shaped resistors, and 9a, 9b are common connection lines. For each glove on one side, a heating element is configured using five tape resistors 8a to 8e. The tape-shaped resistor 8a corresponds to the thumb, the tape-shaped resistor 8b corresponds to the edible finger, the tape-shaped resistor 8c corresponds to the middle finger, the tape-shaped resistor 8d corresponds to the ring finger, and the tape-shaped resistor 8e corresponds to the little finger. Each tape-shaped resistor consists of an inner glove as a part that heats the fingers inserted in a spiral and a part of the tape-shaped resistor arranged on the back side of the hand up to the fingers. It is arranged on the surface of the part 1. And one end of each tape-shaped resistor 8a-8e is connected to the common connection line 9a, and the other end is connected to the common connection line 9b. That is, each tape-shaped resistor 8a to 8e has, on the surface of the inner glove part 1, the back side of the hand of the wrist part as one end, and spirally surrounds one of the finger parts and becomes the other end on the back side of the hand of the wrist part. Are arranged on the surface of the inner glove part 1 and one end and the other end are respectively connected to two common connection lines provided along the circumference of the wrist part on the surface of the wrist part. Has been. The number of turns surrounding the finger may be appropriate, but about 3 to 4 turns is sufficient. In this embodiment, no tape-like resistor is disposed on the palm. In the case of a rider, since a large force may be exerted on the palm, it is desirable not to arrange a tape-like resistor in the palm.

  The size of the inner glove part 1, in particular, the size of the finger part, including the thickness, needs to have a margin with respect to the inserted hand, and depending on the inserted hand, It is necessary to make the tape-like resistor arranged on the surface of the inner glove part 1 so as not to be stretched. Moreover, in the tape-shaped resistor arranged in the finger part, the part arranged in the longitudinal direction is arranged on the side surface side that is the side of the finger part, so that the tape is against the bending of the finger. It is possible to reduce the influence of the elongation that the resistor is subjected to, and it is effective for resistance change and disconnection.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of an example of a method of arranging a tape-shaped resistor on the surface of the inner glove part. In the figure, 8 is a tape-shaped resistor, and 10 is a sewing thread. In this example, the tape-like resistor 8 is stopped by the sewing thread 10 on the surface of the inner glove part. The portion 10 a of the sewing thread 10 that passes obliquely with respect to the tape-shaped resistor 8 passes through the front side of the tape-shaped resistor 8, and the portion 10 b that is substantially parallel to the tape-shaped resistor 8 is the tape-shaped resistor 8. The outer glove is sewn to the inner glove part at a remote position. It is preferable that the back portion 10b is made small so that the portion where the sewing thread 10 comes out on the back side of the inner glove portion is made as small as possible. Therefore, the tape-shaped resistor 8 is not fixed in the longitudinal direction with respect to the surface of the inner glove part, and is relatively movable. Further, by increasing the distance between the portion 10b and the edge of the tape-shaped resistor 8, the tape-shaped resistor 8 is not fixed in the width direction with respect to the surface of the inner glove part, and can be moved relatively. Become. In FIG. 5 (A), the portion 10b is sewed back, but as shown in FIG. 5 (B), the portion 10b may be sewed in the feeding direction. Since the tape-like resistor 8 is movable relative to the surface of the inner glove part, the stress applied to the tape-like resistor 8 can be dispersed, so that local stress is not concentrated on a part. It is effective against resistance change and disconnection.

  6 and 7 are explanatory views of another example of the method of arranging the tape-shaped resistor on the surface of the inner glove part, FIG. 6 is a plan view seen from the back side of the hand, and FIG. 7 is seen from the palm side. FIG. 6 and 7, the positions where the tape-shaped resistors 8 a to 8 e are arranged on the surface of the inner glove part 1 are illustrated by dotted lines, and the double-sided adhesive tape 11 is illustrated by a solid line. In this example, the tape-like resistor is stopped on the surface of the inner glove part by the double-sided adhesive tape 11. The arrangement pattern of the double-sided adhesive tape 11 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 corresponds to the arrangement pattern of the tape-like resistor in FIGS. 3 and 4, and the double-sided adhesive tape 11 has an appropriate width, for example, about 5 to 10 mm. The tape-shaped resistor is provided so as to be partially bonded with a width of 5 mm. In order to simplify the manufacturing process, the double-sided adhesive tape 11 only needs to partially adhere the tape-like resistor, and therefore the double-sided adhesive tape 11 is provided so as to intersect the arrangement pattern of the tape-like resistor. It is good. In a finger part, it is good to be provided in the side. As will be described later, since the outer glove part is put on the inner glove part in which the tape-like resistor is disposed, the tape-like resistor is held by sandwiching the inner glove part between the outer glove parts. . Therefore, the attachment of the tape-shaped resistor 8 with the double-sided adhesive tape 11 only needs to be effective when the outer glove part is put on, and after the outer glove part is put on, the adhesive effect is not so important. Absent. However, if the binding force by the double-sided adhesive tape 11 is large, the tape-like resistor cannot be moved. Therefore, the tape-like resistor is bonded to the surface of the inner glove part so as to partially adhere the tape-like resistor. It is better to be able to move relative to As a result, the stress applied to the tape-like resistor can be dispersed, so that local stresses can be avoided from concentrating on a part, and effective against resistance change and disconnection. The portion of the double-sided adhesive tape 11 that does not cross the tape-shaped resistor has an adhesive surface exposed, so that when the outer glove is covered, the outer glove is prevented from sticking to the exposed portion. Therefore, after arranging the tape-shaped resistor, it is preferable to bond the single-sided adhesive tape that is slightly wider than the double-sided adhesive tape so as to cover the double-sided adhesive tape 11.

  FIG. 8 is a process diagram for explaining an example of a method of connecting the tape-shaped resistor 8 to the common connection lines 9a and 9b. In this connection example, the lead wire 3 shown in FIG. 1 is used as a common connection line. However, a line different from the common connection line is prepared as a common connection line, and the attachment of the common connection line is completed. After covering, a lead line with a connection terminal may be connected to the common connection line.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, common connection lines 9a and 9b are prepared for the inner glove part 1 on each of the left side and the right side. In this step, as described above, the inner glove part 1 has the tape-like resistor 8 disposed on the surface thereof, and the base material provided with the resistor layer is provided at the end of each tape-like resistor 8. It is exposed as a connection.

  The common connection line 9 is formed of a plurality of fine metal wires. As the metal thin wire, a stranded wire of about 10 to 30 cores used for a cord of an electric appliance or the like may be used. In FIG. 8B, the common connection line 9 is divided into three parts, two of the divided parts are the lower side, and one of the central parts is the upper side, and one end side of the tape-like resistor 8 wound around the little finger therebetween. The connecting portions 8f are sandwiched, and the three divided portions are assembled as shown in FIG. 8C, and then twisted together. When the next connection portion on one end side of the tape-shaped resistor 8 wound around the ring finger is twisted, the connection portion on one end side of the tape-shaped resistor 8 is sandwiched in the same manner and twisted together. Similarly, one end side of all the tape-shaped resistors is sandwiched between the common connection lines 9a to complete the connection.

  FIG. 8D shows a protection process of the connection portion. The exposed portion of the connecting portion 8f of the tape-like resistor is attached from both sides so that the polyimide tape 12 with adhesive is folded in the vertical direction. This step may be performed every time connection is performed at each connection location, or may be performed for all connection locations after connection at five locations is completed.

  FIG. 8E shows a fixing process of the connecting portion. The common connection line and the connection location are reinforced by folding the insulating tape 13 and then fixed to the inner glove part 1. As the insulating tape, appropriate ones such as a polyimide tape with an adhesive, a film of other synthetic resin, a soft synthetic resin tape, and the like can be used. As a fixing method, adhesion may be used, or a sewing thread may be used as described in FIG. In the case of fixing with a sewing thread, it is preferable to sew the insulating tape 13 together, but the sewing is performed avoiding the tape-like resistor.

  A similar connection is made to the other common connection line 9b. In this way, the outer glove is put on the inner glove part on which the tape-shaped resistor is arranged on the surface, and the inner glove part and the hand insertion opening side of the outer glove are sewn together. The leader line is sewn and attached to the outer glove part, and one glove is completed. The same applies to the other glove.

  The method of connecting the tape-shaped resistor to the common connection line is not limited to the above-described method by twisting, and connection can be performed by an appropriate method such as using a conductive adhesive. Of course, in the connection method by twisting as described above, a conductive adhesive may be added to the twisted portion.

  The resistance values of the five tape-shaped resistors are set to substantially the same resistance value when almost uniform heating is required. A desired resistance value can be obtained by setting the length and the resistance value per unit length. Obviously, the resistance value of each tape-shaped resistor may be selected so as to have a temperature distribution.

  In addition, the term “adhesion” in the present specification is not limited to adhesion by a narrowly defined adhesive, but also includes adhesion by pressure-sensitive adhesive or pressure-sensitive adhesive, adhesion by welding, and the like. The term “adhesive” is also used to include pressure-sensitive adhesives and pressure-sensitive adhesives.
