Description

  The present invention relates to a glove for protecting artificial nails such as nail tips and sculptures, or nails with various decorations including nail polish.

  Traditionally, as a fashion, stretch your nails (hereinafter referred to as “self nails”) long, glue long nails (nail chips) to your nails, or decorate your nails or false nails with sculptures, etc. Is done. Such decorations (including the adhesion of nail tips) can enhance fashionability, but on the other hand, in everyday life using the hand, the extended nails are a hindrance. In some cases, it was difficult to work.

  For example, when the self-nails or the attached nail chips are extended for a long time, it is necessary to take care not to catch the nails in office work such as keyboard operation or housework such as cooking. In addition, when nails are extended for a long time or when the surface of the nail is decorated with irregularities, the hair may be caught on the long nail or the surface of the nail during bathing, especially when washing the hair. May peel off or the decoration on the surface of the nail may peel off.

Therefore, several techniques have been proposed so far in order to eliminate such inconvenience at the time of shampooing.
For example, in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-200820), a shampoo that efficiently conveys light finger pressure to the scalp by providing a convex protrusion on the finger pad of a glove and fixing the finger pad at the contact part. Therefore, there has been proposed a glove for washing hair that is provided with a nail bag so as to protect the nail and efficiently wash the entire scalp with a light force without applying pressure to the nail.

  Moreover, in patent document 2 (Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2003-19022), while protecting a nail, it can shampoo without injuring a scalp, and also has a massage function, In order to provide the finger touch for nail protection, Concave and convex portions are provided on the finger pad portion of the finger cut off at the tip, and the back of the finger touch and the thumb for the thumb are up to the second joint, and hooks are provided at the bases of each finger. Finger nail protection has been proposed.

  Furthermore, a nail protection member that can be used for purposes other than shampooing is proposed in, for example, Patent Document 3 (Utility Model Registration No. 3131817). That is, in Patent Document 3, a glove that covers each finger, a protective part that protects the long nail of the finger that is inserted into the glove, and a first part of the finger that is formed integrally with the protective part, from the front side A nail protection member has been proposed which has a protective piece provided with a holding portion for holding the pin, and is attached to the inner surface of each fingertip side of the glove.

JP 2005-200820 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-19022 Utility Model Registration No. 3131817

  As described above, various nail protection members have been proposed in terms of protecting nails (including self nails and artificial nails, the same applies hereinafter). In particular, techniques disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 have been proposed for protecting nails during hair washing.

However, any technique covers or protects the surface side of the nail, and cannot be used or expected to have a sufficient protective effect when the front side of the nail surface is decorated with unevenness. Is the actual situation.
Therefore, the first object of the present invention is to provide a glove that can effectively protect the surface of the nail even when the surface of the nail is decorated with unevenness.

In the past, a technique for protecting the nail surface during hair washing has been proposed, but the fact is that no study has been made on improving the ease of hair washing and various operations.
Therefore, a second object of the present invention is to provide a glove that can perform various operations including hair washing without trouble, not only by protecting nails but also by nails that have been stretched or decorated.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventor has made extensive developments. As a result of supporting and supporting the lower surface of the nail that extends beyond the tip of the toe, the inventor can protect various nails while also protecting various kinds of daily life and office work. The present inventors have found that the work is not hindered and have completed the gloves of the present invention.

That is, although the glove concerning this invention can be used for various uses, it is a glove suitably used mainly at the time of hair washing (that is, when performing shampoo and rinse),
A glove body composed of a palm bag portion for containing a palm, and a finger bag into which at least one finger can be placed;
It consists of a support member that is housed at the tip of the finger bag and holds the lower surface of the nail,
The finger bag in which the support member is accommodated is formed longer in the axial direction than the fingertip of the finger entering the support bag, and the support member is accommodated in the space of the finger bag that is formed longer than the fingertip. It is characterized by.

  This glove body is composed of a palm bag part for inserting a palm and a finger bag for inserting at least one finger, and at least one of the finger bags is one of a thumb, an index finger, a middle finger, a ring finger, and a little finger. Formed to contain only books. As a matter of course, five finger bags (thumb bag, index finger bag, middle finger bag, ring finger bag, little finger bag) in which the five fingers are accommodated one by one may be provided, and only the thumb enters. A thumb bag and a finger bag into which other fingers can be put together may be provided, or only an index finger bag, a middle finger bag, and a ring finger bag may be provided.

  At least one of the finger bags, that is, the thumb bag, the index finger bag, the middle finger bag, the ring finger bag, or the little finger bag is long and preferably extended so that there is a space ahead of the fingertip of the finger entering there. It is formed to a length that can accommodate In addition, a support member described later is accommodated in a portion formed longer than the fingertip, that is, inside the extension portion (internal space) in order to hold the lower surface of the nail.

  This glove body functions to hold a support member, which will be described later, on the lower surface of the nail, as well as to make it possible to easily place the support member below the nail surface of each finger. That is, if it is sufficient to simply hold the support member under the nail surface, it is considered that a finger sack or the like is attached to each finger, and a support member is provided at the tip of the finger sack. However, in this case, it is necessary to perform the mounting operation for each finger, that is, for up to 10 fingers, which is extremely troublesome at the time of use. Therefore, in the present invention, the finger bag (preferably all the finger bags) in the glove body is extended in the length direction, and a support member described later is provided in the extended portion, so that the support member can be attached and detached. It can be carried out at once with the attachment and detachment.

  In addition, the glove body (including the finger bag portion) has a water-permeable or air-permeable fabric, or a plurality of air-permeable or water-permeable materials. It is desirable to use a perforated sheet in which holes are formed. This is to prevent germs and the like from growing in the glove body and to eliminate discomfort during use due to water entering the glove body. If formed in this way, it can be suitably used even when washing hair or using water for cooking or the like. However, the inner surface on the back side (back side) of the finger bag is preferably formed of a material such as rubber or vinyl that does not easily catch the nail. This is in order to eliminate the catch of the nail during wearing and to wear it smoothly.

  A support member for holding the lower surface of the nail is provided in any or all of the finger bags in the glove body.

  Such a support member is present on the tip side of the finger bag in the glove body, and holds the lower surface of the nail, and a region for holding the lower surface of the nail (that is, a “nail contact portion” described later) is a fingertip. It is formed to have the same length or longer than the nail extended from. Here, the length of the nail varies depending on the individual or the artificial nail used, and it is desirable to adjust the length according to each. However, since the glove according to the present invention is preferably used with a nail that is extended to a length that feels trouble or inconvenience in daily life including hair washing, a region that holds the lower surface of the nail in the support member ( That is, it is desirable that the “nail abutment portion” described later is formed to have a length capable of supporting the lower surface of the nail extending 5 mm or more, further 10 mm or more, particularly 15 mm or more from the fingertip. For example, if the length of the area supporting the lower surface of the nail in the support member is 10 mm, the lower surface of the nail extending from the fingertip to a length of about 10 mm or less can be supported. If the length is 30 mm, the lower surface of the nail extending from the fingertip to a length of about 30 mm or less can be supported. Therefore, it is conceivable to prepare a large number of regions that support the lower surface of the nail in the support member, such as 10 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm, and 35 mm, which are standardized to a certain length.

  The support member preferably includes a nail abutting portion configured to be in surface contact with the lower surface of the nail so that the lower surface of the nail extending from the fingertip can be reliably supported. For example, the nail abutting portion can be formed in a flat surface or a flat surface, in addition to being formed in a shape that follows the shape of the lower surface of the nail.

  The support member is preferably formed in a shape that fills the space between the fingertip and the lower surface of the nail extending beyond the fingertip. That is, it is desirable to form in a shape that fills the space from the abdomen of the finger to the toe. Normally, there will be a space under the fingernail that extends from the fingertip, but by filling this space, the nail part that extends beyond the fingertip can act in the same way as the finger. Because of that. In this regard, if the lower surface of the nail that extends beyond the fingertips is a space, it must be washed at the abdomen of the finger when washing the hair, and the extended nail is simply an obstruction at the time of washing the hair. As a result, it becomes difficult to wash the hair. However, like the glove of the present invention, the support member is formed so as to fill the space on the lower surface side of the nail, and by placing this on the lower side of the nail, it is used in the same way as the finger up to the toe. Therefore, the trouble at the time of work by a long nail | claw can be eliminated.

  In addition, the support member is configured by a nail holder formed to contact the lower surface of the nail extending from the fingertip, and a base that is connected to the nail holder and contacts the abdomen of the finger. Can do. By providing a base in contact with the abdomen of the finger, it is possible to disperse the extended nail, that is, the force acting on the support member, on the finger, so that the range to the nail tip can be used with the same feeling as the finger it can. In particular, it is desirable to form the base that comes into contact with the abdomen of the finger so as to be in contact with the middle of the last node existing between the fingertip and the first joint or in the vicinity of the first joint. Therefore, as a whole, it is desirable that the support member is formed to have a length from approximately the middle of the terminal node existing between the fingertip and the first joint to the toe, or from the vicinity of the first joint to the toe.

  In addition, it is desirable that the support member is provided with a side wall portion that sandwiches at least one side surface of the nail and the finger on at least one side surface of the nail contact portion and the base portion. By holding the side surface of the nail or the fingertip or the side surface of the nail and the fingertip with the side wall portion, the support member can be securely fixed to the fingertip. This is because it can be used with the same feeling. That is, it is possible to do the same thing as a fingertip, such as grasping or pushing an object in the area where the support member exists. As a result, the scalp can be massaged and washed with the support member even when the nails are long, for example, during hair washing.

  The support member can be formed of various materials such as natural resin and synthetic resin. Desirably, the support member desirably has a certain elasticity, such as foamable resin, rubber component-containing resin, natural rubber, synthetic rubber, cork. It is desirable to form using etc. The support member is accommodated at the tip of the finger pouch, and is desirably adhered to the inner peripheral surface of the finger pouch in at least any region except the finger contact surface. In the support member thus installed, a space (nail accommodating space) for accommodating the nail can be secured between the finger holding surface and the inner surface of the finger bag above the finger holding surface. Therefore, when the glove is worn, the nail can be protected by the support member by inserting the extended nail into the nail housing space. In particular, the upper surface of the nail storage space is the inner surface of the finger bag, and since it is continuously connected from the flat bag part, if you insert the extended nail toe to slide the inner surface of the glove, Without special positioning, it can be reliably guided into the nail accommodating space. In addition, this support member can also be integrally molded in a finger bag when manufacturing gloves.

  When the glove is used particularly for hair washing, it is desirable to provide at least one of a protrusion and a brush on the finger pad portion (that is, palm side or front side) of the finger bag of the glove body. When the protrusion is provided, the scalp can be massaged at the time of washing the hair, and when the brush is provided, the scalp and hair can be more effectively cleaned. In particular, such protrusions and brushes can be formed not only on the belly portion of the finger in the finger bag, but also on the region where the support member is provided, that is, on the back side portion of the nail extending from the fingertip. As a result, protrusions and brushes can be provided over a wide range, and hair can be washed efficiently.

The glove of the present invention is preferably used mainly at the time of shampooing, but is not necessarily limited to the use of shampooing, for example, daily work use such as cooking and washing, keyboard operation, etc. It can also be used for office work. That is, even a glove used for purposes other than shampooing is included in the technical scope of the present invention as long as the glove body and the support member described above are provided.
Therefore, as a glove that does not limit the use, a glove body consisting of a palm bag part for holding a palm, a finger bag for holding at least one finger, and a support that is accommodated at the tip of the finger bag and holds the lower surface of the nail The finger pouch comprising the member and accommodating the support member is formed longer in the axial direction than the fingertip of the finger entering the support, and the support member is disposed in the space of the finger pouch formed longer than the fingertip. Also included in the present invention is a glove characterized by being housed.

  In the present specification, the term “nail” simply includes a self-nail and an artificial nail, and it does not matter whether or not the surface has an uneven decoration. Means nails extending longer.

  According to the glove according to the present invention, not only can the nails be protected, but also nails extending from the fingertips can be used effectively, and hair washing and other operations can be performed as if the fingers were extended. .

  By protecting the lower surface of the nail with the support member as described above, damage such as breakage of the nail during work can be prevented. In particular, since the support member according to the present invention supports the lower surface of the nail, even when a three-dimensional decoration is applied to the surface (upper surface) of the nail, the extended (or extended) nail is reliably protected. can do.

  Since the support member is provided in the finger bag in the glove body, it can be easily attached and detached during use, and the nail surface is covered with a finger bag to decorate the nail surface. In addition, the hair can be prevented from being caught on the uneven decoration formed on the surface of the nail.

  Furthermore, since the upper surface of the nail contact surface that supports the lower surface of the nail in the support member is open and faces the inner surface of the finger bag, the fingernail is pressed while pressing the extended nail tip against the inner surface of the finger bag. Simply by intruding into the bag, the lower surface of the nail can be easily guided to the finger contact surface.

  Therefore, by using the glove according to the present invention, in various situations in daily life, especially at the time of shampooing, etc., the disadvantage caused by extending the nail long at the same time as protecting the nail is eliminated, Can function in the same sense.

FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a main portion along the length direction showing the inside of the bag 10, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view (A) showing the support member 30 provided in the finger bag 10 and the insertion direction of the nail N FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a support member 30 according to another embodiment, and FIG. 6 is an internal view of a glove 50 according to another embodiment as viewed from the back side of the hand. 7 is a perspective view, FIG. 7 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a main part along the length direction showing the inside of the finger bag 10 in the glove 50 shown in FIG. 6, and FIG. 8 is a schematic view showing a use state.

  First, a glove 50 according to a first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the glove 50 according to this embodiment is formed such that all of the five finger bags 10 in the glove body 40 are longer than the fingertips F, and this finger bag 10 is extended for a long time. A support member 30 as shown in FIG. 4 is arranged on the front end side. The state in which the support member 30 is provided at the tip of the finger bag 10 is as shown in FIG. 2, and the finger inserted into the finger bag 10 is in contact with the base 34 of the support member 30. The extended nail N is placed on the nail holder 3232.

  In particular, the glove 50 according to this embodiment has a notch 21 formed by cutting away the back side of the flat bag 20 of the glove body 40 so that the glove 50 can be easily worn by an extended finger. That is, when the glove 50 is worn, for example, when worn on the right hand, the right hand is inserted into the glove 50 while holding the glove 50 with the left hand, but the left hand holding the glove 50 is also normal. If there are decorations, such as making the nails N longer. Therefore, as shown in the present embodiment, unless the back side of the hand is cut open to improve the ease of wearing, it is difficult to wear the glove 50 with a hand with the nail N extended. Therefore, improving the ease of mounting as in the present invention is important in improving the ease of use and withstanding practical use.

  Further, in the glove 50 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the back side (also referred to as the back side) of the glove body 40 is formed using a resin material such as rubber or vinyl. Further, it is possible to line the fabric so that the extended nail N is not caught. Moreover, the palm side (front side) of the glove body 40 is formed to have air permeability or water permeability, and can be formed using, for example, a mesh material or a cloth. Moreover, after forming with rubber | gum and vinyl similarly to a back side, the hole for ensuring water permeability and air permeability can also be provided and formed. Further, the hole having air permeability and water permeability can be formed not only at the palm side of the glove body 40 but also at the tip of the finger bag 10. This is because the water contained in the gloves 50 is discharged during use and dried quickly.

  When a finger with a long nail N is inserted into the glove 50 formed in this way, the tip of the nail N is present in the extended finger bag 10 as shown in FIG. As shown in the thumb bag 10 in FIG. 1, the lower surface of the long nail N is supported by the support member 30 in the finger bag 10.

  The support member 30 is formed of urethane resin, silicon resin, rubber, or the like, and is continuous with a flat nail contact portion 32 on which the lower surface of the extended nail N is placed and a rear end thereof as shown in FIGS. And a base portion 34 on which the front side (abdomen side) of the finger is placed, and a side wall portion 36 that sandwiches the side surface of the fingertip F rising from both sides of the base portion 34. The state in which the support member 30 is installed in the finger bag 10 is as shown in FIG. The finger inserted into the finger bag 10 has its abdominal portion (front side of the fingertip F) placed on the base 34, and the nail N extending from the fingertip F is placed on the nail holder 3232. The engagement state between the support member 30 and the finger is reliably maintained by sandwiching the side surface of the finger with the side wall portion 36 and covering the finger and the support member together with the finger bag 10. It will be.

  In particular, a nail housing space 15 is secured above the nail abutting portion 32 in the support member 30 between the inner surface of the finger bag 10. The nail N of the finger inserted into the finger bag 10 is present in the nail housing space 15. For example, when the surface of the nail N is decorated with irregularities due to the presence of this space. Even if it exists, it can accommodate in the finger bag 10 including the said unevenness | corrugation. Further, since the nail storage space 15 is defined by the inner surface of the finger bag 10, if the nail N extended at the time of wearing is inserted so as to slide on the inner surface of the finger bag 10, the nail storage space 15 is naturally stored. It will be guided in the space 15.

In a state where the inserted finger is engaged with the support member 30, the support member 30 exists below the nail N extending from the fingertip F in the finger bag 10, and this is on the tip side in the finger bag 10. Fill the resulting space. And since this support member 30 is supported by the belly of the finger inserted into the base 34, even if it is a lower region of the nail N (region where the nail abutment portion 32 exists) You can hold and grab the sword, and you can work as if your finger is stretched.
In FIG. 2, the support member 30 is shown on the tip side of each finger bag 10.

  FIG. 5 shows a support member 30 ′ according to another embodiment that can be used in place of the support member 30 shown in FIG. 4, and in particular, the side wall portion 36 ′ is formed up to the nail abutment portion side. The point is different. As shown in this figure, the inserted nail N can be held by forming the side wall portion 36 sandwiching the fingertip also on the side of the nail abutment portion. As a result, the sense of unity between the support member 30 and the finger can be enhanced, and the nail housing space 15 can be reliably secured. Therefore, even if it is the nail | Nail N which gave the decoration with an unevenness | corrugation on the surface, it can insert easily and the decoration can be protected. Furthermore, if a load is applied such as hitting the side surface of the extended nail N against something, the nail N may be peeled off or broken under normal circumstances. Such a problem can be solved by making it exist.

  Referring now to FIGS. 6 and 7, an embodiment of a glove 50 'suitable for cleaning hair, body, dishes, etc., particularly hair shampoos, will be described. In particular, the glove 50 ′ in this form is formed by forming a brush-like protrusion 35 on the front side (palm side) of the finger bag 10 in the glove body 40. The protrusion 35 is formed in an area where the support member 30 exists, and is preferably formed before the first joint of the inserted finger. In addition to being integrally molded when manufacturing the glove 50, the protrusion 35 can be vegetated later, or a sheet provided with a brush-like protrusion can be attached to the fingertip of the glove 50.

  Such a brush-like protrusion 35 can be formed to a length of about 2 mm to 15 mm, preferably about 3 mm to 10 mm. By providing such protrusions 35, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, if the glove 50 is worn on both hands to wash the hair, the presence of the protrusions 35 effectively wash the hair and scalp, and the scalp. Can also be massaged.

  By providing new gloves according to the present invention, activation in the glove manufacturing industry is expected. Furthermore, by using the gloves of the present invention, even if the nails are extended, it becomes possible to send hair washing and other daily life without feeling any inconvenience. .
