For example, it may be composed of four seat members having a little finger portion on the instep side and a little finger side gusset continuous from the little finger portion between the palm side seat member 2 and the instep side seat member 3. By adding the little finger side gusset sheet member, it becomes possible to make a more three-dimensional glove, and the usability is further improved.

Further, in the above-described first to fifth embodiments, the finger bags accommodating the wearer's five fingers have been described using gloves having independent forms, but the finger bag accommodating the wearer's thumb and the rest. It may be a mittens-shaped glove separated into a finger bag for accommodating four fingers. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the long type glove 1 has been described, but for example, a short type glove having a length up to the wrist portion of the wearer may be used.

Further, in the manufacturing method of the glove 1 of the first to fourth embodiments, the manufacturing method including the sealing / cutting step of simultaneously sealing and cutting the laminated body 6 has been described, but the sealing step and the cutting step are described. It may be configured to be performed separately.

A mold sealing member 111 that is formed following the inner edge of the contour shape of the cutter blade 112 and can be heated and energized after the cutting step of arranging the folds of the side gusset sheet member and cutting the laminate into the contour shape. Then, the outer peripheral edge of the laminated body 6 is fixed according to the contour shape of the laminated body 6 cut in the contour cutting step, and the thumb side gusset sheet member and the instep side sheet member folded in half with the palm side sheet member. The configuration may include a sealing step of forming a precursor 1a of a glove 1 having a pair of thumb portions 10c and 10c, which is formed by the other thumb-side gusset sheet member folded in half.
That is, the structure may be such that the sealing process is performed after the cutting process is performed. For example, in the first embodiment, for example, the crease 43 of the thumb-side gusset original fabric 40 in the laminated body 6 is arranged on the line from the inner base portion of the thumb portion of the cutter blade 112 to the insertion port portion, and the laminated body 6 is formed. A laminate 6 cut in the cutting step by a mold sealing member 111 formed following the inner edge of the contour shape of the cutter blade 112 and capable of heating and energizing after the cutting step and the cutting step. The outer peripheral edge of the laminated body 6 is fixed in accordance with the contour shape of the above, and one thumb side gusset 40 folded in half with the palm side original fabric 20 and the other thumb side gusset folded in half with the instep side original fabric 30. The configuration may include a sealing step of forming a precursor 1a of the glove 1 having a pair of thumb portions 10c and 10c formed by the original fabric 40.

Even when the sealing step is performed after the cutting step, the three-dimensional glove 1 can be manufactured without performing the sealing and cutting operations a plurality of times. As a result, for example, inexpensive and three-dimensional gloves can be efficiently manufactured without increasing the number of manufacturing steps.

Further, for example, a mold sealing member 111 formed following the contour shape of the glove 1 and capable of heating and energizing, from a portion corresponding to the inner base of the thumb portion to a portion corresponding to an insertion port in the mold sealing member 111. A crease of the thumb side gusset sheet member in the laminated body 6 is arranged on the line toward, and after the sealing step of sealing the laminated body 6 to the contour shape and the sealing step, the outer edge of the contour shape of the mold sealing member 111 is followed. With the cutter blade 112 formed of the above, the laminate 6 is cut into a contour shape so as to follow the outer edge of the seal shape of the laminate 6 sealed in the sealing process, and the thumb side gusset sheet is folded in half with the palm side sheet member. A configuration including a cutting step of forming a precursor 1a of a glove 1 having a pair of at least one thumb portions 10c, 10c, which is formed by a member and an instep side seat member and the other thumb side gusset sheet member folded in half. It may be.
That is, the structure may be such that the cutting process is performed after the sealing process is performed. For example, in the first embodiment, the mold seal member 111, which is formed following the contour shape of the glove 1 and can be heated and energized, is on a line from the inner base of the thumb portion of the mold seal member 111 to the insertion port portion. The crease 43 of the thumb-side gusset original fabric 40 in the laminated body 6 is arranged, and after the sealing step of sealing the laminated body 6 to the contour shape and the sealing step, the outer edge of the contour shape of the mold sealing member 111 is imitated. With the formed cutter blade 112, the laminate 6 was cut into a contour shape so as to follow the outer edge of the seal shape of the laminate 6 sealed in the sealing process, and the palm side original fabric 20 and one thumb side gusset folded in half. It is configured to have a cutting step of forming a precursor 1a of a glove 1 having a pair of thumb portions formed by the original fabric 40 and the other thumb-side gusset original fabric 40 folded in half with the instep side original fabric 30. You may.

Even when the cutting step is performed after the sealing step, the three-dimensional glove 1 can be manufactured without performing the sealing and cutting operations a plurality of times. As a result, for example, inexpensive and three-dimensional gloves can be efficiently manufactured without increasing the number of manufacturing steps.

Further, in the method of manufacturing the glove 1 of the first to fifth embodiments described above, the configuration including the thumb cutting step of cutting one of the pair of thumb portions 10c and 10c has been described. It may be a configuration that does not have. That is, when the precursor 1a of the glove 1 having the pair of thumb portions 10c and 10c is used as it is as a glove, it can be suitably manufactured by a manufacturing method that does not have a thumb cutting step. When the precursor 1a having a pair of thumb portions 10c and 10c is used as a glove, for example, the glove (precursor 1a) can be easily worn on either the left or right hand, which is preferable. Further, in this case, since the number of manufacturing steps can be reduced, gloves with improved fit can be efficiently manufactured at a lower cost.

Further, in the method for manufacturing the glove 1 of the first to fifth embodiments described above, a glove composed of three seat members, a palm side seat member 2, an instep side seat member 3, and a thumb side gusset seat member 4, is used. As described above, for example, the palm side seat member 2 and the instep side seat member 3 may be composed of four seat members including the instep side little finger portion and the little finger side gusset continuous from the little finger portion. .. By adding the little finger side gusset sheet member, it becomes possible to make a more three-dimensional glove, and the usability is further improved.
In order to manufacture a glove composed of four sheet members including the little finger side gusset sheet member, the rectangular original fabric of the little finger side gusset sheet member (hereinafter, also simply referred to as "pinkie side gusset original fabric") is folded in half. The little finger side gusset raw fabric folded in half is arranged between the palm side original fabric 20 and the instep side original fabric 30 to form a laminated body. At this time, the free end of the gusset on the little finger side folded in half is positioned on the opposite side to the free end of the gusset on the thumb side, and the crease of the gusset on the little finger side folded in half is the small finger part of the glove mold. It is preferable to arrange it so that it is located on the line from the inner base to the insertion opening. By arranging in this way, the precursor 1a of the glove can be manufactured by the sheet cutting step described above, and the glove is manufactured by obtaining the little finger cutting step of cutting an unnecessary little finger portion from the precursor 1a. be able to.

Further, in the method for manufacturing the glove 1 of the fifth embodiment described above, the thumb-side gusset raw fabric 40 having a one-layer structure having a fusing material has been described, but in the method for manufacturing the glove 1 of the present embodiment, at least Any sheet member (raw fabric) having a fused layer may be used, and for example, a sheet member (raw fabric) having three or more layers may be used.
