Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field This invention is effective in reducing external shocks and other mechanical stresses that are applied directly to the fingertips of workers when performing heavy work such as machining while wearing gloves. The present invention relates to a fingertip protection member for gloves that prevents unexpected injury from occurring.

Issues to be solved using conventional technology and ideas: Handling of dangerous machines with exposed moving parts,
When carrying out various tasks such as transporting heavy objects, workers generally wear work gloves such as work gloves or leather gloves. In particular, the use of work gloves is essential for so-called heavy work involving danger such as press work, grinding work with a grinder, and the transportation of heavy objects. Depending on the purpose of use, work gloves may be coated with rubber. Waterproofing, insulation, and other anti-slip treatments have been applied. In other words, this type of work glove not only prevents workers' hands from getting dirty, but also serves to protect them from bruises and abrasions that often occur during work.

However, in actual work sites, fingertip injuries occur frequently, which cannot be prevented by using conventional work gloves. For example, a fingertip may be accidentally scratched during grinding work with a grinder, a fingertip may be crushed between heavy objects when transporting a heavy object, or an accident may occur between a wire and an object being lifted during sling work with a crane, etc. Examples of injuries such as fractures caused by pinching fingers are easily cited. In the end, conventional work gloves have little effect in terms of protecting the fingertips during such heavy work, and the only way to prevent these accidents is to increase awareness and caution on the part of the workers.

Purpose of the invention This invention was proposed to solve the problem inherent in conventional work gloves, which is that they do not fully protect the fingertips from unexpected mechanical stress applied from the outside. The purpose of the present invention is to manufacture a protective member that covers the fingertips of a worker, and wear work gloves while fitting the protective member on the fingertips of the worker, thereby preventing an accident in which the fingertips are damaged.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the fingertip protection member for glove interior according to the present invention includes a covering part that covers the fingernail part, and a covering part that is integrally connected to the covering part and comes into contact with the abdomen of the finger. It consists of an engaging part that prevents the glove from falling off, and is characterized in that it is used by being attached to the fingertip of the glove.

Embodiments Next, preferred embodiments of the fingertip protection member for glove interior according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a fingertip protection member 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is formed by punching and bending an iron plate with a thickness of 0.8 mm to 1.2 mm, and includes a covering part 12 that covers the fingernail part. , and an engaging part 14 which is integrally connected to the covering part 12 and comes into contact with the abdomen of the finger to prevent it from falling off. That is, the covering part 12 forms a protective band that substantially entirely covers the upper part of the fingernail when the operator's fingertip 16 is inserted, as shown in FIG. 2, and the engaging part 14 preferably A portion corresponding to the abdomen of the fingertip 16 is opened, and the abdomen is exposed to the outside through this open portion 18.

Note that when this fingertip protection member 10 is manufactured from an iron plate, it is preferable to perform hardening after punching and bending the iron plate in order to improve the strength, and if necessary, coating it with rubber, resin, etc. It is recommended that Furthermore, in addition to metal materials, it may also be an integrally molded product made of hard synthetic resin or ceramic materials.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the opening part 18 is formed in the engaging part 14, but in the fingertip protection member 10 of the present invention, as shown in FIG. It may be composed of only the covering part 12 and the engaging part 14 which completely contacts the abdomen of the finger and does not have the opening part 18. At this time, an opening for ventilation may be provided in a portion of the fingertip protection member 10 corresponding to the fingertip, and the covering portion 12 and the engaging portion 14 may be
An appropriate number of ventilation holes can be formed as desired within a range that does not impair the strength.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5, the covering part 12 of the fingertip protection member 10 can be selected to have a streamlined shape that matches the shape of the fingertip 16.

The fingertip protection member 10 configured in this way has a first
As shown in Figures 5 to 5, insert it into the fingertips of the worker (it is preferable to insert it into all five fingers for safety reasons, but you may insert an appropriate number of fingers as needed), and leave it as it is. For example, work is performed while wearing work gloves 20 such as work gloves. In this case, according to the fingertip protection member 10 in the configuration shown in FIG.
Since the part corresponding to the abdomen is open, the second
This is suitable because the feeling of the object being touched can be conveyed through the glove as shown in the figure. Furthermore, since the portion of the fingertip 16 that covers the nail is substantially entirely covered by the protective member 10, the fingertip is reliably protected even when excessive mechanical stress is applied during heavy work, thereby preventing scratches and crushing. Other disasters such as bone fractures can be effectively prevented.

In the case of this embodiment, if an elastic contracting member such as rubber is provided at the fingertips of work gloves such as work gloves and the fingertip protection member 10 is tightened by this, the fingertip protection member 10 can be tightened when the gloves are taken off. The member 10 remains housed and held within the fingertip of the glove. Therefore, it is convenient because it can be put on immediately for the next use.
