Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to finger tubes, finger tube sets, and gloves using the same.

The present invention relates to a finger tube, a finger tube set, and a glove using the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a finger tube, a finger tube set, and a glove using the finger tube.

Generally, the finger tube is an article made to protect the finger with a cloth, vinyl, rubber, leather, metal or the like so as to surround the end of the finger in order to prevent the finger from being scratched during operation.

Conventional finger tubes, however, merely protect fingers from trauma and require the user to hold small tools or objects such as semiconductors, miniature motors, diodes, needles, pins, nails, screws, insect eggs, There is a problem that it is difficult to carry out necessary work by catching it. In addition, there is a problem that the object is bent, damaged or deformed due to the grip pressure even if it is gripped.

Failure to use the finger tube resulted in poor work efficiency and inability to protect the fingers, resulting in a problem of work stability.

Accordingly, the present applicant has proposed a finger tube and a glove which can be precisely grasped in Korean Patent Application Nos. 10-2009-0114130, 10-2009-0114121, 10-2009-0052719 and 10-2010-0135219 We have filed a patent application and have been registered.

The finger tube or glove described in the above-mentioned patent was very efficient in manufacturing an end of the glove in a shape suitable for a precision grip and precisely grasping a very small size object or object. Especially, by attaching the finger tube of the structure which can catch the micro object such as the pencil to the glove, it is possible to carry out the fine work such as the thumb grip such as the sharp point, the narrow groove, the minus, the push pull, To improve the efficiency.

However, even if the volume of the finger tube is divided into S, M, L, XL, and XXL by dividing the volume of the finger tube by the size of the female and male when the finger tube is put in the fingertip, for example, The thumb and the index finger do not form an optimum angle of the micro object grip, and the finger tube is moved in the state where the finger tube is worn for a long time, or the finger tube is detached from the finger, There was a difficult problem.

In addition, when the finger tube is installed for a long time with the bare hand, the condensation generated by touching the inside of the fingertip due to the moist air generated from the finger skin touches the finger skin to give a sticky feeling of foreign body, Odor is generated and condensation lowers the frictional force of the inside of the finger and the finger tube to reduce the inconvenience of slipping and also causes troubles such as inconvenience to the skin when it is worn for a long time and deterioration of work efficiency there was.

On the other hand, finger gloves (coats, cots) have been widely used for assembling fine objects. The body of the rubber coat is made of a thin rubber material, and a ring-shaped elastic band is provided at the end of the insertion port to prevent the rubber coat from flowing down from the ecology attached to the fingers. It has been used as a general purpose advantageous in terms of work such as prevention of slippery when the object is caught with good frictional force, humid air and condensation generated from the finger are blocked from external emission, and fingerprints are not displayed on the product.

However, the rubber coat is usually made of thin rubber and has a fingertip structure. Outside air can not pass through the inside of the rubber coat. When wet air or condensation from the finger skin catches moisture, However, due to the nature of the material of the rubber coat, it can not absorb the humid air, so the humid air generated from the fingers is condensed in the rubber coat and the sticky uneven color is felt. There is a disadvantage that a skin disease occurs due to the occurrence of odor and prolonged wearing, moist and sticky condensation and virus multiplication. Also, when wearing a rubber coat, it was inconvenient or impossible to grasp a fine object such as a pencil because the end was folded or wrinkled at the folded portion.

10 is a schematic diagram of a fingernail bone for reference in describing a finger to be used in the following description. According to this, the fingertip bone consists of bone at each end, the middle node bone, and the first node bone.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for accurately grasping an object stably or relieving fingerprint pain caused by pushing (pushing) And to provide a finger tube and glove for relieving a skin foreign body caused by moist foreign matter.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily carry out the present invention. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

Throughout the specification, when an element is referred to as "comprising ", it means that it can include other elements as well, without excluding other elements unless specifically stated otherwise.

In order to clearly illustrate the present invention in the drawings, thicknesses are enlarged in order to clearly illustrate various layers and regions, and parts not related to the description are omitted, and like parts are denoted by similar reference numerals throughout the specification .

Whenever a portion of a layer, film, region, plate, or the like is referred to as being "on" another portion, it includes not only the case where it is "directly on" another portion, but also the case where there is another portion in between. Conversely, when a part is "directly over" another part, it means that there is no other part in the middle.

Hereinafter, a finger tube according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Features, structures, effects and the like according to the above-described embodiments are included in at least one embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to only one embodiment. Further, the features, structures, effects, and the like illustrated in the embodiments may be combined or modified in other embodiments by those skilled in the art to which the embodiments belong. Therefore, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to these combinations and modifications.

1 is a perspective view showing a finger tube 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The finger tube 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is a structure in which an end portion of a finger is fitted. The finger tube 100 includes a body 101 and a fastening band 150.

The body has a predetermined thickness and surrounds the end portion of the finger. The body includes an inner surface (140) to which the finger contacts, and an outer surface (130) that is in contact with the object to be held.

On the inner surface 140, a protrusion 110 is formed. The protrusion 110 is formed by embossing the inner surface 140 of the finger to prevent the finger tube 100 from escaping by increasing the friction surface area. That is, when the protrusion 110 touches the skin or the glove, the frictional force is improved as compared with the case where the embossing treatment is not performed, thereby restricting the disengagement and the positional change of the finger tube 100.

The shape of the outer surface 130 is not limited, but it is preferable that the outer surface 130 has a shape capable of being precisely gripped. For example, Japanese Patent Application Nos. 10-0935455, 10-0966277, 10-0966278, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2012-0073447, Korean Design Application No. 30-2012-0035396, etc., The shape of the finger tube or glove applied may be applied.

For example, each tangent line at an abutment point where the first surface 131 and the second surface 132 meet may be formed at an acute angle so that a fine grasp is possible.

The body 101 is provided with a through hole 120 passing through the inner surface 140 and the outer surface 130. The through hole 120 is a hole for discharging humid air generated in the inside of the finger tube to the outside while allowing the outside air to flow into the inside of the finger tube to improve the humid environment inside the finger tube. This can solve the problem caused by moisture.

The thickness between the inner surface 140 and the outer surface 130 is preferably 0.5 mm to 3 mm. If it exceeds 3mm, it is insensitive due to the thickness when gripping the object, and when it exceeds 3mm, because the gripping contact is moved forward toward the nail portion due to the spherical shape, there arises a problem that it is inconvenient to grip on the finger structure. In case of molding, it is necessary to form the minimum thickness that constitutes the product. If it is less than 0.5 mm, there is a problem that the structure is weakened due to repeated structure during the repeated operation.

At this time, the fingerprint portion of the finger of the finger finger tube, which is suitable for pressing the object to the fingerprint portion repeatedly, that is, the thickness between the inner surface 140 and the outer surface 130 of the portion contacting the object to be gripped, It is preferable to make the thickness between the inner surface 140 and the outer surface 130 thicker than the thickness.

This is because the operation of pushing the thumb or the index finger with the pressure of the fingerprint portion is repeated at the work site to cause the pain in the finger portion of the finger, so that the thickness of the fingerprint portion of the finger tube 100 corresponding to the fingerprint portion of the finger This makes it possible to relieve the pain by acting as a cushioning material for the rubber material, which is an elastic material.

For example, the thickness of the fingerprint portion of the finger tube 100 may be 0.5 to 3.0 mm, and the thickness of the portion other than the fingerprint portion may be 0.5 to 1.7 mm.

At this time, the area of the fingerprint of the finger tube 100 may be exactly the same as the fingerprint of the finger, but there may be some changes depending on the usability of the manufacturing.

A variety of materials such as rubber, synthetic resin, fiber, metal, and nonmetal can be selected as the material of the body 101, but it is preferable that the body 101 is made of a material such that a circular shape can be restored quickly after use.

For example, as a non-limiting list, one rubber selected from the group consisting of nitrile rubber, natural rubber, acrylic rubber, urethane rubber, fluorine rubber, silicone rubber, and synthetic rubbers thereof may be manufactured to satisfy such a hardness condition Can be used.

The tightening band 150 is provided on the outer periphery of the side end portion where the finger is inserted in the body of the finger tube 100. The tightening band 150 elastically tightens the finger tube 100 so as not to rotate on the finger. At this time, the tightening band 150 may be provided in various shapes.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of various types of fastening straps applied to a glove according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Fig. 2 (a) shows a tightening band having a concavo-convex shape, Fig. 2 (b) shows a tight serrated band, and Fig. 2 (c) shows a ring band. That is, the fastening band plays a role of maintaining the elasticity of the fastening band regardless of the shape, thereby preventing the fastening band.

Particularly, it is preferable that the length of the finger tube is controlled so that the fastening band is located at the mid-bony portion of the finger.

3 is a perspective view showing the finger tube 200 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. According to this, the finger tube of the second embodiment is distinguished from the first embodiment in that the finger tube further includes the first extension portion 210. The first expanding part 210 is formed in the lateral direction, that is, in the same direction as the folding direction formed on the joints of the fingers, at the part where the joints of the endodermic fingers The overall surface area of the finger tube when the bone is formed and the finger joint is stretched or bent, provides stretchability so that it can move smoothly without increasing or decreasing.

That is, when the finger joint is bent as shown in FIG. 3, a tension is applied which causes the entire length of the finger tube 200 to be larger than when the finger tube is bent. By forming the first extension part 210, Can be solved.

In addition, when the wrinkles are formed in the first extension part 210 in the transverse direction of the finger tube, the finger tube 200 is structurally easy to support and the shape of the finger tube 200 is also maintained.

4 is a perspective view showing the finger tube 300 according to the third embodiment of the present invention. The third embodiment differs from the second embodiment in that the second extension 310 is provided on the side surface of the body. The second extending portion 310 is provided to change the volume of the finger tube 300 even if the thickness of the user's finger changes, thereby providing a finger tube excellent in wearing comfort.

The second expanding portion 310 improves the workability regardless of the thickness of the fingers, for example, by forming wrinkles in the longitudinal direction, that is, in the longitudinal direction of the finger.

When the fingertip is mounted in the space inside the finger tube, the finger tube is not detached from the finger or the finger tube position is not changed even if the finger is repeatedly operated. Therefore, even if the user's fingers are thickened by forming the second extension 310, the inner space of the finger tube is optimized to fit the thickness of the user's finger.

In the case of forming the corrugated ribs in the second expanding portion 310, the corrugated ribs are not limited to the position and the number of the corrugated ribs if they are formed in the longitudinal direction, but they are preferably formed on the side portions of the body, respectively.

Preferably, the second extension 310 is formed to have a length of ½ to 4/5 of the length of the body, and in particular, the second extension 310 is formed to extend from the fastening band.

5 is a cross-sectional view exemplarily showing the corrugated shapes of the first extension portion 210 and the second extension portion 310 of FIGS.

According to this, the extension part (0.4 mm) can be formed by one line of wrinkle cores as shown in FIG. 5A, and can be formed by a plurality of lines of corrugated lines as shown in FIG. 5B. At this time, it is preferable that the first expanding portion 210 is formed by one line of corrugation. At this time, it is preferable that the first extension part 210 is formed in a line-like shape and the second extension part 310 is formed in a plurality of lines.

On the other hand, various models can be provided for each size even if the first and second expanding portions are provided. For example, various models can be developed in consideration of finger tube length, area, internal volume, finger tube volume, weight, thickness, and the like.

6 is a perspective view showing a finger tube 410 according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. The finger tube 410 is distinguished from the other embodiments in that the finger tube 410 further includes a Cot 420 therein. The coat 420 is used to reduce the foreign body sensation, slippery, and skin diseases due to the moisture generated by condensation when the finger tube 410 directly touches the skin, Respectively.

At this time, it is preferable that the coat 420 is provided with a fabric coat made of fibers in the form of a finger, and the finger tube 410 is coupled to the outer surface thereof.

The coat may comprise a body 421 and a band 423.

The body is made of fibers that are easy to absorb moisture and is formed into a finger shape, and the band is knitted by attaching it to the circumference of the end of the insertion port with an elastic fiber of 1 to 10 mm so that the coat does not flow down.

The yarn used in the manufacture of the coat may be selected from the group consisting of stainless steel yarn, Dyneema yarn yarn, Dyneema yarn yarn, Spandex Yarn yarn, Spectra yarn yarn, (Nylon Yarn), polyester yarn, polyamide yarn, and cotton yarn are suitable.

Yarn is knitted using a knitting machine. Knitting machines are usually used to weave socks or gloves, sweaters. The method of weaving is known to those of ordinary skill in the art, so a detailed description of its manufacture is omitted.

However, it is preferable that the knitting machine used in the production of the coat according to the embodiment of the present invention is woven in a gauge of 8 to 17 gauge. The term gauge is usually used to denote the number of needles placed within an inch of a knitting machine and a density of 12 gauge means that the knitting is densely knit with twelve needles arranged within one inch.

The coat (finger glove) may be used after being woven, and in some cases, a surface coating 430 is preferred in part or in whole. The surface coating material is preferably PU (polyurethane) NBR or PDB.

  Polyurethane (PU) coating is a polymer compound bonded with an urethane bond made by the combination of an alcohol group and an isocyanic acid group. Urethane synthetic rubber is also widely used, and a urethane bond is formed by the combination of an alcohol group OH and an isocyanic acid group NCO Polyester-based, polyether-based, and polyester-based urethane based synthetic rubbers are prepared by reacting propylene glycol and ethylene glycol with adipic acid to form a polyester, having OH groups at both ends and having a molecular weight of up to 3,000 with naphthalene- Which is made of urethane and urea at the same time. The polyether system is made by mixing propylene oxide with some ethylene oxide to make a polyether, and reacting OH groups at both ends with toluylene diisocyanate to form a polyurethane having a high molecular weight. Ozone resistance and synthetic rubber having good abrasion resistance .

NBR (Nitrile butadiene rubber) coating is a rubber composed of a random copolymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene. It is excellent in oil resistance and has an improved property as the content of acrylonitrile is increased. It has high tensile strength and elasticity and has a wide range of application. It has high abrasion resistance such as used in oil-resistant hose, vacuum packing, roller o belt, etc., It is advantageous to protect the skin of hands by preventing penetration by chemicals.

PDB water dispersion polyurethane resin coating uses polyurethane resin as an organic solvent (DMF). However, organic solvent is used as a solvent for water using resin synthesis technology, so it is environment-friendly. CELL structure is formed to enable a small amount of air communication. When wearing gloves, humid air generated from the skin of the hand is discharged to the outside, or there is a structural feature that the external dry air enters into the inside.

The coating method may include a palm coating for coating the bottom of the finger and a top coating for coating only the fingertip of the fingertip and may be selectively coated according to the working environment.

On the other hand, the coat 420 and the finger tube 410 can be manufactured and used as an integral or separate type.

7 is a perspective view illustrating a set of finger tubes according to another aspect of the present invention. The main work after the finger tube is worn is a work such as holding a fine object, pushing in a narrow groove, pulling out, pulling, and pressing with a fingerprint. For this purpose, the finger tube can be manufactured in different shapes to facilitate each work.

For example, the end shape of the first finger tube 510 fitted to the index finger is configured such that the angle is sharp, the fine object is inserted into a narrow groove, the work such as pulling, pushing, pulling is easy, The shape of the end of the finger tube 520 is more gradual, so that the finger tube 520 can be easily configured for the pressing operation.

In this case, the gripping can be performed more efficiently. That is, as shown in Fig. 8, the finger tube of the index finger can efficiently hold the object while pushing the object to the thumb tube of the thumb. At this time, Fig. 8A is a state diagram at the time of holding a micro object.

On the other hand, in order to optimize the precision grip, the angles of both the first finger tube and the second finger tube end may be sharpened. For example, FIG. 8B is a sectional state view showing the state of the contact of the thumb of the finger tube with sharp edges at both ends, and FIG. 8C is an external state view showing the state of the contact of the thumb.

9 is a perspective view illustrating a glove 600 according to another aspect of the present invention.
