Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a glove having a touch function of a smart phone,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a glove capable of touching a screen of a smartphone without removing the glove that has been stuck in the cold winter season. More specifically, To a screen touch of a smartphone.

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a touch screen that replaces an input device by a user's touch method has been widely used in computers, game machines, and the like, and is adopted as a mobile terminal or a portable electronic device, .

The input device using the touch screen has various recognition methods such as a resistive type, a surface acoustic wave type, and a capacitive type according to a method of recognizing a touch point as a key technology to accurately recognize a point touching the touch screen.

The resistance film type is one of the typical touch screen operation methods. When two conductor films are brought into contact with each other, the principle of electric conduction is used. An insulation layer is formed between conductor films so that when the conductor film is pressed, electricity is passed through the pressed portions, And calculates the changed position to find the point to be touched.

However, since the conductor film must be pressed in the case of the resistive film type, the conductor film is usually made of a soft material which is deformable when subjected to pressure. Accordingly, when the pressure is repeatedly applied, the surface of the conductor film is damaged.

In order to compensate for these drawbacks, it has been suggested that a surface acoustic wave touch screen is a touch screen in which a sound or a light enters a certain direction, and then a certain point, that is, a touch point, And the position of the obstacle, that is, the position of the touch point, is recognized by detecting the change.

However, in the case of the surface acoustic wave touch screen, since the resolution for recognizing the position of the touch point is determined according to the size of the obstacle, it is useful for a large size touch screen but is not suitable for a small size touch screen such as a smart phone .

Therefore, the electrostatic capacitive touch screen is mainly used in portable terminals in order to improve the disadvantage of the resistive touch screen.

The electrostatic touch screen detects a change in capacitance between two conductive plates and recognizes the position of the touch point. When a specific point (touch point) of the conductive plate on the front surface is touched, The electrostatic capacitance at the surface of the substrate changes, and the electric field also changes.

Accordingly, the touch point is recognized by recognizing the point where the electric field has changed. The electrostatic touchscreen is based on the idea that the human body is a conductor that affects the electric field and uses it on the touch screen.

However, in the case of the electrostatic type, there is a disadvantage that the contact of the conductor is necessarily required. For example, when touching with nonconductive rubber or nonconductive fiber, the capacitance does not change, so the electric field does not change, so the touch point can not be recognized.

A portable terminal employing the electrostatic touch screen is rapidly spreading. However, when a user wears gloves, it is inconvenient to remove the gloves in order to use the portable terminal employing the electrostatic touch screen.

In addition, when the glove with the fingertip of the glove is worn, there is a problem that the finger is not warmed in the cold weather and the cold or the frost may be caught in a region having a low temperature or in winter.

It is required to enable the use of the portable terminal employing the electrostatic touch screen in a state where the temperature is low or gloves are worn even in winter.

A conductive glove is known that can be used without removing the glove when a terminal such as a smart phone or a PDA is used in a state in which conductive gloves are woven by knitting conductive fabrics at the thumb or index finger of the glove.

These conductive gloves are made entirely of conductive yarn, or the thumb or index finger is conductive.

However, such conductive gloves have different sizes of fingers of the wearer of gloves, different sizes of gloves, and the conductive parts and the fingers are not in close contact with each other, so that the conductive parts of the gloves do not come into contact with the desired parts of the screen, Is very inconvenient to use.

Moreover, when using a smartphone with conductive gloves, or when wearing a conductive glove and taking a lot of text such as a text message or a kakaotalk, the conductive part of the conductive glove is not in contact with the fingers of the glove wearer The conductive portion of the conductive glove does not contact the desired portion of the screen exactly and the use of a touch phone such as a smart phone is very inconvenient.

In consideration of the above problems, it can be used while touching the desired area without removing the gloves. Since the smartphone is used in a region where the temperature is low or gloves are worn even in the winter, it is possible to maintain the thermal insulation of the finger, A touch screen glove for a smartphone was developed and was filed as a utility model 20-2013-0000616 (published on April 1, 2014).

FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a state of use of a conventional smartphone touch glove, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating another state of use of a conventional smartphone touch glove. In the conventional smartphone touch glove, You can use it while touching the desired part exactly without removing it.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the smartphone touch glove has a through hole 10 formed in the thumb 110 of the glove on one side of the glove or on both sides of the glove, Holes 10 are formed on both sides of the thumb and index finger regions 110 and 120 so that when a smart phone is used, have.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the smartphone touch glove, the through hole may have a through hole in the lateral direction or a through hole in the longitudinal direction, and may be formed in a region having a low temperature or wearing gloves Because it uses the smartphone, it can maintain the insulation of the finger and maintain the function of the glove originally.

The through hole is preferably formed to have a length of 1 to 3 cm, and if the depth is less than 1 cm, the hole is too small to use the smartphone without removing the glove when using the smartphone. There is a problem that the fingers of the glove are easily peeled off.

The through hole 10 may be formed in any shape selected from the group consisting of a straight shape, a cross shape, a circular shape, an elliptical shape, a semi-elliptical shape, and a mountain peak shape.

In addition, when a smartphone is used, it is possible to use the smartphone with touching a desired portion without removing the glove, because a button hole is formed at the edge of the through hole 10 Buttonholes A Velcro tape (not shown) is attached to the edge of the buttonhole so that when the smartphone is not in use, the through hole is closed by a Velcro tape so that it can be used as a general glove in low temperature areas or in winter without a through hole. .

However, in the conventional glove having such a structure, a through hole is formed in such a manner that a finger is exposed to the outside of the finger, and thus the function as a glove is lost due to the formation of the through hole in a cold weather, If the size of the through hole is small, the finger may not be exposed to the outside and the screen may not be able to be touched or the touch is inconvenient. On the other hand, if the through hole is formed too large, .

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to overcome the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to improve the structure of the glove without forming a through hole in the glove, so that the screen can be touched without removing the glove.

Another object of the present invention is to make it possible to touch the screen regardless of the finger length of the person using the glove.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of sewing a touch tip of a conductive material on a finger tip, together with sewing of the outer surface of a glove, the conductive tip of the conductive material forming a through- The conductive fiber is inserted into the through hole so as to be positioned on both sides of the lining and then folded and sewed to the lining so that one surface of the conductive fiber touches the wearer's finger and the other surface of the conductive fiber is connected and fixed to the touch tip A glove having a touch function of a smart phone is provided.

In the glove of the present invention, a conductive tip of a conductive material is sewn on the tip of a finger, and the conductive fiber is sewn on both sides of the lining so that one side of the conductive fiber is connected to the user's finger and the other side is connected to the touch tip. The touch of the screen can be obtained because the finger of the finger is always connected to the conductive fiber even if it is long or short.

In addition, since the cross-sectional size and shape of the touch tip touching the screen can be arbitrarily created, it is possible to always touch the desired point on the screen with accuracy.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the glove of the present invention, FIG. 4 is a developed view showing the lining of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a vertical sectional view showing a main part of an embodiment of the present invention. The outer surface 20 of the glove is sewn together with a finger tip at the time of sewing and one surface of the finger touches the wearer's fingers and the other surface touches the touch tip 10 So that the user's electric field is transmitted to the screen of the smartphone through the conductive fiber 40 and the touch tip 10. In this case,

4 and 5, a through hole 31 is formed in the lining 30 and the conductive fibers 40 are disposed on both sides of the lining 30 in the through hole 31. In this embodiment, The end of the conductive fiber 40 positioned outside the lining 30 is sewn to be fixed to the touch tip 10 after the conductive fiber 40 is sewed to the lining 30 in the folded state .

Although the through hole 31 is formed in the lining 30 so that the conductive fiber 40 is positioned on both sides of the lining 30, the conductive fiber 40 may be lined with the through- (Not shown).

6, the conductive fibers 40 are folded in two layers so as to surround the lining 30, and then the upper and lower portions of the conductive fibers 40 are sewn on the lining 30, It is possible to sew and fix the upper portion of the adhesive 40 with the touch tip 10.

When the present invention is applied to a five-finger glove, it is possible to fix the touch tip 10 and the conductive fiber 40 to any one of the five fingers. However, when the users mainly use the index finger 50, In FIG. 3, which is one embodiment of the present invention, they are fixed to both the surface 20 and the lining 30 at the portion where the index finger is to be fitted, respectively.

It is understandable, however, that it can be applied to mittens rather than five finger gloves.

Further, in the present invention, it is not necessary to limit the size and shape of the conductive touch tip 10 sewn together when sewing the outer cloth 20 of the glove. However, It is more preferable to form it in the size and shape.

Hereinafter, the operation of the present invention will be described.

First, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the conductive fibers 40 are inserted into the through holes 31 formed in the index fingers 50 of the cut lining 20 to be positioned on both sides of the lining 30 It is fixed by sewing.

Thereafter, the end of the conductive fiber 40 positioned on the outer side of the lining 30 is fixed to the end of the index finger 50 of the outer cloth 20 and is sewn with the touch tip 10 exposed to the inside, The tip 10 and the conductive fibers 40 are interconnected.

When the touch tip 10 and the conductive fiber 40 are sewn together so as to be electrically connected to each other, the glove is produced in the same manner as in the conventional method. Such a process is well known in the art, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted .

Therefore, when the glove of the present invention is worn, the conductive fibers 40 are positioned on the inner surface of the lining 30 over a predetermined interval at the inner end of the index finger 50, so that even if the length of the index finger is a little short, And reaches the conductive fibers 40.

In this state, when the screen of the smartphone is touched using the touch tip 10 in a state in which the glove is outside in the winter season such as the winter season where the ambient temperature is low, the electric field of the user is transmitted through the conductive fiber 40 and the touch tip 10 to the screen So that the smartphone can be used.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention may be embodied with various changes and modifications without departing from the scope of the invention. will be.
