Description

Gloves made of carbon fiber {Glove of Weaving Carbon Fiber}

The present invention relates to a glove, and more particularly to a glove that can operate an electronic device equipped with a touch panel by weaving fingertips using carbon fiber.

Recently, with the rapid development of digital technology and communication technology, portable electronic devices are widely used. In particular, it is possible to send and receive various data by connecting to the Internet using next-generation portable electronic devices such as smart phones or tablet PCs, and also easily access various multimedia such as video and music. It became available.

Such next-generation portable electronic devices use a so-called 'touch panel', and the user is configured to operate the electronic device by accessing desired information or data using a finger. For example, a smart phone such as an 'iPhone' is used as a so-called 'touch phone' because it can move to desired data or information by detecting a portion indicated by a finger.

To this end, a transparent touch panel is generally provided with a 'touch sensor' and is configured to detect a user's finger and to access a desired service. The touch sensor is largely classified into a pressure-sensitive type (pressure sensing type) that senses the pressure when a user's finger contacts the touch panel and an electrostatic type that recognizes a minute current flowing in the human body.

In the case of a pressure-sensitive touch panel, it is composed of a layer made of a thin and fluid material, a stable layer that does not conduct electricity away from the liquid crystal screen, and a conductive layer that senses a touch point. This is a method of locating the conductive layer to detect changes in current and resistance. The pressure-sensitive touch panel is inexpensive and has the advantage of using other objects such as a touch pen because it is sensed by physical force.However, the touch screen film reduces the clarity and damages the film itself. In addition, there are inaccuracies.

In recent years, portable electronic devices employing a touch panel using a capacitive touch method have become mainstream. The capacitive touch panel consists of a glass coated with a conductive compound such as phosphorus / tin oxide, and a sensor is attached to the edge of the glass. The electric current flows continuously through the glass. Since the minute electric current also flows through the human body, when the user touches the touch screen using a finger or the like, electrons flowing in the glass move to the body, and the sensor detects the change of the electron and measures its position. .

In the case of the capacitive touch panel, the sharpness is much better than that of the pressure-sensitive type, and the touch screen is operated with a finger. However, unlike a pressure-sensitive type, there is a disadvantage in that a part of the human body such as a finger flowing with a small current flows. Thus, for example, if a portable electronic device equipped with a capacitive touch panel is to be used, it must be operated using a finger.

For this reason, for example, if a user wants to operate a portable electronic device equipped with a capacitive touch panel while wearing gloves in a cold winter, the gloves are made of synthetic fibers or leather, and the gloves are made of a non-conductive material. The electronic device shall be operated with the gloves removed. Outdoors in the cold winter, if you need to take off the gloves to use the portable electronic device is not only very annoying to the user, but also the user who is weak to the cold is inconvenient to move to a warm room to use the portable electronic device.

The present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a glove capable of operating a portable electronic device equipped with a capacitive touch panel.

Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the invention and the accompanying drawings.

According to the present invention having the above object, a body portion that is woven using a non-conductive material; Provided as a conductive portion woven using carbon fibers as conductive fibers to the finger end portion continuous to the body portion, the glove comprising a conductive portion woven at least the thumb end portion and the index finger end portion.

In this case, the carbon fiber woven into the conductive portion may be preferably used in combination with the non-conductive fiber, preferably 70 to 90% by weight based on the total weight of the conductive portion.

In addition, the body portion is characterized in that the woven from non-conductive fibers selected from polyester fibers, acrylic fibers, cotton, nylon, natural leather, artificial leather, polarpolis fibers, artificial tax, chamois, suede or mixtures thereof.

The present invention proposes, for example, a glove woven using carbon fibers, which are conductive fibers, at the fingertips.

Unlike the body portion, which is woven from non-conductive fibers, at least the thumb and index finger ends are woven using carbon fibers, which are conductive fibers.

Accordingly, even when the user wears the glove according to the present invention, the user can operate the portable electronic device by contacting the thumb and index finger end portions which are woven with carbon fiber to the touch screen of the portable electronic device.

As a result, the user can easily use desired information or data by operating a portable electronic device equipped with a capacitive touch panel using a glove according to the present invention without taking off the glove even in the cold winter.

1 schematically illustrates a glove capable of operating a portable electronic device equipped with a capacitive touch panel according to the present invention.
2 is a view schematically illustrating a state in which the portable electronic device is operated by a method of contacting a touch screen of the portable electronic device using a glove according to the present invention.

With reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention will be described based on the preferred embodiments of the present invention. 1 is a schematic illustration of a glove partly woven using conductive fibers to manipulate a portable electronic device equipped with a capacitive touch panel according to the present invention. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, a cuff portion of a person is specified as a lower side, a lower side, a downward side, and the like, and an end portion of the finger where the nail is located will be described as the upper side, the upper side, and the upper side.

As shown in FIG. 1, the glove 100 configured to operate a portable electronic device in contact with the capacitive touch screen according to the present invention is a body which occupies most of the glove 100 when woven from a non-conductive fiber. It may be divided into a portion 102 and conductive portions 112 and 122 that are woven using carbon fiber, which is a conductive fiber continuously at one end of the body portion 102.

Specifically, the body portion 102 is a portion covering the lower part of the finger as well as the user's palm and hand. That is, the body portion 102 is a portion fitted to the user's wrist, the portion covering the user's palms and hands, as well as the thumb portion 110, index finger portion 120, stop finger portion 130, ring finger At least the lower end of the finger portion 140 and the pinky finger portion 150.

This body portion 102 can be woven using a nonconductive material including nonconductive fibers. Non-conductive materials used to form the body portion 102 include any non-conductive material that is typically used to weave gloves. For example, the body portion 102 may be made of polyester fiber, acrylic fiber, cotton, nylon, natural leather, polyurethane, and PU. Synthetic leather / polyvinyl chloride (PVC) synthetic leather / nylon coated fabrics (NCF), synthetic leather, polarpolys fibers, synthetic chamois, It can be woven using non-conductive natural or synthetic (artificial) fibers, such as chamudes, suedes, or mixtures thereof (eg, mixed fibers of cotton and polyester). It is well known that weaving gloves using such non-conductive fibers will not be described in detail.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, the conductive parts 112 and 122 that are woven using carbon fiber, which is a conductive fiber, can be used to allow a user to operate a portable electronic device equipped with a capacitive touch panel without removing gloves. Are woven continuously at one end. For example, the conductive parts 112 and 122 may be woven to the ends of the thumb part 110 and the index finger part 120 to a length of approximately 20 to 40 mm.

Carbon fiber, which is a conductive fiber constituting the conductive parts 112 and 122, is preferable to be worn by a user because it is relatively inexpensive and has a good texture unlike other conductive fibers. Preferably, as the carbon fibers forming the conductive portions 112 and 122, "HTA40 H15 1K 67tex 15", which is carbon fibers made from "Toho Tenex", can be used. This is because the carbon fiber has good physical properties such as touch, elasticity and tensile strength and excellent conductivity.

In addition, the above-described carbon fiber may be used alone for the conductive parts 112 and 122, but when the user wears the glove 100 according to the present invention, the body part 102 may be configured to improve the feel. It can be woven by mixing with a nonconductive material, for example polyester fiber. At this time, in order to manipulate the information or data desired by the user by touching the touch screen of the portable electronic device equipped with the capacitive touch panel, which is an object of the present invention, the carbon fibers constituting the conductive parts 112 and 122 are based on the total conductive part weight. It is preferable to mix at a ratio of 70 to 90% by weight.

Meanwhile, in FIG. 1, the conductive end portion using the carbon fiber is woven into the thumb end portion 112 and the index finger end portion 122, and as the middle finger portion 130, the ring finger finger 140, and the pinky finger portion 140. It is woven from the same fiber as the body portion 102. This is because the thumb and index finger are mainly used as a touch screen of a portable electronic device adopting a capacitive touch panel.

However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in addition to the thumb end portion 112 and the index finger end portion 122 described above, at least one of the middle finger portion 130, the ring finger portion 140, and the little finger portion 150. Of course, it is possible to form a conductive portion using carbon fibers as conductive fibers in the terminal portion of.

Next, a method of operating a portable electronic device using the glove 100 according to the present invention will be briefly described. 2 is a view schematically illustrating a state in which the portable electronic device is operated by a method of contacting the touch screen of the portable electronic device using the glove according to the present invention. As shown, the user contacts the conductive portion 122 formed at the end of the index finger with the touch screen 310 of the portable electronic device 300 equipped with the capacitive touch panel while wearing the glove 100 according to the present invention. The portable electronic device 300 can be manipulated in a manner to be controlled.

In the state in which the glove 100 according to the present invention is worn, for example, a capacitive touch panel is mounted as a portable electronic device that can be operated by a method of contacting a touch screen with conductive parts woven at the ends of the thumb and the index finger. And any electronic device. For example, Apple's "iPphone", "Samsung Electronics", "Galaxy Phone" and "LG Electronics""OptimusPhone", which have recently gained huge popularity both domestically and globally. As well as a so-called touch phone including a smart phone such as the above, a monitor of a tablet PC such as Apple's "iPad", other touch monitors, etc. may be mentioned. The glove 100 according to this invention may never be used only for such an exemplary electronic device, but may be used for any electronic device employing another capacitive touch panel.

Therefore, the user can, for example, touch the conductive parts of the upper portion of the finger of the glove according to the present invention with the touch screen of the electronic device equipped with the capacitive touch panel even in a cold winter without removing the gloves. Access to the information or data you want from your device will allow you to operate your portable electronic devices.

Although the above has been described based on the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
