Gloves

【Technical field】

The present invention relates to gloves used in sports competitions, particularly bicycles and motorcycles.

[Background Art]

Motorcycle sports competitions involve falling, especially in on-road type motorcycles (types of motorcycles that mainly run on paved roads are called on-road types). The car is cornering, and if the road surface is abnormal, it tends to fall frequently. Gloves with protective pads sewn are used to protect riders (indicating motorcycle drivers) from being thrown from high-speed driving and being injured by scratching against hard asphalt or concrete road surfaces.

On the other hand, motorcycles of the off-road type (motorcycles that mainly drive on unpaved roads are called off-loader types. Motorcycles for motocross, etc. belong to the off-road type). It is often used for completely different unpaved roads, especially off-road rallies (motorcycles that run on rough roads such as deserts and savanna are called rally). Therefore, it is necessary to protect the rider's body from contact or collision with obstacles such as trees and rocks on the traveling route, and gloves using protective pads are also used.

For example, in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 08-1880908), each joint is covered with a protective material composed of a gel body, Kepler (aramid fiber), and leather. The rider's fingers are protected.

In the gloves of Patent Document 1, protection by the protective material is performed on the entire back side of the fingertip from the elbow (the back side of the hand with respect to the palm side is called the back side in anatomy. For example, Kazuya Funato, "Keio Gijuku University School of Medicine Anatomy Department Electronic Textbook General anatomy ", page 6., [Retrieved on 8th t), <u RL · 'http: // web. Sc. Itc. Keio. Ac. Jp / anatomy / generales / generalises , html〉), but such protective members impede ventilation, especially in hot weather. In off-road racing such as road racing and desert environments, discomfort was large, and there was a tendency to increase operation errors caused by slippage due to sweating.

Also, in Patent Document 2 (Japanese Utility Model Registered Publication No. 304659), the joints of the fingers and the ulnar projections of the wrist (located at the palm-side end of the ulna) and protruding outward. This is the part that is called the stalk-shaped protrusion in anatomy.For example, Toshio Terashima, "Notes on Kobe University Digital Library Anatomy Lecture Systematic Anatomy Lecture Note 2 0 0 4 Chapter 7 Bone Coupling (Arthrology , Or ligament studies), page 5 of, [Search on May 8, 1994], <URL: http: // www. Lib. Kobe-u. Ac. Jp / products / anatomy / keitou / chap7. pdf>) Rigid protective members are provided locally to protect the rider's fingers.

In the glove of Patent Document 2, the protective member is provided locally at the joint, and the ventilation is improved as compared with the glove of Patent Document 1.

However, gloves used for riders and the like in Patent Literature 2 concentrate protection on the back of the hand, and do not provide sufficient protection against contact or impact from the side. In particular, the ulnar side (the half of the little finger of the finger is called the ulna side, and the thumb side is called the radial side. For example, Kazuya Funato, see "Electronic Textbook General Anatomy, Keio University School of Medicine Anatomy Department," p. 6. URL: http-'// web. Sc. Itc. Keio. Ac. Jp / anatomy / generales / general is02. Html>) is vulnerable to contact and impact.

Also, when the rider falls and puts his hand on the palm with the palm facing the ground, a large impact is applied to the ulna, which faces the outer side of the rider, and the carpal bone joint group (eight carpal bones) Of these, it consists of four carpals located on the ulnar side of the hooked bones, pea, triangular and lunate bones, and joints such as the pea joints connecting these four carpals These joints are collectively referred to as a carpal bone joint group in the present specification.). The present invention can solve such a problem. That is, the metacarpal part of the user's ulna (a part corresponding to the distal part of the carpal, here, a part from the carpal to the base of each finger) is shown. It is an object of the present invention to provide a glove capable of protecting a finger of a rider, particularly a carpal bone joint group, against a shock from a side by providing a protection member along a side surface.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has taken the following measures. That is, a protection member is provided on the base side of the glove main body and on the side surface thereof to cover and protect the carpal bone joint group along the metacarpal side of the ulna side of the user. As a result, since the protection member attenuates the impact from the ulna side, it is possible to protect the rider's fingers, particularly the carpal bone joint group, against the impact from the side.

The protection member is provided on the ulna side with respect to a vertical line vertically lowered from the third joint of the fourth finger toward the wrist.

Thus, the protection member is provided at a position where the bending and stretching movement of the finger is not hindered, and even if the protection member is provided, the handle lip can be reliably gripped. The protection member is provided along the metacarpal surface on the ulna side, and is formed like a head of a golf club when developed on a plane.

Thus, the protection member does not hinder the bending movement of the joint, and can also have the effect of protecting the rider's fingers from a side impact.

The protective member is a palm ball (a base part on the ulna side and has a build-up on the palm side. This edge is a part that has particularly few muscles and is vulnerable to impact.) Along the edge, the ulna side It extends from the radial side.

In this way, the carpal bone joints that are susceptible to damage when the palm touches the ground during a fall can be protected by the protective member, and the impact at the time of the fall, especially the impact from the side (in case of collision with an obstacle) This protects the rider's hand from impacts from the side of the ulna and from below (impact from the palm to the back of the hand when the palm is worn when falling).

The protection member is formed by covering a base with fiber fibers entangled with a synthetic resin.

As a result, the weight can be reduced as compared with a protection member made of metal or the like, the rider's fatigue can be reduced, and it can be easily used as a racing item.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. The glove 1 is composed of a pair of left and right hands for the left hand and the right hand. The one shown is for the left hand, and is a wrist portion 6 of a driver such as a motorcycle (so-called anatomical term indicating a wrist). It is mainly used to cover the hand 2 at the tip from the vicinity (see Fig. 2 or Fig. 3; the tip side from the wrist is called the hand) to protect the hand 2 of the user. Gloves 1 are sewn on the back of the hand (see Fig. 2; the so-called anatomical term for the back of the hand) and the palm side (see Fig. 3; the anatomical term for the palm). It is divided into each part of the hand part 2 (finger part 3, hand back part 4, palm part 5, hand part 6, etc.).

The finger portion 3 is a portion that protects from the vicinity of the third joint 7c to the fingertip. The finger back surface 8 (the portion on the back side of the finger) has a tip portion made of a suede cloth 9 and the second joint 7 The vicinity of b is formed of an elastic fabric 11 in which an elastic member such as rubber is woven, and a vent hole 12 is provided between the second joint 7b and the third joint 7c. On the palm surface 10 (the opposite side of the back of the finger, the so-called finger pad), a rubber cloth 24 is used on the tip side, and synthetic leather 2 is used between the second joint 7 b and the wrist 6. 8 is used.

The use of the elastic fabric 11 for the joint 7 facilitates bending of the fingers, and the use of the rubber cloth 24 for the palm surface 10 provides an effect of preventing slippage with the brake lever. In addition, the suede cloth 9 has an anti-slip effect with the rubber handle grip.

In FIG. 4, the vent hole 12 penetrates the center of a synthetic rubber ventilation pad 15 having a substantially hemispherical overlay 14 on one surface of an elliptical plate 13, and is provided at the top of the overlay 14. It is open so that it spreads out toward the outside, so that outside air can be collected and sent into gloves. In addition, the ventilation pad 15 is sewn at the edge with the mesh cloth 16, and the mesh cloth 16 is perforated at the part in contact with the ventilation port 12, so as not to block the ventilation The mesh cloth 16 is a woven or knitted fabric obtained by spirally weaving, plain weaving, twill weaving, or the like a woven material using synthetic fibers such as rayon, polyester, polyurethane, aramide, and nylon, and has a mesh of 200 or less. The fabric is used for the outer and lining materials, and both are sewn together. In order to enhance the effect of protecting the hand portion 2 from impacts and cuts, a fiber yarn made of aramid / nylon is preferably used for the mesh cloth 16.

The mesh cloth 16 used for the ventilation port 12 or the back part 4 constitutes an outside air inflow means 27.By providing the outside air inflow means 27, the air permeability is improved, and the inside of the glove is prevented from becoming stuffy. be able to.

Further, by using the mesh cloth 16 as a bonded cloth, the ventilation pad 15 and the protection member 17 can be easily sewn, and rough skin due to direct contact of the ventilation pad 15 and the protection member 17 can be prevented. Can be prevented.

The back of the hand 4 is a portion from the vicinity of the third joint 7 c of each finger to the vicinity of the wrist 6, and is a so-called “back of the hand”. As described above, it is composed of the mesh cloth 16 so that good air permeability is maintained, and the four third joints 7c protruding portions 7c from the second finger 3b to the fifth finger 3e (second A protective member 17a on the back of the hand is provided so as to entirely cover the third joint part of the fifth finger from the finger protruding toward the back of the hand. In addition, a protective member 17b on the ulna side is provided so as to cover the side surface from the ulna side of the back of the hand 4 to the ulna side of the palm part 5.

Hereinafter, the protective member 17b of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The protection member 17 b is provided on the side of the ulna side of the hand portion 2 so that the hand portion 2 can be protected from a side impact.

In FIG. 5, the fourth finger 3 d is provided on the ulna side from a perpendicular line 18 vertically lowered from the third joint 7 c of the fourth finger toward the wrist portion 6, and the protection member 17 b serves as a handle grip. In addition to being provided in a position that does not hinder the secure grip, hooked bone 31, bean bone 32, triangular bone 33, lunar bone 34, and the beans that connect these bones It is provided at a position where the carpal bone joint group 30 on the ulnar side composed of joints such as the bone joints 35 can be protected. The protection member 17b is provided to bend along the side surface of the ulna, and it is possible to reduce an impact applied from the side, particularly from the lower part of the palm. In other words, when the rider puts his hand on the palm 5 with the palm 5 facing the ground when the motorcycle falls, the above-mentioned protection is applied to the impact that may be applied from the lower part of the palm, especially the lower part of the ulna. It can be reduced by the member 17b.

The protective member 1b is formed like a head of a golf club when expanded in a plane, and the top of the head extends from the ulna side to the radial side, and is formed at the edge of the palm. It is provided so as to surround the carpal bone joint group 30 along. By forming the protective member 17b into a head shape, the brake operation and the grip operation can be performed smoothly without disturbing the bending motion of the finger joint, and the side and the lower side of the palm are provided. The wrist bone joint group 30, which is the most vulnerable to the impact applied to the hand 2 from the direction, can be effectively protected.

In addition, by extending the protective member 17 b from the ulna side to the radial side along the edge of the palm bulb so as to surround the carpal bone joint group 30, the carpal bone joint group 30 on the ulnar side Can be protected from impacts from the side and below the palm part 5.

The protective member 17b may have a head shape including the head shape, for example, a circular shape or a rounded polygon. However, the protective member 1 has a point that it can most effectively protect the carpal bone joint group 30 that is vulnerable to the impact applied from the side and the lower part of the palm part 5 and does not hinder the bending movement of the finger joint. 7b is more preferably formed in a head shape.

In FIG. 6, the protective member 17b is attached to a mesh cloth 16 or a synthetic leather 14 by sewing its edge. The protective member 17b is composed of an outer composite plate 19 and a cushioning material 20 adhered to the back surface of the composite plate 19, and the composite plate 19 is entangled with fiber yarn. And a synthetic resin 22 that covers the substrate 21.

The substrate 21 is formed by plain weaving a single yarn, a spinning or a tape string (a tape formed by extruding a synthetic resin into a flat plate) composed of a fiber yarn made of carbon fiber, glass fiber, or aramide. ing. By using the woven substrate 21, the protection member 17 b can be freely bent. The composite plate 19 is formed by coating the base 21 with a polyurethane-based, polyolefin-based or epoxy-based synthetic resin 22. As a result, the weight can be reduced without compromising the abrasion resistance and the like, as compared with the case where only metal or glass fiber is used. A cushioning material 20 made of a gel body or foamed polyurethane is adhered to the back surface of the protective member 17b, so that the hard composite plate 19 can be prevented from being strongly pressed against the skin. I have.

The palm part 5 is located on the back surface of the back part 4 across the fingers, and is made of the synthetic leather 18 as described above. A suede cloth 9 may be attached and reinforced in order to protect the back surface of the third joint 7c of each finger, to which a strong force is likely to be applied locally, or to prevent the synthetic leather 18 from breaking. Further, the suede cloth 9 may be coated with rubber, elastomer, or the like to have a non-slip effect.

The wrist portion 6 is formed of a rubber cloth 11 and can be locked so as to surround the wrist portion 6 with a zipper or the like. Note that a protective member similar to the protective member 17b may be provided so as to cover the ulnar process so as to protect the joint of the wrist portion 6. In the glove 1 used for a rider or the like of the present invention, a base 21 made by weaving fiber yarns is coated with a synthetic resin 22 such as polyurethane, and cured by heat and pressure to obtain a composite plate 19. The composite plate 19 is curved between the upper and lower molds while applying heat and pressure so as to conform to the ulnar side surface of the hand 2. Next, a cushioning material 20 is adhered to the back surface of the obtained composite board 19 using an adhesive such as a polyurethane-based or epoxy-based adhesive. The protective member 17b thus obtained is sewn to the side of the ulna side to obtain a glove 1 used for a rider or the like.

In the present invention, it is best that the shape of each member and the positional relationship between the front, rear, left, right, upper and lower portions in the above embodiment are configured as shown in FIGS. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the members and the configuration can be variously modified and the combination can be changed.

Gloves 1 used for riders, etc. can be used not only for motorcycle driving but also for sports in which there is a possibility of falling over or hitting hands widely. Sports that may fall or hit hands, such as yachts, windsurfers, snowboards, rollerboards, paragliders, hang riders, and buggy, car It is also used for driving three-wheel or four-wheel vehicles such as cars, car rallies, carts and construction vehicles, or for driving special vehicles with crawlers. This is because these vehicles, like two wheels, often fall and collide, and require protection of the driver's body.

The glove 1 used for a rider or the like may or may not have a fingertip. Further, although it is preferable to provide the elastic fabric 11 in the joint portion 7, it is not necessary to provide it. The protective member 17 (a generic name for the ulnar-side protective member 17 b and the dorsal-side protective member 17 a is shown) is attached at the ulnar side of the back 4 or palm 5 and the second finger 3. It is not limited to b to the third joint 7c of the fifth finger 3e. It may be provided to protect the joint 7 of the first finger 3a or the joint of the wrist 6. In addition, an uneven structure is formed on the surface of the composite plate 19 of the protective member 17, roughening is performed with sand blast or the like to prevent slippage with the handle lip, a rubber cloth 24 or the like is provided outside the composite plate 19. A suede cloth 9 may be provided.

It is preferable to use a composite plate 19 in which the base member 21 is covered with a synthetic resin 22 for the protective member 17. However, a metal pad or Kepler knit may be used, and a cushioning material may be provided on the inner surface of the composite plate 19. 20 is not necessarily required. This is because the cushioning material 20 may not be required depending on the protection member 17.

As the outside air inflow means 27, either the ventilation port 12 or the mesh cloth 16 may be employed, or both may be employed. In the case of gloves without fingertips, the opening at the tip may constitute the outside air inflow means 27.

The shape of the protection member 17b is not limited to the head shape as described above, but may be a circle or a polygon with rounded corners.

Instead of the slide cloth 9 and the rubber cloth 24, the synthetic leather 28 may be provided with a slip prevention projection formed of synthetic rubber or the like to prevent slip. The protective member 17 may not be sewn, and may be an adhesive or a fitting type.

[Industrial applicability]

The present invention relates to sports that may fall or hit hands such as yachts, windsurfers, snowboards, rollerboards, paragliders, and hang gliders, and tricycles such as buggies, car races, car rallies, carts, and construction vehicles. if Or for driving four-wheel vehicles or special vehicles with crawlers, etc.
