Definitions

• the present invention is related to the field of industrial safety, more specifically for the safety of the fingertips.
• the present invention consists of a finger protection element that corresponds to a special attachment, which is fixed to the fingertips of a safety glove, so as to protect the fingertips from squeezes, bumps, scratches, cuts or stabs in the development of a potentially dangerous job.
• the attachment is a piece of a hard and resistant material similar to a half-closed rod at one end, which provides protection and does not interfere with fine motor skills and the feeling of conformity in its use. Background of the invention
• Safety gloves must be worn by all Company personnel, whether production or supervision who are exposed to detailed risks. Therefore, the present invention solves the problem of occupational safety, since a third of work accidents in the industry has been involving the fingers, hands and arms.
• Countless work gloves used in the industry are widely known, which have been incorporating specific elements according to the activity to be developed.
• the most widely used gloves are leather gloves, on which it has been modified, as for example, to reinforce it by incorporating a greater number of layers in the areas most exposed to damage from cuts, scrapes, and so on.
• its seam design has been modified, making them more resistant, or incorporating elements such as rubber or PVC dots (polyvinyl chloride) to make them non-slip.
• US2008216209 patent incorporates metal rings around the fingers, inserted inside the glove, however, this only achieves a certain degree of protection to the fingers With these rings, the glove does not lose flexibility or manipulation of the glove, although it provides only partial protection.
• US20110041225 refers to a glove that has protective patches located inside the glove in the upper dorsal part of the fingertips to prevent damage to the upper part of the fingers from contact with the outside and friction or friction against the inner surface of the glove.
• the protective pads can be made of soft or soft material, so as not to scrape, sand or damage the nails.
• US20100071114 refers to a construction glove comprising a glove in the form of a human hand, said glove has pointed portions associated therewith, and a plurality of protections in elongated members that substantially extend to along the length of the fingers and the thumb, next to the portions of the fingertips and the thumb, a layer that has upper and lower surfaces.
• this design prevents the development of an activity in which fine motor skills are required, since by incorporating protective elements in the length of the fingers it makes it very rigid.
• a hand protector obtained by the parts covering edehyde corresponding to the second finger to the fifth finger of a glove with a tubular reinforcement comprising a plurality of tubes is reduced in viability due to the elements of reinforcement are tubular.
• This patent incorporates tubular elements to the entire length of the finger, that is, the inner and outer face of the finger, making manipulation very difficult.
• the present invention addresses a problem that does not have a solution in the prior art, that completely satisfies the safety requirements and that does not compromise fine motor skills for the operation. Therefore, the objective of the present invention is to develop a protective element for a finger of a glove.
• the present invention consists of a protective element or attachment for a finger of a glove and a glove having at least one of said elements, which corresponds to a protective attachment made of a resistant material.
• Figure 1 schematically depicts the protective finger attachment.
• Figure 2 schematically shows any finger, the contour of the glove (2) and the protective element (1) located at the tip of the glove.
• Figure 3 shows the side view of the protective element of the present invention proposed herein.
• Figure 4 shows the rear view of the protective element of the present invention.
• Figure 5 shows the top view of the protective element of the present invention.
• the present invention consists of a protective element or attachment made of various resistant materials, for example, but not limited to: hard plastic, polymeric materials such as polyamide, fiberglass or metal.
• This attachment is firmly attached or fixed to each end of the glove, being able to be inside or outside it, and contemplates a carefully designed height so that it is not difficult to take.
• the piece may suffer minor variations in its shape and size depending on the finger to which this attachment will be attached, and may be incorporated into one or more fingers as required, but the concept will always be the same, which serves as protection for the fingers.
• the protective element or attachment differs considerably from inventions that have the same objective, existing in the world, mainly because their form considers factors, not only of effective limb protection, which is the main purpose, but also incorporates type factors ergonomic that give you incomparable benefits from the point of view of the Fine motor skills and a sense of comfort in use, compared to models that contemplate a complete protective cover of the limb.
• the protective covers proposed here rarely touch each other, being located on the fingers of the glove, generating less friction and interference between the fingers, when the glove is in use.
• the invented protective element contemplates the posterior supports at the height of the first phalanges of the fingers, which are naturally located at different distances from the base of the hand in accordance with the different finger lengths.
• the protective element or attachment can be made of various hard materials and has the shape of a half-rod closed at its tip and open at the opposite end and in part of its lateral sides, where said attachment is located at the distal end of the dorsal part of the fingers of the glove, and said element has its upper part in the form of an elongated semicircle attached to a semi-ring, its lateral face is discontinuous and the anterior end closed.
• the glove that has at least one of said protective elements or attachments is also described.
