Detailed Description Of The Invention
In this detailed description, the protective glove (10) of the invention is explained only for a better understanding of the subject matter and without any restrictive effect.
The protective glove (10) of the invention consists of a woven layer (20), a coating (30) applied on said woven layer (11), and a silver ion-applied surface (40) formed by nano - technological application, as will be seen in Figure 2. The woven layer (20), as seen in detail in Figure 1, consists of a thumb part (23), a forefinger part (24), a middle finger (25), a ring finger part (26) and a pinky finger part (27), a body (22) configured in the continuation of said finger part, and a wrist part (21) configured further downstream of the said body (22). The body (22) consists of a structured lower body part (221) following the beginning of the wrist part (21), a structured palm part (222) in the continuation of the said lower body part (221), and a structured finger connection part (223) in the continuation of the said palm part (222). The said thumb part (23) is structured on the line where the lower body part (221) and the palm part (222) intersect. The said index finger part (24), middle finger fragment (25) and ring finger fragment (26) are configured on the line where the finger connection portion (223) ends. The said pinky finger part (27) is structured on the line where the said palm part (222) ends and at the same time the finger connection part (223) begins.
The woven layer (20) is obtained by knitting from the fingers towards the wrist part (21) in the seamless knitting machine. Accordingly, in the formation of the woven layer (20), the pinky finger part (27), the ring finger part (26), the middle finger part (25) and the index finger part (24) are respectively configured in that order. Then the ring finger part (26), the middle finger part (25) and the index finger part (24) are followed by the making of the finger connection part (223) and then in the continuation of the pinky finger part (27) and the palm part (222), the finger connection part (223) are configured. In the process, the thumb part (23), the lower body part (221) and the wrist part (21) are structured and the woven layer (20) is obtained. The manufactured woven layer (20) is in accordance with the European hand size specified in the EN 420:2003 + A1 : 2009 standard.
An ergonomic protective glove (10) that fits the user's hand is obtained by starting the pinky finger part (27) from a different position than the ring finger part (26), the middle finger part (25) and the index finger part (24) in the woven layer (20). Thus, the mobility of the fingers of the user is increased while using the protective glove (10) and accordingly, the protective glove (10) can be used more effectively.
The yarns used to form the woven layer (20) can be selected from cotton, nylon, polyester, aramid, polyethylene, glass fiber, steel wire, bamboo, CoolMax, Thermax, viscose, carbon, etc. natural or synthetic yarn groups. The protective gloves (10) to be obtained require high water holding capacity, improved abrasion and friction resistance and elasticity properties, and the protective gloves (10) preferably employ single or double-ply twisted nylon and /or polyester and yarns from elastane mixtures thereof. The yarns used are preferably 40 - 350 denier thin and 250 - 450 rounds/m twist value. Yarn fineness is determined by the number of needles in an inch in the used knitting machine. A 15 gauge machine is also used to obtain the protective glove construction of the invention.
After the knitted layer (20) is obtained, the protective glove (10) is preferably fixed in the dryer with hot air. By the fixing process, the internal stresses seen in the knitted layer (20) arising from the production are removed and the structure is stabilized to provide a durable and uniform shape. The fixed woven layer (20) is attached to hand molds with a temperature of 40 ± 10 °C, and then dipped into the coagulant solution and then into the coating chemical.
The coagulant solution may be selected from methanol-calcium nitrate solution, methanol- acetic or formic acid solution, water-calcium nitrate solution, water-acetic acid solution, ethyl alcohol-calcium chloride solution, ethyl alcohol-calcium nitrate solution or from the mixtures thereof. The immersion of the woven layer (20) into a coagulant solution aims to
increase the polymerization of the polymer latex in the chemical used in the coating process to be applied and to provide homogeneous distribution on hand molds. Hand molds dipped in the coagulant solution are preferably kept in solution for 2.5 ± 1.5 minutes.
The coating process is applied in order to create a coating (30) on the woven layer (20) so that a coating surface (31) which increases the coefficient of friction and strengthens its grip in wet, dry, oily and humid environments is formed. The coating (30) on the knitted layer (20) creates a protective glove (10) with a highly durable, lightweight, breathable properties. In the coating chemical, preferably latexes such as nitrile, latex, polyurethane, isoprene, or mixtures thereof are used. In the formula of the coating chemical, the chemicals harmful to human health and the environment, such as DMF, DMSO, THF are not used. The ideal entry rate to the coating tank for coating the woven layer (20) in the protective glove (10) is quite fast as the fingers enter the coating chemical and then the speed slows down to prevent air from being trapped in the cavities between the fingers. In addition, the hand mold is dipped into the coating chemical at a certain angle. After completion of the coating process, the removal of hand molds from the coating tank is performed at a high speed and instantly in order to prevent coating thickness variations. The more the immersion time increases, the more the coating thickness will increase in direct proportion. After the hand molds are dipped into the coating tank, 270° and 360° rotations are made to the hand mold bars, preferably 2 ± 1 minutes are expected. This ensures that the coating chemical is evenly distributed on the protective glove (10), that the coating drops are not formed and that the coating surface (31) is smooth. This rotation process also allows for free drying. When the coating process is finished, the coating chemical is filtered without exceptions and used for the next coating process.
Following the coating process, water spraying is applied to increase the roughness of the surface of the protective glove (10) and accordingly to increase the grip strength. In the water spraying process, water particles are sent over the coating (30) and a rough and fluffy coating surface (31) is created to provide optimal slip resistance. The application is carried out preferably by spraying water at 2.5 ± 1 bar pressure from moving nozzles by holding the hand molds stable.
After spraying with water, the protective gloves (10) are washed preferably in 2 different water tanks of 50 ± 10 °C. The washing process allows the removal of the particles, chemicals, and salt residues left over from the coagulant solution on the protective glove (10). Following the washing process, the filtration process is done to drain the excess water remaining on the hand molds. The removal of water ensures that the protective
gloves (10) enter the vulcanization ovens as dry and obtain an efficient vulcanization process. The vulcanization process ensures that the coating chemical dries and the cross links occur within the chemical to form a more durable layer. The vulcanization process is carried out preferably at 90 ± 20 °C for a period of 4 ± 1 hours. Vulcanization temperature and duration are determined according to the latex and the primer used for protective glove (10).
Following the vulcanization process, work gloves (10) are removed from the hand molds and, where necessary, coating reinforcement applications can be made to increase wear resistance and grip advantage. The application of coating reinforcement requires that the coated protective glove (10) be moist, and the prepared chemical is applied to the damp glove through a pattern mold and the vulcanization is performed in the oven. The coating reinforcement is preferably used as nitrile latex.
After vulcanization and, if done, coating reinforcement, the protective gloves enter the final washing process at preferably 45 ± 15 °C for hygiene and removal of chemical residues and then are dried.
Nano-technological product application is performed as the finishing process to the protective gloves (10). In this respect, silver ions are preferably used as nano - technological products in the protective glove of the invention (10). Silver ions have been selected as it has widespread use as a bacteriostatic material, providing excellent moisture management, keeps cool, preventing surface slippery and quick-drying properties, providing hygiene and freshness due to advantageous functional properties as such. Silver ions (41) are released slowly on the silver ions applied surface (40), ensuring that the structure remains chemically stable. Thus, a significant amount of antimicrobial active substance is effectively used. No binding agent such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyurethane, ethyl vinyl acetate is required for the application of silver ions (41). After the finishing process using the binding agent, an additional washing process needs to be done and this raises the extra process step, labor, and cost. Therefore, the absence of a binding agent creates an advantage in the production of protective gloves (10). Silver ion technology is resistant to up to 20 washes and therefore the protective gloves (10) have a long life-cycle without losing their functionality. The use of silver ions (41) does not cause any harm to the environment. On the contrary, it also provides an advantage because it has the ability to clean water. In the obtained protective gloves (10), no bacteria were detected in the water containing silver ion (41) in the tests performed according to TS EN ISO 9308-1 standard.
When the protective glove (10) is used, the moisture /sweat particles (50) formed by the skin are evaporated by the effect of silver ions (41) and moisture from the protective glove (10) surface is evaporated and released into the external environment. In addition to moisture transfer, long-term use of protective gloves (10) results in bacteria and related bad odor formation due to temperature and sweat. This condition is prevented by silver ions clinging to the bacterium and thus the formation of bad smell is eliminated.
Following the nano - technological product application, protective gloves (10) are branded with heat transfer printing machines and then protective gloves (10) are packaged under the motto of hygienic gloves. The protective glove (10) of the invention has a structure so that the user can move their fingers comfortably due to the form of the woven layer (20). This structure allows the user to use the ergonomic protective glove comfortably and the glove can be used for longer periods of time due to the improved capacity to work. This prevents the disposal or the wearing out of the protective glove (10) and minimizes the risks of occupational safety. Furthermore, with the finishing process with nano silver ions (41) applied to the work gloves (10), moisture particles formed in the skin (20) during the use of the protective gloves (10) can be directed out of the protective gloves (10). Thus, a breathable and refreshing structure during use can be provided. In addition, the use of silver ions (41) provides protective gloves (10) with the antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antistatic properties. In addition, silver ions (41) provide adhesion to bacteria and the negative effects of bacteria caused by sweating as a result of long-term glove use (bad odor, etc.) are neutralized.
