GLOVE WITH INTERCHANGEABLE CLOSURE, GLOVE TO ACCEPT AN INTERCHANGEABLE CLOSURE, AND EXCHANGEABLE CLOSURE

FOR ONE GLOVE

Description

The present invention relates to a glove with a replaceable closure. The invention also relates to a glove for receiving an interchangeable lock. Finally, the invention also relates to an interchangeable closure for a glove.

From DE 20 2016 000 814 Ul, a glove with decorative elements that can be exchanged by Velcro is known. The glove there has in the area of the wearer's wrist an opening extending essentially in the longitudinal direction of the glove up to approximately the middle of the hand, which with a closure, namely a tongue or closure tongue, with adjustment of the width of the opening and thus the width of the glove can be closed. For this purpose, the locking tongue has a Velcro area on the underside which can be brought into engagement with a corresponding Velcro area on the upper side of the glove.

Furthermore, the locking tongue of the known glove is also equipped with a second Velcro area on the top. Matching and exchangeable counterparts can be attached to this second Velcro area, which in turn have a Velcro area on the underside. Any decorative elements, in particular gemstones or different materials, and / or color and / or graphic designs, and / or lettering or logos, or similar decorative elements can be attached to the top of a counterpart.

The wearer receives a glove with decorative elements that can be flexibly attached and quickly exchanged, but the glove can also be used without decorative elements. The disadvantage of the known glove, however, is that the counterparts should be placed exactly fitting on the top of the locking tongue, because otherwise the visual impression suffers or counterparts could be lost. Wei ter, the closure of the known glove has a total of two pairs of Velcro with a total of four Velcro areas arranged one above the other, namely on the one hand at the bottom between the glove and the closure, and on the other hand at the top between the closure and counterpart. As a result, the area of the fastener is relatively thick compared to the rest of the glove and can clearly apply to it.

The present invention is based on the object of overcoming the disadvantages known from the prior art.

Furthermore, the object is to specify a glove or parts thereof which can be customized quickly and without sacrificing comfort and / or appearance.

A glove with the features of claim 1 first contributes to solving the above-mentioned objects.

Advantageous refinements and developments are the subject of the subordinate claims.

A glove for receiving an exchangeable fastener according to claim 29 and an exchangeable fastener for a glove according to claim 30 also contribute to achieving the above-mentioned objects.

The glove according to the invention specified according to claim 1 has an interchangeable closure.

The closure of the glove according to the invention can be provided with decorative elements already mentioned on the upper side.

An interchangeable closure is to be understood as a closure which can be optionally removed from the actual glove and reattached. For example, the wearer of the glove can attach a different closure with the decorative elements desired in each case to the glove by exchanging the closure.

This eliminates the need to attach an additional counterpart with decorative elements on the top of a closure.

In contrast to the state of the art, the closure area is less bulky than the rest of the glove. In addition, any decorative elements can be arranged precisely and neatly directly on the closure. An offset or a soiling of a Velcro connection as well as the risk of losing decorative elements are effectively averted.

The aspects according to the invention are discussed further below, for which purpose reference is made in part to non-limiting advantageous embodiments and developments of the invention. The features of advantageous developments can be implemented individually or in any combination, thereby creating further advantageous embodiments of the invention.

In the context of the discussion of advantageous configurations and developments of the glove according to the invention, advantageous configurations and developments of the glove according to the invention for receiving an exchangeable fastener and the exchangeable fastener according to the invention for a glove are also discussed.

The glove according to the invention can preferably have a riding, driving, western, cycling or golf glove. These sports are usually practiced with gloves.

In the area of the wearer's wrist, the glove preferably has an opening which extends essentially in the longitudinal direction of the glove, possibly up to about the middle of the hand and which can be closed with a closure while adjusting the width of the opening and thus the width of the glove .

Such a closure can also be implemented independently of such an opening and provide closure of the glove by means of an adjustable narrowing of the glove in the area of the wrist of the wearer. The closure preferably has a closure tongue. Such a locking tongue can also be referred to as a patch or latch.

The closure preferably has a Velcro area on the underside which can be brought into engagement with a corresponding Velcro area on the upper side of the glove.

The glove particularly preferably has a groove into which exchangeable closures can be inserted. Such a groove could also be referred to as a channel or tunnel.

Such a groove preferably extends essentially in the longitudinal direction of the glove.

Such a groove is preferably arranged or incorporated on one side of an opening already mentioned, and particularly preferably extends essentially parallel to such an opening.

The groove is preferably designed in such a way that a closure can be pushed into the groove with its glove-side end in the longitudinal direction of the groove. More preferably, the groove and / or the glove-side end of the closure are designed in such a way that the closure cannot be removed from the groove perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the groove, and thus a form fit is provided in this regard.

In this case, the closure can preferably remain pivotable about the longitudinal axis of the groove at least in a certain angular range in the pushed-in state.

The groove is preferably designed such that its cross section tapers in the direction of the outside of the glove. The outside of the groove should have a recess through which the part of the closure that is not received in the groove can extend outward.

The glove-side end of the closure preferably has a thickening which preferably extends in the longitudinal direction of the glove and / or the groove. Such a thickening can preferably be designed as a rod-shaped thickening, rod or tongue (based on a tongue-and-groove connection).

The closure, in particular as a closure tongue or tongue, preferably has a Velcro area on the underside, and can thereby close the glove in the usual way. The glove in turn preferably has a corresponding Velcro area on the top.

Due to the Velcro connection between the closure and the glove, in principle no further centering of the tongue on the glove or fixing of the tongue along the groove is necessary, even if the closure itself could be displaced in the groove.

Preferably, however, a latching mechanism can be provided between the groove and the glove-side end of the closure, which can provide an exact alignment or positioning of the closure in relation to the groove.

The top of a closure can preferably be equipped with any decorative elements, such as gemstones, colored or graphic designs, logos, lettering, advertising messages, colors, patterns, different materials, different surface textures, or combinations thereof.

In addition to or in addition to the advantageous refinements and developments of the teaching already discussed, exemplary embodiments of the invention shown in the drawing within the scope of FIGS. 1 to 4 are explained in more detail below. However, the examples discussed with reference to the drawing do not restrict the invention to the examples shown. When discussing the exemplary embodiments with reference to the drawing, generally preferred configurations and further developments of the teaching are shown.

Developments of the advantageous refinements described above with features of the exemplary embodiments below, like further developments of the exemplary embodiments described below with features of the refinements described above, expressly form further advantageous refinements of the invention and are therefore part of the present disclosure.

With regard to the following explanation of the figures, it should generally be pointed out that reference numerals already shown in previous figures and in this regard already explained above have not been reapplied in part for reasons of clarity in subsequent figures and / or on the basis of these subsequent figures partly not be explained again. For the explanation of such reference symbols and the associated technical features, to avoid repetition, reference is made in full to the respective description for the corresponding preceding figures.

4 in an upper view the exemplary embodiment of the glove according to the invention from FIG. 3a with a properly inserted and fastened exchangeable closure.

Fig. 1 shows in a top view a preferred embodiment of the inventions to the invention glove 10 for receiving an exchangeable closure, and at the same time a preferred embodiment of the glove 10 according to the invention, but with the closure removed.

The glove 10 has an opening 12 in the area of the wrist of the wearer, extending essentially in the longitudinal direction of the glove 10, up to about the middle of the hand, with a closure (not shown here) with adjustment of the width the opening 12 and thus the width of the glove 10 can be closed.

The glove 10 has a groove 14 to the right of the opening 12 into which interchangeable closures can be inserted. The groove 14 could also be referred to as a channel or tunnel.

The groove 14 extends essentially in the longitudinal direction of the glove 10 and parallel to the right edge of the opening 12.

The groove 14 is designed in such a way that a closure can be pushed into the groove 14 with its glove-side end in the longitudinal direction of the groove 14 starting from the middle of the glove (in this illustration from above), or alternatively also from below.

The groove 14 is designed in such a way that the closure inserted therein cannot be removed from the groove 14 perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the latter, and thus a form fit is given in this direction.

For this purpose, the cross section of the groove 14 narrows in the direction of the outside of the glove 10, so that a thickened end of a fastener, although in the longitudinal direction direction into the groove 14, but is not removable from the groove 14 perpendicular to this longitudinal direction.

The closure remains pivotable about the longitudinal axis of the groove 14 even in the pushed-in state. In particular, in conjunction with a fastener made of flexible material, it is possible to establish contact between the underside of a fastener and the Velcro area 16 of the upper side 18 of the glove without any problems.

The groove 14 can be incorporated integrally into the glove 10 or subsequently attached to the glove 10, for example by sewing, gluing, stapling or the like.

The glove 10 according to the invention can preferably be a riding, driving, western, cycling or golf glove. These sports are usually practiced with gloves 10. In this respect, the glove 10 can have a customary design and customary material properties. The glove 10 can in particular be made of leather or synthetic fibers.

Fig. 2 shows in a bottom view a preferred embodiment of the invention to the invention closure 100 for a glove 10, which is reversibly removable from the glove 10 and reattachable.

The closure 100 is designed here as a closure tongue 102 or tongue 102. This tongue 102 could also be referred to as a patch or latch. The outer contour of the tongue 102 is known per se, for example from riding or golf gloves, and these can be made of a material known in this regard, for example plastic.

The bottom 104 of the tongue 102 has a Velcro area 106 which corresponds to the Velcro area 16 on the top 18 of the glove 10.

Here, the closure 100 has a rod-shaped thickening 108 at its glove-side end, which can be pushed into the groove 14 of the glove 10 in the manner described above. This thickening 108 could also be referred to as a rod 110 or tongue (in relation to a tongue and groove connection). If the tongue 102 with the rod-shaped thickening 108 is pushed into the groove 14 of the glove 10 and the groove 14 has a reduction in cross section in the direction of the side facing away from the glove 10, it can be seen that the closure 100 cannot be opened by pulling on the closure 100 can be pulled out of the groove 14, since it is positively fixed within the groove 14.

The tongue 102 can be pushed out of this alone in the longitudinal direction of the groove 14 as soon as the Velcro connection of the Velcro areas 16, 106 between the glove 10 and the tongue 102 is released.

3a shows, in an upper perspective view, the insertion of the closure 100 from FIG. 2 into the groove 14 of the glove 10 from FIG. 1, and at the same time a preferred exemplary embodiment of the glove 10 according to the invention.

This figure shows specifically the insertion of the rod-shaped thickening 108 (rod 110, tongue) of the locking tongue 102 from FIG. 2 into the groove 14 of the glove 10 from FIG. 1. The insertion is illustrated by the two arrows drawn. The tongue 102 is pushed into the groove 14 until the position corresponding to the Velcro area 16 of the glove 10 is reached. Then, if necessary, the locking tongue 102 is pulled in order to build up some tension and thus adapt the width of the glove 10. For this purpose, the bottom 104 and the top 105 of the tongue 102 can be gripped between two fingers.

Then the tongue 102 with its Velcro area 106 is pivoted up to the Velcro area 16 of the glove 10 and is thus fixed. Unintentional pushing the tongue 102 out of the groove 14 is then no longer possible.

When the rod-shaped thickening 108 is pushed into the groove 14, an end stop can be provided which automatically specifies the correct end position of the closure 100. Alternatively, a latching mechanism with the same effect can be implemented between the inner wall of the groove 14 and the thickening 108.

Thus, FIG. 3 a also shows a preferred exemplary embodiment of the glove 10 according to the invention together with an exchangeable closure 100.

Fig. 3b shows a De taildarstellung seen along the sectional plane indicated in Fig. 3a, which very clearly shows the definition of the rod-shaped thickening 108 (rod 110, tongue) of the closure 100 in the groove 14 (channel, tunnel) shows. Both the groove 14 and the rod 110 essentially have a teardrop-shaped cross-section when viewed in the sectional plane, so that the rod 110 can be pushed in and out of the groove 14 perpendicular to the sectional plane, but not removed from the groove 14 along the sectional plane can be, since a form fit is established in this respect.

The outside of the groove 14 has a recess 20 through which the part of the closure 100 that is not received in the groove 14 extends outward.

The rod 110 can be pivoted within the groove 14 to a certain extent about its longitudinal axis. Accordingly, especially if the closure 100 is preferably also made of a flexible material, the closing and opening of the glove 10 by pivoting the closure tongue 102 about the longitudinal axis of the groove 14 is unproblematic.

The groove 14 is arranged here retrospectively on the glove 10 and fixed in appro priate manner. The groove 14 or the channel can optionally also be produced integrally and together with the glove 10 during the production of the glove 10.

FIG. 4 shows in an upper view the exemplary embodiment of the glove 10 according to the invention from FIG. 3 a, which thus comprises the glove 10 from FIG. 1 and the closure 100 from FIG. 2. The fastener 100 is here properly inserted into the groove 14 and then attached to the Velcro area 16 of the glove 10 to close the glove 10.

The top 105 of the exchangeable closure 100 is provided here with decorative elements 112, e.g. with gemstones, colored or graphic designs, logos, lettering, advertising messages, or combinations thereof.

Thus, different decorative elements 112 can be exchanged together with the closure 100 very quickly and accurately. The appearance of the glove 10 can thus be varied quickly and reliably with a very clean appearance; furthermore, the area of the closure 100 is not thicker, stiffer or more unwieldy than with conventional gloves without such decorative elements 112.
