Cut-Resistant Glove

Abstract

A cut-resistant glove is provided which is formed of a composite yarn comprising a core and a covering layer formed by wrapping a covering fiber around the core, the core being composed of a metal thin wire and an attending yarn comprising a filament yarn, the surface of which is coated with a rubber or a resin. The cut-resistant glove is excellent not only in moisture absorption property, putting-on-feeling, use feeling and workability in the state of being put on, but also in non-slip property, water proofness, strength and cut-resistant property.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a cut-resistant glove and, more particularly, to a cut-resistant glove to be used for protective products such as protective fabrics, protective clothes, protective aprons for cutting workers in edible meat processing works where sharp blades are used, and in glass producing or processing works or metal processing works where glass and metal plates with sharp edges are handled.BACKGROUND ART[0002]As such yarns used for a cut-resistant glove, use of metal yarn (wire) alone for armors or the like has formerly been a main stream especially in Europe. In recent years, to make such yarn lightweight and to improve the workability and strength, various kinds of composite yarns comprising metal yarn in combination with cotton yarn and high strength filaments have been proposed.[0003]For example, a core-sheath composite yarn produced by winding a synthetic fiber and thus covering a core comprising a high strength yarn and a wire with the ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0012]Inventors of the present invention have made an intensive series of investigations for solving the above-mentioned problems and have found that a cut-resistant glove which is formed of a composite yarn comprising a core and a covering layer formed by wrapping a covering fiber around the core, the core being composed of a metal thin wire and an attending yarn comprising a filament yarn, the surface of which is coated with a rubber or a resin could attain the above-mentioned objects.

[0013]Further, the inventors of the present invention have found that in the case of knitting a glove, plating is carried out by using a specified fiber and the plated fiber is knitted to be set in the inner side of the glove, so that the glove could further be improved in elastic property, moisture absorption property, the putting-on-feeling or use feeling and workability at the time the glove is put on.

Problems solved by technology

However, although having cut resistance, the above-mentioned conventional composite yarns are inferior in moisture absorption property and also inferior in knitting processability, for example, since the stainless wire and the glass fiber are sometimes ruptured in the case of producing gloves by knitting the composite yarns and gloves produced by knitting the composite yarns give uncomfortable putting-on-feeling or use feeling, and particularly, the ruptured stainless wire and glass fiber irritatingly stimulate the skin, and therefore, the workability in the case where the gloves are put on is not satisfactory.

Especially, there is a serious problem that the stainless wire and glass fiber used as cores are exposed to the outside of the composite yarns and prickly irritate hands and fingers.

Further, when sharp blades and the like are handled, there are included problems that cut dust of a covering fiber arises, and that water, oil and the like soak into a glove at the time of working due to the absence of waterproofness.
