Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to a glove that includes a coating layer with breathing pores that ensure breathability and prevent water from entering when the glove is not worn. This prevents uncomfortable feelings that arise from water during wearing of the glove. The density or areas of the breathing pores on the parts of the glove that correspond to the parts of a hand of the wearer are made high or large, which reduces humidity and improves grip force. Different breathing pores can be formed according to the different parts of the glove to maintain durability while responding to breathability different from part to part.

Problems solved by technology

When being provided in such a state, the glove has the problem that when the glove is not in use, water might penetrate the glove through the pores in the resin layer and damps the inside of the glove.
In addition, the glove disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-129418 has the problem that since optimization of securing of breathability and how the inside of the glove get humid are not performed, workability, breathability, and usability for a worker to work with the glove on cannot be secured.
In addition, there is the problem that optimization of securing of breathability and how the inside of the glove get humid is not performed, workability, breathability, and usability for a worker to work with the glove on cannot be secured.

first embodiment

[0090]A first embodiment will be described.

[0091](Overall Summary)

[0092]First, the summary of a glove according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. The glove according to the first embodiment has a shape conforming with the shape of a human hand, and is used in a state where a user who is an ordinary human is wearing the glove on his / her hand.

[0093]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the glove according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 shows a palm side view of a glove 1. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the glove according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0094]FIG. 2 shows a palm back side view of the glove 1, which is the opposite side from in FIG. 1.

[0095]The glove 1 includes a base layer 2, a coating 3 formed on a surface of the base layer 2, and a plurality of breathing pores 4 formed in the coating 3. The base layer 2 has the shape of a hand, and is made of fibers having a stretching property. The coatin...

second embodiment

[0153]Next a second embodiment will be described. Regarding the second embodiment, the relationship between the parts of the glove 1 and the breathing pores 4 will be described.

[0154]The glove 1, of course, is worn on a human hand. The glove 1 of the present invention expands the opening areas of the breathing pores 4 according to wearing of the glove 1, thereby securing breathability. Here, when a person with his / her hand worn with a glove works, sweat or humidity is collected at different locations on his / her hand. Further, in addition to the difference in location where sweat or humidity is collected, the level of discomfort due to sweat or humidity varies for respective locations. For example, the base of the finger 6 is easily depressed because of its structure, and sweat or water easily collects in this depression.

[0155]Thus, it may be necessary to provide differences in level of breathability among parts of a hand (parts of the glove 1). It is preferred that the differences i...

third embodiment

[0202]Next, a third embodiment will be described. In the third embodiment, a design for opening the breathing pores 4 more easily will be described.

[0203]FIGS. 8A and 8B are side views of the glove 1 in the third embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 8A shows a side view of the glove 1 in an unworn state, and FIG. 8B shows a side view of the glove 1 in a worn state.

[0204]As shown in FIG. 8A, the finger 6 of the glove 1 is bent to the side of the palm 5 when the glove 1 is not worn. Since the glove 1 is manufactured in such a manner that the finger 6 is bent to the side of the palm 5 when the glove 1 is not worn, the coating 3 is also bent toward the side of the palm 5. That is, the coating 3 is put in a shrunk state toward the side of the palm 5. When the coating 3 is shrunk toward the side of the palm 5, the breathing pores 4 formed in the coating 3 have small opening areas.

[0205]On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8B, when the glove 1 is worn, the finger 6 is stretched straigh...

Abstract

The present invention provides a glove that can reduce a humid feeling during usage while realizing a grip force, usability, workability, and breathability. The glove of the present invention includes a hand-shaped base layer (2a, 2b) made of fibers having a stretching property, a coating (3a, 3b) formed on the surface of the base layer (2a, 2b), at least on the surface of a palm of the base layer, and a plurality of breathing pores (4a, 4b) formed in the coating (3a, 3b), wherein the opening areas of the breathing pores (4b) when the glove is worn are larger than the opening areas of the breathing pores (4a) when the glove is not worn.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a glove, and in particular to a glove with a coating which makes it easy to grasp an object and is grippy and which is intended to prevent water penetration, while being capable of preventing a hand from feeling humid due to the coating.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Conventionally, a variety of gloves are used in different situations, such as manufacturing operation in a factory, agricultural work, gardening, light work, and construction operation. A glove achieves a high efficiency of work, as well as protecting a worker's hand. Here, gloves can be classified into a type of glove obtained by knitting fibers, such as a cotton work glove, and a type of glove made of rubber or resin mainly for the purpose of a waterproof property.[0005]A glove obtained by knitting fibers, such as a cotton work glove, is excellent in breathability and workability, but has the problems that th...
