20080098501
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.
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.
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 synthetic fiber is proposed, and concretely as an example, a glove obtained by knitting a core-sheath composite yarn produced by wrapping a nylon fiber in upper and lower double layers around a core comprising a 3,4′-diaminodiphenyl ether copolymer-polyparaphenylene terephthalamide fiber and a stainless wire is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-239104.
Also, a composite spun yarn having a core-sheath structure produced by covering a core part of a single wire of a metal yarn, a filament yarn, or a spun yarn with a staple of an aromatic polyamide fiber is proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-303138.
Also, a cut-resistant glove formed of a composite yarn comprising a fiber having a high strength and a high modulus of elasticity, and a metal thin wire in the surface and a bulky yarn or a natural fiber in the back face is proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-178812.
Further, a cut-resistant composite yarn comprising a glass fiber as a core part and a polyethylene fiber or aramid fiber as a sheath part, and further a covering fiber of a non-metallic and non-high performance fiber such as a polyester, nylon, or the like wrapped in mutually opposite directions is proposed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,467,251.
Further, a cut-resistant fiber produced by wrapping a polyester fibers in opposite directions around a core part composed of a stainless steel wire and an anti-microbial treated acetate type fiber and an apparel such as a glove produced from the fiber are proposed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,266,951.
Furthermore, a cut-resistant composite yarn comprising a core part composed of a strand of wire and an extended chain polyethylene fiber being positioned parallel to each other, wrapped around the core with double layer-covering strands in mutually opposite directions, in which an aramid fiber is not used, is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,644,907.
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.
In light of the foregoing situation, the present invention provides a cut-resistant glove which is excellent not only in elastic property and moisture absorption property, but also in putting-on-feeling or use feeling and workability at the time the glove is put on, which is made from a composite yarn having an excellent knitting processability as well as a good moisture adsorption property.
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.
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.

In the drawing, the numerals stand for the followings:
The composite yarn used in a cut-resistant glove of the present invention comprises, as shown by
The above-mentioned core 1 comprises a metal thin wire 1a and an attending yarn 1b, which is a filament yarn.
The metal thin wire 1a used in the present invention is preferably a stainless, titanium, aluminum, silver, nickel, copper, bronze or the like with a high strength and a high modulus of elasticity, and particularly, a stainless is preferable since it is economical and has a high strength as well as it is excellent in chemical stability and corrosion resistance. Meanwhile, “stainless” is correctly “stainless steel”, however, domestically it is generally abbreviated as “stainless” or “stain” and therefore, in this specification, the term “stainless” is used for its abbreviation.
As the metal thin wire 1a, a non-processed wire is used in the present invention since a twisted wire is hard and deteriorates feeling of a product formed of a composite yarn, for example, a glove (hereinafter, a glove is taken as a representative product formed of a composite yarn.).
For example, as a thin wire of a stainless, those with 40 to 50 μm thickness are commonly used for such purposes. The metal thin wire 1a in the present invention has a thickness of preferably 10 to 70 μm, more preferably 15 to 35 μm in terms of the knitting processability of the composite yarn and workability in the state of putting on a glove. As a practical material for the stainless, SUS 304 is preferable in terms of softness and bending strength. As the metal thin wire 1a, 1 to 4 pieces are preferred to use. In the case of more than 4 pieces, a glove becomes hard to deteriorate workability in the state of putting on the glove, and therefore that is not preferable.
The metal thin wire 1a of the core is ruptured when it is wrapped with the covering fiber 2 as it is in a covering step and therefore, the attending yarn 1b is needed for the metal thin wire 1a. As the attending yarn 1b, a non-processed filament yarn is used since a processed yarn such as a twist yarn has rather considerable elastic property. If a yarn having the elastic property is used as the attending yarn 1b, the yarn to be used for covering in the successive covering step is also provided with the elastic property. Meanwhile, the metal thin wire 1a itself scarcely has the elastic property and if the composite yarn is expanded after the covering with the covering fiber 2 is formed, the metal thin wire 1a cannot stand in the elongation and thus ruptured. The ruptured metal thin wire 1a springs out of the covering layer 3 of the composite yarn 2 and, for example, when the composite yarn is knitted into a glove product, the metal thin wire 1a prickly stings the skin of a hand of the user of the glove and thus worsens the putting-on-feeling and use feeling. On the other hand, ever if the attending yarn 1b contrarily has the contractive property, the same phenomenon occurs. That is, in the case where the attending yarn 1b contracts, the metal thin wire 1a cannot contract and therefore is sagged and since the sagging cannot be released, the metal thin wire 1a springs out of the covering layer 3 of the composite yarn 2 and irritates the skin of a hand of the user of the glove and gives unpleasant feeling.
Accordingly, the attending yarn 1b used in the present invention is preferably a filament fiber scarcely having not only the dynamic elasticity, but also the elasticity affected by heat and chemicals. Practically, examples of such filament fiber are polyethylene, ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, which are reinforced polyethylene (e.g. trade name: Dyneema, manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd.), polyester, polyparaphenylene terephthalamide (e.g. trade name: Kevlar, manufactured by Du Pont de Nemours & Co.), liquid crystal polymer, high strength polyarylate (e.g. trade name: Vectran, manufactured by Kuraray Co., Ltd.), and the like. Among these, ultra high molecular polyethylene, polyparaphenylene terephthalamide and polyester are preferable since those are very stable physically and chemically. These may be used singly or, if necessary, in combination of two or more.
The fineness of these attending yarns 1b is, in general, preferably 50 to 600 denier, more preferably 100 to 450 denier. If it is thinner than 50 denier, the rupture prevention effect of the metal thin wire 1a tends to be weakened. In the case where an attending yarn with a thickness exceeding 600 denier is used, the composite yarn obtained becomes thick and tends to give stiff feeling, which deteriorates the putting-on-feeling and use feeling. The number of the filaments forming the attending yarn 1b is preferable to be higher since the attending yarn 1b winds the metal thin wire to prevent exposure of the surface of the metal thin wire 1a and it is, in general, preferably not less than 100 filaments, more preferably 100 to 1000 filaments, and still more preferably 200 to 1000 filaments. If it is less than 100 filaments, the effect of winding the metal thin wire 1a becomes insufficient, the knitting processability is decreased and the putting-on-feeling and use feeling tend to be worsened. On the other hand, if it is more than 1000 filaments, the cost of the attending yarn tends to increase, which makes it difficult to use.
The attending yarn 1b is wound around the metal thin wire 1a at 2 to 60 turns, preferably 2 to 60 turns, more preferably 15 to 50 turns, still more preferably 25 to 45 turns per meter of the metal thin wire. This winding prevents the metal thin wire not only from cutting when tension was imposed, but also from exposing its surface when flexure or distortion took place. In the case of less than 2 turns, the above-mentioned effects are not provided satisfactorily, when knitted into a glove, the metal thin wire 1a ruptures, springs out and irritates the skin of a hand to thus deteriorate touch feeling, putting-on-feeling and use feeling. On the other hand, in the case of more than 60 turns, when tension is imposed, the wound attending yarn is easy to elongate as compared with the metal thin wire being positioned straight and thus tension cannot be dispersed to the attending yarn so that the metal thin wire tends to be ruptured.
As the attending yarn 1b, 1 to 3 pieces are preferred. In the case of more than 3 pieces, the attending yarn tends to become thick, which not only deteriorates knitting processability, but also tends to worsen putting-on-feeling to stiff feeling.
As described above, the covering layer 3 is formed by wrapping the covering fiber 2 around the core 1 composed of the metal thin wire 1a and the attending yarn 1b.
The covering fiber 2 is not particularly limited and determined in consideration of the knitting processability, resin coating processability, the putting-on-feeling, use feeling such as touch feeling and fitting of products, the moisture absorption property, and the like. From a viewpoint of these properties, as the covering fiber 2, polyethylene, polyaramide, polyester, polyamide (nylon), polyacryl, cotton, wool and the like are preferable. The covering fiber 2 may be multifilaments, twist yarn or spun yarn. Among these, polyester, polyamide (nylon), cotton and wool are more preferable. As the spun yarn, cotton or polyester is preferable in terms of softness. As the filament of the covering fiber 2, it is preferable to be crimped, particularly, crimped polyester or polyamide is preferable in terms of good touch feeling.
The fineness of the covering fiber 2 is, in general, preferably 50 to 500 denier (100 to 10 yarn counts) and more preferably 50 to 300 denier (100 to 15 yarn counts) in terms of the prevention of the surface exposure of the metal thin wire 1a and the putting-on-feeling and use feeling of knitted products. In the case of the covering fiber comprising filaments, the number of the filaments is preferably 20 to 500 filaments. In the case of less than 20 filaments, the thickness of the filament becomes large to thus result in stiff feeling, on the other hand, in the case of more than 500 filaments, the cost becomes high and thus that is not preferable.
The covering fiber 2 is wrapped around the core 1. With respect to the number of the layers of wrapping the coating fiber 2, if the number of the layers is small, the effect of covering the core 1 becomes so insufficient as to expose the core to the outside of the covering layer 3 in some cases, and on the other hand, if the number is large, the knitting processability of the composite yarn tends to be deteriorated and it results in stiff feeling and deteriorates the putting-on-feeling and use feeling. Accordingly, it is preferably to be two or three layers, more preferably, two layers, in particular. In the case where the covering fiber 2 is wrapped in two layers, as shown in
The number of the wrapping turns of the covering fiber 2 is preferably 300 to 1200 turns, more preferably 450 to 1000 turns, per one meter of the length of the core 1. In the case of less than 300 turns, the purpose of preventing the surface exposure of the metal thin wire 1a is not attained adequately, on the other hand, in the case of more than 1200 turns, the obtained composite yarn becomes hard, which is not preferable.
As the covering fiber 2, 1 to 6 pieces per one layer are suitable. In the case of more than 6 pieces, a step for producing a composite yarn tends to become complicated and the obtained composite yarn tends to give stiff feeling.
The composite yarn obtained in the above manner is knitted into a cut-resistant glove. At the time of producing the cut-resistant glove by knitting the composite yarn of the present invention, plating is carried out using a fiber having good touch feeling and excellent moisture absorption property and knitting is carried out to set the plated fiber in the inner side of the glove, so that the cut-resistant glove excellent in the putting-on-feeling or use feeling such as touch feeling and in the moisture absorption property can be produced.
As such a plating fiber, synthetic fibers such as composite fibers of a polyurethane fiber and at least one synthetic fiber selected from polyamide, polyethylene, polyester, polyphenylene terephthalamide and rayon, synthetic fibers such as polyamide, polyethylene, polyester, polyphenylene terephthalamide, rayon and the like, and natural fibers such as cotton are preferable.
The fiber for the plating may properly be determined depending on the use and a plurality of kinds of fibers may be used. The thickness of the plating fiber is preferably 50 to 700 denier, more preferably 50 to 550 denier, for one fiber in terms of the putting-on-feeling and the workability. If it is thinner than 50 denier, the effect of plating tends to be insufficient. If it exceeds 700 denier, the knitted density of the plating fiber becomes high and the knitting workability tends to be deteriorated. The number of the fibers to be used for plating may properly be determined and it is preferably 1 to 7 fibers, more preferably 1 to 5 fibers in terms of the easy plating processability.
The cut-resistant glove obtained in the above manner is coated with a rubber or a resin for imparting non-slip property, waterproofness and strength. As the rubber and the resin used for coating, those having been used heretofore may be suitably used, for example, as the rubber, any of natural rubber, synthetic rubber and modified bodies thereof may be used, and as the synthetic rubber, nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), chloroprene rubber (CR), silicone rubber, fluorinated rubber, chlorosulfonated polyethylene rubber, isoprene rubber and modified bodies thereof, and the like are exemplified. As the resin, polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, polyvinyl acetate and modified bodies thereof, and the like are exemplified. These may be used singly or, if necessary, in combination of two or more.
The coating area of the glove with these rubbers or the resins is not specifically limited and may be properly determined depending on uses of the glove. For example, in the case of a glove for water-related work, the whole of the glove may be coated, and for the prevention of sweating, a part excepting the back of the glove may be coated. Moreover, in the case of a glove for fine work, only a part of finger tops may be coated. The coating layer may be a singly layer or a plural layer and if the coating layer comprises, for example, two layers, the first layer and the second layer may be different materials.

Bhd.) and two ultra high molecular weight polyesthylene fibers with 400D/390F (trade name: Dyneema SK60, manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd.) in the knitting process, a glove was knitted by a 13G knitting machine in such a manner that the composite yarn was set in the outside of the glove and the FTY in the inside of the glove.
The knitted glove was subjected to oil repellent treatment and fitted on a glove mold, then coated by showering with the polyvinyl chloride compound solution, thereafter, the coated glove was taken up from the compound solution and subjected to drying at 230° C. for 2 minutes and at 180° C. for 15 minutes.
The obtained sample glove had the cut resistance in the 5 CE level and was found having a smooth surface and having a contact of the FTY in the inside with the skin of a hand having a thin thickness and giving very good touch feeling when it was put on a hand, an excellent elastic property, a thin thickness, and further a very good workability. Also, the part coated with the polyvinyl chloride resin was very high in non-slip property.
In accordance with Example 1 described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-239104, three spun yarns (yarn count No. 10.63) (equivalent to 1500 denier) obtained by stretch-breaking a non-crimped tow of 2000 filaments with 3000 denier of polyparaphenylene terephthalamide fiber (trade name: Technorat, manufactured by Teijin Kasei Ltd.) at 750 mm intervals and 20 times stretch-breaking ratio between a pair of rollers and two flexible stainless wires (25 μm) were united together and used as a core and a nylon fiber of 420 denier was wrapped at 634 turns/m around the core in the upper and lower double layers, respectively in the opposite direction to obtain a composite yarn. Two composite yarns obtained were united together and knitted by a 5G knitting machine to obtain a glove.
The knitted glove was fitted on a glove mold and immersed in the polyurethane compound solution. The immersed glove was taken up from the compound solution, DMF was removed by substitution with 60° C. hot water and it was subjected to drying at 110° C. for 20 minutes.
The obtained sample glove had the cut resistance in the 5 CE level, but, since the plating yarn was the spun yarn, the plating yarn was expanded at the time of processing and the metal thin wire was ruptured and the tip end of the metal thin wire came out of the composite yarn, and thus the glove gave prickly irritating touch and had an inferior workability at the time of being put on.
A general non-metallic cut-resistant glove was produced. That is, five spun yarns of yarn count No. 20 of polyparaphenylene terephthalamide filament yarn (trade name: Kevlar, manufacture by Du Pont de Nemours & Co.) were united together and a glove was knitted by a 10 G knitting machine.
The knitted glove was fitted on a glove mold and heated at 80° C., then immersed in the natural rubber latex compound solution, thereafter the immersed glove was taken up from the compound solution and subjected to drying and vulcanization at 60° C. for 10 minutes and at 130° C. for 30 minutes.
The obtained sample glove had a good touch and strong feeling when it was put on a hand, but the cut resistance remained in the 4 CE level which did not satisfy the intended 5 CE level.
A general non-metallic cut-resistant glove was produced. That is, one FTY (false twist yarn) composed of one polyurethane fiber with 140D (trade name: Spandex, manufactured by FURNIWEB Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd.) and two ultra high molecular weight polyethylene filaments (trade name: Dyneema SK 60, manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd.) was united together and a glove was knitted by a 13 G knitting machine.
The knitted glove was fitted on a glove mold and immersed in the polyurethane compound solution. The immersed glove was taken up from the compound solution, DMF was removed by substitution with 60° C. hot water and it was subjected to drying at 110° C. for 20 minutes.
The obtained sample glove had a good touch feeling in its inside, an excellent elastic property and a good workability, but the cut resistance remained in the 2 CE level which did not satisfy the intended 5 CE level.
As described above, since the cut-resistant glove of the present invention is comprised of a composite yarn comprising a core composed of a metal thin wire and an attending yarn, and a covering fiber wrapped around the core to form a covering layer, it is excellent not only in moisture absorption property and knitting processability, but also in putting-on-feeling, elastic property, use feeling and workability at the time the glove is put on. Moreover, since the cut-resistant glove is coated on its surface with a rubber or resin, it is excellent not only in non-slip property, water proofness and strength, but also in cut-resistant property.
Further, sharp blades and the like are handled with the cut-resistant glove of the present invention being put on, since it is coated with a rubber or resin, troubles such as cutting of a covering fiber are difficult to occur, and even when the covering fiber is cut off, cut dust is captured by the rubber or resin to thus prevent the generation of such dust.
Moreover, in the case of knitting a glove with the above-mentioned composite yarn, if a fiber is plated and the plated fiber is knitted to set it in the inside of the glove, the cut-resistant glove can be provided which is further improved not only in the elastic property and the moisture absorption property, but also in the putting-on-feeling or use feeling and workability at the time the glove is put on.
As stated above, the cut-resistant glove of the present invention is excellent not only in putting-on-feeling, use feeling and workability at the time the glove is put on, but also in non-slip property, water proofness, strength and cut-resistant property.
