The present invention relates to a glove, and more particularly to a glove which is simple in structure and can be formed easily, and a finger portion of the glove bends forward a palm portion of the glove when no forces are applied to the glove, such that the glove complies with the ergonomic principle.
An existing glove is generally divided into a cloth glove, a plastic glove and an asbestos glove. Regarding the ergonomic principle, when the hand of the human is in a working mode (for example, holding an object) or in a general mode which no forces are applied, fingers of the hand bend forward a palm of the hand, and the fingers and the palm have an non-planar angle (less than 180 degrees). As disclosed by JP Pub. 2003-171815, a finger portion of a general glove and a palm portion of the general glove render a plane when no forces are applied to the general glove, and the glove does not comply with the hand shape of the ergonomic principle. The general glove causes the user to feel uncomfortable when the user wears the general glove, since the general glove does not comply with the ergonomic principle.
The present invention provides a glove which is simple in structure and can be formed easily, and a finger portion of the glove bends forward a palm portion of the glove when no forces are applied to the glove, such that the glove complies with the ergonomic principle.

A structure of a glove provided by a first embodiment of the invention is shown in
The glove component 200 is an object which covers the glove core 100. For example, the glove component 200 can be made of fabric, no-woven fabric, plastic, rubber, polyvinylchloride (PVC), anti-leather, fiber artificial leather, pig head layer skin, pig split leather, pig suede, cow head layer skin, cow split leather, cow suede, sheep head layer skin, sheep suede, horse skin or buckskin. As shown in the drawings, the glove component 200 comprises a half-palm portion 201.
A bottom surface of the half-palm portion 201 of the glove component 200 is stitched to an outer surface of the glove core 100 via the stitching line, or alternatively, a bottom surface of the half-palm portion 201 of the glove component 200 is adhered to an outer surface of the glove core 100. The half-palm portion 201 of the glove component 200 covers at least one portion of the palm portion 110 of the glove core 100 and at least one portion of the dorsum portion 120 of the glove core 100. The adhesive manner can be to dispose at least one adhesive layer 30 merely on edges of the half-palm portion 201, the adhesive layer 30 can be made of polyurethane (PU), acrylate or other adhesive material, and can be an adhesive film or brush glue which is attached to the edges of the half-palm portion 201. The adhesive layer 30 is used to fix and adhere the half-palm portion 201 and the glove core 100. Of course, a high frequency or compression manner can be also used to achieve the fixing and adhering objective. The edges of the half-palm portion 201 are regions which have distances with 0 mm through 5 mm to terminal surfaces of the half-palm portion 201.
As shown by a second embodiment of
As shown in a fourth embodiment of
As shown in the fourth embodiment of
It is noted that, the first virtual line R1 can be a straight line, a non-straight line or a curve line. For example, as shown in the fourth embodiment of
As shown in the fifth embodiment of
As shown in the fifth embodiment of
As shown in the fifth embodiment of
As shown in the fifth embodiment of
It is noted that, of course, the combination region 40 can be located at the intersection (i.e. the finger root portion 140D) of the finger portion 140 and the half-palm portion 201.
It is noted that, stiffness of the glove component 200 must be larger than that of to glove core 100. In other words, stiffness of the half-palm portion 201 and stiffness of the finger piece portion 202 are larger than stiffness of the glove core 100. The stiffness is measured in accordance with ASTM D1388-96(Reapproved 2002), Option A—Cantilever Test. Since the stiffness of the finger piece portion 202 is larger than that of the glove core 100, and the finger piece portion length is less than or equal to the finger portion length, this makes the finger portion 140 bend forward the palm portion 110 easier, and the ergonomic principle can be easily met. Of course, the stiffness of the half-palm portion 201 and the stiffness of the finger piece portion 202 can be identical or different, and the stiffness of the half-palm portion 201 and the stiffness of the finger piece portion 202 are larger than that of the glove core 100. Preferably, the stiffness of the finger piece portion 202 is larger than that of the half-palm portion 201, and the stiffness of the half-palm portion 201 is larger than that of the glove core 100.
The first adhesive layer 301 and the second adhesive layer 302 are made of polyurethane (PU), acrylate or other adhesive material, and can be an adhesive films or brush glues which are attached to the edges of the half-palm portion 201 and the edges of the finger piece portion 202. The first adhesive layer 301 is used to adhere and fix the half-palm portion 201 and the palm portion 110, and the second adhesive layer 302 is used to adhere and fix the finger piece portion 202 and the finger surface portion 140A. Of course, the high frequency and compression manner be also used to achieve the bonding and fixing objective. As shown in the fifth embodiment of
As shown in the fifth embodiment of
Next, the sixth embodiment is induced from the above fifth embodiment, and the similar features are not repeatedly described. As shown in the sixth embodiment of
