Definitions

  • the present invention relates to work gloves which are designed to protect the fingertips of a worker from external shocks and mechanical stresses, whereby preventing accidental injuries from occurring when a worker is engaged in machining and other heavy-duty works that might cause damage to fingers.
  • work gloves are indispensable for heavy-duty works such as press operation, grinding, and carrying of heavy articles. According to usage, work gloves are provided with rubber coating for waterproofing, electrical insulation, and slip prevention. Not only do work gloves prevent the worker's hands from becoming dirty, but they also protect the worker's hands from a slight bruise and scratch during work.
  • each tip is provided with a fingertip protector. It is another object of the present invention to provide work gloves which are characterized in that the fingertip protector is constructed such that it can be easily removed from the tip of a worn glove and attached to the tip of a new one.
  • the work gloves of this invention will protect the worker's fingers from accidents that might occur during heavy-duty works.
  • Fig. 1 shows the work glove of the first example of the invention.
  • This work glove is made up of a five-finger glove 10 and fingertip protectors 12 externally attached to the respective tips of the glove 10.
  • the fingertip protector 12 has a caplike form as shown in Fig. 3, so that it entirely covers the fingertip 14 when the work glove is worn. (See Fig. 2.)
  • Fig. 4 shows the second example of the invention which is applied to a mitten.
  • the mitten 16 has recessed parts 18 at proper intervals on the tip thereof where the second to fifth fingers are accommodated and also has projecting parts 20 adjacent to the recessed parts 18.
  • the fingertip protectors 12 as shown in Fig. 3 are attached to the projecting parts 20 and the thumb 21. In this way, the fingertips are protected.
  • the caplike fingertip protector may be replaced by the fingertip protector as shown in Figs. 5(a) and 5(b). It has an opening 22 through which the finger pad 14 is exposed.
  • the fingertip protector 12 of this type is made up of a nail cover 24 and a retainer 26 which is integral with the nail cover 24.
  • the nail cover may be formed by punching and bending a 0.8 to 1.2 mm thick steel sheet. The retainer comes into contact with the finger pad, keeping the fingertip protector in place.
  • the nail cover 24 covers the nail but the opening 22 permits the finger pad 14 to be exposed, so that the worker can feel the object with the finger pad 14 through the glove.
  • Fig. 7 shows the third example of the invention. It is designed for a mitten.
  • the fingertip protector 12 as shown in Fig. 6 is externally attached to the mitten 16 so that the second to fifth fingers are covered. If necessary, the thumbtip protector 12 may be attached to the thumb of the mitten.
  • Fig. 8 shows the fourth example of the invention.
  • the fingertip protector 12 is attached to the forward end of the square glove 28 which is used for gripping hot objects in a steel mill and the like, so that the fingertips 14 are effectively protected.
  • the work glove proper is made of thick cloth like canvas so that it withstands heavy-duty works.
  • the fingertip protector 12 may take on any shape. It should preferably be made of hardened steel which is not easily crushed by great forces and shocks applied to it. It may also be made of , reinforced plastics and ceramics.
  • the fingertip protector attached to the external end of the work glove covers the fingertips almost completely. Thus the fingertips are protected from scratch, crush, fracture, and other injuries when they receive excessive mechanical stresses during heavy-duty works.
  • the fingertip protector also prevents the fingertips from being caught by rolls as shown in Fig. 9. Even though the fingertip protector 12 comes into contact with the rolls 30, it is not caught by the rolls but it simply slips on the rolls.
  • Fig. 10 shows the fifth example of the invention.
  • the mitten 16 is constructed such that small compartments 32 (4 pieces in this case) for the second to fifth fingers are formed inside the forward end.
  • the caplike fingertip protectors 12 as shown in Fig. 3 are detachably inserted into the respective small compartments.
  • the fingertips 14 are inserted into the respective fingertip protectors 12. Because the fingertip protectors 12 are independent from one another, there is some room for the fingers to move in the glove.
  • the work glove is provided with four fingertip protectors 12; but, if necessary, the glove may be provided with five fingertip protectors for all the fingers.
  • Fig. 11 shows the sixth example of the invention.
  • the square glove 28 is designed for gripping hot objects as described in relation to Fig. 8.
  • small compartments 32 are formed inside the forward end, and the fingertip protectors 12 are detachably inserted into the compartments 32.
  • the fingertip protectors 12 may be of the caplike shape or of the open type as shown in Fig. 5.
  • the fingertip protectors 12 are detachably attached to the inside of the glove; but they may be fixedly attached to the inside of the glove.
  • Figs. 12 and 13 show the seventh example of the invention.
  • the mitten 16 has a bag 34 that extends from the forward end to the back of the major part for four fingers. This bag 34 accommodates the fingertip protector 12.
  • the mouth of the bag 34 is closed by means of the hook & loop fastener 36 and 38 as represented by Vercro's fastener.
  • the fingertip protector 12 enclosed in the bag 34 has a U-shape so that it surrounds the tips and nails of the second and fifth fingers as shown in Fig. 14.
  • the work gloves and bags may be made of cloth, leather, or rubber according to their usage as in the conventional work gloves.
  • the fingertip protector 12 may be made of metal, plastics, or ceramics which are hard and strong enough to protect fingers.
  • the shape of the fingertip protector should preferably be properly changed according to the usage.
  • the fingertip protector 12 should have a form as shown in Fig. 14 or Fig. 15 so that the fingertip protector covers the fingers almost entirely.
  • the fingertip protector 12 may have a shape as shown in Fig. 16 so that it protects only the backside of the fingers.
  • the fingertip protector 12 may have a shape as shown in Figs. 17 to 19.
  • the fingertip protector 12 is retained in the bag 34 by means of the hook & loop fasteners 36 and 38.
  • the mouth of the bag 34 may be partly sewn on to the glove proper.
  • the fingertip protector 12 may be retained in the bag 34 by attaching projections to both sides of the opening and engaging the projections with slits formed on the mouth of the bag.
  • the fingertip protector 12 is designed to protect the second to fifth fingers all together; but it may be modified such that it protects the fingers individually or in proper group.
  • Figs. 22 and 23 show the ninth example of the invention.
  • the fingertip protector is detachably attached to the glove by means of the retainers fixed to the glove.
  • the fingertip protector is formed in U-shape as illustrated so that it protects the tips of the second to fifth fingers in a mitten 16.
  • the retainer 40 is a short strap sewn on to the glove. Hook & loop fasteners 36 and 38 are attached to the retainer and the glove, respectively.
  • the two retainers 40 are passed through the holes 12a formed at both ends of the fingertip protector and turned back so that the fasteners (36 and 38) engage with each other
  • the shape of the fingertip protector 12 should be properly changed according to the usage as in the seventh example mentioned above. If it is necessary to protect the fingers entirely,.-. the fingertip protector 12 as shown in Fig. 24 should be used. If it is necessary to protect only the fingertips, the fingertip protector 12 may have the shape as shown in Figs. 25 and 26. To protect the tips and back of the fingers, the one shoyn in Fig. 27 should be used. To protect only the back of the fingers, the one shown in Fig. 28 should be used.
  • Figs. 29 and 30 show the tenth example of the invention.
  • the glove 16 has two short straps 42 on the back side thereof.
  • a snap 44a (socket) is sewn on to one end of the strap 42, and a snap 44b (stud) is sewn on to the glove 16.
  • a hole 12b for the strap 42 to pass through is made on the upper side of the fingertip protector 12.
  • the fingertip protector 12 may be provided with a vertical partition wall 46 to be inserted into a slit 16a formed between the third finger and the fourth finger as shown in Fig. 30.
  • Figs. 31 and 32 show the eleventh example of the invention.
  • the work glove in this example is provided with the bag 48 which entirely covers the fingertip protector 12 mounted on the outside of the glove.
  • the bag 48 is secured to the glove 16 by means of hook & loop fasteners 50 and 52.
  • the bag 48 entirely covers the fingertip protector 12 to provide protection for it.
  • Ftgs. 33 and 34 show the twelfth example of the invention.
  • the fingertip protector 12 designed to protect the fingertips alone is secured to the glove 16 by means of the hook & loop fasteners 50 and 52 attached to the inside of the fingertip protector and the forward end of the glove.
  • This example produces the same effect as the eleventh example mentioned above, and in addition, it has an advantage that the fingertip protector 12 can be attached very easily.
  • the present invention provides a work glove provided with a fingertip protector which securely protects the fingertips from excessive mechanical forces during heavy-duty works.
  • the work glove prevents scratch, crush, fracture, and other injuries to the fingers.
  • the fingertip protector is easily removed from the worn glove and secured to a new one for reuse.
