Abstract

PURPOSE: To provide a working glove having satisfiable waterproofness as well as air-permeability by using a thin air-permeable cloth as the base cloth, coating a surface of the cloth with a coating agent consisting of a water- repelling synthetic resin and a water-soluble agent and washing the coated surface to form fine through-holes on the cloth. CONSTITUTION: The objective working glove easily producible at a low cost, safe to the chemical liquids such as agrochemicals and enabling comfortable work without causing stuffing even by the work over a long period in summer season is produced by using an air-permeable cloth as the base cloth 1, coating a surface of the cloth with a coating agent 2 produced by compounding a water- repelling resin with water-soluble fine particles and preferably further a deodorant and washing the product with water to dissolve the water-soluble agent and form a number of aeration holes 3 having a pore diameter of <=0.5μm, preferably about 0.2μm on the coating agent layer.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to work gloves intended to protect the hands and fingers of workers from chemical damage during, for example, spraying pesticides, and in particular to prevent the adhesion of chemical solutions. It is characterized by having sufficient liquid impermeability and breathability to effectively release sweat from fingers and fingers during work to the outside.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

Generally, when using toxic chemicals such as pesticides, it is customary to wear protective clothing to prevent the chemicals from adhering to the worker's skin, but especially when replenishing or replacing chemicals, etc. For hands and fingers that often come into direct contact with drugs,
Wearing gloves is considered essential.

However, so-called work gloves made of a blend of cotton or synthetic fibers, which have traditionally been considered to have good workability, have excellent sweat absorption and breathability, but are easily penetrated by chemical solutions and cannot be expected to protect the skin. However, gloves made of non-breathable materials such as rubber or synthetic resin film, which are effective in preventing the penetration of water and other liquids, can cause your hands and fingers to become extremely stuffy due to sweating, especially when working for long periods of time in the summer. There were many problems that needed to be resolved urgently, such as the feeling of suffering.

[Means for solving problems]

In view of these circumstances, the present invention was developed as a fabric for gloves of this type, using a relatively thin breathable fabric as a base fabric, and coating one side of the base fabric with a thin coating material containing a water-repellent synthetic resin and a water-soluble agent. After coating, the water-soluble agent is eluted and removed by washing the base fabric with water, and pores with a diameter of about 0.5 micron or less are formed in that area.
By forming countless extremely fine holes, preferably around 0.2 microns, and making gloves from this fabric, the conventional problems described above can be solved at once.

[For production]

In the present invention, the fine holes in the 0.5 to 0.1 micron range formed in the fabric are 95,000 to 100,000 microns in diameter than a normal water droplet.
Since it is 1/30,000 times the size of vapor molecules such as sweat, gloves made of this material do not allow chemicals, etc. to seep through from the outside, but internal vapors due to perspiration do not pass through. It has a special effect in that it can be dispersed to the outside.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of manufacturing the glove fabric according to the present invention will be further described.

[Part 1] In Fig. 1, 1 is a breathable base fabric made of nonwoven fabric such as synthetic resin fiber, and 2 is a water-repellent urethane resin (Illuminant).
A coating material obtained by adding and mixing an appropriate amount of a particulate water-soluble agent (2), such as dimethylformamide, in advance, and after applying the coating material 2 very thinly to one surface of the base fabric 1, This was washed with water to elute the water-soluble agent (l) to obtain a glove fabric having countless fine holes 3 with a pore diameter of about 0.2 microns in the coating layer.

[Part 2] A woven fabric with relatively good air permeability is used as the base fabric 1, and a particulate water-soluble agent (
After adding and thoroughly mixing an organic acid deodorant such as a vinyl triacetate deodorant (trade name "Daimshu W-100J manufactured by Dainichiseika Chemical Co., Ltd.)" and applying a thin layer, By washing this with water, the above-mentioned water-soluble agent is eluted and falls off, thereby obtaining a glove fabric having numerous through holes 3, each having a diameter of 063 microns, in the coating layer.

The above-mentioned painted surfaces of the two pieces of fabric obtained in this way are superimposed on each other, and the periphery is adhered by high frequency or welder 4 along the hand shape of an appropriate size, and the hand shape is punched out for work use. It was worn as a glove. In this case, as seen in the second example above, the one in which an organic acidic deodorant was added in advance to the paint was suitable because no odor was generated due to sweating, but the above deodorizer It goes without saying that the same deodorizing effect can be obtained even if it is applied to the inner surface of product gloves, etc., instead of being mixed in the coating agent in advance.

Further, numeral 5 in the figure indicates a constriction portion of a rubber string or the like provided in the pusher hole as required.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the work gloves of the present invention, waterproof (
Because these gloves simultaneously satisfy the contradictory properties of non-perspiration and breathability, they are safe as gloves when handling toxic chemicals such as pesticides, and they also allow vapors caused by sweating of hands to be freely released to the outside. Since it can be transmitted and emitted,
In addition to being expected to have exceptional effects, such as being able to work extremely comfortably during long hours of work without getting stuffy, especially in the summer, the fabric itself with the above structure can be produced relatively easily and inexpensively, so it can be used when spraying pesticides. These gloves have wide applicability as disposable work gloves in a wide variety of fields.
