Abstract

The present invention relates to grip supplementary gloves using a detachable magnet for gripping pens or spoon and chopsticks with hands when a user cannot easily handle his/her hands or have no power in fingers due to old age or disability. The grip supplementary gloves of the present invention comprise 8 magnets: magnets (10, 11) that connect the thumb and middle fingers; magnets (20, 21) that connect the thumb and index fingers; magnets (30, 31) that index and middle fingers; and magnets (40, 41) that connect the gloves and tools. One (41) of the magnets is attached to a pen (60) or spoon and chopsticks, and other 7 magnets are attached to the gloves (50). Thus, even if a pen or spoon and chopsticks are changed, the grip supplementary gloves accordingly determines the contact points and makes supplementary grip possible by using magnets at each contact points.

Description

Magnetic Grip Assist Glove {Glove for grasping objects using magnet}

The present invention relates to a glove for a person who has a handicap or age and whose movement of the hand is unnatural or free, or who has to use a tool such as a writing instrument for a long time.

The glove may be applied not only as a technology for assistive devices for persons with disabilities, but also as a technology for general living aids such as writing posture correction or long time writing aids.

In the case of the elderly or disabled users, fingers are weak or weak, or movement is often unnatural. In such a user, a tool such as a spoon or a pen cannot be held strongly, and it is difficult to eat or write. There is a need for equipment that assists in holding the tool.

Due to the nature of the hand structure, the knuckles of the fingers have stiffness that varies greatly depending on the direction of rotation. When these fingers are coupled to each other, it can be a structure having a low rigidity only in a certain direction. The continuation of the combination between these fingers allows the entire hand to be fixed to a specific shape.

Conventionally, a number of mechanisms have been introduced to assist in fixing a tool by mounting an assisting device to a hand. However, such a device for assisting the use of tools such as writing utensils and tableware is generally made of a rigid body, which is limited to the user's condition such as the size of the hand or the shape of the tool. In addition, these conventional instruments can cause awkwardness and inconvenience for the user because the posture of the hand and the method of use are different from the existing methods in using the tool. There are also tools for only one of the writing utensils and tableware.

The present invention has been devised to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a functional glove that can be used stably while maintaining the existing posture to the maximum.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a general-purpose functional glove that can be applied to tools such as spoons and forks in addition to writing instruments.

Still another object of the present invention is to increase the usability by allowing the user to easily attach and detach while performing the above functions.

The present invention relates to a glove that assists in holding a tool such as a writing instrument, a fork, a spoon, and more particularly, when a user uses a tool such as a writing instrument, a fork, a spoon, etc. It is a functional glove that can be easily detached by attaching, but does not change the shape of the hand or the position of the tool by the force and moment applied to the tool so that the tool can be held more stably.

The present invention for achieving the above object is characterized in that the magnet is attached to a suitable position to make the shape of the hand for the function.

In addition, the tool to be used is characterized in that the magnet is attached to the position in contact with the hand.

A contact between a tool and a hand or a contact between a finger is always attached with a magnet having magnetic poles of different poles, and two magnets are required for each contact.

As described above, the functional glove according to the present invention collects the end portions of the thumb, index finger and middle finger with sufficient force to stably hold a tool such as a writing instrument, a spoon, a fork, etc. in the hand to use the tools for a long time. In addition to reducing the burden on the hand, people who can not use the hand has the effect of making it easy to use writing or eating by using the tools.

Unlike the existing similar inventions and commercially available products, the glove can be applied to a variety of tools, not just specific tools, while maintaining the hand posture similar to that of ordinary people. .

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 2 shows a glove with a magnet attached thereto. Each of the magnets is equipped with two thumb parts, two detection parts, and one stop part. The purpose of the magnet is to correct and fix the position between each finger when holding a writing instrument as shown in FIG.

In addition to the tools and fingers to be used, magnets are attached to the parts where the tools come into contact with the hands to create other fixing points in addition to the fixing by the fingers to solve the moment applied to the tools.
