Description

Dexterity Fishscale Textured Gloves

The invention relates to a smart work glove with a fish scale texture inner surface and an outer surface and a manufacturing method thereof.

Typical uses for work gloves include food processing, chemical disposal, pesticide spraying, etc. The thickness of the work gloves should not hinder the sense of touch. However, work gloves should be strong enough to resist rupture. It is desirable to provide rough or textured inner and outer surfaces in work gloves because work gloves with smooth surfaces make it difficult for a wearer to grip an item. A textured outer surface enables a wearer to adequately grip items that may be slippery. In addition, the inner surface of the glove is in close contact with the skin of the wearer and does not absorb the wearer's sweat. A textured inner surface reduces the possibility of the wearer's hand slipping (which may be caused by sweat) within the work glove during use, where the textured inner surface allows sweat to flow away from any pressured surface and the The gloves do not glide on the surface of the wearer's hand.

At present, attempts have been made to form a glove with a textured inner surface and an outer surface by using a texture form to impart a texture to the inner surface, and treating the film in a manner that corrodes to form a film of the glove to thereby Texture is created on the outer surface or by spraying particles onto the outer surface of the glove. These methods are unsatisfactory due to various factors such as, for example, lack of dexterity, difficulty in wearing, and uneven glove thickness that cause the glove to break during use.

Current work gloves often use dressing powders (for example, such as corn starch or talc) Powder) to make it easier for a wearer to wear gloves. However, wearing powder can contaminate wounds, irritate the skin, remain on equipment and clothing, and mechanically interfere with some procedures that a user can perform while wearing work gloves.

Previous attempts to mitigate glove slip caused by the wearer's sweat have proven unsuccessful. For example, cotton linting is usually only able to absorb a small amount of sweat before it fails.

In addition, current methods for imparting a reduced contact texture to the inner surface of a glove to reduce the effects of sweat from the wearer and / or assist in wearing generally reduce the mechanical effectiveness of the glove, resulting in the glove breaking.

Accordingly, there is a need for a work glove having a textured inner surface and an outer surface, which has improved dexterity, is easy to wear, and reduces the frequency of failures during use.

The invention provides a smart work glove with a fish scale textured inner surface and an outer surface and a manufacturing method thereof.
