Definitions
- the invention relates to a glove, in particular a sports glove for motorcycle, skiing or surfing sports or the like, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Gloves are used in many sports to protect the hands and / or fingers from injuries, cold, wind, rain or the like. In order to be able to perform these protective functions sufficiently well, or even only some of them, a certain minimum thickness of the glove material must be provided when processing the gloves. Gloves for motorcyclists, for example, should not only protect the hands and / or fingers from the effects of the wind, paired with rain or cold, but also, if possible, avoid hand or finger injuries in the event of a fall. For this reason, motorcycle gloves in particular are made of comparatively thick material in order to be able to meet the requirements placed on them as well as possible.
- anatomically pre-curved gloves for example according to the above-mentioned documents, can hardly change this disadvantage, since the pre-curving of these known gloves essentially corresponds to that of the human hand in the relaxed rest position; however, a greater pre-curvature of the individual fingers is usually forbidden, since then the glove would initially have a claw-like appearance which is visually unattractive and, moreover, such a strongly curved glove would be difficult to put on and take off. Furthermore, when the fingers are moved from the curved position corresponding to a closed position into an approximately straight position corresponding to the stretched position, the stiffness of the glove material would also have to be overcome, which would make it more difficult that the devices (cutting or the like) must be overcome, which produce the strong curvature of the glove fingers.
- a generic glove has become known from DE-GM 79 12 393.
- This glove is distinguished by the fact that it is equipped with one or more spring elements which pretension the glove fingers into a closed gripping position.
- these spring elements are preferably inflatable air cushions, which are arranged on the outside of the glove fingers and, if appropriate, also on the outside of the glove thumb.
- a glove according to the invention in particular a sports glove for motorcycle, skiing or surfing sports or the like, accordingly comprises at least one part of the back of the hand, at least one part of the finger, at least one part of the palm and one part of the thumb, the at least one part of the finger by at least one Spring element can be biased in the direction of the closed position of the finger part.
- the glove according to the invention is characterized in that the spring element is a bi-stable spring part with two stable end positions, the finger part being kept deflected in the direction of its closed position in one end position and the finger part in a more open position in the other end position, how the stretched position is held.
- both the closed position and the extended position are spring-supported in the glove according to the invention, the respective movements from the extended position to the closed position and back again being unaffected. It is therefore possible with the glove according to the invention to hold the glove fingers in the closed position with less effort, even over a longer period of time, as is extremely worthwhile, for example, in the case of a motorcycle glove.
- the stable end position of the spring part Because of the stable end position of the spring part, the restoring forces inherent in the glove material are eliminated or at least considerably weakened due to the rigidity of the glove material used, so that the gloved hand has to exert less force in order to keep the glove fingers in the closed position , in which, for example, the handlebar or the throttle grip of a motorcycle, the grip part of a ski stock or the boom of a surfboard is held.
- the stable end position of the bi-stable spring part that is, the stable end position corresponding to the closed position, and the bistable spring part are overcome can, if necessary with the help of the other hand, be transferred to its other stable end position, which corresponds to the extended position of the glove fingers.
- “stretched position” is understood to mean that the glove fingers or the fingers of a hand protected with the glove according to the invention are not completely stretched out in an unnatural manner in said stretched position, that is to say the back of the hand and the plane of the stretched out fingers essentially lie in one plane, but that the glove fingers still have a slightly curved position due to the inherent elasticity of the glove material, so that the "stretched position” corresponds at least approximately to the relaxed rest position of one hand.
- a hand protected with the glove according to the invention can thus be moved from its closed position into the extended position and back again into the closed position or can remain in the closed or extended position, the holding of the closed or extended position being due to the spring support is possible with little or no effort.
- a person wearing the glove according to the invention or the gloves according to the invention can therefore wear this glove or gloves over a longer period of time without causing significant fatigue in the hand and / or finger muscles in the forearm comes because both the closed and extended positions are stabilized due to the two stable end positions of the bi-stable spring part.
- the finger part preferably has individual glove fingers, the glove according to the invention is thus designed in the manner of a so-called glove.
- a bistable spring part in at least one glove finger, that is to say in the glove finger for the index finger and / or that for the middle finger and / or that for the ring finger and / or that for the little finger.
- each glove finger of the finger part is provided with a bistable spring part, the entire hand protected with the glove according to the invention is supported evenly in the closed or extended position.
- the bistable spring part in the respective glove finger extends from the tip there to almost the area of the second finger joint, then the gloved hand is supported in the area of the last phalanx, which when moving from the stretching position into the closed position and in particular when holding the closed position due to the anatomical conditions, the least force can be exerted - especially over a longer period of time.
- bistable spring part in the respective glove finger extends from the tip there to approximately in the area of the first finger joint. Especially in the case of very bulky gloves, or those which are made of particularly rigid material. rial, there is thus better support for the gloved hand over the entire or substantially the entire length of the finger.
- the bistable spring part in the respective glove finger can extend from the tip there over the two finger joints and the ankle joint into the area of the back of the hand.
- this configuration option provides protection or a kind of armor for the entire fingers, limbs and joints, including the ankle joint, which occurs when a motorcycle falls - or skiers are very susceptible to injury.
- first finger joint should be defined as the one that follows the finger-ankle joint.
- second finger joint is defined as the one to which the last phalanx with the finger tip is connected.
- the glove according to the invention can also be advantageously designed such that two bistable spring parts are arranged in each glove finger.
- the material from which the glove according to the invention is made is particularly rigid or inelastic due to the demands made, the provision of two bi-stable spring parts per glove finger can in particular advantageously support the movement from the extended position into the closed position become.
- the The two bistable spring parts are arranged one behind the other, for example in the longitudinal direction of the glove finger.
- the first spring part extends from the tip of the glove finger to approximately the area between the second and first finger joint
- the second spring part extends from a region approximately in the first finger joint beyond the adjacent ankle joint in the Area of the back of the glove.
- the first finger joint remains free, ie there is none of the bistable spring parts in the region of the first finger joint, so that this first finger joint, which due to the anatomical conditions during movement, is in the closed position and when holding the closed position must be angled the most, there are no restrictions in this bending movement.
- Another possible embodiment of the glove according to the invention with two bistable spring parts per glove finger would be to let the first spring part run from the tip of the glove finger almost into the area between the first finger joint and the neighboring ankle joint, and the second spring part beyond the ankle joint to run into the area of the back of the hand.
- This embodiment provides effective protection of finger and ankle joints, in particular, together with effective support for the Hand when moving from the extended to the closed position and especially when holding this closed position.
- the bi-stable spring parts are preferably arranged in the area of the back of the glove fingers. Apart from the fact that this leaves the inside of the fingers free in the sense that they are only covered by the glove material and so the sensor system is not impaired when gripping, the arrangement of the spring parts in the area of the back of the glove fingers also results in Advantage that this gives the glove fingers additional protection.
- the finger joints and possibly also the ankle joints are hereby additionally protected against injuries, for example if a motorcyclist falls.
- the bistable spring parts can also be arranged on the inside of the glove fingers. Especially in the case of thick gloves made of leather, for example, where the sensor technology is very limited anyway, the bistable spring parts can also be arranged on the inside of the glove fingers without having to accept any significant loss in comfort.
- the bistable spring parts can also be advantageous to arrange the bistable spring parts on the outside and inside of each glove finger.
- the bistable spring part lying on the outside can extend from the tip of the glove finger into the area between the first finger joint and the adjacent ankle joint
- the spring part lying on the inside of the glove finger can extend from an area between the first finger joint and ankle joint the palm part run into it.
- the spring part lying on the inside is not curved as much as the spring part lying on the outside, so that the wearing comfort does not deteriorate.
- the fingertip is free here, ie not covered by a spring part, so that at least the fingertip sensor system is not completely blocked.
- the bistable spring parts in the individual glove fingers are preferably of different lengths in order to obtain an optimal adaptation to the glove fingers of different lengths.
- the bistable spring parts are preferably embedded between the outer material and the lining material of the glove fingers. As a result, the visual appearance of the glove on the one hand and the wearing comfort of the glove on the other hand are not influenced by the spring parts.
- At least one bistable spring part is also arranged in the thumb part of the glove, the holding of the thumb or thumb part of the glove in the closed position can also be supported.
- the glove according to the invention can also be designed in the manner of a mitten in which the finger part is formed in one piece.
- the finger part is formed in one piece.
- at least one, but preferably a plurality of bistable spring parts arranged in parallel can be arranged in the finger part, so that the same advantages as a finger glove can be achieved even with a mitten.
- the bistable spring parts are preferably leaf springs made of metal, which, under the action of force, jump between an essentially straight, stretched orientation corresponding to the stretched position and an arcuately curved orientation corresponding to the closed position.
- This has the advantage that initially such leaf springs made of metal are inexpensive and with little effort Can be produced in practically any length and width, and the spring characteristics or strength can be largely adjusted as desired via the thickness of the leaf springs.
- the design of the spring parts as leaf springs has the advantage that when these spring parts or leaf springs are arranged in the region of the back of the glove fingers, as already explained above, the back of the fingers and, if appropriate, also the finger and / or ankle joints through the strip-shaped ones Receive a kind of armor from the design of the leaf springs. In the case of gloves for motorcyclists in particular, but also in gloves for skiers, such additional joint armor or such additional joint protection can be very valuable.
- the leaf springs are preferably approximately gutter-shaped in cross-section in the stretched-straight-line orientation with raised edges at the sides and in the arc-shaped curved orientation in cross-section approximately flat.
- the bistable leaf springs are in a stable end position both in the straight-stretched orientation and in the arcuate curved orientation, which means that weak force effects or deformation movements of the leaf springs in the respective end positions do not cause these end positions to be left immediately . Shocks, impacts or vibrations, such as can occur, for example, when riding a motorcycle, but also when windsurfing or the like, do not cause the spring parts to jump out of one of the end positions, so that in particular the closing position is kept by the spring parts or leaf springs is effectively supported even with increased stress.
- the force for the jumping movement of the leaf springs into the closed position is preferably applied by a person wearing the glove by corresponding finger movements.
- the leaf springs in their spring Force or spring characteristics should preferably be set so that although there is effective support for the gloved hand, in particular when the closed position is maintained, the forces exerted by the spring parts or leaf springs are not so high that the glove according to the invention or the gloves according to the invention carrying person can no longer easily move their hand from the closed to the extended position.
- the leaf springs are preferably provided with a protective coating, in particular made of elastic plastic.
- a protective coating in particular made of elastic plastic. This ensures, on the one hand, that the edges of the leaf springs, which can also be rounded, do not damage or sever the lining material or the outer material of the glove or adjacent stitching or the like, and moreover, such a plastic coating is effective Corrosion protection, which is particularly advantageous when the glove according to the invention is exposed to an environment which is aggressive in terms of corrosion, which is the case, for example, in windsurfing, where the leaf springs can possibly come into contact with salt water.

- the finger part 6 has four individual glove fingers 12, 14, 16 and 18 for index, middle and ring fingers, as well as for the little finger.
- the glove 2 according to the invention is characterized in that bistable spring parts are provided with two stable end positions, with the finger part in the one end position in the direction of it Closed position is kept deflected and in the other end position, the finger part is held in a more open position, such as the extended position.
- bistable spring parts are provided with two stable end positions, with the finger part in the one end position in the direction of it Closed position is kept deflected and in the other end position, the finger part is held in a more open position, such as the extended position.
- FIGS. 3A and 4A to 4C are sectional views of the glove finger 12, FIG. 2A showing the index finger 20 in a bent or curved position and FIGS. 3A and 4A to 4C showing the index finger 20 in show a stretched position.
- the glove finger 12 of the finger part 6 has a glove outer material 22 and an inner lining material 24 in a known manner.
- the outer material 22 consists of a material which can best meet the requirements imposed on it, for example wind and / or water resistance, abrasion resistance or the like.
- a typical material for the outer material 22 is leather. However, there are also other materials, for example synthetic leather, synthetic materials, linen or canvas - possibly with leather reinforcement - and the like.
- the lining material 24 is used to improve wearing comfort in general, to absorb sweat, as additional heat insulation, etc. and is made of a skin-friendly, comfortable material, for example cotton, non-woven fabric, breathable synthetic fibers or the like.
- 2B and 3B show a spring element 26 which is designed as a bistable spring part 28 with two stable end positions. 2B shows the one stable end position of the spring part 28, in which the spring part 28 is curved in an arc, and FIG. 3B shows the other stable end position of the spring part 28, in which the spring part 28 is essentially straight and straight.
- the spring part 28 is designed to be approximately flat in the curved, curved orientation, whereas the spring part 28 in its stretched-linear orientation according to FIG.
- 3B is approximately groove-shaped with edges 30 and 32 raised laterally and a bottom surface 34 is formed.
- the spring part 28 has edges or folds 36 and 38 in its straight-line orientation according to FIG. 3B.
- cross-sectional illustration according to FIG. 3C shows the formation of the folds 36 and 38 or the amount of kinking between the base surface 34 and edge 30 or base surface 34 and edge 32 in an exaggerated manner for reasons of a clearer illustration.
- the spring part 28 Due to the formation of the folds 36 and 38 running in the longitudinal direction of the spring part 28, the spring part 28 is self-sufficient in its stretched-linear orientation according to FIG. 3B, since the folds 36 and 38 the band-shaped material of the spring part 28 in its stretched-linear orientation 3B in the manner of a corrugated iron effect.
- a certain force has to be applied to the spring part 28, which stabilizes the effect of the Folds 36 and 38 in the longitudinal direction of the spring part 28 rises so that the spring part 28 is arched into its 2B snapped curved orientation. In this arcuately curved orientation, the spring part 28 according to FIG. 2C is approximately flat.
- such a bistable spring part 28 is arranged in a glove finger, for example in the glove finger 12.
- the arrangement of the spring part 28 advantageously takes place between the inside of the outer glove material 22 and the outer side of the lining material 24.
- the spring part 28 is not visible from the outside due to the outer material 22, which the outer appearance of the glove 2 does not impaired and furthermore the spring part 28 is protected against possible damage and the finger located in the glove finger, for example the index finger 20, is protected by the lining material 24 against direct contact with the spring part 28.
- the spring part 28 according to the figures is a leaf spring, in particular made of metal, a direct contact between the spring part 28 and the finger 20 should preferably be avoided if only for reasons of comfort.
- At least one glove finger has a bistable spring part 28, but is preferred each glove finger 12, 14, 16 and 18 has a bistable spring part 28.
- the thumb part 10 can also have a bistable spring part 28 between the outer material 22 there and the lining material 24 there.
- two or possibly more than two such spring parts can also be arranged in each glove finger.
- 2A and 3A show how a single bistable spring part 28 can be embedded between outer material 22 and lining material 24:
- the spring part 28 extends in the longitudinal direction of the glove finger 12 (similarly also / or in the longitudinal direction of the glove finger 14 and / or 16 and / or 18) starting from a tip 40 of the glove finger or a fingertip 42 of the finger 20 there to approximately in the area of a first finger joint 44 or beyond.
- a possible modification of the arrangement of the spring part 28 in the manner shown in FIGS. 2A and 3A is to arrange two bistable spring parts 28 in each glove finger 12, 14, 16 and 18. The two spring parts 28 are then arranged one behind the other, for example in the longitudinal direction of the glove finger.
- FIGS. 4A to 4C show design options in which two bistable spring elements are arranged in at least one glove finger 12, 14, 16 or 18.
- the first spring part 28 extends from the tip 40 of the glove finger to approximately the area between the second finger joint 44 and the first finger joint 46, and the second spring part 28 'extends from a region approximately at the first finger joint 46 beyond the adjacent ankle joint into the area of the back of the hand 4.
- Another possibility or modification would be the first spring part 28 from the tip 40 of the glove finger 12 to run approximately into the region between the first finger joint 46 and the adjacent ankle joint, and then to let the second spring part 28 'extend beyond this ankle joint into the region of the back part 4 of the hand.
- 4B shows the arrangement of the two bistable spring elements 28 and 28 'on the inside of the glove finger 12.
- bistable spring part 28 is arranged in one of the glove fingers 12 to 18, this can also be made so long that - unlike in the drawing or FIG. 2A - it extends from the tip 40 via both finger joints 44 and 46 and extends beyond the ankle joint to the back of the glove. It would also be conceivable to make two bistable spring parts 28 and 28 'so long that they partially overlap, for example in the area between the finger joints 44 and 46.
- the spring part or springs 28 are located either in the area of the back of the glove fingers 12, 14, 16 and 18 or on the inside of each Glove fingers or both on the outside or back as well as on the inside.
- the manner in which the spring part 28 or the spring parts 28 and 28 'are arranged in the individual glove fingers 12, 14, 16 and 18 depends on the respective requirements or uses of the glove and on the material from which the glove is made is made. In general it can be said that the more rigid the hand is shoe material and the more curved the individual glove fingers are in the closed position, for example in the case of a motorcycle glove, the more spring parts 28 and 28 'are to be arranged in the individual glove fingers and vice versa.
- the support characteristics which can be achieved with the bistable spring parts 28 and 28 'when transferring the hand from the extended position into the closed position and when holding the hand in the closed position depend on both the number and the arrangement of the spring parts 28 and 28 '.
- the spring parts 28 and / or 28 'to the glove fingers 12, 14, 16 and 18 are preferably of different lengths, that is to say adapted to the respective length of the individual glove fingers.
- the spring part or parts 28 in the glove fingers 12, 14, 16 and 18 in the one in FIGS. 3A and 3B stretched-straight alignment By means of the folds 36 and 38, the spring parts 28 are held in this straight, stretched orientation corresponding to the stretched position of the hand. Because of the elasticity inherent in the outer material 22, the individual glove fingers 12 to 18 can be easily put over the associated fingers despite the rail-like stiffening by the spring parts 28. Furthermore, the spring parts 28 do not or only insignificantly hinder the movement of the gloved hand into a slightly curved position, which corresponds to the relaxed rest position of the hand, in particular not if, according to FIGS.
- the fingers of the gloved hand become in the individual glove fingers 12 to 18 and possibly also in the thumb part 10 in them Supported closed position.
- “Supported” is understood here to mean that the stable end positions of the spring parts 28, that is to say the arcuately curved orientation thereof, makes a contribution — depending on the spring strength, of a greater or lesser extent — to the bending stiffness inherent in the outer glove material 22 which acts in the sense of a restoring force in the extended position of the glove 2.
- the gloved hand does not therefore have to apply more or less high additional forces in order to compensate for the return movements of the individual glove fingers; these return movements are more or less completely absorbed by the spring parts 28 or compensated, which are in the stable end position according to FIG. 2B. Due to the fact that practically only the actual gripping forces have to be applied by the gloved hand, whereas the restoring forces of the more or less stiff or inelastic outer material are absorbed by the spring parts, the invention is carried less tired Gloves 2 also possible over longer periods of time.
- two spring parts 28 and 28 ' are provided in the longitudinal direction of the glove fingers 12 to 18 running one behind the other.
- Such an arrangement of two spring parts in a row in a glove finger is particularly advantageous if the outer material 22 of the glove has to be particularly resistant and thick and is therefore particularly stiff and / or if the design of the glove 2 is provided of a single spring part 28 with a higher spring force and a correspondingly greater thickness does not permit, so that the transfer from the extended position into the closed position and in particular the holding of the closed position is supported by two spring parts which may be correspondingly thinner and are arranged one behind the other.
- the second finger joint 46 is not covered by any of the spring parts 28 or 28 ', since when the fingers are curved to achieve the closed position, this second finger joint 46 the strongest bend - in some cases up to 90 ° or more - must be carried out, such a strong bend being possibly hindered by a spring part 28 or 28 'running over the second finger joint 46.
- the spring part (s) 28 (28 ') are usually in the region of the Back of the glove fingers 12 to 18 and also of the thumb part 10.
- One reason for this is that an arrangement of the spring parts 28 designed as leaf springs in the region of the inside of the fingers would possibly hinder the sensor system.
- Another advantageous reason for arranging the spring parts 28 in the region of the back of the glove fingers is that the finger joints 44 and 46 and also the ankle joints adjoining them then have a certain protection or "armor" due to the leaf spring-shaped configuration of the spring parts 28 Experienced. This can be particularly advantageous especially for gloves for motorcycle and ski sports.
- the arrangement of the spring parts in the area of the back of the glove fingers is not mandatory, as has also already been stated.
- the spring parts can also be attached to the inside of the fingers. 4C, where the lower spring part 28 'extends from an area between the first finger joint 46 and the second finger joint 44 into the palm part, the last one primarily responsible for the sensor system Finger member with the fingertip is therefore not covered by the spring part 28 '.
- a force support of the last phalanx can then optionally be provided by a spring part located at the top, as shown in FIG. 4C.
- the spring force or hardness of the spring parts 28 (28 ') is preferably set such that, in particular, the closed position of the gloved hand, in which the spring parts 28 are in the stable end position shown in FIG. 2B is supported by force, however a transfer or a return movement into the extended position of the hand, in which the spring parts 28 have the other stable end position shown in FIG. 3B, is possible only by a corresponding extended movement of the fingers of the hand.
- the finger muscles can only bring the individual fingers into the extended position, but not significantly beyond, assistance is generally required for the transfer of the spring parts 28 and 28 'from the closed position to the extended position.
- This help can consist simply in that the thumb of the other hand is pressed onto the outside of the spring parts 28 and 28 'in order to push them into the extended position.
- the fingers can also be bent back so far by a corresponding wiping motion of the still closed hand, for example on the steering handle of a motorcycle, that the spring parts 28 and 28 'are urged into their straight, straight orientation. Since the hand can easily be pulled out of the glove and reinserted in the closed position of the glove, it is not necessary to transfer it to the extended position solely for the purpose of putting the gloves on and off. Only when the glove is to be used in the stretched position, such a transfer of the spring parts 28 and 28 'into the straight, stretched orientation is required.
- the leaf springs or spring parts 28 are preferably provided with a rounding 48 at one end, in particular at the end adjacent to the fingertip 42, in order not to deteriorate the wearing comfort of the glove and to avoid material damage. Furthermore, the spring parts 28 are provided with a protective cover, in particular made of elastic Provide plastic or sewn textile material. On the one hand, such a protective cover prevents the outer material 22 and / or the lining material 24 and / or any stitching or the like from being damaged or severed by edges or stamped burrs which may still be present on the spring parts 28. Furthermore, such a protective coating represents corrosion protection for the metallic leaf springs or spring parts 28.
- the description of the present invention was based on a glove with the four glove fingers 12 to 18 and the thumb part 10.
- the present invention can also be used with a so-called mitten, in which the finger part 6 is made in one piece for receiving pointing, middle and and ring finger and little finger is trained.
- One, preferably several, bistable spring parts 28 arranged parallel to one another can then be arranged in this one-piece finger part 6, whereby essentially the same effects and advantages as in the embodiment as a finger glove can be achieved.
- Special forms of gloves for example so-called two- or three-finger gloves, can of course also be equipped in the sense of the present invention.
- the configuration of the spring parts 28 is not limited to the described exemplary embodiment with the metallic leaf spring taking up two stable end positions. If, for example, only small forces are required to support the closed position in particular, for example in the case of light canvas or plastic gloves for surfing or sailing or the like, the bistable leaf springs can also be made from a suitable plastic material. Furthermore, under certain circumstances it would be conceivable to use a metal strip made of a so-called shape-memory alloy instead of metallic leaf springs with two stable end positions, which is used for certain Temperature changes - for example generated by a battery-fed heating element - suddenly change their shape, that is to say, for example, between a shape according to FIG. 3B and a shape according to FIG. 2B and vice versa.
- closable pockets can be formed on the glove fingers with Velcro fasteners or the like, which are located between the outer glove material and the lining material and serve to accommodate the spring parts.
- Velcro fasteners or the like which are located between the outer glove material and the lining material and serve to accommodate the spring parts.
- harder spring parts can be exchanged for softer ones or vice versa, in order to enable an optimal adaptation to the respective circumstances or the personal wishes of a person using the gloves.
- the formation of closable pockets for receiving the spring parts is also advantageous in that the spring parts can be removed and recycled beforehand if the gloves or gloves are thrown away.
