Description

DESCRIPTION

Two-digit manicure glove

Technical object of the invention

The present invention refers to a garment specially designed for use by professionals who care for the hands of clients who go to beauty salons, hairdressers or any other public or private establishment that offers such manicure activities.

It is a glove that only covers the thumb and index finger of a single hand. That is, we are not talking about a pair of gloves, as usual, but it is a single garment that is designed for right- or left-handed people, depending on the case.

The purpose of this special glove is to protect the hand of the professional who, in her back and forth movements with the usual specific files, suffers constant friction on the fingers mentioned with the result of wounds that, in addition to the natural discomfort, can become infected .

Technical sector to which the invention relates

The invention that is presented affects the Common Needs of Life Sector, chapter on Personal or Household Objects with regard to Clothing, affecting, from an industrial point of view, the manufacture and sale of hand protection garments. Background of the invention

It is practically impossible to summarize the records recorded on garments or accessories designed for the purpose of protecting people's hands.

The explanation of this proliferation of inventions in this specialty is very simple because the hands are the ones that are always present in any human activity, being a real misfortune that of those who cannot dispose of them in the course of their lives.

In a simplified way we can say that there is a family of gloves as a garment and another family of work gloves.

The invention presented in this document corresponds to the second family, within which there is also a wide range of solutions, including those for cleaning, waterproof gloves, gloves for surgeons, reinforced gloves, gloves industrial, etc.

As an example, to give an idea of the different existing solutions, we will cite the following:

- ES-0270834 U Glove for cleaning with abrasive and absorbent coating

- ES-1048674 U Protective glove for hairdresser

- ES-1073341 U Covering and finger protection element

- ES-0151291 U Sterile glove

That is to say, it is clear that there are glove designs depending on the type of work to be carried out, this being the motivation that has led the inventor to conceive the glove presented in this document for which she knows no antecedent.

Summary description of the invention

The present invention describes a work garment in the form of a bidigital glove, specially designed for professionals who are engaged in manicure activities, including filing the nails of clients. For this, auxiliary tools are used, in the form of special files, which must be repeatedly moved over the treated nail to reduce its length or to give it a certain shape to suit the person. In the course of this work, the professional must take special care to avoid damaging the client's fingers, since it is obvious that the file used moves very close to the fingertips. Once this first objective has been achieved, there is another, no less important, which is to avoid damage to the professional's own hands, which is not a minor matter since the usual thing is that the repetitive and rapid back and forth movement of the file produces very frequent frictions in the thumb and index finger of the professional's hand holding the hand of the client being worked on.

The complete protection of that hand with a glove is not convenient because precision and sensitivity are lost at work. In addition, the existing gloves do not solve the question because they do not have sufficient resistance to wear, they are sold in pairs and their price is not negligible in this case that requires frequent renewal due to breaks.

For all these reasons, the inventor proposes a bidigital glove for a single hand that serves to protect exclusively the index fingers and thumb. The manufacture of gloves for right- and left-handed people is contemplated to cover all possible needs.

The glove of the invention has four well differentiated parts which are the following:

- palm area

- area of the back of the hand

- reinforced zone

- adjustment zone on the wrist

The first covers the thumb and index fingers in that part of the hand and is made of a continuous material of a textile type or natural or artificial leather.

The second covers the area of the back with the particularity that it is made of a reticular material to promote ventilation of the fingers it covers.

The third characterizes the invention especially as it defines the areas most exposed to involuntary friction and is manufactured in a material resistant to wear and abrasion. The material of the reinforced areas is added as a single flexible fabric sewn or welded to the adjacent areas or is superimposed on the continuous material of the palm of the hand.

As for the area of adjustment on the wrist, it is preferably of the elastic type or closure by waistband with buckle, with Velcro® or any other.

Using this type of bi-digital glove has the advantage of avoiding self-harm for the manicurist and optimizing the total price, since only one glove is needed with less material than is necessary to cover the entire hand.

The natural wear and tear of the reinforced areas will make it necessary to renew the bidigital glove with some frequency but it is evident that its advantages outweigh the inconvenience of its frequent replacement.

In the section of schematic drawings included below, as an inseparable part of this document, the basic idea of this invention is shown without prejudice to the fact that small modifications may be applied that do not alter said basic idea.

Detailed explanation of an embodiment of the invention

Bidigital manicure glove (1) (Figs. 1 and 2) consisting of a work garment intended for use by manicure professionals which, in an embodiment preferred by its inventor, is presented as a glove that only covers thumb and index finger of one hand; the left for right-handed people and the right for left-handed professionals, with the particularity that it is made up of four pieces joined together by sewing, gluing or any other procedure.

One of the pieces covers an area of the palm of the hand, another covers an area of the back of the hand, another is used as a bracelet to hold the glove to the wrist, finally, there are reinforced areas that partially interest the finger. thumb and index finger.

In (Fig. 1) a left hand is represented equipped with the bidigital glove (1) of the invention. For the best view of the figure, the rest of the hand has been represented in line of points. In this figure, the palm part of the hand (4) and the wrist strap (5) can be clearly distinguished, also observing the existence of a reinforcement on the thumb (2) and another reinforcement on the index finger (3) that do not affect all of these fingers but rather partially protect them.

In (Fig. 2) we can see the same hand also equipped with the bidigital glove (1) in view taken from the side of the back of the hand, appreciating that most of the glove is made up of a piece from the back of the hand ( 6). You can also see the reinforcement of the index finger (3), a small part of the palm part of the hand (4) and the support bracelet (5).

The inventor conceives, in a second embodiment, the assembly of this bidigital glove (1) with the part of the back of the hand (6), the support bracelet (5) and a part of the palm of the hand (4 ) that covers not only the area indicated in the first embodiment, described above, but a broader one that includes the areas of both reinforcements (2) and (3). In this second embodiment, the reinforcements of the thumb (2) and index finger (3) are superimposed, glued or sewn, to the material of the palm of the hand (4) in the same location as indicated in the first realization. In this way, although a greater amount of material is needed in the manufacture of the glove, the level of protection of the affected fingers is improved.

The arrangement of the thumb (2) and index finger (3) reinforcements, as designed, is convenient so that when the manicure professional holds, with her protected hand, the hand of the beauty salon user , the reinforcements are precisely in the area most exposed to the possible friction of the file used so that optimal protection is achieved.

In any case, given that no matter how careful one is, the aforementioned frictions always occur, it happens that after many interventions, they wear out and the reinforcements break, making it necessary to renew the bidigital glove (1) of the invention. Hence the importance of the materials used in its preparation.

The material of the piece of the palm of the hand (4) is common in gloves, choosing natural or artificial leather or any other textile. The material of the piece of the back of the hand (6) is chosen from those of the reticular type to promote ventilation and prevent sweating of the hand. As for the one corresponding to the fastening bracelet (5), it is of the elastic type, to easily insert the hand, or also of the waist type with an adjustable buckle closure or with a Velcro® type closure.

Finally, the material of the reinforcements is chosen from among those that have the best properties against wear and abrasion, the inventor preferably leaning towards Kevlar®, which has excellent characteristics in this regard. However, any other that has these properties is not ruled out.

It is not considered necessary to make the content of this description more extensive for an expert in the field to understand the scope and advantages derived from the invention, as well as to develop and put into practice the object thereof. However, it should be understood that the invention has been described according to a preferred embodiment thereof, so that it can be susceptible to modifications without affecting or implying any alteration of the foundation of said invention. That is to say, the terms in which this preferred description of the invention has been set forth should always be taken broadly and not limitatively.
