Opis Description

Oblast pronalaska Field of invention

[0001] Predmetni pronalazak se odnosi na oblast sigurnosti u industriji, konkretnije na sigurnost vrhova prstiju. Predmetni pronalazak se sastoji od zaštitnog elementa za prste koji odgovara posebnom dodatku koji je fiksiran na vrhovima prstiju sigurnosne rukavice, tako da su prsti zaštić eni od prignječenja, udaraca, ogrebotina, posekotina ili uboda prilikom obavljanja potencijalno opasnog posla. Dodatak je komad od tvrdog, otpornog materijala oblika sličnog polu-cilindru koji je zatvoren na jednom kraju, koji pruža zaštitu i ne ometa finu motoričku veštinu i oseć aj udobnosti prilikom njegove upotrebe. [0001] The subject invention relates to the field of safety in industry, more specifically to fingertip safety. The subject invention consists of a protective element for the fingers that corresponds to a special accessory that is fixed on the tips of the fingers of a safety glove, so that the fingers are protected from crushing, blows, scratches, cuts or punctures when performing potentially dangerous work. The accessory is a piece of hard, resistant material shaped like a semi-cylinder that is closed at one end, which provides protection and does not interfere with fine motor skills and the feeling of comfort when using it.

Stanje tehnike State of the art

[0002] U cilju zaštite radnika od svih rizika koji nastaju od rukovanja oštrim alatima ili materijalima, reznim ivicama, metalnim opiljcima, od izvesnih udaraca i usled mnogih drugih fizičkih rizika, potrebno je preduzeti odgovarajuć e mere na radnom mestu kako bi se nesreć e sprečile. [0002] In order to protect workers from all risks arising from handling sharp tools or materials, cutting edges, metal filings, from certain blows and due to many other physical risks, it is necessary to take appropriate measures at the workplace in order to prevent accidents.

[0003] Posebno za zaštitu šaka od opisanih rizika, postoje različite vrste rukavica od različitih materijala koje odgovaraju zahtevima za bezbednost radnog mesta. [0003] Especially for the protection of the hands from the described risks, there are different types of gloves made of different materials that correspond to the requirements for workplace safety.

[0004] Zaštitne rukavice mora nositi svo osoblje neke kompanije, kako u proizvodnji tako i u kontroli, koje je izloženo detaljnim rizicima. Prema tome, predmetni pronalazak rešava problem bezbednosti na radnom mestu, pošto treć ina nesreć a na poslu, u industriji uključuje prste, šake i ruke. [0004] Protective gloves must be worn by all personnel of a company, both in production and in control, who are exposed to detailed risks. Therefore, the present invention solves the problem of workplace safety, since one third of accidents at work in industry involve fingers, hands and arms.

[0005] Široko su poznate brojne radne rukavice koje se koriste u industriji, koje su inkorporirale određene elemente u skladu sa aktivnošć u koja se sprovodi. Najčeš ć e koriš ć ene rukavice su kožne rukavice, koje su modifikovane, npr. ojačane inkorporiranjem više slojeva u zone koje su više izložene ošteć enjima od posekotina, ogrebotina itd. Štaviše, modifikovan je njihov dizajn šivenja, što ih čini otpornijim, ili su ugrađeni elementi poput tačaka od gume ili PVC-a (polivinil hlorid) da se spreči klizanje. [0005] Numerous work gloves used in industry are widely known, which have incorporated certain elements in accordance with the activity in which they are carried out. The most commonly used gloves are leather gloves, which are modified, e.g. reinforced by incorporating multiple layers in areas that are more exposed to damage from cuts, scratches, etc. Moreover, their stitching design has been modified, making them more resistant, or elements such as rubber or PVC (polyvinyl chloride) dots have been incorporated to prevent slipping.

[0006] Neka istraživanja su se bavila problemom zaštite prstiju, npr. sa metalnim elementima, kao što je patent US2008216209 koji uključuje metalne prstenove oko prstiju, ugrađene u rukavicu; međutim, to ć e pružiti samo određeni stepen zaštite prstima. Sa ovim prstenovima, rukavica ne gubi fleksibilnost ili jednostavnost rukovanja, ali pruža samo delimičnu zaštitu. [0006] Some research has dealt with the problem of finger protection, e.g. with metal elements, such as patent US2008216209 which includes metal rings around the fingers, built into the glove; however, it will only provide some degree of protection to the fingers. With these rings, the glove does not lose flexibility or ease of use, but only provides partial protection.

[0007] Osim toga, brojni patenti su pokušali da reše problem zaštite određenih zona šake, kao što su nokti, npr. patent US20110041225, koji se odnosi na rukavicu koja ima zaštitne podloge postavljene unutar rukavice na vrhu dorzalnog dela prstiju kako bi se sprečilo ošteć enje vrhova prstiju usled kontakta sa spoljašnjosti i struganje ili frikcija od strane unutrašnje površine rukavice. Zaštitne podloge mogu biti izrađene od mekog ili glatkog materijala kako bi se izbeglo grebanje, punjenje ili ošteć enje noktiju. [0007] In addition, numerous patents have tried to solve the problem of protecting certain areas of the hand, such as the nails, e.g. patent US20110041225, which relates to a glove having protective pads placed inside the glove on top of the dorsal portion of the fingers to prevent damage to the fingertips from contact with the outside and abrasion or friction from the inside surface of the glove. Protective pads can be made of soft or smooth material to avoid scratching, filling or damaging the nails.

[0008] Još jedan primer je patent US20100071114, koji se odnosi na građevinsku rukavicu koja sadrži rukavicu u obliku ljudske šake, pri čemu navedena rukavica ima krajeve koji su povezani sa njom i nekoliko protektora u vidu duguljastih elemenata koji se pružaju u suštini po dužini prstiju i palca, susedne delove vrhova prstiju i palca, sloj koji ima gornje i donje površine. Međutim, ovaj dizajn sprečava odvijanje aktivnosti koje zahtevaju finu motoričku veštinu, pošto zaštitni elementi inkorporirani po dužini prsta, čine prst jako krutim. [0008] Another example is patent US20100071114, which refers to a construction glove that contains a glove in the shape of a human hand, wherein said glove has ends that are connected to it and several protectors in the form of oblong elements that extend essentially along the length of the fingers and thumb, the adjacent parts of the tips of the fingers and the thumb, a layer that has upper and lower surfaces. However, this design prevents activities that require fine motor skills, as the protective elements incorporated along the length of the finger make the finger very stiff.

[0009] U patentu JP2009062649 ugrađen je zaštitnik za šaku, dobijen pokrivanjem delova prstiju koji odgovaraju drugom prstu do petog prsta rukavice sa cevastim ojačanjem koje sadrži više cevi, pri čemu je smanjena radna sposobnost, pošto su elementi ojačanja cevasti. Ovaj patent uključuje cevaste elemente duž cele dužine prsta, tj. unutrašnje i spoljne strane prsta, čime se rukovanje jako otežava. [0009] In the patent JP2009062649, a hand protector is incorporated, obtained by covering the parts of the fingers corresponding to the second finger to the fifth finger of a glove with tubular reinforcement containing several tubes, whereby the working ability is reduced, since the reinforcing elements are tubular. This patent includes tubular elements along the entire length of the finger, ie. inner and outer sides of the finger, which makes handling very difficult.

[0010] Prema tome, ovaj pronalazak rešava problem koji nema rešenje u stanju tehnike, u potpunosti zadovoljavajuć i bezbednosne zahteve bez ugrožavanja finih motoričkih veština za manipulaciju. [0010] Therefore, this invention solves a problem that has no solution in the state of the art, fully satisfying the safety requirements without compromising fine motor skills for manipulation.

[0011] Prema tome, predmet predstavljenog pronalaska je da se razvije zaštitni element za prst rukavice. [0011] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to develop a protective element for the finger of a glove.

[0012] Dokument US 2005/0114982 A1 otkriva zaštitnu rukavicu koja ima fleksibilnu podlogu koja odgovara obliku ruke i ručnog zgloba i ima mnoštvo čvrstih štitnika koji su pričvršć eni za njega preko distalnih, srednjih i proksimalnih kostiju falanksa, metakarpalnih i kostiju ručnog zgloba osobe koja je nosi. Distalni štitnik je oblikovan u obliku šoljice postavljene preko zadnje strane distalne kosti falanksa. [0012] Document US 2005/0114982 A1 discloses a protective glove which has a flexible base that conforms to the shape of the hand and wrist and has a plurality of rigid protectors attached thereto over the distal, middle and proximal phalanx, metacarpal and wrist bones of the wearer. The distal guard is shaped like a cup placed over the back of the distal phalanx bone.

Detaljan opis pronalaska Detailed description of the invention

[0015] Potreba za zaštitnim elementom za prste, bez da se smanji pokretljivosti i komfor, dovodi do ideje da se u krajeve prstiju rukavica ugradi poseban dodatak koji štiti prste od udaraca, posekotina, ogrebotina, uboda ili teških udara, tako da postoji jedan zaštitni element ili dodatak po prstu i svaka rukavica može imati onoliko zaštitnih elemenata koliko ima prstiju. Ovaj dodatak je komad oblika sličnog onom na Slici 1. [0015] The need for a protective element for the fingers, without reducing mobility and comfort, leads to the idea of installing a special accessory in the ends of the glove's fingers that protects the fingers from blows, cuts, scratches, punctures or heavy impacts, so that there is one protective element or accessory per finger and each glove can have as many protective elements as there are fingers. This attachment is a piece of shape similar to that in Figure 1.

[0016] Ovaj pronalazak se sastoji od zaštitnog elementa ili dodatka od različitih otpornih materijala, kao što su, ali ne ograničavajuć i se na: tvrdu plastiku, polimerne materijale kao što su poliamid, staklena vlakna ili metal. Ovaj dodatak je pričvršć en ili čvrsto fiksiran u svaki kraj rukavice, bilo u unutrašnjosti ili izvan nje, i ima visinu koja je pažljivo dizajnirana da ne ometa rukovanje. Komad može biti podvrgnut sitnim varijacijama u obliku i veličini u zavisnosti od prsta na koji ć e ovaj dodatak biti pričvrš ć en, sa mogu ć noš ć u da bude inkorporiran na jedan ili više prstiju, po potrebi, ali koncept ć e ostati isti - da služi kao zaštita za prste. [0016] This invention consists of a protective element or accessory made of different resistant materials, such as, but not limited to: hard plastic, polymeric materials such as polyamide, glass fibers or metal. This accessory is attached or firmly fixed to each end of the glove, either inside or outside, and has a height that is carefully designed not to interfere with handling. The piece may undergo slight variations in shape and size depending on the finger to which this accessory will be attached, with the possibility of being incorporated on one or more fingers, as needed, but the concept will remain the same - to serve as protection for the fingers.

[0017] Zaštitni element ili dodatak se značajno razlikuje od postojeć ih pronalazaka koji imaju isti cilj, uglavnom zato što njegov oblik ne uzima u obzir samo faktore koji se odnose na efikasnu zaštitu ekstremiteta, što je glavni cilj, nego i ergonomske faktore koji pružaju neuporedive prednosti u pogledu fine motoričke veštine i oseć aja komfora pri njegovoj upotrebi, u poređenju sa modelima koji sadrže potpuni zaštitnik ekstremiteta. Ovo se objašnjava činjenicom da zaštitni elementi koji se ovde predlažu međusobno retko dolaze u kontakt, s obzirom da se nalaze u prstima rukavica, i stvaraju manje trenja i smetnji među prstima kada se rukavica koristi. Ovo je takođe zbog toga što inventivni zaštitni element razmatra zadnje podupirače u visini prvih falangi prstiju, koji su prirodno locirani na različitim rastojanjima od baze ruke u skladu sa različitom dužinom prstiju. [0017] The protective element or accessory is significantly different from existing inventions that have the same goal, mainly because its shape does not only take into account factors related to the effective protection of the extremities, which is the main goal, but also ergonomic factors that provide incomparable advantages in terms of fine motor skills and the feeling of comfort during its use, compared to models that contain a complete protector of the extremities. This is explained by the fact that the protective elements proposed here rarely come into contact with each other, since they are located in the fingers of the gloves, and create less friction and interference between the fingers when the glove is used. This is also because the inventive protective element considers the rear supports at the level of the first phalanges of the fingers, which are naturally located at different distances from the base of the hand according to the different lengths of the fingers.

[0018] Zaštitni element ili dodatak može biti izrađen od različitih tvrdih materijala i ima polu-cilindrični oblik zatvoren na jednom kraju i otvoren na suprotnom kraju, a delom i na svojim bočnim stranama, pri čemu se navedeni dodatak nalazi na distalnom kraju poleđine prstiju rukavice, i navedeni element ima svoj gornji deo u obliku izduženog polukruga povezanog sa polu-prstenom, njegova bočna strana je diskontinualna i prednji kraj je zatvoren. [0018] The protective element or accessory can be made of different hard materials and has a semi-cylindrical shape closed at one end and open at the opposite end, and partly on its sides, wherein said accessory is located at the distal end of the back of the fingers of the glove, and said element has its upper part in the form of an elongated semicircle connected to a semi-ring, its side is discontinuous and the front end is closed.

[0019] Takođe je opisana i rukavica koja ima bar jedan od navedenih zaštitnih elemenata ili pribora. [0019] Also described is a glove that has at least one of the aforementioned protective elements or accessories.
