Cut-Resistant Glove

Abstract

A cut-resistant glove is provided which is formed of a composite yarn comprising a core and a covering layer formed by wrapping a covering fiber around the core, the core being composed of a metal thin wire and an attending yarn comprising a filament yarn, the surface of which is coated with a rubber or a resin. The cut-resistant glove is excellent not only in moisture absorption property, putting-on-feeling, use feeling and workability in the state of being put on, but also in non-slip property, water proofness, strength and cut-resistant property.

1 . A cut-resistant glove which is formed of a composite yarn comprising a core and a covering layer formed by wrapping a covering fiber around the core, the core being composed of a metal thin wire and an attending yarn comprising a filament yarn, the surface of which is coated with a rubber or a resin. 
   
   
       2 . The cut-resistant glove according to  claim 1 , wherein the metal thin wire comprises a stainless steel. 
   
   
       3 . The cut-resistant glove according to  claim 1 , wherein the attending yarn comprises at least one filament yarn selected from polyethylene, ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, polyester and polyparaphenylene terephthalamide. 
   
   
       4 . The cut-resistant glove according to  claim 3 , wherein the attending yarn comprises ultra high molecular weight polyethylene. 
   
   
       5 . The cut-resistant glove according to  claim 3 , wherein the attending yarn comprises polyester. 
   
   
       6 . The cut-resistant glove according to  claim 1 , wherein the covering fiber comprises at least one fiber selected from polyethylene, polyaramid, polyester, polyamide, polyacryl, cotton and wool. 
   
   
       7 . The cut-resistant glove according to  claim 6 , wherein the covering fiber comprising polyester or polyamide is crimped. 
   
   
       8 . The cut-resistant glove according to  claim 1 , wherein the covering layer comprises a first covering layer and a second covering layer wrapped in the opposite direction to that of the first covering layer. 
   
   
       9 . The cut-resistant glove according to  claim 1 , wherein the attending yarn is wound around the metal thin wire at 2 to 60 turns per meter of the metal thin wire. 
   
   
       10 . The cut-resistant glove according to  claim 1 , wherein the glove is plated with a synthetic fiber or a natural fiber in such a manner that the plated fiber is set in the inside of the glove. 
   
   
       11 . The cut-resistant glove according to  claim 10 , wherein the synthetic fiber for plating comprises a composite fiber of a polyurethane fiber and at least one synthetic fiber selected from polyamide, polyethylene, polyester, polyphenylene terephthalamide and rayon, or at least one synthetic fiber selected from polyamide, polyethylene, polyester, polyphenylene terephthalamide and rayon. 
   
   
       12 . The cut-resistant glove according to  claim 10 , wherein the natural fiber for plating comprises cotton. 
   
   
       13 . The cut-resistant glove according to  claim 1 , wherein the rubber is at least one rubber selected from the group consisting of natural rubber, synthetic rubber and modified bodies thereof. 
   
   
       14 . The cut-resistant glove according to  claim 13 , wherein the synthetic rubber is at least one rubber selected from the group consisting of nitrile butadiene rubber, styrene butadiene rubber, chloroprene rubber, silicone rubber, fluorinated rubber, chlorosulfonated polyethylene rubber, isoprene rubber and modified bodies thereof. 
   
   
       15 . The cut-resistant glove according to  claim 13 , wherein the resin is at least one resin selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, polyvinyl acetate and modified bodies thereof.
