Abstract

A fixed-sensor finger action detecting glove has a glove body, five covering sheets, five fixing bases, five sensors, and five fixing assemblies. A side of the glove body forms a hand back section and five finger back sections. The covering sheet is mounted on the finger back section and forms a passage. The fixing base is made from a flexible material, is mounted through the passage, and has two limiting walls. The sensor is located in the passage between the two limiting walls, preventing the sensor from deviating. The fixing assembly is mounted between an end of the sensor and an end of the finger back section, detachably connects the sensor and the finger back section, and prevents the sensor from moving back and forth. Thus, the fixed-sensor finger action detecting glove is capable of detecting actions of the fingers precisely.

Claims (32)

1. A fixed-sensor finger action detecting glove comprising:

a glove body having

a side surface;

a hand back section formed on the side surface of the glove body; and

five finger back sections formed on the side surface of the glove body and connecting to the hand back section;

a sensing assembly mounted on the hand back section of the glove body;

multiple covering sheets mounted on the finger back sections respectively; each one of the covering sheets and the corresponding finger back section forming a passage surrounded by the covering sheet and the finger back section, and the passage having two openings on two ends thereof, respectively;

multiple fixing bases mounted in the passages respectively and being made of a flexible material; each one of the fixing bases being in a strip shape and having

two limiting walls spaced apart and extending along the corresponding passage;

multiple sensors mounted through the passages respectively; each one of the sensors being in a strip shape and located between the two limiting walls of the fixing base in the corresponding passage; two ends of each one of the sensors being an inner end and an outer end respectively, and the inner end connecting to the sensing assembly; and

multiple fixing assemblies corresponding in position to the sensors respectively; each one of the fixing assemblies having

a first fixing unit mounted on the outer end of the corresponding sensor; and

a second fixing unit mounted on an end of the finger back section corresponding to said sensor; the first fixing unit and the second fixing unit detachably combined with each other.

2. The fixed-sensor finger action detecting glove as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each one of the fixing bases further comprises

a baseboard; the two limiting walls protruding upwards from two sides of the baseboard respectively; the corresponding sensor mounted on the baseboard.

3. The fixed-sensor finger action detecting glove as claimed in claim 2 , wherein each one of the fixing bases further comprises

two stopping sheets formed on tops of the two limiting walls respectively, bending to each other, and abutting a top surface of the corresponding sensor.

4. The fixed-sensor finger action detecting glove as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each one of the fixing bases further comprises

two combination sections protruding from two outer side surfaces of the two limiting walls respectively, combined with two sides of the corresponding covering sheet respectively, and combined with the corresponding finger back section.

5. The fixed-sensor finger action detecting glove as claimed in claim 3 , wherein each one of the fixing bases further comprises

two combination sections protruding from two outer side surfaces of the two limiting walls respectively, combined with two sides of the corresponding covering sheet respectively, and combined with the corresponding finger back section.

6. The fixed-sensor finger action detecting glove as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the two sides of each one of the covering sheets are sewed on the corresponding finger back section with the two corresponding combination sections.

7. The fixed-sensor finger action detecting glove as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the two sides of each one of the covering sheets are sewed on the corresponding finger back section with the two corresponding combination sections.

8. The fixed-sensor finger action detecting glove as claimed in claim 1 , wherein two sides of each one of the covering sheets are sewed on the corresponding finger back section.

9. The fixed-sensor finger action detecting glove as claimed in claim 1 , wherein two sides of each one of the covering sheets bend and extend to a bottom surface of the corresponding fixing base, and are mounted between the fixing base and the corresponding finger back section.

10. The fixed-sensor finger action detecting glove as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the two sides of each one of the covering sheets bend and extend to a bottom surface of the corresponding fixing base, and are mounted between the fixing base and the corresponding finger back section.

11. The fixed-sensor finger action detecting glove as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each one of the fixing bases is made from flexible plastic.

12. The fixed-sensor finger action detecting glove as claimed in claim 10 , wherein each one of the fixing bases is made from flexible plastic.

13. The fixed-sensor finger action detecting glove as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each one of the fixing assemblies is a snap button.

14. The fixed-sensor finger action detecting glove as claimed in claim 12 , wherein each one of the fixing assemblies is a snap button.

15. The fixed-sensor finger action detecting glove as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a number of the covering sheets is five; a number of the fixing bases is five; a number of the sensors is five; a number of the fixing assemblies is five.

16. The fixed-sensor finger action detecting glove as claimed in claim 14 , wherein a number of the covering sheets is five; a number of the fixing bases is five; a number of the sensors is five; a number of the fixing assemblies is five.
