Abstract

An aspect of the present invention is a glove including: a glove main body knitted with a yarn made of fiber, the glove main body including: a main body portion; five finger-receiving portions each having a bottomed cylindrical shape; and a cylindrical cuff portion, wherein in at least a part of a palm part, the main body portion has a repeating structure of: a strip-shaped electrically conductive part containing an electrically conductive yarn; and a strip-shaped electrically non-conductive part not containing the electrically conductive yarn, a ratio of the number of courses of the electrically conductive part to the number of courses of the electrically non-conductive part, the electrically conductive part and the electrically non-conductive part being adjacent to each other, is no less than 1:2 and no greater than 1:6, the electrically conductive part is constituted by plating knitting of the electrically conductive yarn and an electrically non-conductive plating yarn, a fineness ratio of the electrically conductive yarn to the plating yarn is no less than 1:0.5 and no greater than 1:2, and a fineness ratio of an electrically non-conductive yarn, which constitutes the electrically non-conductive part, to the electrically conductive yarn contained in the electrically conductive part is no less than 1:0.4 and no greater than 1:1.

Claims (25)

1. A glove comprising:

a glove main body knitted with a yarn made of fiber, the glove main body comprising:

a main body portion;

five finger-receiving portions each having a bottomed cylindrical shape; and

a cylindrical cuff portion,

wherein

the main body portion is formed into a bag shape to cover a palm and a dorsal side of a wearer's hand, the five finger-receiving portions extend from the main body portion to cover each of a first finger to a fifth finger of the wearer, and the cuff portion extends in a direction opposite to the five finger-receiving portions,

in at least a part of a palm part, the main body portion comprises a repeating structure of: a strip-shaped electrically conductive part comprising an electrically conductive yarn; and a strip-shaped electrically non-conductive part not comprising the electrically conductive yarn,

a ratio of a number of courses of the electrically conductive part to a number of courses of the electrically non-conductive part, the electrically conductive part and the electrically non-conductive part being adjacent to each other, is no less than 1:3 and no greater than 1:6,

the electrically conductive part is constituted by plating knitting of the electrically conductive yarn and an electrically non-conductive plating yarn,

a fineness ratio of the electrically conductive yarn to the electrically non-conductive plating yarn is no less than 1:0.5 and no greater than 1:2,

a fineness ratio of an electrically non-conductive yarn, which constitutes the electrically non-conductive part, to the electrically conductive yarn comprised in the electrically conductive part is no less than 1:0.4 and no greater than 1:1, and

the number of courses of the electrically conductive part is no less than 1 course and no greater than 3 courses.

2. The glove according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the electrically conductive yarn is a core-sheath composite yarn, and

a core yarn of the core-sheath composite yarn is constituted by electrically non-conductive elastic fiber, and a sheath yarn of the core-sheath composite yarn comprises electrically conductive fiber.

3. The glove according to claim 2 ,

wherein

the elastic fiber is nylon fiber or polyester fiber subjected to crimping, and

an elongation rate of the elastic fiber is no less than 10% and no greater than 100%.

4. The glove according to claim 1 , wherein the electrically non-conductive plating yarn is an elastic yarn.

5. The glove according to claim 4 , wherein the electrically non-conductive plating yarn is a composite yarn comprising spandex fiber or natural rubber fiber.

6. The glove according to claim 1 , wherein in the repeating structure, a volume resistance value specified in EN 61340-2-3 is no less than 3.5×10 3 Ω and no greater than 1.0×10 8 Ω.

7. The glove according to claim 6 , wherein in the repeating structure, a surface resistance value specified in EN 61340-2-3 is no less than 3.5×10 3 Ω and no greater than 1.0×10 8 Ω.
