Definitions
- the present invention relates to a seamless knit glove with electrically conductive finger regions enabling a user to operate an electronic device having a capacitive touch screen.
- the conductive touch screen does not operate properly because the screen is designed to change electrical state when the user's finger touches the screen. Since the user's finger has an electrical charge associated with it, when the user touches a capacitive touch screen, the screen changes its electrical state at that particular location thereby resulting in a user input to the cell phone or tablet. However, when the user wears gloves in cold weather, the capacitive touch screen does not operate because the yarn separates and electrically isolates the user's finger pads from the capacitive touch screen. Generally, electrical current does not flow through common knit gloves.

Abstract
The seamless knit glove has electrically conductive finger regions, either defined by pads or thread. The glove is worn by a user to enable operation of a capacitive touch screen on an electronic device. The seamless knit glove finger sleeves, anterior palm side and posterior “back side” are knit as a unitary structure which has a high degree of stretch. The glove needs no finger-linking operation to attach the sleeves to the anterior and posterior glove regions. In one, electrically conductive yarn is deployed over at least an anterior tip region of the thumb and the index finger sleeve to enable the user to activate a capacitive touch screen of an electronic device. The user's electrical skin condition is transferred via the conductive threads to the capacitive touch screen. In another, a multiplicity of printed-on conductive ink pads is disposed over the anterior surfaces of the thumb and index sleeves.
Description
- The present invention relates to a seamless knit glove with electrically conductive finger regions enabling a user to operate an electronic device having a capacitive touch screen.
- In northern climates, individuals typically wear gloves during winter. When those individuals wish to operate capacitive touch screen cellular telephones or computer tablets, collectively identified herein as “electronic devices,” the conductive touch screen does not operate properly because the screen is designed to change electrical state when the user's finger touches the screen. Since the user's finger has an electrical charge associated with it, when the user touches a capacitive touch screen, the screen changes its electrical state at that particular location thereby resulting in a user input to the cell phone or tablet. However, when the user wears gloves in cold weather, the capacitive touch screen does not operate because the yarn separates and electrically isolates the user's finger pads from the capacitive touch screen. Generally, electrical current does not flow through common knit gloves.
- Therefore, there is a need for knit gloves which permit the passage of electrical current from the user's finger pads to the outer surface of the knit gloves.
- U.S. Patent Publication No. 2011/0047672 to Hatfield discloses a glove with conductive fingertips but not a seamless knit glove with limited conductive regions suitable in a single size-fits-all style. U.S. Pat. No. 7,779,656 to Dias discloses knitting techniques to weave conductive threads into clothing. U.S. Pat. No. 6,941,775 to Sharma discloses tubular knit fabric with a conductive thread therein. U.S. Patent Publication No. 2009/0019624 to Birk discloses a knit fabric with thermal protective properties. U.S. Patent Publication No. 2009/0049869 to Malloy discloses a protective sleeve with thermal protection features. U.S. Patent Publication No. 2010/020612 to Cavaion discloses a seamless resistive garments with electrical circuits and threads therein.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a seamless knit glove with electrically conductive finger regions.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide electrically conductive yarn deployed over at least an anterior tip end region of the thumb sleeve of the glove and deployed over an end tip of an anterior index finger sleeve to enable the user to activate a capacitive touch screen of the electronic device.
- It is another object of the invention to use a multiplicity of conductive ink pads on the anterior portions of the seamless knit gloves whereby, when the gloves are worn by the user, the seamless knit stretches to establish an electrical connection between the hand and finger of the user, the ink pads and the capacitive touch screen of the electronic device.
- It is a further object of the present invention to provide a seamless knit glove wherein a single size fits all enabling small children as well as adults to wear a single size glove.
- The seamless knit glove has electrically conductive finger regions. The glove is adapted to be worn by a user to enable the user to operate an electronic device having a capacitive touch screen. The seamless knit glove includes finger sleeves, an anterior palm side glove region and a posterior or “back side” glove region. These glove regions and finger sleeves are knit as a unitary structure on a single knitting machine, a single seamless glove making machine. In this manner, the glove needs no finger-linking operation to attach the finger sleeves to the anterior and posterior glove regions. One of the finger sleeves is adapted to retain the thumb of a user and another finger sleeve is adapted to retain an index finger of the user. Electrically conductive yarn is deployed over at least an anterior tip region of the thumb sleeve and an anterior tip region of the index finger sleeve to enable the user to activate a capacitive touch screen of an electronic device. The user's electrical skin condition is transferred via the conductive threads to the capacitive touch screen.
- In another embodiment, the seamless knit glove has printed thereon a multiplicity of conductive ink pads on the anterior portions of the seamless knit gloves whereby, when the gloves are worn by the user, the seamless knit stretches to establish an electrical connection between the hand and finger of the user, the ink pads and the capacitive touch screen of the electronic device. The seamless knit glove, knitted on a 7 gauge automatic machine, has stretch nylon automatically disbursed throughout the glove by the knitting process to allow an equal distribution of stretch throughout the glove. With the use of acrylic or other 7 gauge yarn along with stretch nylon, the glove becomes a form fitting unit tapered along the contours of the hand, fingers and wrist. It is this tapering and related stress on the yarn/stretch nylon blend that allows conductivity from the finger tips to interact with the conductive ink to activate a capacitive touch screen. The knit glove which is seamless knit glove allows significant stress between the hand and finger joints which a circular knit finger-linked glove would not permit or withstand without delinking.

A plurality of electricallyconductive threads 18 are deployed in the knit glove at anteriortip end region 16 ofthumb sleeve 12. The threads electrically couple the interior of the glove sleeve (and the finger) with an exterior, exposedsurface 16 ofsleeve 12. In this manner, when the user inserts his or her finger, namely his or her thumb, intothumb sleeve 12, the electrical state of the finger is transferred to the exterior surface, that isanterior surface 14, ofthumb sleeve 12 via the conductive threads.Conductive threads 18 are shown diagrammatically inFIG. 1 . -
Index finger sleeve 20 includesanterior side surface 22.

FIG. 2 diagrammatically illustratesglove 10 and, more particularly, the posterior ofglove 10.Thumb sleeve 12 has posterior orbackside region 13 and a small edge of anteriortip end region 18 is visible from an edge-wise view inFIG. 2 .Index finger 20 has aposterior side 21. Conductive anteriortip end region 26 is shown in dashed lines inFIG. 2 . - The knit seamless glove is adapted to fit a wide range of users, from 4 years old to an adult. Therefore, the seamless knit glove is easy to manufacture and stretches to fit the hands of a wide variety of the population. The seamless knit glove has approximately 5% nylon therein that enables a high degree of stretch. Further, since the seamless knit glove closely matches the hand of the user (whether the user is a child or an adult), the electrical linkage between
thumb pad 16 andindex pad 24 and the opposing inboard surface of the knit glove next to the finger is enhanced. Electrical connection is enhanced by this seamless glove. Since the seamless glove is made completely on a singular machine, is it not necessary to attachfinger sleeves palm region 52 or the posterior side region 60 (shown inFIG. 2 ). Preferably, the conductive yarn is only at the tip of the thumb and the tip of the index finger. -
FIG. 3 diagrammatically illustrates the anterior view of a seamless knit glove with a multiplicity of printed-on conductive ink pads. In this embodiment (different than the conductive thread embodiment), the seamless knit glove has printed thereon a multiplicity of conductive ink pads, three of which are identified aspads FIG. 3 (generally referred to collectively as “pads 70” herein), on the anterior portions of the seamless knit gloves. Pads 70 may cover the entire anterior region, such asregion 22 offinger sleeve 20, or a portion of the anterior region as noted onthumb sleeve 12. Entire sleeves may be unpainted by the conductive ink pads such asfinger sleeves sleeves anterior palm region 52. - In the illustrated embodiment, an
image 74 is formed by the multiplicity of conductive ink pads which includespad 70 d (a peanut with a hat design). Therefore, decorative shapes may be printed on the glove. - The pads in one embodiment are about 17 to 20 pads per square inch. Each pad is about 1/4 inch in diameter. The pads may be randomized or be uniformly spaced on the anterior glove surface.
- With the 1/4 inch pads, about 17-20 per square inch, when the gloves are worn by the user, the seamless knit stretches to establish an electrical connection between the hand and finger of the user, the ink pads and the capacitive touch screen of the electronic device. The size of the pads and the number of pads per square inch is an important feature to establish the electrical connection. The seamless knit glove, knitted on a 7 gauge automatic machine, has stretch nylon automatically disbursed throughout the glove by the knitting process to allow an equal distribution of stretch throughout the glove. With the use of acrylic or other 7 gauge yarn along with stretch nylon, the glove becomes a form fitting unit tapered along the contours of the hand, fingers and wrist. It is this tapering and related stress on the yarn/stretch nylon blend that allows conductivity from the finger tips to interact with the conductive ink to activate a capacitive touch screen. The knit glove which is seamless knit glove allows significant stress between the hand and finger joints which a circular knit finger-linked glove would not permit or withstand without delinking.
- With the use of the multiplicity of conductive ink pads, the pads on the
palm side region 52 can spell out an alphabetic symbol A, B, C, D, etc. which uniquely identifies the glove and associates the glove to the user. In this manner, a user named “Betty” could buy a glove printed with a “B” on the palm side and thereby not lose track of her glove as compared with other similar gloves. This printed matter then becomes an advantage over other gloves not so marked. - The claims appended hereto are meant to cover modifications and changes within the spirit and scope of the present invention.
