Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims priority to Korean Patent
Application No. 20-2016-0006537, filed on Nov. 9, 2016 in the
Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire disclosure of which
is incorporated herein by reference.
BACKGROUND
1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present disclosure relates to a silicone scrub brush
glove for dishwashing and more particularly to a silicone scrub
brush glove for dishwashing which is entirely made of silicone and
has a protrusion-type scrub brush which is made of silicone and
integrated with the glove into a single piece on the area of the
palm and the bottom surface of the fingers.
2. Description of the Background Art
[0003] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an existing rubber glove as
seen from the back of the hand side. In general, during
dishwashing, rubber gloves made of rubber to be waterproof as
illustrated in FIG. 1 are used in order to protect the hands from
cold water or detergents.
[0004] However, it is not easy to wear such rubber gloves because
they don't have high elasticity. In addition, when a user wears
such rubber gloves, they adhere tightly to the skin of the user,
thereby prohibiting ventilation and collecting sweat or moisture,
giving out an unpleasant smell or bring about skin disorders such
as eczema, which explains their problems.
[0005] When the user gets sweat or moisture after wearing such
rubber gloves, it is difficult to take off the rubber gloves
because the inner surface of the rubber gloves adheres to the skin
of the user and is not easily peeled off. For storing such rubber
gloves, it is usual for the user to hang such rubber gloves by
clamping them with clothespins or lay them around the sink.
However, in such a case, the user can feel unpleasant when they
wear such rubber gloves again because the inner part of the rubber
gloves is not adequately dried easily.
[0006] In addition, it is difficult to wash oily pots or dishes
with hot water even user wears such rubber gloves for dishwashing
because the rubber gloves lack heat resistance and transfer heat
rapidly, although such oily pots or dishes lose oil easily when
they are washed with hot water.
[0007] When dishwashing, the user of such rubber gloves
simultaneously uses a scrub brush made of sponge or felt, in which
micropores are formed to produce detergent lather easily.
[0008] The user feels awkward in washing their kitchenware when
they wear such rubber gloves holding the kitchenware with one hand
and picking up and putting down the scrub brush infiltrated with a
detergent with the other hand. The user is more likely to drop the
kitchenware, especially when the kitchenware has a slippery
surface, when the rubber glove is smeared with the detergent.
Moreover, it is hard to wash any narrow or angled area of dishes
with the scrub brush because such scrub brush is produced in a size
that one can grab with their hand.
[0009] Although rubber gloves have been developed for which a
sponge and others that can act as a scrub brush is attached to the
area of the palm of existing rubber gloves, they involve a problem
that the life of the rubber glove is reduced due to the poor
durability of such sponge and others that act as a scrub brush.
[0010] Furthermore, because the scrub brush made of sponge or felt
has micropores, into which food scraps are easily stuck and from
which the scraps don't easily come out when the scrub brush is used
for dishwashing. In addition, bacteria easily propagate on such a
scrub brush because the scrub brush is usually stored wet at room
temperature. Such a scrub brush is also likely to be damaged when
they are simmered in boiling water for sterilization because they
are vulnerable to heat while they can leave any chemical on washed
kitchenware when they are disinfected in a chemical agent such as
bleach.

SUMMARY
[0012] To resolve or improve the problems of existing rubber gloves
as earlier described, the present disclosure provides the silicone
scrub brush glove for dishwashing which is entirely made of
silicone and has the protrusion-type scrub brush which is made of
silicone and integrated with the glove into a single piece on the
area of the palm and the bottom surface of the fingers.
[0013] The silicone scrub brush glove of the present disclosure
includes:
a glove part 10 which has the shape of an ordinary rubber glove for
dishwashing; and the protrusion-type scrub brush 20 integrated with
the glove into a single piece on the area of the palm and the
bottom surface of the fingers of the glove part, wherein the glove
part 10 and the protrusion-type scrub brush 20 are entirely made of
silicone; a plurality of protrusions 30 of the protrusion-type
scrub brush 20 protrude from the outer surface of the palm and the
bottom surface side of the fingers of the glove part 10 and have
the shape of a cylinder; and the cylindrical protrusion 30 has in
the longitudinal direction a plurality of linear protruding parts
31 which are fine and long like a line.
[0014] The cylindrical protrusion 32 formed on the palm area of the
glove part 10 is harder than the cylindrical protrusion 33 formed
on the bottom surface of the fingers.
[0015] In addition, the cylindrical protrusion 32 formed on the
palm area of the glove part 10 has a larger height than that of the
cylindrical protrusion 33 formed on the bottom surface of the
fingers.
[0016] The cylindrical protrusion 32, 33 formed on the palm area of
the glove part and the bottom surface of the fingers has a height
of 4 to 6 mm and 2 to 3 mm, respectively, while the cylindrical
protrusions 32, 33 have a diameter of 0.8 to 1.2 mm.
[0017] The inner surface of the glove part 10 has a plurality of
hemispheric protrusions 40 on a surface which comes into contact
with the upper surface of the fingers and the back of the hand.
[0018] The inner surface of the glove part 10 additionally has the
hemispheric protrusions 40 on a surface which comes into contact
with bottom surface of the fingers and the palm.
[0019] The glove part 10 has a hole 50 and/or a hook 60 in the top
end portion which comes into contact with the upper surface of the
forearm.
[0020] Silicone is known for its softness, high elasticity and heat
resistance. The silicone scrub brush glove for dishwashing provided
by the present disclosure is convenient to wear because the whole
of the glove and the protrusion-type scrub brush integrated with
the glove into a single piece are made of silicone, does not
scratch coated pots or frypans on the surface during dishwashing,
is easy to wash dishes with hot water and can be sterilized at high
temperature in boiling water or a microwave oven, which explains
its advantageous effects.
[0021] The inner surface of the silicone scrub brush glove
according to the present disclosure has the hemispheric
protrusions, which keeps the glove for dishwashing from adhering to
the skin, holds air inside the glove for dishwashing, thereby
collecting less moisture and making the glove being taken off more
easily, and dries the inside of the glove for dishwashing easily
while the glove is stored.
[0022] The silicone scrub brush glove for dishwashing according to
the present disclosure has an advantageous effect of convenient
dishwashing without the need of separately using a scrub brush in
dishwashing by having the glove for dishwashing and the
protrusion-type scrub brush integrated with each other into a
single piece.
[0023] The silicone scrub brush glove for dishwashing according to
the present disclosure has the protrusion-type scrub brush formed
not only on the palm but on the bottom surface of the fingers,
thereby having advantageous effects of keeping the glove for
dishwashing, even when the glove is smeared with a detergent, from
sliding on the slippery surface of kitchenware and of easily
washing even a narrow or angled area of dishes to which the hand
can hardly reach.
[0024] The scrub brush of the silicone scrub brush glove for
dishwashing according to the present disclosure is formed to be
protrusion-type while the protrusion has the linear protruding
parts 31 which are fine and long like a line in the longitudinal
direction, wherein the protrusion has an advantageous effect of
adequately producing detergent lather compared with a protrusion
without the linear protruding parts 31 by holding the detergent for
a long period between the outer surface of the protrusion and the
linear protruding parts 31.
[0025] Because the scrub brush of the silicone scrub brush glove
for dishwashing according to the present disclosure is formed to be
protrusion-type without micropores, the scrub brush glove has
advantageous effects of not easily holding food scraps during
dishwashing, easily letting any food scraps come out even when such
scraps are stuck and preventing bacteria from propagating due to
easy drying after dishwashing.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0026] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an existing rubber glove as
seen from the back of the hand side;
[0027] FIG. 2 is a top view of the silicone scrub brush glove
according to the present disclosure as seen from the palm side;
and
[0028] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the silicone scrub brush
glove according to the present disclosure as seen from the back
side.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS
[0029] The present disclosure will be described more fully
hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawing.
[0030] FIG. 2 is a top view of the silicone scrub brush glove
according to the present disclosure as seen from the palm side and
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the silicone scrub brush glove
according to the present disclosure as seen from the back of the
hand side.
[0031] The silicone scrub brush glove for dishwashing 100 according
to the present disclosure includes the glove part 10 which has the
shape of an ordinary rubber glove for dishwashing and the
protrusion-type scrub brush 20 integrated with the glove into a
single piece on the area of the palm and the bottom surface of the
fingers of the glove part, wherein the glove part 10 and the
protrusion-type scrub brush 20 are entirely made of silicone.
[0032] The protrusions 30 of the protrusion-type scrub brush 20
protrude from the outer surface of the palm and the bottom surface
side of the fingers of the glove part 10 and have the shape of a
cylinder while the cylindrical protrusion 30 has the linear
protruding parts 31 (not illustrated) which are fine and long like
a line in the longitudinal direction, which produces adequate
detergent lather compared with a protrusion without the linear
protruding parts 31 by holding the detergent for a long period
between the outer surface of the protrusion 30 and the linear
protruding parts 31, thereby saving detergent and performing
dishwashing effectively.
[0033] The cylindrical protrusion 32 formed on the palm area of the
glove part 10 can be harder than the cylindrical protrusion 33
formed on the bottom surface of the fingers and have a larger
height.
[0034] It is desirable that the cylindrical protrusion 32, 33
formed on the palm area of the glove part and the bottom surface of
the fingers has a height of 4 to 6 mm and 2 to 3 mm, respectively,
while the cylindrical protrusions 32, 33 have a diameter of 0.8 to
1.2 mm.
[0035] When the cylindrical protrusion 32, 33 has a height smaller
than the said height, the protrusion falls short of the expected
performance of the scrub brush in that the protrusion 32, 33 has an
excessively small portion that protrudes from the outer surface of
the glove 10 when used. In contrast, when they have a height larger
than the said height, the protrusion 32, 33 tilts to a side when
used, which also reduces the performance of the scrub brush. A
diameter of the cylindrical protrusion 32, 33 smaller than 0.8 mm
is excessively fine while one larger than 1.2 mm is excessively
coarse, which is not desirable for the due performance of the scrub
brush.
[0036] The glove part 10 can have on the inner surface the
hemispheric protrusions 40. The hemispheric protrusions 40 can be
formed on the surface which comes into contact with the upper
surface of the fingers and the back of the hand and additionally on
the surface which comes into contact with the bottom surface of the
fingers and the palm. Accordingly, the hemispheric protrusions can
keep the glove for dishwashing 100 from adhering to the skin, hold
air inside the glove for dishwashing, thereby collecting less
moisture and making the glove being taken off more easily, and dry
the inside of the glove for dishwashing 100 easily while the glove
is stored.
[0037] To resolve the problem of inconvenience in storing existing
rubber glove, the hole 50 and/or the hook 60 can be formed in the
glove part 10 in the top end portion which comes into contact with
the upper surface of the forearm and the user can hang the glove
for dishwashing 100 up on a hanger and others around the sink by
using the hole 50 or the hook 60.
[0038] The glove for dishwashing has been described thus far.
However, the silicone scrub brush glove for dishwashing according
to the present disclosure can be used in laundry, bathroom cleaning
and others.
