  • Publication number: 20230337771
    Abstract: An article has a coating film layer that covers the article. A plurality of recessed portions is formed on the coating film. The plurality of recessed portions is formed of: a plurality of hemispherical recessed portions having an approximately circular shape as viewed in a plan view; and a plurality of diaphragm provided recessed portions formed such that two or more hemispherical recessed portions are connected to each other in a partially overlapping manner and a connection boundary between the recessed portions is partitioned by a diaphragm. In a method for forming a coating film layer which covers a surface of an article and on which a plurality of recessed portions are formed, a liquid droplet of a solidifying agent is made to impinge on an unsolidified elastic material that adheres to the surface of the article so as to recess and solidify impinged portions thus forming the recessed portions.

  • Patent number: 9913502
    Abstract: A glove base and glove are provided, which release moisture outside from the entire glove when the glove is configured only of a fiber glove base or when a coating is provided to a surface of the glove base. The glove base of the present invention is made of fibers and has a hand shape. Water-absorbing properties of a first fiber type exposed mainly to an inside surface of the glove base are higher than water-absorbing properties of a second fiber type exposed mainly to outside surface of the glove base. The first fiber type absorbs and moves moisture on a surface of a hand inside the glove base toward the second fiber type, and the second fiber type then moves the moisture from the first fiber type mainly in a surface direction of the glove base.
