BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a safety glove, and more particularly, to a safety glove that is provided with an inner shell, an outer shell, and a plurality of safety elements formed on a palm portion thereof, such that even though a wearer's hand comes in contact with a sharp object during the work, the formation of the inner shell and the plurality of safety elements enables the wearer's hand to be protected from the danger or injury, and even when the glove is worn by a wearer, the fingers of the wearer are relatively free in their motion, thereby making it convenient in use. [0003] 2. Background of the Related Art [0004] In general, safety for people engaged in all kinds of industrial sites should be primarily considered while they are working, and thus, safety devices like a helmet for protecting a wearer's head and a safety glove for protecting a wearer's hand have been mostly used. Especially, the safety glove is necessarily provided when the industrial job activities are done by using the wearer's hand. [0005] That is to say, while pressing is conducted or the job activity is conducted by using a rotary body like a cutting machine, a grinder, a rotary saw, and so on, the safety glove is generally used for protecting the wearer's hand from various dangers, and such the safety glove is made of fabric like cotton cloth, which is popular to the workmen engaged in various industrial sites, because they can feel a high wearing sense and purchase the safety glove at relatively low costs. [0006] However, since most of the conventional safety glove is made of fabric, it is difficult to perfectly protect a workman's hand or fingers from a sharp object during the working, and even though it is made of leather having a high tension strength, it is also difficult to completely protect the workman's hand from a sharp rotary body or fixed body like a blade or a cutter. Thus, several safety gloves are worn, or a substantially thick safety glove is worn. In this case, wearer's fingers are inconvenient to be free in their motion, which makes the working efficiency greatly low. [0007] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a safety glove for a workman according to one of the prior arts, FIG. 2 is a separate view showing one of the finger portions of the safety glove for a workman in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a safety glove for use in industrial job activities according to another prior art. [0008] As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional safety glove for a workman includes: an outer shell 2 adapted to come in direct contact with an object or tool, the outer shell being made of cotton fabric in such a manner as to be reinforced and coated on the inside thereof; an inner shell 3 adapted to come in direct contact with a workman's hand and attached to the inside of the outer shell 2, the inner shell 3 being made of a cotton fabric in such a manner as to be reinforced and coated on the contacted face with the outer shell 2; and a coil spring 5 adapted to be inserted into the space between the outer shell 2 and the inner shell 3 of a finger portion 4 in such a manner as to be fixedly sewn with the outer shell 2 and the inner shell 3. [0009] Under the structure of the safety glove as described above, the coil spring 5, as shown in FIG. 2, serves momentarily to spring the finger at a time of abutting against the rotary body like a cutter, grinder, a rotary saw, and so on, thereby greatly minimizing the generation of the safety accidents, and moreover, since the wearer's fingers are not inconvenient at all in their motion after he or she wears the safety glove, the conventional safety glove has a higher working efficiency than existing safety gloves. [0010] By the way, the conventional safety glove has a serious defect in that the formation of the coil spring 5 for the finger portion enables only the fingers to be protected from unexpected dangers or injuries. [0011] On the other hand, a conventional safety glove 111 is, as shown in FIG. 3, provided with an inner shell 31 formed in the same shape as in the conventional practice, a iron net 41 formed on a palm portion thereof, and an outer shell 21 formed on the outside of the iron net 41, and under the above structure, a wearer's hand is protected only when it is placed under the iron net 41 and is not protected at any portion except the iron net 41. Also, because the portion of glove except the iron net 41 is generally made of a fabric or rubber material, it may be easily worn out or torn off, which increases the consumption costs for the safety glove. [0012] Therefore, there is a need for the development of a novel safety glove for perfectly protecting a wearer's hand from keen objects, for example, during he or she rescues persons and for removing torn iron plates or broken glass pieces made by traffic or other accidents, such that as the wearer's activities become rapid and free, the working period of time can be substantially reduced and thus, the damage caused by the accidents can be greatly decreased. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0013] Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems occurring in the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a safety glove that is provided with an inner shell made of a bulletproof film material, an outer shell made of a specific coated material for protecting sliding thereon and improving the gripping force thereof and a plurality of safety elements made of metals like iron or iron core, reinforced plastic, or bulletproof film, thereby doubly protecting a wearer's hand against his or her carelessness and external sources. [0014] It is another object of the present invention to provide a safety glove that has a back portion provided with an outer shell, an inner shell, and a plurality of safety elements, like a palm portion thereof, such that when a wearer's hand comes in contact with an object like a rotary body, it can be perfectly protected against the object, and that additionally has a material corresponding to that of the inner shell provided between the safety elements and the outer shell on the palm portion, which enables those who are engaged in the industrial fields to have a wider selecting range for the safety glove and also enables the wearer's hand to be sufficiently protected from safety accidents. [0015] It is still another object of the present invention to provide a safety glove that is flexible such that wearer's fingers can be free in their motion and with the formation of the inner shell, the outer shell and the plurality of safety elements, a wearer can be safely protected during working. [0016] It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a safety glove that can remarkably reduce the danger of injuries or life loss by keen objects like knives at a state where security guards, police officers, or soldiers stand face to face or suppress confused situations, thereby helping them rapidly suppress the opposite party. [0017] It is a further object of the present invention to provide a safety glove that can protect a wearer's hand from murderous weapons, thereby preventing him or her from being exposed to dangers of injuries and life losses at a time of taking the opposite party who possesses the murderous weapons by the wrist, which enables the wearer to positively defend himself or herself. [0018] To accomplish the above objects of the present invention, according to the present invention, there is provided a safety glove comprising a back portion for inserting the fingers of a wearer' hand therethrough, the back portion being made of fabric, a palm portion for inserting the fingers of the wearer's hand therethrough in such a manner as to be shaped to generally conform to the back portion and adapted to be joined with the back portion in such a manner as to be formed integrally with the back portion or sewn with the back portion, a wrist protecting portion formed at the lower ends of the back portion and the palm portion for supporting the wrist of the wearer's hand, when the wearer's fingers are inserted into the safety glove, and a fastening member connected at one side of the wrist protecting portion in such a manner as to be tightly connected to the other side thereof, wherein the palm portion includes: an inner shell formed on a portion being in direct contact with the palm portion of the wearer when the safety glove is worn, the inner shell being made of aramid-based glass fibers used as a bulletproof material, the aramid-based glass fibers becoming hard when heated and becoming broken when applied with an impact, or the inner shell being made of polyethylene fibers used as a main material of a bulletproof helmet, the polyethylene fibers becoming soft when heated and becoming deformed when applied with an impact; an outer shell formed on a portion being in direct contact with an object or tool, the outer shell being made of cotton fabric that is reinforced and coated at the inside thereof; and a plurality of safety elements fixedly attached between the inner shell and the outer shell at given intervals, the plurality of safety elements being made of metals like iron or iron core, reinforced plastic, or bulletproof film in such a manner as to be cut to a given size and shape.
