Complete Specification for the invention entitled: GOLF GLOVE.

The following statement is a full description of this invention including the best method of performing it known to me:t Golf Glove Background of the Invention Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a golf glove and more particularly to a golf glove which is made of natural or synthetic leather.

Description of the Prior Art e 00 Generally, it is widely used such a golf glove which is made of natural or synthetic leather.

o o S. However, such a golf glove has a drawback that a hand 0 0 0 or hands tend to slip on a golf club while playing golf. As the results, it is hard for a golf player 6a to swing a golf club smoothly and accurately.

A number of ideas have been proposed in order to prevent such a slip occurred between hands and a golf club. Such ideas are all the same. Namely, they try 004, to prevent such a slip by increasing a friction .n o between the surface of the golf glove and the golf club.

According to my research, it is found that such a slip occurrs between not only the surface of the golf glove and the golf club, but also the palm of the hand and the inside of the golf glove when the hand sweats. Such a slip between the palm of the hand and c -1 the golf glove gives a great influence to swing of the glof club and it sometimes prevents accurate swing of the glof club.

Summary of the Invention It is an object of the present invention to provide a golf glove which enables a golf player to swing accurately and to play golf smoothly by preventing a slip between the hand and the golf glove due to sweat.

In order to achieve the above object, a golf glove according to the present invention comprises a golve body made of leather, and a mesh-cloth mounted on the inside of the glove body, said mesh-cloth being positioned on at least a portion of the glove body corresponding to the palm of a hand and also portions of the glove body corresponding to the bulb of each of four fingers except the thumb.

Namely, the present invention arranges the meshcloth, which is hard to slip with sweat, is arranged at least on the inside of the portion of the glove body corresponding to the plan and the insides of the portions of the glove body corresponding to the bulb of each of the four fingers except the thumb so that slip between the golf glove and the hand may be prevented so as to avoid displacement of the hand position on the grip of a golf club. As the re;nlts, the present invention has an advantage of swinging the golf club smoothly and accurately so that the golf becomes stable.

The present invention has a further advantage that since the mesh-cloth absorbs sweat, the glove body made of leather becomes wet a little and thereby slip between the glove body and the grip of the golf club may be prevented.

Further advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the description of an embodiment with reference to the drawings.

Brief Description of the Drawings The drawings show an embodiment of a golf glove according to the present invention in which: Fig. 1 is a front view of a glof glove part t broken away, and Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line A A in Fig. 1.

Detailed Decription of the Embodiment As shown in Fig. 1, 1 shows a glove body of a golf glove made of leather, A mesh-cloth 4 such as russell cord is attached or mounted onto at least the inside of a portion 2 of the glove body corresponding to the plain of a hand and also the insides of the portions of the bulb of each of four fingers 1 except the thumb.

The mesh-cloth 4 is overlaid on the glove body 1 made of leather and sewn up together around the portions 2 corresponding to the plam when the glove body 1 is made.

However, it is possible to adhere the mesh-cloth 4 to the glove body 1. In this case, though pliability of the leather forming the glove body 1 is reduced, the object of the present invention may be achieved.

|i Normally, a portion of a golf glove corresponding to the plam and the portions corresponding to the bulbs of the four fingers except the thumb are frequently made with a single sheet of leather.

Therefore, the mesh-cloth 4 is formed in substantially the same shape as that of the leather sheet and when the glove body is made, the leather sheet may be sewn up together with the mesh-cloth at their peripheries so that the golf glove of the present invention may be easily manufactured.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the mesh-cloth 4 may be positioned or placed on whole the inside of the glove body 1. In such a case, a glove is first made with the mesh-cloth 4 and the glove is inserted into the inside of the glove body 1 made of leather and then these gloves may be sewn up at its portion corresponding to a wrist.

The mesh-cloth 4 may be selected from a group of ordinary synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon and the like, but it is preferable to use cotton or rayon which is rich in hygroscopicity, or synthetic fibers which have hydrophile property.

Further, although the glove body 1 is made of 1* i leather, it may use synthetic leather other than natural leather.
