Abstract
A hockey glove having a thumb member comprising a top layer and a bottom layer affixed together at their respective peripheries for defining a cavity, a thumb pocket for receiving the thumb, and a rigid thumb skeleton enclosed in the cavity, the rigid thumb skeleton comprising a first section for covering at least partially the proximal phalanx of the thumb, a second section for covering at least partially the middle phalanx of the thumb and a third section for covering at least partially the distal phalanx of the thumb, wherein the second section comprises a proximal slot extending between first and second ends and a distal slot extending between first and second ends. The rigid thumb skeleton further comprises a proximal pin passing through the proximal slot of the second section and a distal pin passing through the distal slot of the second section. In use, when the second section pivots relative to the first section towards the closed position, the proximal pin abuts the second end of the proximal slot to prevent overbending of the thumb, and when the third section pivots relative to the second section towards the closed position, the distal pin abuts the first end of the distal slot to prevent overbending of the thumb; and when the second section pivots relative to the first section towards the open position, the proximal pin abuts the first end of the proximal slot to prevent hyperextension of the thumb, and when the third section pivots relative to the second section towards the open position, the distal pin abuts the second end of the distal slot to prevent hyperextension of the thumb.
