Fin glove

Problem:

A swimmer, diver or snorkeler can only swim faster with the help of fins on their feet. With these fins on the feet, a higher buoyancy in the water is achieved. This also results in a better, horizontal swimming position on and in the water. However, this effect can be increased significantly if you also wear fin gloves on your hands.

Troubleshooting:

My invention was based on the idea of developing a fin glove that was equal to the fins on the feet. Between the glove fingers, movable and individual fin segments, adapted to the glove size, are sewn or welded. When cutting the lower part of the glove, the fin segments can also be taken into account, so that only the upper glove can be sewn or welded on, depending on the material. See drawings.

Application areas:

The fin glove is not only an excellent swimming aid, but also as a glove for other sports such as: goalkeeper gloves for football or handball. It can also be used for volleyball, basketball and bowling. The fin glove also offers significant advantages as a work glove in agriculture and forestry, as well as in gardening. The closed nature of the fin glove means that larger quantities can be grasped and these can be grasped safely. See drawing (Fig. 1).

Product description:

The fin glove is a sports and leisure item, but also a work glove, can be used in various areas. The fin glove with its integrated or individual fins offers a much greater water displacement when swimming and thus faster movement is possible in all types of swimming. This applies to both variants: once as a full glove and once as a glove with open finger caps. On the underside of the glove, the opening is snug against the forearm by a loop with a Velcro fastener so that the water does not inflate the glove. However, the fin glove can also be prevented from being sucked onto the palms of the hands by the fact that the entire upper material is perforated, so that the water can circulate and the glove is easy to put on and take off. The fin glove also offers a significant swimming aid thanks to its larger contact surface and keeps the hands and body better on the water surface.

The grip and slip resistance of the fin gloves as a sports equipment can be achieved by flocking or by welded-on studs on the inside of the glove, including the fingers and the fin segments. Safe grip by a goalkeeper or handball, basketball or volleyball player is guaranteed. When bowling, the ball can be guided much more safely thanks to the large contact surface of the palm. The open fingertips ensure that the fine sense of touch is not impaired. The fin gloves offer great advantages as work gloves, not only in terms of appearance, but also in handling. When harvesting apples, pears, potatoes, cucumbers, lemons, oranges, peaches, melons, small fruits such as plums, cherries, apricots, strawberries and other types of berries, the studded inside of the glove enables gentle and caring harvesting and also keeps hands clean.
