Definitions

  • This invention relates to insulated ski mitts shaped inherently in the substantial configuration of a closed fist whereby compression of the insulative material across the back of the hand of a wearer during use is minimized.
  • Conventional insulated ski mitts typically employ a mitt shell having substantially planar, opposed back and palm panels such that a mitt, upon assembly, is inherently in the substantial configuration of an open hand.
  • a wearer when gripping a ski pole with such a conventionally designed mitt, thus appreciably stretches the material of the back panel across the back of the hand and knuckles with attendant compression of the insulative material in those areas and resultant decrease in the thermal efficiency of the insulative material..
  • the present invention minimizes compression of the insulative material across the back of the hand and knuckles of a wearer during use, and hence does not substantially alter the thermal efficiency of the insulative material, by providing a ski mitt which is inherently in-the substantial configuration of a closed fist.
  • a wearer of a mitt according to the present invention does not significantly alter the inherent configuration of the mitt while gripping a ski pole.
  • the present invention provides an insulated ski mitt having a mitt shell with a wrist opening, said mitt shell being comprised of attached panels selectively dimensioned such that upon assembly of the panels of the mitt shell and insertion of an insulative material liner the mitt is inherently in the substantial configuration of a closed fist whereby compression of the insulative material across the back of the hand of a wearer during use of the mitt is minimized.
  • the present invention provides an insulated ski mitt having a mitt shell with a wrist t opening, said mitt shell including a back panel, palm/inner thumb panels, and, intermediate to and attached substantially to the respective outer edges of said back panel and palm/inner thumb panels, a gusset panel, which includes an outer thumb section, and which extends substantially peripherally about the mitt shell, said panels being dimensioned such that upon assembly of the mitt shell and insertion of an insulative material liner the mitt is inherently in the substantial configuration of a closed fist whereby compression of the insulative material across the back of the band of a wearer during use of the mitt is minimized.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates an embodiment of a ski mitt in its substantially as-manufactured closed fist configuration
  • Fig. 2 which illustrates the same embodiment in an artificially open configuration
  • the ski mitt 10 includes a back panel 12, a palm/inner thumb panel 14, a thumb insert panel 16, a gusset panel portion 18 which includes an outer thumb section, a fingertip gusset panel portion 20, and an ulnar gusset panel portion 22, the various panels being defined by the stippled lines.
  • the embodiment illustrated in Fig. 1 and 2 additionally includes a number of features which are conventional in the prior art and which are useful in association with, but not essential to, the present invention.
  • the embodiment illustrated includes a border 24 attached circum- fercntially to the panel free edges about the wrist opening, a knitted wristlet 26 interiorly attached circumferentially in association with the border 24, a tucked wrist 28 formed by attaching a band of elastic material (not shown) to the inside of the mitt shell circumferentially about a wrist portion, and a D-ring 30 adapted for engagement with a counterpart snap in a complementary mitt (not shown) for the other hand.
  • the bulky appearance of the embodiment illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 is primarily attributable to the insulative material liner (not shown) contained within the mitt shell.
  • the insulative material liner can be made of any number of well known materials and can be in the form, by way of example only, of a down-filled, fabric bodied inner mitt. While down seems to have particular appeal to skiers due undoubtedly to its widely publicized insulative properties, down does display a tendency to detrimentally migrate within linings.
  • insulative material in the form of batting is preferred since insulative material migration is minimal and since batting of different thicknesses can be .employed in different areas of the liner.
  • the thickness of the insulative material batting can be reduced in the palm and inner thumb areas, as compared to the back of the hand and thumb, since heat loss from the palm and inner thumb areas occurs at a relatively lower rate and since ski pole feel and control is generally enhanced as the insulative material thickness in the ski pole gripping palm and inner thumb areas decreases.
  • Figs. 3a through 3f are patterns of the component panels of a ski mitt of the embodiment illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, the solid, peripheral lines represent the nominal cutting lines, whereas the lines appearing as dots-and-dashes represent actual sewing lines for attachment of the respective panels, as will subsequently be defined in greater detail. It should be appreciated however that the actual peripheral cutting lines are relatively unimportant, so long as the component panels are cut of sufficient size to overlap the sewing lines, since further trimming of excess material from the mitt shell can be effected, if necessary or desired, following assembly.
  • the relative sizes of the panels can be proportioned to produce mitts of different hand sizes.
  • the component panels are typically sewed together while inside-out, and the mitt shell subsequently everted prior to inserting the insulative material liner and attending to the finalizing details such as attachment of the border 24 and/or knitted wristlet 26, etc.
  • the gusset panel portions 18, 20 and 22 are assembled to form a generally continuous gusset which ultimately will extend substantially peripherally about the mitt shell, and which includes an outer thumb section. This is accomplished by sewing gusset panel portion 18 to gusset panel portion 20 along the sewing lines between the points A-A 1 of Figs. 3b and 3c, and by sewing gusset panel portion 20 to gusset panel portion 22 along the sewing lines between the points B-B 1 of Fi.gs. 3c and 3e.
  • the thumb insert panel 16 is next sewed to the outer thumb section of gusset panel portion 18 along the sewing lines between the points C-C 1 of Figs. 3f and 3b,
  • the palm/inner thumb panel 14 is then sewed to the thumb insert panel 16 along the sewing lines between the points D-D 2 of Figs. 3d and 3f; next to gusset panel portion 18 along the sewing lines between the points E-E 1 of Figs. 3d and 3b; thereafter to fingertip gusset panel portion 20 along the sewing lines between the points F-F 1 of Figs. 3d and 3c; and finally to ulnar gusset panel portion 22 along the sewing lines between the points G-G 1 of Figs. 3d and 3e.
  • the basic mitt shell is then completed by sewing the hack panel 12 to the ulnar gusset panel portion 22 along the wewing lines between the points J-J 1 of Figs. 3a and 3c; to the fingertip gusset panel portion 20 along the sewing lines between the points H-H 1 of Figs. 3a and 3c; and finally to the gusset panel portion 18 along the sewing lines between the points I-I 1 of Figs. 3a and 3b.
  • the thus assembled mitt shell is totally enclosed except for a wrist opening defined circumferentially by the free wrist panel edges, and any excess panel material can be trimmed, if necessary or desired.
  • a band of elastic material in stretched condition, is sewed circumferentially about the wrist portion of the mitt shell prior to eversion.
  • the insulative material liner can now be inserted through the wrist opening of the everted mitt shell and, if desired, be attached circumferentially about the wrist openin in association with a border 24 and/or knitted wristlet 26 which, as stated previously, are simply features conventional to the prior art.
  • leather due to its durability, is the preferred material for the component panels of the mitt shell, and, if desired, different weights of leather can be used for different panels. For example, a heavier weight of leather can be employed for the palm/inner thumb panel 14 and thumb insert panel 16 to provide increased durability in the ski pole gripping areas.
  • Particularly attractive mitts can be manufactured by employing complementary or contrasting colors of leather for various of the panels.
  • the use of one color of leather for each of the gusset panel portions 18, 20 and 22 which complements or contrasts with the color or colors of leather used for the remaining panels provides a mitt having an aesthetically attractive substantially peripheral stripe.
  • Materials other than leather can also be used to form the component panels, for example nylon or other synthetic materials, but generally are not as durable as leather, and hence are generally not as desirable.
  • Panels can also be interattached by means other than sewing, e.g. by gluing, heat bonding or the like, dependant upon the material, although sewing is generally preferred for purposes of durability.
