Abstract

The present invention relates to an improved glove structure, particularly designed for children and sports application, the glove comprising, at two side end portions whereof, zip-fasteners or the like closure means (2,3), which extend parallely to the longitudinal axis ofthe user hand, and arranged along two opposite end portions of each glove (1), which zip-fasteners may be opened by causing the sliders (4,8) whereof to slide in the direction therealong there are formed the tips of the fingers (9).

In particular the zip-fasteners (2 and 3) of the glove (1) extend from the rear end portion of the glove (1) up to two points corresponding to the portion (6) thereat the user hand palm will be housed.

Description

The present invention relates to an improved glove,particularly adapted for children and sports, which glove is provided,at each of the two sides whereof,in that portion extending from the hand palm to the wrist,with a zip-fastener or the like closure means effective to replace the conventional side seams.
As it is known the gloves for children and sports must have good fitting characteristics,in order to permit the user to quickly and easily put on the gloves themselves.
On the other hand, conventional gloves are rather difficult to be put on the user hands,because they are usually wadded and of poor flexibility,or because the user wrist is fitted with cumbersome bands or the like.
Accordingly,the task of the present invention is that of overcoming the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing a glove which may be fitted easily and quickly to the user hand.
According to one aspect of the present invention, the above task is achieved by an improved glove for children or sports,characterized in that it is provided,at the two side ends whereof,with zip-fasteners (2 and 3),which extend parallely to the longitudinal axis of the user hand, said zip-fasteners (2,3) being arranged along two opposite ends of each glove,and being effectiveto.be opened by causing the sliders (4 and 8) to slide in the direction therealong the finger tips (9) are formed.
Further characteristics and advantages of the improved glove according to the invention will become more apparent thereinafter from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment whereof, being illustrated in the figure of the accompanying drawing,where:

fig.l illustrates a front schematic view of the improved glove according to the invention, with a zip fastener open at one side whereof and with the zip-fastener arranged on the opposite side in a partially closed condition.

With reference to the accompanying drawing, the glove according to the present invention, indicated at l,is characterized in that it is provided,at two side ends,with zip- fasteners 2 and 3,which extend parallely to the longitudinal axis of the user hand.
The above-mentioned zip- fasteners 2 and 3 are moreover applied at two opposite ends of each glove 1 and are effective to be opened by causing the sliders 4 and 8 to slide in the direction therealong are oriented the tips of the fingers 9 of the glove l,which may be made of leatherjartificial leather,fabric and/or any other suitable material.
More specifically,the zip- fasteners 2 and 3 of the glove 1 extend from the rear end portion whereof up to two points located in the portion 6 thereat the hand palm will be housed,which may be easily introduced into and removed from the glove owing to the provision of the two mentioned zip-fastener pairs.
While the glove according to the present invention has been thereinabove disclosed with reference to a preferred embodiment thereof,it should be apparent that it is susceptible to many modifications and variations all whereof fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
In particular while the subject glove has been disclosed as applied,for example in sports applications,it may also be used in other applications,such as the long woman gloves which,as it is well known are very tight and require tedious operations to be fitted to the hand.
