- Figure 7 shows a palm or front elevation view of the glove 100 without the tongue 12 in place.
- Cuff side support parts 18 and 20 can be seen extending over at least a part of the palm area 9 of the glove 100.
- the cut away shape of cuff side support parts 18, 20 can be clearly seen.
- the cutaway profile shown is a curved shape with the cuff side support parts 18, 20 extending less far across the ventral part of the glove in the cuff region 50 where a user would insert a hand than in the wrist region 40.
- the curved cutaway profile of the cuff side support parts 18, 20 facilitates engagement with the central tongue support part 22 of the tongue 12 as will be further described below.
- Figure 8 shows an exploded palm view of the cuff design and tongue showing how and where the tongue 12 is located and secured in the assembled glove 100.

- Edges 34 and 35 of the cuff side support parts 18 and 20 respectively engage with respective edges of the tongue central support part 22 to urge the tongue 12 in a downward direction away from the palm area 9.
- the cuff side support edges 34, 35 are adapted to cooperatively engage with each side of the tongue central support part 22 because as can be seen in Figure 6, the central support part 22 has a greater thickness than tongue side support parts 19 and 21.
- the edges 34 and 35 engage with the tongue central support part 22 in a cam like manner, to urge the tongue 12 downwards as the glove is tightened.
- the tongue 12 may be provided with a loop 10, through which the wrist strap 4 may be passed in order to assist in retaining the wrist strap 4 and tongue 12 in position relative to each other.
- each of the left side support part 14 and right side support part 16 is provided with a loop 25a, 25b respectively for receiving the fastening wrist strap 4.
- the strap 4 can be secured to a first loop 25a and pass round the ventral portion of the glove 100, passing through a loop 10 provided in the tongue 12 and then continuing round to a second loop 25b.
- dorsal left side support part 14 and complimentary right side cuff support part 20 are shown and described as separate pieces, there is no particular reason why they could not be formed as a single component or piece. The same is true for the left side cuff support part 18 and the dorsal right side support part 16. This would result in two generally "C" shaped pieces providing wrist splint support.
