There may be cases where a plurality of various properties such as ultraviolet shielding property and design property are required at the same time. However, as described above, when the members that occupy the majority of the back and palm are made of a single material, it is difficult to simultaneously satisfy a plurality of the above characteristics.

On the other hand, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-188129,
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-188130 proposes a golf glove in which a back part and a palm part are formed by separate members. In the golf gloves proposed in these proposals, the material applied to the back of the hand and the palm of the hand can be made different materials positively, so that the characteristics of the back of hand and the hand of the palm can be adjusted to different characteristics suitable for each. it can.

However, golf gloves are required to have the various characteristics described above. For example, even in the same palm portion, it is required that a portion covering a finger and the other portion have exactly the same characteristics. Not exclusively. That is, the portion of the palm that covers the finger and the other portion not only have different shape characteristics, but also have different bending characteristics and load applied during use, so that the required characteristics naturally differ. Therefore, simply changing the material in the large unit of the back and palm may not be able to fully satisfy the required characteristics comprehensively.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a golf glove capable of further improving overall characteristics by partially changing characteristics of a palm. is there.

[0007]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, a back portion covering the back side of the hand, a palm portion covering the palm side, and a thumb portion covering the thumb are formed of different members. A fingertip part constituting at least a part of a part of the palm part covering the finger;
The glove for golf is characterized in that a main body part constituting a part other than the fingertip part is formed by a separate member.

What is most notable in the present invention is that the back, palm and thumb are formed by separate members, and the palm is formed by separate members of the fingertip and body.

The fingertips of the palm need not necessarily be provided corresponding to all the parts of the palm that cover the finger.
It may be provided corresponding to only a part thereof. That is, the whole of the finger from the root portion to the tip may be the fingertip portion, or the root portion may be left in the main body portion and the middle to the tip of the finger may be the fingertip portion. The fingertips may be provided for all fingers, or may be provided only for some fingers.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described. In the present invention, the palm portion is formed of separate members, the fingertip portion and the main body portion. Therefore, the characteristics of the fingertip and the main body can be positively different.

For example, by increasing the flexibility of the fingertip portion compared to the main body portion, it is possible to improve the fit of the fingertip portion when wearing golf gloves and holding the golf club. In addition, by increasing the rigidity of the main body portion more than the fingertip portion, it is possible to increase the durability of the main body portion to which a particularly large load is applied. Also, by changing the appearance characteristics of the fingertip portion and the body portion, the design can be improved. In addition, the fingertip portion and the body portion may have different characteristics such as heat retention and air permeability.

As described above, in the golf glove of the present invention, by forming the palm portion of the fingertip portion and the main body portion as separate members, the entire palm portion does not have the same characteristics but is partially different. Can be characteristics. Therefore, as described above, various combinations of obtained characteristics can be selected, and overall characteristics can be improved.

In the present invention, not only in the palm,
As described above, the back part and the thumb part are also formed by separate members. Therefore, the properties of these materials can be changed as necessary, and the overall properties of the golf glove can be improved.

When the required characteristics required for the back, thumb, fingertip, and main body can be satisfied by the same material, it is of course possible to use the same material for the portion.

Next, as in the second aspect of the present invention, it is preferable that the fingertip portion is configured to cover at least a portion corresponding to a portion earlier than the second joint of the finger. In this case, it is possible to positively change the characteristics of a portion of the palm portion, particularly, a portion of the palm portion ahead of the second joint. So, for example,
By making the material of the fingertip portion a material more flexible than the main body portion, the fit when the finger is bent can be further improved.

Also, as in the third aspect of the present invention, it is preferable that the fingertip is made of a material having a higher elongation than the main body. In this case, the flexibility of the fingertip can be more easily increased than that of the main body. Further, the improvement of the elongation can be realized by various methods such as changing the material of the material and changing the thickness.

It is preferable that the fingertip is made of a material having a thickness smaller than that of the main body. In this case, it is possible to easily improve the elongation rate and the flexibility of the material of the fingertip.

It is preferable that the fingertip and the main body have different colors. In this case, the fingertip portion and the main body portion can be clearly distinguished from the appearance, and the design can be improved.

The fingertip may be made of a material having the same characteristics as the back of the hand. In other words, the same material can be used for the fingertip portions when the same characteristics as the back portion are required.

It is preferable that the thumb part is arranged on the boundary line on the thumb side between the back part and the palm part. In this case, since the thumb part is disposed so as to be sandwiched between the back part and the palm part, a boundary line where the back part and the palm part directly contact can be shortened. Therefore, in this case, an increase in the number of sewing sites when the number of members is increased can be suppressed to a minimum.

Further, as in the invention of claim 8, it is preferable that each member constituting the golf glove is made of artificial leather. As the members constituting the golf glove, natural leather, artificial leather or synthetic leather can be used. Among them, in particular, artificial leather can artificially impart various properties relatively easily, and can easily cope with the partial property change described above.

As shown in FIG. 4, a member having a shape covering the entire thumb is used as in the prior art, as shown in FIG.
In this example, six hooks 51 to 56 are used to connect the side portions of the fingers of the back part 2 and the palm part 3.

Here, the materials constituting each member will be described. In the present embodiment, the back part 2, the fingertip part 32, and the hook parts 51 to 55 are formed using a first material. The main body 31 and the thumb 4 were formed using a second material.
The first material and the second material are the same kind of artificial leather, but have different characteristics. In particular,
The first material is an artificial leather having a property of being thinner, softer, and having a higher elongation than the second material. Further, the second material has higher rigidity than the first material and is excellent in durability. The first material and the second material have different colors.

Next, the above members are connected as follows. Note that the order of connection can of course be changed. First,
The back part 2 and the palm part 3 are separated from each other by
It connects by sewing through -56. The ends 741 and 742 on the little finger side are sewn together. Further, the end portions 771, 772 and 751, 752 on the thumb side are sewn at sewing portions 77, 75, respectively.

Further, the thumb part 4 is an end part 41 shown in FIG.
And 42 are stitched together. And its end 782
And 762 are sewn to the end 781 of the back part 2 and the end 761 of the palm 3 at sewing portions 78 and 76 (FIG. 1), respectively. As a result, the thumb portion 4 is arranged on the boundary line on the thumb side between the back portion 2 and the palm portion 3.

The sewing parts 18 and 19 in FIG.
A rubber member for appropriately tightening the wrist portion is sewn inside. Although not shown, a stopper for stopping the opening 20 of the back part 2 is sewn to the golf glove 1 of the present embodiment in the same manner as in the related art.

Next, the operation and effect of this embodiment will be described. In the golf glove 1 of the present embodiment, the palm part 3 is formed by separate members of a fingertip part 32 and a main body part 31. And
The fingertip 32 is made of a first material, while the body 31
Was composed of the second material. Therefore, the characteristics of the fingertip portion 32 and the main body portion 31 can be made positively different.

That is, as described above, the first material constituting the fingertip portion 32 is thinner, softer, and has a higher elongation than the second material. On the other hand, the second material constituting the main body 31 has higher rigidity and higher durability than the first material. Therefore, when the golf glove 1 of the present example is worn and the golf club is grasped, the fit of the fingertip can be made very good due to the characteristics of the first material. Loaded main body 31

Further, in the present embodiment, the fingertip portion 32 is configured to cover a portion corresponding to a portion earlier than the second joint of the finger. For this reason, it is possible to particularly improve the fit of the portion on the tip side than the second joint which is bent deeply when grasping the golf club.

In this embodiment, a second material is used for the thumb portion 4 where durability is important as in the case of the main body portion 31, and a hand back portion 2 where importance is given to fitting and the like as in the case of the fingertip portion 32.
The first material which is soft and has a high elongation is used for the nibs and the hook portions 51-56. Therefore, the overall fit and durability of the golf glove 1 can be improved more than before.

In this embodiment, the colors of the first material and the second material are different. Thereby, golf glove 1
In, not only the back part 2 and the main body part 31 can be set to different colors, but also the main body part 31 and the fingertip part 32 can be set to different colors within the same palm part 3. Therefore,
The design can be improved more than before.

As described above, in the golf glove 1 of this embodiment, the palm portion 3 is formed by the separate members of the fingertip portion 32 and the main body portion 31 so that the entire palm portion 3 does not have the same characteristics. Partially different characteristics can be achieved. Therefore, the golf glove 1 is different from the conventional golf glove in which the entire palm 3 is integrally formed of one kind of material.
Overall characteristics can be improved.
