Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a golf glove for suppressing twist of a thumb bag.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, when grasping a golf club, a user grasps a grip from below with four fingers other than the thumb, puts the thumb on the upper side of the grip, and twists both hands to the thumb side. I have to. At this time, golf gloves are often worn as anti-slip or to reduce the impact transmitted to the hand when hitting the ball,
Usually, right-handed people wear golf gloves on their left hands, and left-handed people wear golf gloves on their right hands.

[0003]

However, when actually swinging, there are cases where the player tries to fly the ball far and grips with excessive force. At this time, the thumb bag is twisted by strongly twisting both hands toward the thumb side (for example, the left thumb turns counterclockwise when viewed from the fingertip, the right thumb rotates clockwise), and the repetition causes the thumb bag to move in the fingertip direction. In some cases, a good grip feeling may not be obtained due to stretching or wrinkling.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to provide a golf glove capable of suppressing twisting of a thumb pouch when gripping a grip and maintaining a good fit.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, the present invention relates to a golf glove that suppresses twisting of a thumb bag, and a stitch (thread) formed by a part of a spiral is wound around the thumb bag. It is provided. The number of stitches is not limited to one, but may be a plurality of stitches as long as they constitute a part of a spiral as a whole and are wound around the thumb bag.

[0006] Here, the expression "consisting of a part of the spiral" means that the stitch does not have to go around the traveling direction of the spiral (around the thumb bag). In addition, wrapping around the thumb bag means that the thumb bag is not parallel to the direction of the thumb bag, but is provided so as to advance from the wrist side to the fingertip side while rotating around the thumb bag. You don't need to make more than one turn around.

[0007] By winding a stitch consisting of a part of the spiral around the thumb pouch, the resistance of the thumb pouch to twisting can be increased. In other words, when the thumb bag of the glove is twisted, each part thereof is pulled obliquely to the direction of the thumb bag, and if the pulling direction is followed, it becomes a spiral surrounding the thumb bag. At this time, since the amount of expansion and contraction in the direction along the stitch can be reduced in the portion where the stitch is provided, the thumb bag can be made hard to twist by adjusting the tension direction and the direction of the stitch to some extent.

[0008] Unlike the case where the entire thumb bag is not easily expanded and contracted, sufficient elasticity can be obtained in the direction different from the stitch direction, so that the ease of movement of the thumb is not impaired. can do.

[0009] If a patch is wound around the thumb bag using stitches, the rigidity of the patch as well as the stitches can be utilized to resist the oblique pulling force due to twisting. Less twisted. In addition, by receiving a part of the tensile force accompanying the torsion,
The thumb bag can be reinforced so as not to be broken by the tensile force caused by the twist.

The leg is lowered from the approximate center of the winding piece wound around the thumb bag to the wrist side, and the wrist side edge of the leg is sewn to the opening edge of the thumb bag on the palm side, and the winding piece and the leg are sewn. If a substantially T-shaped contact piece is formed from the part, a part of the oblique tensile force due to the twist is dispersed to the wrist side via the leg portion, so that the resistance against the twist can be further increased.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the golf glove according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the golf glove of the first embodiment of the present invention as viewed from the back side, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the golf glove as viewed from the palm side. Although the golf gloves shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are for the left hand, there is no substantial difference if the golf glove is for the right hand.

This golf glove has a thumb bag 1 of a glove body.
First and second stitches 2a, 2b, which are part of a spiral
Is provided so as to be wound around, and the contact piece 3 is attached to the thumb pouch 1 so as to be wound around by the first and second stitches 2a and 2b.

The glove body is similar to a normal golf glove,
Various fabrics such as leather and synthetic leather are used for the thumb bag 1, the back side 4
And it is cut into the palm side part 5, and these are sewn in a glove shape. The thumb pouch 1 itself is sewn into a bag shape, and the thumb sack attachment opening edge 6 of the back side 4 and the palm side 5 which are sewn to each other to form a bag as described later. Is sutured.

The back side portion 4 and the palm side portion 5 include a back portion 4
a or four finger portions 4b to 4e, 5b to 5e corresponding to fingers other than the thumb protrude from the fingertip side of the palm portion 5a or the palm portion 5a, except for the portion to which the thumb pouch 1 is attached and the wrist side. The perimeters are sewn together. In addition, thumb bag 1
Is attached to the back side portion 4 and the palm side portion 5 so as not to be stitched to each other to form a thumb bag attachment opening edge 6.

The little finger side of the index finger portions 4b and 5b of the back side portion 4 and the palm side portion 5, both sides of the middle finger portions 4c and 5c and the ring finger portions 4d and 5d, and the index finger sides of the little finger portions 4e and 5e are The suture is sewn with a gusset 7 corresponding to the thickness interposed, and a finger bag is formed so that a finger can be inserted. A cut 8 for attachment and detachment and a hook-and-loop fastener 9 for closing the cut 8 after wearing are provided on the wrist side of the back part 4a.

The patch 3 is made of various fabrics such as leather and synthetic leather, like the glove body, and has one end in a broad fan shape. This contact piece 3 is a thumb bag 1 at a wide portion on one end side.
Thumb bag 1 at the narrow end of the other end
Is wound around the thumb pouch 1 while being twisted about 90 ° counterclockwise from the base side toward the fingertip side so as to cover the belly portion of the thumb pouch. The first and second stitches 2a and 2b on both sides (or both edges) of the stitch for attaching the patch 3 to the thumb bag 1 in the longitudinal direction of the patch 3 are counterclockwise toward the fingertip. It is wrapped around the thumb bag 1 to form a part of the spiral.

Here, the procedure for attaching the contact piece 3 to the glove body may be any procedure, but using as common a stitch as possible for attaching the contact piece 3 and suturing the glove body. It is better to save suturing. For example,
1 and 2, the stitch for attaching the patch 3 is the same as the stitch for suturing the glove body except for the first stitch 2a and the wrist-side portion of the second stitch 2b. In this case, by attaching the contact piece 3 to the thumb pouch 1 in advance at the wrist side portion of the first stitch 2a and the second stitch 2b, sewing can be performed in the same manner as ordinary golf gloves.

Next, the situation when the golf glove is worn and the grip is grasped will be described. When grasping the grip of the golf club, the thumbs of both hands are attached to the upper side of the grips and the hands are twisted to the thumb side, so that the left thumb is subjected to a counterclockwise twisting force as viewed from the fingertip. When actually swinging, the force of twisting the thumb is increased to try to grip the grip more strongly.

When a force for twisting the left thumb in a counterclockwise direction is applied, a force is applied around the thumb bag 1 of the worn golf glove in a direction oblique to the direction of the thumb bag 1. By following the direction of the pulling force, a spiral shape is formed around the thumb pouch 1, and the thumb pouch 1 resists the spiral pulling force, so that the thumb pouch 1 resists twisting. Note that the thumb pouch 1 is compressed in a direction orthogonal to the direction of the tensile force, but wrinkles are formed in the thumb pouch 1 due to this compression. Resist twisting.

When a force for twisting the thumb bag 1 is applied, the fabric of the thumb bag 1 is stretched by the spiral tensile force, and as a result,
The thumb bag 1 is twisted. However, since the first and second stitches 2a and 2b are provided so as to be wound around the thumb bag 1 of the golf glove of the present embodiment, the fabric of the thumb bag 1 is along the direction of the stitches 2a and 2b. It is difficult to expand and contract in the direction, and the thumb bag 1 is hard to twist.

Further, the contact piece 3 is attached so as to wind around the thumb pouch 1, and the contact piece 3 bears a part of the helical tensile force. Therefore, the resistance of the thumb pouch 1 against twisting is increased. ing. At this time, since the tensile force acting on the cloth of the thumb pouch 1 and the first and second stitches 2a and 2b is reduced, the cloth of the thumb pouch 1 is not easily torn by twisting. In addition, since the base side (wrist side) of the contact piece 3 is wide, the tensile force acting on the contact piece 3 is distributed to the wrist side of the glove body and is smoothly transmitted to the glove body.

As described above, the resistance of the thumb pouch 1 against twisting is increased by the first and second stitches 2a and 2b and the abutment piece 3, so that the thumb pouch 1 can be gripped strongly even when swinging. The thumb is hard to twist.

The first and second stitches 2a and 2b and the contact piece 3 are provided so as to be rolled up from the base side of the thumb pouch 1 toward the belly on the fingertip side. Therefore, when the thumb is bent, the first and second stitches 2a, 2a
The b and the pad 3 are not pulled, and the thumb is not difficult to move.

Next, a golf glove according to a second embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 will be described. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the golf glove according to the second embodiment of the present invention when viewed from the back side, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view when viewed from the palm side thereof. The glove body of this golf glove is the same as that of the first embodiment, but the pad 10 has a substantially T-shape including a winding piece 11 and a leg 12.

The wrapping piece 11 forms a part of a spiral while making about one turn in the counterclockwise direction from the back side at the base of the thumb bag 1 toward the fingertip side. From substantially the center (palm side) of the winding piece 11, the leg portion 12 descends toward the wrist side, and the end edge thereof is sewn to the opening edge of the thumb bag, and both of them have a substantially T-shaped contact piece. 10.

In the stitch for attaching the contact piece 10 to the thumb pouch 1, the first stitch 1 on the fingertip side of the winding piece 11 is used.
3a, a second stitch 13b continuous from the palm side to the palm side of the leg portion 12 at the base side of the winding piece 11, and a second stitch 13b continuous from the back side to the back side of the leg portion 12 at the base side of the winding piece 11 The formed third stitch 13c constitutes a part of a spiral wound around the thumb bag 1 as a whole.

When a twisting force is applied to the thumb bag 1, the tensile force acting on the fingertip-side contact piece 10 (the palm-side portion of the wrapping piece 11) is applied to the back side portion of the wrapping piece 11 and the leg 12. Therefore, the contact piece 10 on the fingertip side is firmly supported, and resistance to twisting of the thumb pouch 1 increases. In addition, since a part of the tensile force acting on the first stitch 13a and the second stitch 13b is transmitted to the third stitch 13c via the patch 10, the stitches 13a, 13b,
The tensile force near 13c is dispersed on the base side, so that the entire thumb pouch 1 is not twisted.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately modified within the scope of the present invention. For example, the patch may be attached to the back side of the thumb bag instead of the front side. If a stitch forming a part of a spiral is provided so as to wind around the thumb bag, the patch need not be attached. The abutting piece is not limited to one having no leg, one having one leg formed thereon, and may be one having a plurality of legs formed.

Further, the stitch and the backing piece may be not only continuous from the base side of the thumb pouch toward the fingertip side, but may be discontinued in the middle. Further, if these form a spiral as a whole, not only about 90 ° or about one turn around the thumb bag, but also about 90 ° or a plurality of turns may be wrapped around the thumb pouch. It may be.

[0030]

As is apparent from the above description, in the golf glove of the present invention, since the stitch and the abutment which are wrapped around the thumb bag and constitute a part of the spiral are provided, the ease of movement of the thumb is not impaired. , The resistance to twisting of the thumb bag can be increased. As a result, by wearing this golf glove, the thumb pouch is less likely to twist when swinging a golf club.
