TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a baseball glove.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The applicant has previously constructed, as a baseball glove, a thumb bag into which a thumb is inserted into a double structure of the inner skin and the outer skin, and the length direction of the thumb bag between the inner skin and the outer skin at a position on the back of the thumb. (Japanese Patent No. 2863824) has been proposed in which the strength of the thumb pouch and the transmission of the force of the thumb are improved by providing a longitudinal reinforcing plate made of a synthetic resin or the like extending in the direction indicated by the arrow. In the grab, a felt core is interposed between the inner and outer skins on the front side of the thumb bag in order to reduce the impact at the time of catching a ball, and if a reinforcing plate is provided in addition to this felt core, the thumb bag will not bend easily. Because of the inconvenience, the proposed glove solves this inconvenience by dividing the reinforcing plate in the longitudinal direction.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In general, infielders open their palms to catch balls, and outfielders pursue their palms to catch balls, so players regularly adjust grabs to suit their defensive positions. Therefore, for example, when the defense position is suddenly changed from the outfield to the infield, the defense must be performed using a glove that is not suitable for adjustment, which may cause an unexpected error. New gloves also need to be adjusted over time to be suitable for their defensive position, and the use of less familiar gloves is anxious.
[0004]
In addition, in the case of an infielder, the palm is spread and the ball is caught, so that the thumb and the little finger are located apart and adjusted so that the balling operation led by the little finger is easily performed. Adjustment is made so that the thumb can easily perform a ball-catching operation in the state where the little finger is approaching.
[0005]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a baseball glove which has a reinforcing plate and has a strong strength in a thumb bag and good power transmission.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, a reinforcing plate separated at the base side and the tip side of the thumb is provided partially in the thumb bag of a baseball glove, and the strength of the entire thumb bag and the force of the thumb are provided. In a baseball glove with improved transmission, a string whose tip extends outside the glove is inserted into both the base side and the tip side reinforcing plates, and the two reinforcing plates are connected by tightening or loosening the string. The state can be adjusted freely. On the back side of the thumb of the thumb bag, a reinforcing plate on the tip side and a reinforcing plate on the root side are sequentially provided, and each reinforcing plate is attached to the glove leather, and insertion holes are provided at a plurality of positions of each reinforcing plate. May be provided so that a string is inserted through each insertion hole. The reinforcing plate is formed of a hard synthetic resin, a step is formed on the reinforcing plate on the tip side, and a portion below the step is superimposed on the reinforcing plate on the base side, so that the reinforcing plate is transmitted from the reinforcing plate to the thumb. Shock is reduced. In the little finger bag of the baseball glove, a little finger reinforcement plate separated at the root side and the tip side of the little finger is provided by partially overlapping, and a string whose tip extends outside the glove is inserted into the little finger reinforcement plate, If the connection state of the two reinforcing plates can be adjusted by tightening or loosening, the adjustment of the little finger bag can be made good.
[0007]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Referring to the drawings, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a baseball glove, and a hard synthetic resin reinforcing plate 3 is provided inside a thumb bag 2. The details of the reinforcing plate 3 are as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, and have a configuration in which a reinforcing plate 3a on the base side curved in a semicircular arc and a reinforcing plate 3b on the tip side in the shape of a shoehorn are separated. The root-side reinforcing plate 3a is superimposed on the portion 13 below the step 4 formed below the tip-side reinforcing plate 3b. The portion 13 below the step 4 was provided with a notch 14 to reduce the width, and was formed into a curved surface substantially equal to the curvature of the reinforcing plate 3a on the root side.
[0008]
As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the inside of the thumb bag 2 is provided with an inner bag 6 into which the thumb 5 of the hand is inserted. A felt core 7 for cushioning is interposed therebetween, and the reinforcing plates 3a and 3b are overlapped between the thumb bag 2 and the inner bag 6 on the back side of the thumb 5, as shown in FIG. A reinforcing plate 3b on the distal end side is provided, and the reinforcing plate 3a on the root side is interposed outside the reinforcing plate 3b. The reinforcing plate 3a on the root side is fixed to the thumb bag 2 by inserting the strap 9 into the mounting holes 8, 8 formed at the upper and lower two places on the side, and the reinforcing plate 3b on the tip side matches the contour shape. The sewing machine was sewn on the thumb bag 2 to prevent movement.
[0009]
Although such a configuration is not much different from the baseball glove previously proposed, in the case of the present invention, in order to simplify the adjustment of this type of glove, the tip 10a is attached to each reinforcing plate 3a, 3b outside the glove 1. The extending cord 10 was inserted. By tightening or loosening the string 10, the connection between the two reinforcing plates 3 a and 3 b can be quickly or firmly adjusted so that the glove 1 can be immediately adjusted according to a change in the defensive position, for example. In the illustrated example, insertion holes 11 and 11 are provided at two places where the reinforcing plates 3a and 3b overlap each other, and two strings 10 are inserted into the respective reinforcing plates to adjust them. In addition, the rear end 10b of each cord 10 was fixed to the thumb bag 2, and in the case shown in the figure, the rear end 10b was fixed to the middle of the thumb and index finger on the glove skin on the back of the hand. Reference numeral 12 denotes a leather hook provided inside the inner bag 6 for hanging the thumb 5.
[0010]
In the drawing, when the knot is made and the state is maintained so as to maintain the state by tightening the tip of each cord 10, the two reinforcing plates 3 a and 3 b are relatively firmly integrated, so that the movement of the thumb 5 Is transmitted to the entire thumb bag 2. In addition, the tip of the thumb bag 2 is usually located away from the index finger bag due to the elasticity of the leather or felt, so that the glove catching surface tends to be opened. The tip of approaches the forefinger's bag, the glove catching surface becomes narrow and tends to close outfield, which is an adjustment suitable for the outfield defense that catches the ball by operating the thumb.
[0011]
On the other hand, when each string 10 is adjusted to be maintained in a loose state, the reinforcing plates 3a and 3b are loosely connected to each other, and the reinforcing plate 3b on the tip side is separated from the forefinger's bag by the elasticity of leather or the like. As a result, the glove catching surface is wide open, and therefore, the adjustment is suitable for the infield defense that performs the catching operation led by the little finger. These adjustments can be made immediately without relying on routine glove care.
[0012]
In the example of FIG. 8, a little finger reinforcement plate 16 separated at the base side and the tip side of the little finger is also provided in the little finger bag 15 of the baseball glove 1, and the reinforcement plate at the base side of the little finger reinforcement plate is provided. The string 17 whose tip 17a extends to the outside of the glove is inserted into the reinforcing plate 16a and the reinforcing plate 16b on the distal end side, and the connected state of the two reinforcing plates can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the string. As in the case of the bag 2, when tightened, the movement of the little finger is transmitted to the entire little finger bag 15, and the adjustment is suitable for the above-mentioned outfield type operation. The rear end 17b of the cord 17 is fixed to the little finger bag 15.
[0013]
【The invention's effect】
