Description

  The present invention relates to a baseball glove used for baseball, softball, and the like.

  Conventionally, in baseball grabs, in order to achieve reliable catching, play between the ball and the grab body is eliminated, the surface of the catching part is processed, and a special material is used for the catching part. Various measures are taken. These methods make it difficult for the ball to spill from the grab and reduce catching errors.

  On the other hand, from the viewpoint of reliable catching, it is necessary to consider not only the play between the ball and the grab, but also the play between the grab and the hand (finger). As for the play between the two, it remains unresolved. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult for the hand force to be directly transmitted to the grab, and as a result, it is difficult to reliably catch the ball.

In general, a baseball glove is composed of an outer skin and an inner skin, and a finger hook is provided on the thumb and little finger portion of the inner skin (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Usually, the tightening or loosening of the strap of this finger hanging device adjusts the tightening state of the thumb or little finger to some extent, and adjusts the play between the grab and the hand. is there. For example, if the strap is tightened too much, excessive strain is applied to the finger, and if it is too loose, play will increase, and in any case, the feeling of use and wearing may be impaired, and the catching operation may be hindered. There is.

  In modern baseball, the speed is increasing, and the speed of the ball that needs to be caught is increasing, and the size of the grab is increasing accordingly. Here, as the size of the grab increases, the hand or finger must be opened widely for catching the ball, and the above problem becomes more prominent. That is, as a result of having to open the hand and fingers widely as described above, for example, at the moment of catching, the grab body that has been greatly expanded with the hand and fingers is suddenly closed, so that the play is expanded Therefore, the current situation is that it is an impediment to reliable catching.

  The present invention has been proposed in view of such a conventional situation. That is, the present invention provides a baseball glove that can suppress play between hands and fingers and the grab, can directly transmit the power of the hands and fingers to the grab, and can realize a reliable catching. With the goal.

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a baseball glove of the present invention is a baseball glove comprising an inner skin that constitutes a finger pouch, and is a portion of at least the base of the palm that touches the palm side surface of the inner skin, An anti-slip member is provided in a portion in contact with the thumb and a portion in contact with the little finger.

  In the baseball glove of the present invention, among the palm-side surfaces of the endothelium, the part for contact with the base of the palm, the part for contact with the thumb, the part for contact with the little finger, and the index finger part or the middle finger part for the outer skin Is provided. This anti-slip member functions as a so-called anti-slip, and when the hand is put into the grab, for example, the palm, thumb, and little finger are fixed at an arbitrary position (a position that matches the hand). As a result, the play between the hand or finger and the grab is suppressed, and the force of the hand or finger is directly transmitted to the grab, thereby realizing a reliable catch.

  According to the baseball glove of the present invention, play between hands and fingers and the grab can be suppressed, the power of the hands and fingers can be directly transmitted to the grab, and reliable catching can be realized. It is possible to provide a baseball glove.

Hereinafter, a baseball glove to which the present invention is applied will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  The baseball glove of the present invention can be applied to all grabs used for catching baseball and softball, such as so-called gloves and mitt. First, the basic structure will be described.

  The baseball glove 1 is composed of an outer skin and an inner skin. As shown in FIG. 1, the outer bag 2 has a thumb bag 2a, an index finger bag 2b, a middle finger bag 2c, and a ring finger bag. 2d and the little finger bag 2e are fastened with the leather strap 3, and it is made into the form imitating the shape of a human hand. A net-like member 4 called a web is stitched between the thumb bag 2a and the index finger bag 2b so that the ball does not spill from this portion.

  Further, when the baseball glove 1 is viewed from the back, it has a mouth 5 for inserting a hand, and the hand is inserted from here. The mouth 5 is formed with a mouth band 6 for retaining the inserted hand. One end of the hand band 6 is sewn so as to extend the base end of the thumb bag 2a, and the other end is fastened by inserting a leather strap 7 through a hole provided in the base end of the little finger bag 2e. ing.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, the endothelium 10 includes a top sheet 11 with which the palm contacts and a back sheet 12 that wraps each finger from behind, and these are overlapped and the periphery is stitched. As shown in FIG. 3, the top sheet 11 has a thumb 11b, an index finger 11c, a middle finger 11d, a ring finger 11e, and a little finger 11f from the palm 11a in contact with the palm. It is extended.

  The back sheet 12 is sewn to the top sheet 11 so as to cover the back surface of each finger so as to have a sufficient inner diameter size corresponding to the thickness of each finger. The back sheet 12 may be formed so as to cover up to the fingertip portion of each finger, or may be formed so as to cover each finger up to a midway position. In this embodiment, the back sheet | seat 12 is partially formed in the form which covers each finger | toe to the middle part.

  And in this embodiment, the anti-slip | skid member 13 is provided corresponding to each finger | toe on the surface which touches the palm among the said endothelium 10, ie, the inner surface of the surface sheet 11. FIG. 3 is a plan view of the top sheet 11, and in the case of this embodiment, the anti-slip member 13 is formed in a portion indicated by a hatched area in the drawing.

  Specifically, as the anti-slip member 13, the first anti-slip part 13a formed on the base end part 11g of the palm part 11a of the top sheet 11 corresponding to the base part of the palm, at least of the thumb A second anti-slip portion 13b formed on the thumb piece 11b corresponding to a part (here, fingertip) and a third slip formed on the little finger piece 11f corresponding to at least a part of the little finger (fingertip). A stopper 13c is formed. Furthermore, corresponding to the fingertips of the other fingers, the index finger piece 11c, the middle finger piece 11d, and the ring finger piece 11e also have a fourth anti-slip portion 13d, a fifth anti-slip portion 13e, and a sixth anti-slip portion 13f. Is formed. Antislip portions 13j and 13i are also formed on the outer skin of the index finger and middle finger portions.

  Among these, the first anti-slip portion 13a corresponding to the base portion of the palm, the second anti-slip portion 13b corresponding to the thumb, and the third anti-slip portion 13c corresponding to the little finger are important, and at least By forming these anti-slip portions 13a to 13c as anti-slip members 13, play between the hand and the grab is suppressed. Of course, if the anti-slip portions 13d to 13f are formed corresponding to the other fingers, it is possible to further prevent the hand from slipping and moving in the baseball glove 1, and to further suppress the play.

  Further, it is particularly effective to form the anti-slip member 13 on the finger hanging portion when the inner skin 10 has a finger hanging portion. 4 and 5 show an example of the endothelium 10 provided with this finger-hanging portion. In this example, a thumb finger rest 14 and a little finger hook 15 are provided.

  Each of the finger-hanging portions 14 and 15 is composed of support portions 14a and 15a wound around a finger, and leather strap portions 14b and 15b formed so as to extend the end portions thereof. The leather strap portions 14b and 15b are pulled out through the insertion hole 12a provided, and further through the insertion hole provided in the outer skin 2, and the thumb and little finger are tightened by tightening the leather strap portions 14b and 15b. It has a function to adjust.

  However, it is not always possible to sufficiently suppress play only by adjusting the strap portions 14b and 15b. This is because if the tightening of the strap portions 14 and 15b is increased in order to reduce play, a load is excessively applied to the thumb and little finger, and the usability and wearing feeling are impaired. If the tightening of the strap portions 14, 15b is loosened in consideration of the feeling of use and wearing, it is difficult to make the play sufficiently small.

  Therefore, if the anti-slip portions 13g and 13h are formed on the inner surfaces of the support portions 14a and 15a wound around the fingers of the finger-holding portions 14 and 15, as described above, the tightening state by the finger-holding portions 14 and 15 and the anti-slip properties are reduced. The anti-slip effect by the portions 13g and 13h reliably prevents play between the inner skin 10 and the hand without impairing the feeling of use and wearing. In addition, since most players use their index finger outside, the anti-slip part 13i is also provided on that part, so that the index finger is more firmly fixed at the non-slip part, so that the middle finger, ring finger, and little finger can easily apply force. , The catch is even more certain.

  Examples of the material of the anti-slip member 13 include natural leather, synthetic leather, artificial leather, rubber, synthetic resin, and the like. The anti-slip member 13 can be obtained by pasting these sheets or the like in a predetermined area. Can function. In this case, it is also effective to apply anti-slip processing to the surface of the anti-slip member 13.

  As the anti-slip process, for example, a method of increasing the anti-slip effect by roughening the surface can be employed. In this case, it is possible to obtain a further anti-slip effect by forming the roughened region in a predetermined pattern (for example, a mesh shape or the like).

Further, in the surface sheet 11 of the inner skin 10, a soft cushion material is built in a boundary portion between the base end portion 11g corresponding to the base of the palm of the palm portion 11a and the palm center portion 11h where the center portion of the palm contacts. By doing so, it is possible to further improve the fixed state by the anti-slip member 13.

  Further, as the structure of the baseball glove 1, a structure is provided in which a hand band supporting the back of the hand is provided at the hand position, and the hand band is fixed to the peripheral part on the little finger side so that the length dimension can be adjusted, By using it together with the anti-slip member 13, the back side of the mouth and the palm are fixed well and the effect that the force is easily transmitted to the baseball glove 1 can be obtained.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of a baseball glove having an adjustable hand band. The basic structure of this baseball glove is the same as that shown in FIG. That is, one end 23a of the mouth band 23 is fixed to a peripheral edge portion 22a on the thumb side of the mouth 22 provided in the main body 21 of the baseball glove. Further, the other end 23b of the mouth band 23 and the peripheral edge portion 22b on the little finger side of the mouth band 22 are fixed by a leather strap 25 inserted through the binding hole 24 formed therein so that the length dimension can be adjusted.
