Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the following problems: it is hard to accurately operate a tool due to a gap generated among the tool, fingers, and palm by a slight impact, when operating the tool held by hand; and further, it is too hard to hold the tool or a baggage because a burden applied to the fingers is increased, when a person has weak grip strength or holds the tool or baggage for a long time. <P>SOLUTION: A cloth portion extending from a band secured on the wrist covers the palm, and the fingers are exposed from holes corresponding to the index, middle, annular, and little fingers, and the tool is appropriately brought into close contact with the roots of the index, middle, annular, and little fingers by wrapping the tool by an extending portion on the palm side or by wrapping the tool in the extending portion to be folded back so as to be secured on the wrist, so that the load of the tool to be held is scattered on the back or wrist. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention, when holding and operating tools and luggage with palms, has an excellent operability and a finger applied by appropriately adhering them to the base of the finger and dispersing those loads on the wrist and back of the hand. The present invention relates to a power grip grip assisting tool intended to reduce a load.

  Conventionally, as gloves and equipment for assisting grip strength, gloves for assisting grip strength when gripping a golf club (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-271260), gloves for gripping a baseball bat (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-57107), muscles Grip strength assisting devices (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-227015) for elderly people and women who have declined have been devised.

  The conventional gloves for golf and baseball have an advantage that a stable grip force can be maintained as compared with the case of bare hands because hand slipping can be appropriately stopped. However, since the close contact between the tool and the base of the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger is insufficient, the finger may be separated from the tool due to the impact of hitting the ball, which may hinder accurate operation. Also, the power was often not transmitted well due to the gap between the tool, palm, and fingers.

  On the other hand, in the case of the grip assisting tool (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-227015), since it is a product molded in the shape of a palm having a tool, there is a limit to its daily use.

  In both cases of conventional gloves and grip strength assist devices, a comfortable feeling of use declines due to sweating from the palm when used for a long time. In addition, these gloves and grip strength assisting devices have limited use competitions and use scenes, and there are limits to how easily they can be used in various situations.

  The cloth-like part extending from the band for fixing to the wrist covers the back of the hand, and put out each finger from the hole opened in each part corresponding to the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, little finger, By wrapping or fixing to the wrist by wrapping and folding, the tool can be properly adhered to the base of the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger, and the load of the held tool can be distributed to the back of the hand and wrist Can do.

  The degree of adhesion between the index finger, the middle finger, the ring finger, the little finger and the tool greatly affects the operation of the tool to be used accurately. With conventional gloves, the finger and the tool were not sufficiently in contact, but with this device, the tool can be easily held for a long time while maintaining proper contact, improving the operability of the tool and The loss of transmitted power is also reduced. In addition, when the load is held with a palm by using the device according to the second aspect, the load can be distributed to the wrist, the back of the hand, etc., and even if the gripping force is weak, it can be easily operated for a long time. In both the devices of claims 1 and 2, since the entire hand is not covered with a cloth or leather unlike conventional gloves, there is no slippage due to sweat or uncomfortable feeling of use. Both instruments are easy to process and can be used in a wide range of fields, from sports to everyday life.

  In the case of the device according to claim 1, a cloth-like portion having an adequate stretchability and a sufficient length suitable for the thickness of the device is fixed to the back side of the band with a hook-and-loop fastener or the like for fixing to the wrist. Take out each finger from the hole in the part corresponding to the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, little finger, apply a non-slip process to the part that comes in contact with the cloth-like tool that came out on the palm side, and give the palm side a bulge, Apply something like a gap pad (8) to reduce the gap between the palm and instrument.

  In the case of the device of claim 2, fold the cloth-like part that protrudes to the palm side, wrap the tool to be used, take out each finger from the hole corresponding to the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, little finger, and fix it to the wrist or back To do.

  When the rod-like tool must be released immediately (eg, when holding a baseball or softball bat), it takes the form of the device of claim 1, and the bat-like tool is placed on the cloth-like part on the palm side. Wrap it in close contact with the base of the four fingers. When the palm is opened, the tool leaves the hand. (Fig. 4)

  If you hold your hand for a long time (if you have ski stock, fishing rods, shopping bags, etc.), fold the cloth-like part that protrudes toward your palm, wrap the object you want to hold, and finger from the hole in the part corresponding to each finger. And fix it to the back of the hand or wrist with a hook-and-loop fastener. (Fig. 6)

  When holding a tennis racket or golf club, use the appropriate equipment.

  Since the power-up grip assisting tool according to the present invention is easy to process and can be industrially mass-produced, it has industrial applicability.
