Description

The present invention relates to a baseball glove suitable for use by infielders, outfielders and pitchers.

In baseball games, infielders, outfielders, and pitchers have many opportunities to catch a ball, and the speed, height, angle, etc. of the ball are different from those of a ground ball, fly, liner, etc., so catch such a ball. Some skill is required to play a ball.

However, catching such a hit ball depends not only on the catching technique but also on the performance and usability of the grab used, so there are many ingenious baseball grabs. do.

As such a baseball glove, for example, there is a baseball glove in which the hand band provided in the hand insertion portion is made of a member separate from the grab main body and is composed of a belt portion and a pad portion. A stretchable material is partially used for this belt portion, and fasteners are provided at both ends so that the belt portion can be detachably attached to the fasteners provided on the grab body (Patent Document 1).

Since the baseball glove uses an elastic material for a part of the belt part, it can accommodate users with different hand sizes, and the length between the fasteners provided at both ends of the belt part. Even if it differs depending on the grab, it can handle the different lengths. Furthermore, when the hand is inserted into the glove to which the hand band is attached, the back of the user's hand can be made to follow this elastic material.

Further, as such a baseball glove, there is one in which a cushion material is provided on the back surface of a hand band in which one end is fixed to the grab body and the other end is detachable. Between the hand band and the cushion material, a stretchable adjustable belt is provided, one end of which is fixed to the glove body and the other end of which is detachably attached to the surface of the hand band (Patent Document 2).

The baseball glove is said to be able to be easily attached and detached while the hand band is fixed by attaching and detaching the adjustment belt. Then, by pulling the adjustment belt, the fit during use can be freely adjusted, and the adjustment can be performed regardless of the size of the user's hand. Moreover, since the hand band is fixed, there is no fear that the grab will come off during use.

By the way, in a baseball glove, when catching various hit balls such as a ground ball, a fly, and a liner, it is preferable that the catching surface portion is always maintained in a recessed state. However, when the back of the user's hand inserted into the glove is in contact with the hand band, it is strongly supported by this hand band, so that the spherical surface part is also in front of the user's palm and is in a depressed state. It may get a little swelling or floating. In particular, in youth baseball, many people are unfamiliar with handling grabs, and because they cannot fit or grip the grabs well, the spherical surface may be pushed forward and float from the recessed state. .. Then, when catching a ball, the hit ball may hit this floating portion and be repelled, and may jump out of the catching surface portion and fall.

Further, when the hit ball is a strong hit, not limited to a ground ball, a fly, or a liner, the impact on the catching surface portion is strong, so that the ball may bounce off and jump out of the catching surface portion.

However, the grab described in Patent Document 1 states that when the hand is inserted into the grab, the back of the hand can be made to follow the elastic material of the hand band, but when catching a hit ball, as described above. It does not have the effect of preventing the floating of the catching surface portion or the effect of softening the impact at the time of catching a ball.

Further, even in the grab described in Patent Document 2, it is stated that the fit during use can be freely adjusted by pulling the adjusting belt, but the hit ball is caught in the same manner as the grab described in Patent Document 1. In the case of a ball, it does not have the effect of preventing the catching surface portion from floating as described above or the effect of softening the impact at the time of catching the ball.

Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, improves the fit of the hand band to the back of the hand, softens the impact of the hit ball at the time of catching the ball, and also softens the impact of the hit ball at the time of catching the ball. The purpose of this is to provide a baseball glove that can prevent the part from floating and has excellent operability.

Therefore, in the baseball glove of the present invention, the ball catching portion 8 is formed below the front side of the thumb insertion portion 3, the index finger insertion portion 4, the middle finger insertion portion 5, the ring finger insertion portion 6 and the little finger insertion portion 7, and the index finger A viewing space S is provided below the back side of the insertion portion 4, the middle finger insertion portion 5, the ring finger insertion portion 6, and the little finger insertion portion 7, and the lower end extension portion 3a of the thumb insertion portion 3 and the lower end portion of the little finger insertion portion 7 are provided. A trick band 11 is provided between the two. The technique band 11 has a three-layer structure of an outer layer body 12, a middle layer body 13, and an inner layer body 14. The outer layer body 12 and the inner layer body 14 are made of a material having excellent high elasticity. The middle layer 13 is made of a low-stretch material, is formed in a frame shape so as to follow the contour of the portion of the hand band 11 in contact with the back of the user, and is a space between the outer layer 12 and the inner layer 14. 21 is formed.

In the baseball glove of the present invention, the middle layer body 13 is provided with a partition frame 13a that divides the space portion 21 formed between the outer layer body 12 and the inner layer body 14.

In the baseball glove of the present invention, the expansion / contraction rate of the outer layer body 12 and the inner layer body 14 is 100% or more, and the expansion / contraction rate of the middle layer body 13 is 10% or less.

The baseball glove of the present invention has a better fit to the back of the hand band, can soften the impact of the hit ball at the time of catching, and the hit ball is repelled and jumps out of the catching surface portion and falls. It will be less.

Further, the baseball glove of the present invention can prevent the catching surface portion from floating when the hitting ball is caught, so that the operability is excellent, and the hitting ball may jump out of the catching surface portion and fall. Less often.

It is a rear view which shows one Embodiment of the baseball glove of this invention. It is a front view which shows one Embodiment of the baseball glove of this invention. It is a top view of the technique band removed from the baseball glove of the present invention. It is sectional drawing by AA in FIG. It is an exploded perspective view of the technique band (edge skin is omitted) shown in FIG.

Hereinafter, a mode for carrying out the baseball grab of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the baseball glove of the present invention has a thumb insertion portion 3, an index finger insertion portion 4, and a middle finger insertion portion 5 by a back surface member 1 and a spherical surface member 2 made of natural leather or synthetic leather. , The ring finger insertion portion 6 and the little finger insertion portion 7 are formed, a spherical surface portion 8 is formed below the front side of these insertion portions, and the back surface side of the spherical surface portion 8 is a flat back portion 9.

In the baseball glove of the present invention, a net portion 10 is provided between the thumb insertion portion 3 and the index finger insertion portion 4, and the back surface of the index finger insertion portion 4, the middle finger insertion portion 5, the ring finger insertion portion 6 and the little finger insertion portion 7. A viewing space S is provided below the side, and a hand band 11 is provided between the lower end extension portion 3a of the thumb insertion portion 3 and the lower end portion of the little finger insertion portion 7.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the technique band 11 has a three-layer structure consisting of a highly elastic outer layer 12, a low elastic middle layer 13, and a highly elastic inner layer 14, and the helicopter skin 15 is used. It is bordered, and pads 16a and 16b made of natural leather or synthetic leather are attached to both ends.

The hand band 11 is provided with insertion holes 17a and 17b in the contact points 16a and 16b at both ends, respectively, and the fastening holes 18a provided in the lower end extension portion 3a of the thumb insertion portion 3 and the lower end portion of the little finger insertion portion 7. , 18b and the like, are attached to the lower end extension portion 3a of the thumb insertion portion 3 and the lower end portion of the little finger insertion portion 7. The illustrated hand band 11 is also provided with an insertion hole 17c for attaching to the lower end of the flat back portion 9, and the insertion hole 17c may be provided as needed.

Further, in this embodiment, the hand band 11 is directly attached to the lower end portion of the little finger insertion portion 7, but the lower end extension portion (not shown) is also attached to the little finger insertion portion 7 as in the thumb insertion portion 3. May be provided and the hand band 11 may be attached to the lower end extension portion.

Further, in this embodiment, the hand band 11 is detachably attached to the lower end extension portion 3a of the thumb insertion portion 3 and the lower end portion of the little finger insertion portion 7 by tying or untying the strings 19a and 19b. However, it can also be attached non-detachably with a stud or the like.

The outer layer body 12 and the inner layer body 14 are both made of highly elastic and highly flexible materials such as chloroprene rubber and polyurethane elastomer, and have a thickness of about 1.0 to 4.0 mm and are formed in a horizontally long band shape. It is supposed to have been done. Further, the outer layer body 12 and the inner layer body 14 may be obtained by reinforcing the outer layer body 12 and the inner layer body 14 by adhering the backing fabrics 12a and 14a made of a highly elastic material to the middle layer body 13 side, respectively. .. If necessary, an emblem (emblem) 20 or the like can be sewn on the surface of the outer layer body 12, or a logo mark or the like can be embroidered on the surface. The high elasticity refers to a material having a stretch ratio of 100% or more, and in the present invention, a stretch ratio of 200 to 500% is preferable.

The middle layer 13 has less elasticity than the outer layer 12 and the inner layer 14, is made of a low elasticity material such as natural leather or synthetic leather, and has a thickness of about 1.0 to 1.5 mm. The band 11 is formed in a substantially horizontally long square frame shape so as to follow the contour of the portion in contact with the back of the user, so that the space portion 21 is formed between the outer layer body 12 and the inner layer body 14. Further, the middle layer body 13 may be provided with a partition frame 13a that divides the space portion 21. One partition frame 13a is provided at a position along the third metacarpal bone of the back of the user's hand, or three at a position along the second to fourth metacarpal bones of the back of the user's hand as shown in the figure. This can be provided. The low elasticity means a material having a stretch ratio of 10% or less, and in the present invention, a material having a stretch ratio of 2 to 5% is preferable.

In the baseball glove of the present invention configured as described above, when a hit ball is caught by the catching surface portion 8 in the center of the catching surface portion 8 or near the bank portion, the impact is applied to the hand band 11 at the moment of catching the ball. The outer layer 12 and the inner layer 14 of the technique band 11 are stretched to follow the movement of the user's hand, and the space 21 is deformed to alleviate the stress due to the impact. The impact of the hit ball is softened by the outer layer body 12, the inner layer body 14, and the space portion 21.

Therefore, even when the hit ball is hit strongly, the impact of the catching surface portion 8 causes the catching surface portion 8 to fit the user's hand in accordance with the movement of the user's hand and become difficult to float, so that the hitting ball is hard to float. It is less likely that the ball will be repelled and jump out of the spherical surface portion 8 and fall, and the palm of the user will not be hurt easily.

Further, in the baseball glove of the present invention, in the space portion 21 provided with the partition frame 13a for dividing the space portion 21, the outer layer body 12 and the inner layer body 14 expand and contract at the moment of catching the ball, and the use Space 21 expands and contracts other than the position along the third metacarpal bone of the back of the user's hand or the position along the second to fourth metacarpal bones of the back of the user, but there is space at these positions. Since the portion 21 does not exist and does not expand or contract, the degree of deformation of the hand band 11 at these positions is suppressed, and the pressing force due to the deformation at these positions is located along the third metacarpal bone of the back of the user. Alternatively, these metacarpal bones on the back of the user's hand can be protected by preventing the metacarpal bones from hanging along the second to fourth metacarpal bones on the back of the user's hand.

In the baseball glove of the present invention, when the hit ball is caught by the net unit 9 or the catching surface portion 8 near the net unit 9, the impact of the hitting ball is softened at these parts, and the impact is softened by the catching surface portion. The 8 is not so transmitted, and the user does not receive a strong impact on the palm as in the conventional baseball grab.

Further, in the baseball glove of the present invention, when the back portion of the user inserted into the glove is in contact with the hand band 11, the outer layer 12 and the inner layer 14 of the hand band 11 are slightly extended, and the space portion. Since 21 is in a slightly contracted state and its back portion is not pushed toward the spherical surface portion 8, the spherical surface portion 8 is not pushed forward and the spherical surface portion 8 floats from the recessed state. Never. In particular, when the user is a boy or a beginner, even if the grab cannot be fitted or gripped well as described above, the spherical surface portion 8 is placed in front and is depressed. It can be greatly prevented from floating.

Therefore, the baseball glove of the present invention has excellent fit and operability because the catching surface portion 8 does not float from the recessed state, and the hit ball is repelled by the catching surface portion 8 at the time of catching the ball. , The number of falling balls is reduced.
