Description

  The present invention relates to a baseball mitt used by a baseball catcher or first baseman, and a softball mitt used by a softball catcher or first baseman.

  For pitchers such as baseball and softball, the match is determined by how the ball is thrown where the catcher holds the mitt. For this purpose, the catcher holds the mitt's thumb part on the ground side, opens the catching surface firmly, and holds the lead firmly toward the front of the pitcher. The pitcher throws the ball toward the core of the catch surface of the catcher. The core mentioned here is the pitching point requested by the catcher. Conventional baseball and softball mitts have been improved practically in terms of catching and the like due to improvements in shape and manufacturing method.

However, for the pitcher, the conventional baseball and softball mitt with the catcher holding the catching surface firmly open is made of a single piece of leather with a concave catching surface, and it is difficult to determine where the core is. It is difficult for the catcher to hold the lead toward the pitcher in order to prevent it from being stolen, and it is difficult to recognize where the catcher's core is required in this instant throwing action. There was a problem.
In addition, it is easy to recognize the entire catching surface because the catching surface has a concave shape and is shaded and shining around. In this case, the size of the catching surface is about 4 baseballs. I can do it. Therefore, when the pitcher removes the core of the catching surface of the mitt requested by the catcher, the throwing ball is slightly detached left and right (inner angle / outer angle) and up and down (higher / lower).
In this way, conventional baseball and softball mitts are difficult to determine points for the pitcher to accurately pitch to the core of the catching surface of the mitt held by the catcher for a momentary pitching operation, and throwing at a precise target There was a drawback that could not be done.
The same can be said for the first baseball mitt of baseball and the first baseball mitt of softball.

  The baseball and softball mitts of the present invention are almost the same as balls that have a catching surface with red or other colors or fluorescent colors that can be easily seen by a baseball or softball pitcher during an instant pitching operation. It has a throwing point made of a shape such as a circle with a size, and an outer frame made of a hexagonal shape with a white or other color on almost the entire catching surface to make the throwing point easier to see. Because it is formed, the pitcher can easily recognize the pitching point held by the catcher in a momentary pitching action, can focus on the target, and these can be special urethane inks and leather special foils such as urethane Etc., and formed by special printing such as leather printing or hot stamping, it has advantages such as excellent durability such as impact resistance, abrasion resistance and water resistance, and practical use.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing a method for carrying out a baseball catcher mitt in one embodiment of the present invention, and is a view showing a catching surface side. FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing a method for carrying out a baseball catcher mitt in one embodiment of the present invention, and is a view showing the back side.

  The baseball and softball mitt of the present invention has a pitching point formed on a catching surface that can be easily seen by a baseball or a softball pitcher during a momentary pitching operation. This pitching point is impact resistant, Since it has wear resistance, water resistance, etc., it has practically realized the goal of being able to pitch with a focus on this pitching point.

  Baseball and softball mitts include baseball catchers, first baseman mitts, softball catchers, first baseman mitts, etc. FIG. 1 shows a baseball catcher mitt according to one embodiment of the present invention. It is explanatory drawing which showed this implementation method, and is the figure which showed the catch surface side. FIG. 2 is a view similarly showing the back side. Here, the implementation method of this baseball catcher mitt is mainly demonstrated. The baseball catcher mitt 1 is composed of a thumb insertion part 2, an index finger insertion part 3, a web part 4, a little finger insertion part 5, a heel part 6, a catching surface 7, and the like. Put it in and use it.

  The catching side of the baseball catcher mitt 1 is formed so that the catching surface 7 is concave with a single leather sheet for the thumb insertion portion 2, the little finger insertion portion 5 and the heel portion 6 with the catching surface 7 as the center. Yes. A throwing point 8 having a shape such as a circle of the same size as the baseball is formed at the center of the catching surface 7 and surrounded by a double circle 9 having a different color from the throwing point 8, and further caught. An outer frame 10 made of a hexagon or the like having a different color and the same center as the pitch point 8 is formed on almost the entire spherical surface 7.

  The pitching point 8 is formed in a red color or the like and has a shape of a circle or the like that is almost the same size as a baseball so that the baseball pitcher can easily see during a momentary pitching operation. The reason why a pitch such as red is used for the pitching point 8 is to make it easy to see and to avoid misidentification with a white baseball. Since the pitch point 8 is formed in the dark concave surface of the baseball mitt 1, the fluorescent color is more visible and more effective than the normal color. The double circle 9 is formed using a color such as yellow or black that is different from the pitch point 8 in order to make the pitch point 8 easier to see. In addition, the outer frame 10 is formed using a color such as white, improves the visibility and color of the throwing point 8 as the base of the throwing point 8, and also improves the visibility of the entire catching surface in the dark of the concave surface. . The double circle 9 can include a logo mark formed on a conventional baseball mitt within this range.

  The outer frame 10 is formed in a hexagonal shape, and when the baseball catcher holds the thumb insertion part 2 of the baseball catcher mitt 1 parallel to the ground, the baseball pitcher moves vertically (higher / lower), left / right It is formed so that the apex such as a hexagon comes at right angles to the thumb insertion part 2 so that the sense of (inner angle / outer angle) can be understood.

The throwing point 8, double circle 9 and outer frame 10 formed on the catching surface 7 of the baseball catcher mitt are required to be impact resistant because they receive large impacts, and are also resistant to wear and water for outdoor use. Sex is required. For this reason, a device for practical use is formed by using any one of leather printing, leather printing and special printing such as hot stamping.
These methods should be selected according to special printing such as hot stamping, which is more durable when using hard balls such as professional baseball, leather printing for soft balls, and leather coating for boys' baseball. Is also possible.

  Explaining examples of special printing, such as hot stamping, which is more durable, the leather sheet cut from leather material for the catching surface 7 of the baseball catcher mitt 1 is first applied with a groundwork to adhere to the leather The heat transfer foil consisting of the pattern such as the throwing point 8, double circle 9 and outer frame 10 is applied with special printing by applying heat and pressure with a relief printing plate, then protected with clear special ink, Formed by applying a durable hardener coating to the finish. Recently, heat transfer foils have been developed for various materials, but if special foils for leather such as urethane, which have excellent durability, are preferred to be fluorescent, fluorescent special foils for leather are used. . Hot stamping, which is also called foil stamping, is the same method. In addition, it can be said that the engraving or stamping that puts logo marks on leather products is almost the same method.

  The case where leather printing is used will be explained. First, the sheet cut from the leather material for the catching surface 7 of the baseball catcher mitt 1 is first treated with a base to improve its adhesion to the leather. It is formed by printing pitch point 8, double circle 9 and outer frame 10, etc. using special ink, then protecting with clear special ink, and coating with durable hardener for finishing. In the case of a fluorescent color, a fluorescent special ink for leather is used.

  In the case of using leather coating, the base material is first applied to the sheet cut from the leather material for the catching surface 7 of the baseball catcher mitt 1 to improve the adhesion with the leather, and the leather such as urethane It is formed by coating the pitch point 8, double circle 9 and outer frame 10, etc. using special paint, and then protecting it with a clear special paint and applying a durable hardener coating to the finish. In the case of a fluorescent color, a fluorescent special paint for leather is used.

  Special printing such as leather painting, leather printing, and hot stamping has been remarkably improved in recent years and can be put to practical use. The baseball catcher's mitt 1 catching surface 7 seat, which is formed by any of these methods, such as throwing point 8, double circle 9 and outer frame 10, is sewn together with other parts. After finishing, inspection, etc., the baseball catcher mitt 1 with a pitching point 8 is completed.

  The above embodiment is one embodiment of the present invention, and a baseball catcher mitt has been described. In baseball, a first baseman mitt is used. Even when throwing the ball from the fielder to the first baseman, it is necessary to accurately throw to the throwing point required by the first baseman, and it is useful and applicable to have the pitching point on the catching surface of the baseball first baseman's mitt It is. Further, it can be applied to a softball mitt such as a softball.
