Description

  The present invention mainly relates to gloves suitable for sports such as golf and baseball.

  In sports such as golf and baseball that hold a club or a bat, gloves are mainly used for protecting hands. When a club or bat is gripped from an open hand, the hand is greatly deformed. In particular, the proximal and middle phalanxes on the back (top) of the hand are greatly deformed. For this reason, if a glove is created only with a material that does not stretch, such as leather, the glove is hard and does not feel fit, and the wearing feeling is not good. On the other hand, if a glove is made only with a mesh material or a stretchable material, it will have a good feeling of wear, although it will stretch.

  In order to solve such a problem, there is a proposal for arranging a stretch fabric by providing a notch in a region surrounding the bone head of the proximal phalanx of the second finger (indicator (human finger)) and the third finger (middle finger). Yes (Patent Document 1). This proposal can alleviate the sense of incongruity by using locally stretchable fabrics, but the hardness of other parts remains and there is a problem in wearing feeling.

  As another proposal, there is a glove in which an elastic material is arranged on the upper part to enhance the fit at the time of grip, and an overextension preventing part is provided in part so as to overlap the elastic material (Patent Document 2). In this proposal, the difference between the area that stretches and the area that does not stretch is too large, so there is a problem that the difference of each part appears that some fit the back of the hand but some do not fit, Become.

As another proposal, there is a glove that can follow the lateral expansion between each finger by arranging parts for each finger and dividing the finger in the vertical direction (Patent Document 3). However, this proposal does not take into account the longitudinal elongation, and has a problem that it cannot follow the complicated three-dimensional deformation of the back of the hand.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention provides a glove that follows a deformation caused by a hand gripping operation, has both a fit and a firm feeling, and has a high protective function and exercise function.

  The glove of the present invention is a glove in which an elastic member and a protective member are arranged on the back side of the hand, and when the glove is left standing and viewed from the back side, the elastic member has two or more independent curves. Forming a row, the upper end portion is located at any position of the lower half of the finger pouch, and the curved line made of the elastic member is orthogonal to the upper end portion and the center line of the third finger (middle finger) pouch. Between the first finger (thumb) finger bag and the perpendicular line passing through the finger crotch of the second finger (indicating finger) finger bag, the second finger (indicating finger) finger bag, the third finger (middle finger) finger bag, the fourth A portion sandwiched between the curved lines of the stretchable member at least twice crossing the center line of at least one finger bag selected from a finger (ring finger) finger bag and a fifth finger (little finger) finger bag toward the wrist The protective member exists in the.

  The glove of the present invention follows the deformation from the upper part of the metacarpal bone to the vicinity of the proximal phalanx that greatly deforms when the hand is gripped. And a glove having a high motor function. In other words, when the hand is gripped, a large deformation occurs from the upper part of the metacarpal bone of the back (back) to the vicinity of the proximal phalanx, and this deformation is a surface constituted by the first curve from the upper end of the elastic member. And the elastic member extends in the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, and the diagonal direction. Thereby, it follows the deformation | transformation of a hand, fitting with the whole hand, and motor functionality is high. Moreover, since the protective member is formed in the portion sandwiched between the elastic members, the protective function is also high and the protective function is high.

  The present inventors observed the deformation of the back surface (back) when holding the hand. First, as shown in FIG. 9, circles are put in a grid pattern on the back of the hand, and x points, horizontal lines, and straight lines are drawn for the points, and how the hand is held as shown in FIG. It was analyzed in detail whether it was deformed. As a whole, it extends in the vertical and horizontal directions like a round dot in a grid pattern, but the part with the x point, horizontal line, and straight line also extends in an oblique direction, and it turns out that it moves complicatedly. . The present invention has an idea that it is intended to develop a glove that follows the movement of the back of the hand with such complicated three-dimensional deformation.

  In describing the present invention, first, the bones of fingers will be described. FIG. 11 is a perspective view of the left hand of a person viewed from the back (back side). The fingers consist of a first finger (thumb) 21, a second finger (indicating finger) 22, a third finger (middle finger) 23, a fourth finger (ringing finger) 24, and a fifth finger (small finger) 25, and a second finger (indicating finger). For example, the distal phalanx 26, the middle phalanx 27, and the proximal phalanx 28 are connected to the metacarpal bone 29 from the distal side. It then connects to several small bones and leads to the carpal 30. There are a radius 31 and an ulna 32 which are bones of an arm facing the wrist 30. Usually, the wrist means a region from the vicinity of the wrist 30 to the vicinity of the distal ends of the radius 31 and the ulna 32.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the glove of the present invention has a stretchable member (2a to 2d) and a protective member (1a to 1f) arranged on the back side of the hand, and the glove is allowed to stand in a steady state. When viewed from the side, the elastic members (2a to 2d) form two or more independent curved lines, and the upper end portion is located at any position in the lower half of the finger bag (4c to 4e). The curved line is composed of an upper end portion and a crotch portion between a first finger (thumb) finger bag and a second finger (indicator) finger bag orthogonal to a center line (17) of the third finger (middle finger) finger bag ( 16) up to a perpendicular line (for example, the intersection (17d) in the case of the middle finger), the second finger (indicating finger) finger bag, the third finger (middle finger) finger bag, the fourth finger (ring finger) finger bag, and the fifth finger (Little finger) Crossed at least twice the center line of at least one fingerbag selected from the fingerbags and headed in the wrist direction, and was sandwiched between the elastic members (2a to 2d) Min protection member (1 a - 1 f) is present. As a result, it is possible to follow the deformation caused by the grasping operation of the hand, to achieve both fit and firmness, and to maintain the protective function and the exercise function well. In the present invention, the “curved line” refers to a “surface formed by a curve”. In the above description, the steady state refers to a state where a glove is opened and left standing.

  In the above description, the lower half of the finger bags (4c to 4e) corresponds to a portion covering the proximal phalanx. Therefore, the upper end of the elastic members (2b to 2d) is a base of at least one finger selected from the second finger (indicating finger), the third finger (middle finger), the fourth finger (ringing finger), and the fifth finger (little finger). If it is any part that covers the bone and the lower end is an arbitrary part below the line 19, it can follow a large deformation from the upper part of the metacarpal bone to the vicinity of the proximal phalanx in the back (back).

  The protective member (1a to 1f) is a metacarpal bone continuous with at least one finger selected from the second finger (indicating finger), the third finger (middle finger), the fourth finger (ring finger) and the fifth finger (little finger). It is preferable that it is formed in the part which covers at least one part. As a result, the protective function of the back of the hand and a strong feeling can be expressed.

  The protective member is preferably disposed on the stretchable member and integrated by sewing or bonding. If it does in this way, sewing or adhesion | attachment will be easy and there will be little shape loss. Sewing is performed with a sewing machine that forms seams such as main stitching, chain stitching, one-needle overlock, two-needle overlock, and flat seam. The type of seam is not limited. As an adhesion method, for example, there is a method of hot pressing using a heat-meltable seam tape made of polyurethane. It is also possible to form a product by fixing several protective parts on a piece of elastic material which is divided into several elastic parts.

  The width of each curved line made of the stretchable member is narrower than the width of the protective member, and preferably 3/4 or less of the maximum finger width orthogonal to the center line of the third finger (middle finger) finger upper. / 3 or less is preferable. As a result, the hand protection function can be maintained high without deteriorating the motor function.

  When the glove is left standing and viewed from the back side, the shape of the curved line made of the stretchable member is preferably S-shaped, reverse S-shaped, or a combination thereof. Thereby, a large deformation of the hand can be followed by the function of the elastic member extending in the vertical, horizontal and diagonal directions.

  The elastic member is preferably a knitted fabric that expands and contracts in the two-way direction. This is because the vertical and horizontal deformations can be greatly increased. The stretch rate at the time of 4.9 N (500 gf) load in the 5 cm width of the elastic member is preferably in the range of 5 to 150% in both the weft and backward directions. The stretchable member may be a knitted fabric or a woven fabric combining fibers selected from, for example, polyurethane fiber, polyamide fiber, and polyester fiber.

  The curvature of the first arc from the upper end of the protective member is preferably in a range where the radius (R) is 3 mm or more and 20 mm or less. Also, the angle when the innermost part of the first arc and the innermost part of the next arc are connected by a straight line with the center at the upper end of each of the elastic members as the base point is in the range of 80 ° to 110 °. It is preferable that Accordingly, a large deformation of the hand can be similarly followed by the function of the elastic member extending in the vertical, horizontal and diagonal directions.

  An incision made of a stretchable member may be further provided at a position corresponding to the bone head of the middle phalanx on the back side of the glove in parallel with the first arc. Thereby, it is possible to follow a large deformation of the bone head of the middle phalanx.

  The protective member is preferably formed of natural leather, synthetic leather or artificial leather. This is to keep the protection function high. Here, the natural leather is animal leather such as cow skin, pig skin, sheep skin, deer skin and the like. Synthetic leather is obtained by coating a surface of a woven or knitted fabric such as nylon with a synthetic resin such as polyurethane or vinyl chloride resin. Artificial leather is based on a non-woven fabric, and its surface is coated with a synthetic resin such as polyurethane, polyamino acid, nylon resin, or vinyl chloride resin, and is subjected to, for example, a suede-like surface treatment.

  In addition, it is preferable that the protective member exists up to the wrist. The end of the elastic member may overlap with the throttle part containing the rubber of the wrist part, may not overlap with the throttle part, or may be stopped at any part between the line 16 and the wrist part. good.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to examples.

Example 1
FIG. 1 is a rear view of a baseball glove according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this glove, protective members (1a to 1c) made of natural leather, synthetic leather or artificial leather were formed of three or more independent rows on the upper part. A row of protective members (1d to 1e) on the little finger side of the three rows and a row of protective members (1f) on the thumb side were provided. As shown in FIG. 2, when this glove is left standing in a steady state and viewed from the back side, the elastic members (2a to 2d) are formed of four independent curved lines, and the upper end is a finger bag ( 4b-4e) in any position in the lower half. Also, between the center line of the third finger (middle finger) pouch and the intersection of the first finger (thumb) finger pouch and the perpendicular line passing through the finger crotch (16) of the second finger (indicator) pouch In addition, the curved line (2b) made of a stretchable member intersects at least twice and is arranged toward the wrist. Protective members (1a to 1f) were arranged in the portion sandwiched between the elastic members (2a to 2d). In addition, the upper end of the elastic members (2b to 2d) is any part that covers the proximal phalanges of the second finger (indicating finger), the third finger (middle finger), the fourth finger (ringing finger), and the fifth finger (small finger). The lower end was extended from below the line 19 to the vicinity of the wrist. The curved line of the elastic members (2a to 2d) was formed in an S shape.

  The protection members (1a to 1f) were placed on the stretchable members (2a to 2e) and integrated by sewing. In this way, sewing is easy and there is little loss of shape.

  The width of each curved line composed of the elastic members (2a to 2e) is narrower than the width of the protective members (1a to 1f), and is equal to or less than half the maximum finger width of the third finger (middle finger) finger bag. As a result, the hand protection function was maintained high without deteriorating the motor function.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory view of FIG. 1, 16 is a crotch portion of the thumb and the index finger, 17 is a center line of the middle finger pouch, 17 a is a tip portion of the center line 17, and 17 b is a center line 17 and the base of the middle finger. Intersection of connecting line 18, 17 c is an intermediate point between points 17 a and 17 b, 17 d is an intersection of lines 17 and 16, 19 is a vertical line from the finger crotch to the center line 17, and 20 is telescopic It is the front-end | tip part of a sex member.

  In this embodiment, the elastic member has an S-shape. Thereby, a large deformation of the hand could be followed by the function of extending the elastic member in the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, and the oblique direction (bias direction). This is shown in FIG. The portions of the elastic members (2a to 2e) that bend greatly extend in the X direction (horizontal direction) and the Y direction (vertical direction), and in an oblique direction (not shown). This stretch allowed me to hold my hand without any discomfort.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing, in bold lines, which part has undergone a large deformation when the finger is opened from the state of FIG. It can be seen that the deformation from the upper part of the metacarpal bone to the vicinity of the proximal phalanx is large.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the radius (r1) of the first arc from the upper end of the protective member at the lower part of the middle finger has a curvature of 15 mm, the lower part of the ring finger has a radius (r2) of 7.5 mm, and the lower part of the little finger The radius (r3) was 4 mm. In addition, the angle θ1 when the innermost part of the first arc and the innermost part of the next arc are connected by a straight line with the center of the upper end of each of the curved lines made of the elastic member at the lower part of the middle finger as a base point is 100 °, and the ring finger The angle θ2 of the lower part of the finger was 92 °, and the angle θ3 of the lower part of the little finger was 84 °. Thereby, the large deformation | transformation of the hand was able to be followed similarly by the function extended in the length direction and the horizontal direction of an elastic member.

  In this example, as shown in FIG. 1, protective members (4a to 4e) were provided on the finger part at the tip. Thereby, the protection of the tip of the finger could be strengthened.

  In FIG. 1, reference numeral 5 denotes a rubber-drawn portion, and 6 denotes a wrist protection belt, which is fixed by a hook-and-loop fastener. The golf gloves do not require the belt 6 for protecting the wrist.

Each member of the baseball glove according to the above embodiment is as follows.
(1) Protective member on the back of the hand and the back of the finger Natural sheep leather with a basis weight of 297 g / m ² (2) Protective member from the palm to the front of the finger (integrated), and a protective member on the front of the thumb Natural sheep with a basis weight of 297 g / m ² Leather (3) Stretch member on back of hand Two-way knitted fabric made of polyester and polyurethane fibers with a basis weight of 215 g / m ² , stretch rate at 4.9 N (500 gf) load at 5 cm width is 82% in the warp direction and 75% in the weft direction
(4) Stretch member on the side of the finger Two-way knitted fabric made of nylon and polyurethane fibers with a basis weight of 215 g / m ² , elongation rate at 4.9 N (500 gf) load at 5 cm width is 82% in the warp direction and 75% in the weft direction
When a glove is created and worn by sewing using the above members, the deformation from the vicinity of the proximal phalanx to the vicinity of the middle phalanx on the back (back) that greatly deforms when the glove is bent from the opened state to the gripping position It was confirmed that it was a glove that had both a good fit and a firm feeling, and a high protective function and exercise function. That is, the elastic member extends in a vertical direction, a horizontal direction, and an oblique direction as a result of the large deformation of the hand, so that it can follow the deformation of the hand while fitting to the entire hand, and can grasp the hand without feeling uncomfortable. Moreover, there was also a solid feeling and the protection function was also high.

(Example 2)
In Example 1, a glove was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the wrist belt 16 was not prepared. This glove is shown in FIG. FIG. 6 is a rear view of the golf glove according to the second embodiment of the present invention. When this glove is used for golf play, it follows the deformation of the back of the hand (back) from the vicinity of the proximal phalanx to the vicinity of the middle phalanx as in Example 1, and both fit and firmness are achieved. Moreover, it was confirmed that the gloves had high protective functions and exercise functions. That is, the elastic member extends in a vertical direction, a horizontal direction, and an oblique direction due to the large deformation of the hand, and thereby, it can follow the deformation of the hand while fitting the entire hand, and can grasp the hand without a sense of incongruity. Moreover, there was also a solid feeling and the protection function was also high.

(Example 3)
In FIG. 7, incisions (3a to 3e) made of a stretchable member are provided in parallel with the first curve at a position corresponding to the bone head of the middle phalanx on the back side in the finger bag of the glove of Example 1. Thereby, it was possible to further follow the large deformation of the bone head of the middle phalanx.

Example 4
FIG. 8 is a rear view of a baseball glove according to another embodiment of the present invention. The difference from the first embodiment is as follows.
(1) The upper ends of the protective members (11a to 11d) made of natural leather are the bases of the fingers of the second finger (indicating finger), the third finger (middle finger), the fourth finger (ring finger), and the fifth finger (small finger), respectively. Any part of the position covering the bone was used, and the lower end was the wrist.
(2) The elastic members (12b to 12d) exist between the protective members (11a to 11d), and the elastic members (12b to 12d) between at least three rows of the protective members (11a to 11d). ) Are further connected on the S-shape in a different direction along the opposite direction.

  Other than that, a glove was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1. In FIG. 8, 11e and 11f are protective members, 12e and 12f are elastic members, 14a to 14e are protective members for finger tips, 5 is a throttle part containing rubber, and 6 is a belt.

  When the gloves created in this way were created and worn, when the gloves were bent from the open state to the grip position, they follow the deformation from the vicinity of the proximal phalanx to the vicinity of the middle phalanx on the back (top), which deforms greatly. In addition, it was confirmed that the glove had both a good fit and a good feeling, and had a high protective function and exercise function. That is, the elastic member extends in a vertical direction, a horizontal direction, and an oblique direction due to the large deformation of the hand, and thereby, it can follow the deformation of the hand while fitting the entire hand, and can grasp the hand without a sense of incongruity. Moreover, there was also a solid feeling and the protection function was also high. The glove of Example 3 had a higher protective function than the glove of Example 1.

  The glove I created in Example 1, the conventional glove II (Comparative Example 1) formed entirely with natural leather, and the entire region above the line 16 and below the point 20 in FIG. Nine baseball players were asked to wear the gloves III (Comparative Example 2) made of the stretch fabric (two-way knitting) used in Example 1. The results are shown in Table 1.

From the above, it was confirmed that the embodiment product of the present invention (gloves I) was most excellent in the balance between fit and firmness. In addition, compared with the gloves III (Comparative Example 2), the example product (gloves I) of the present invention was superior in the protective function from the upper part of the metacarpal bone to the vicinity of the proximal phalanx.
