Description

  The present invention relates to a golf glove and a sports glove, and more particularly to a golf glove worn by a golfer and other sports gloves used for general sports.

  As a material for gloves worn during sports such as golf, artificial leather composed mainly of non-woven fabric and base fabric are composed of woven fabrics and knitted fabrics along with natural leather sheep leather, and the surface is coated with a resin such as urethane. Alternatively, synthetic leather that has been affixed or the like is widely used.

  Non-Patent Document 1 below shows a general manufacturing process of artificial leather. According to Non-Patent Document 1, since the sheet is continuously pulled in only one direction in the manufacturing process of artificial leather, it is supposed that there is a difference in easiness of elongation in the vertical and horizontal directions.

  FIGS. 12 and 13 are diagrams showing the necessary tension (N) for 30% elongation and 50% elongation of a glove material having a fabric size of 20 mm wide and 100 mm long, respectively. Note that “synthetic leather” in FIGS. 12 and 13 represents a typical synthetic leather for gloves, and “artificial leather” in FIGS. 12 and 13 represents a typical artificial leather for gloves.

  As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, both synthetic leather and artificial leather tend to extend in the lateral direction (roll width direction) more easily than the longitudinal direction (roll stretching direction). That is, the leather cannot be stretched by a predetermined amount unless a relatively large force is applied in the vertical direction.

  The content that the elongability of artificial leather differs in the vertical and horizontal directions is also shown in Patent Document 1 (Act No. 7-42451). Patent Document 1 further shows that a glove is sewn so as to extend well in the horizontal direction with respect to the vertical direction of the finger. According to Patent Document 1, by doing as described above, the stretch of the stretchable fabric is limited when the hand is put into the glove, and the hand can be put in smoothly.

  By the way, Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-331062) discloses a golf glove that can suppress the twist of the thumb portion (thumb bag).

  Furthermore, in Patent Document 3 (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-155870), a folded piece to be folded toward the upper side is cut integrally with the palm fabric of the thumb bag, and the folded piece is sewn to the upper fabric. Gloves worn are shown.

  In the glove described in Patent Document 1, for example, when gripping a golf club or the like, the back part is difficult to extend in the vertical direction of the finger, and the wearer tends to feel cramped.

  In addition, by repeating the grip operation, the back part extends in the width direction (lateral direction) of the finger, and there is a problem that the size (perimeter length) around the back of the glove gradually increases.

  In the glove described in Patent Document 2, for example, twisting of the thumb portion cannot always be sufficiently suppressed when a golf club swings. As a result of the thumb portion being twisted, a sewing line for sewing the back side of the thumb portion and the abdomen side of the thumb portion is interposed between the finger and the grip, and the wearing feeling is deteriorated.

  Patent Document 3 discloses a glove in which a part of a sewn line is arranged on the side of the thumb upper part among gloves forming a thumb bag by sewing a back member and a palm member. However, since only one continuous sewing line is provided, it is not sufficient for suppressing the twisting of the thumb, and there is a problem in the feeling of wearing because the palm member is overlapped and sewn on the back member.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and one object of the present invention is a glove in which a feeling of cramping at the time of grip is improved and an increase in perimeter is suppressed gradually. Another object of the present invention is to provide a glove in which the twist of the thumb portion is suppressed.

  The present invention relates to a golf glove worn by a golfer, and a sports glove used at the time of other sports mainly involving swing such as baseball and tennis.

  In short, the present invention comprises a glove made of a “stretchable anisotropy” material having a “stretchable direction” and a “difficult direction”, and the above “unstretchable direction” is centered on the middle finger or the center of the thumb. It intersects the line. More specifically, in the back part and the palm part, the above-mentioned “difficult direction” is crossed with respect to the middle finger center line, and in the thumb part, the above “difficult direction” is crossed with respect to the thumb center line. is there.

  In the present specification, “middle finger center line” and “thumb center line” mean the center line of the middle finger and the center line of the thumb, respectively, when gloves are worn. More specifically, the “middle finger center line” means the center line of the middle finger when gloves are worn and four fingers from the index finger to the little finger are closed.

  In one aspect, a golf glove and a sports glove according to the present invention include a back part that comes into contact with at least a part of the back of the wearer's hand and a palm part that comes into contact with at least a part of the wearer's palm.

  In one embodiment of the golf glove and the sports glove, at least the back part is made of a material having stretch anisotropy, and the anisotropic material has a direction in which it is easy to stretch and a direction in which it is difficult to stretch substantially orthogonal. In the back portion, the direction in which the material is difficult to stretch is set to a direction inclined 30 to 60 degrees in the direction in which the tip side of the middle finger approaches the thumb with respect to the center line of the middle finger of the wearer.

  According to the above-described embodiment, by setting a “difficult to stretch direction” in a direction inclined from 30 degrees to 60 degrees in a direction in which the tip side of the middle finger approaches the thumb with respect to the center line of the middle finger of the wearer, for example, a golf club When gripping, for example, the longitudinal direction of each finger of the wearer's index finger to the little finger can be made to substantially coincide with the direction in which the material is easily stretched. Therefore, the back part is easily stretched during gripping, and the back side feeling is reduced.

  In still another embodiment of the golf glove described above, at least the back part and the palm part are made of a stretch anisotropic material, and the anisotropic material has a direction in which it is easy to stretch and a direction in which it is difficult to stretch substantially orthogonal. And the direction in which the recording material is difficult to extend in the back part is set to a direction inclined from 30 degrees to 60 degrees in the direction in which the distal end side of the middle finger approaches the thumb with respect to the center line of the middle finger of the wearer, and the palm part The direction in which the material is difficult to stretch is 30 in the direction in which the distal end side of the middle finger is inclined from 30 degrees to 60 degrees toward the thumb with respect to the center line of the middle finger of the wearer, or in the direction in which the distal end side of the middle finger is away from the thumb. It is set in a direction inclined from 60 degrees to 60 degrees.

According to this embodiment, as described above, it is possible to reduce the tension on the back side and suppress unintended elongation on the palm side .
That is, by setting the “direction in which the tip of the middle finger is inclined from 30 degrees to 60 degrees in the direction in which the tip side of the middle finger moves away from the thumb with respect to the center line of the wearer's middle finger, The elongation of the palm portion accompanying the rotation of the grip can be suppressed. In other words, the head is twisted due to the hitting point at impact and the grip rotates in the palm, and the palm of the glove tends to stretch in the direction of rotation. is there.
On the other hand, by setting a “difficult to stretch direction” in a direction in which the tip end side of the middle finger is inclined from 30 degrees to 60 degrees in a direction approaching the thumb with respect to the center line of the middle finger of the wearer, The elongation of the palm portion can be suppressed. That is, during the swing, the centrifugal force in the direction that the club tries to pull out from the hand acts, and the palm part of the glove tends to easily extend in the direction in which the grip comes out of the palm. It can be suppressed.

  In still another embodiment of the golf glove described above, at least the back part and the palm part are made of a stretch anisotropic material, and the anisotropic material has a direction in which it is easy to stretch and a direction in which it is difficult to stretch substantially orthogonal. In the back part, the direction in which the material is difficult to stretch is set to a direction inclined 30 to 60 degrees in the direction in which the tip side of the middle finger approaches the thumb with respect to the center line of the middle finger of the wearer, and in the palm part The direction in which the material is difficult to stretch is set substantially parallel to the center line of the middle finger of the wearer.

  According to the above-described embodiment, in the back part, by setting the “difficult to extend direction” in a direction inclined from 30 degrees to 60 degrees in the direction in which the distal end side of the middle finger approaches the thumb with respect to the center line of the middle finger of the wearer As described above, it is possible to reduce the tension on the back side. Furthermore, in the palm part, by setting the “extending direction” of the material substantially parallel to the center line of the middle finger of the wearer, the palm side is less likely to extend from the index finger to the longitudinal direction of each of the little fingers. , Easy finger placement when wearing gloves.

Golf gloves and sporting glove according to the present invention, in another aspect, further comprising a thumb portion for receiving the thumb of the wearer. The thumb portion includes a thumb upper portion that contacts the back side of the wearer's thumb and a thumb palm portion that contacts the palm side of the wearer's thumb.

  In one embodiment of the golf glove described above, at least the thumb upper portion is made of a stretch anisotropic material, and the anisotropic material has a direction in which it is easy to stretch and a direction in which it is difficult to stretch substantially orthogonal. In the thumb back, the direction in which the material is difficult to stretch is set to a direction inclined 30 to 60 degrees in the direction in which the tip side of the thumb approaches the index finger with respect to the center line of the thumb.

  In another embodiment of the golf glove described above, at least the thumb palm portion is made of a material having stretch anisotropy, and the anisotropic material has a direction in which it is easy to stretch and a direction in which it is difficult to stretch substantially orthogonal. In the thumb palm, the direction in which the material is difficult to stretch is set to a direction inclined 30 to 60 degrees in the direction in which the tip side of the thumb moves away from the index finger with respect to the center line of the thumb.

  In still another embodiment of the golf glove, at least the thumb and the palm of the thumb are made of a stretch anisotropic material, and the anisotropic material is easy to stretch and difficult to stretch. The directions are substantially orthogonal, and the direction in which the material is difficult to stretch is set to a direction inclined 30 to 60 degrees in the direction in which the tip side of the thumb approaches the index finger with respect to the center line of the thumb, In the thumb palm portion, the direction in which the material is difficult to stretch is set to a direction inclined 30 to 60 degrees in the direction in which the tip side of the thumb moves away from the index finger with respect to the thumb center line.

  According to each of the embodiments described above, the material is set to extend in the direction of twisting of the thumb during swinging by setting the “direction in which it is difficult to stretch” as described above on the stomach side and the back side of the wearer's thumb. A hard thumb can be formed.

  The “twist direction of the thumb” as used herein means a twist in the clockwise direction when viewed from the tip of the thumb if it is a left-handed glove worn by a right-handed golfer, and is worn by a left-handed golfer. In the case of a right hand glove, it means a twist in the counterclockwise direction when viewed from the tip side of the thumb. This twist occurs when the golf club is gripped with both hands, so that the dominant arm presses the thumb of the hand wearing the glove against the index finger side and twists it toward the back side. Further, since the center of gravity of the golf club head is deviated from the shaft axis, a twisting moment generated in the golf club during a swing is transmitted to twist the ventral side of the thumb wearing a glove. In the golf glove according to the present invention, twisting in the above direction is suppressed.

  In still another embodiment of the golf glove, at least the thumb and the palm of the thumb are made of a stretch anisotropic material, and the anisotropic material is easy to stretch and difficult to stretch. The directions are substantially orthogonal, and the direction in which the material is difficult to stretch is set to a direction inclined 30 to 60 degrees in the direction in which the tip side of the thumb approaches the index finger with respect to the center line of the thumb, In the thumb palm portion, the direction in which the material hardly stretches is set to be substantially parallel to the thumb center line.

  According to the above-described embodiment, as described above, twisting of the thumb portion at the time of swing can be suppressed by setting the “direction in which it is difficult to stretch” of the material on the back side of the thumb. Furthermore, the setting of the “difficult to stretch direction” of the material on the ventral side of the thumb makes it difficult for the thumb portion to extend in the longitudinal direction of the thumb.

  In one embodiment of the sports glove, at least the thumb upper part and the thumb palm part are made of a stretch anisotropic material in the thumb part, and the anisotropic material is easily stretched and is not easily stretched. Are substantially orthogonal to each other, and the direction in which the material is difficult to extend is set to a direction substantially orthogonal to the center line of the thumb, and the direction in which the material is difficult to extend in the thumb palm is A direction in which the tip side of the thumb is inclined from 30 degrees to 60 degrees in a direction away from the index finger with respect to the center line is set.

  According to the above-described embodiment, as described above, twisting of the thumb portion during the swing can be suppressed by setting the “direction in which it is difficult to stretch” of the material on the ventral side of the thumb. Furthermore, when the gripper is gripped by crossing the index finger from the index finger almost vertically to the grip target (for example, when grasping a baseball bat), the wearer's back side of the thumb is set to the direction in which the material is difficult to stretch. It is possible to make the longitudinal direction of the thumb substantially coincide with the direction in which the material is easy to stretch. Therefore, the thumb portion is easily extended during gripping, and the thumb is easily bent.

  In still another embodiment of the golf glove described above, a twist suppressing portion that suppresses twisting of the thumb portion is provided on the thumb upper portion. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the twist of the thumb portion more effectively.

  As an example, in a golf glove, the twist suppressing portion extends in a direction inclined 30 to 60 degrees in the direction in which the tip side of the thumb approaches the index finger with respect to the center line of the thumb portion.

  As another example, in a golf glove, the twist suppressing portion extends along a direction in which the material of the thumb upper portion is difficult to stretch.

  The range of “30 degrees to 60 degrees” described above is more preferably a range of “40 degrees to 50 degrees”, and most preferably about 45 degrees.

  According to the present invention, in one aspect, in a glove (golf glove or sports glove), it is possible to improve a feeling of cramping at the time of gripping, and to prevent the peripheral length from gradually increasing. In this aspect, in the glove (golf glove or sports glove), the twist of the thumb portion can be suppressed.

  In addition, although the above-mentioned effect of the present invention can be obtained without adding a member such as a batter, the addition of a member such as a batter also suppresses the expansion of the peripheral length and the thumb portion. A higher effect can be obtained synergistically with respect to the suppression of twisting and the like.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. Note that the same or corresponding portions are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof may not be repeated.

  Note that in the embodiments described below, when referring to the number, amount, and the like, the scope of the present invention is not necessarily limited to the number, amount, and the like unless otherwise specified. In the following embodiments, each component is not necessarily essential for the present invention unless otherwise specified. In addition, unless otherwise specified, the following configurations of (Embodiment 1), (Embodiment 2), (Embodiment 3) and (gloves other than golf) are appropriately combined at the beginning. Scheduled from.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a state where the golf glove according to Embodiment 1 is viewed from the back side of the hand. Referring to FIG. 1, a golf glove 1 according to the present embodiment includes a back part 2 that contacts the back of the wearer's hand, a palm part 3 (see FIG. 3) that contacts the wearer's palm, and the wearer. And a collar 4 sewn on the back 2 and palm 3. Here, “palm” means the inner surface (including fingers) from the wrist, and “back of hand” means the opposite side of the palm.

  The golf glove 1 is formed with a thumb part 10, an index finger part 20, a middle finger part 30, a ring finger part 40, and a little finger part 50 for receiving the wearer's thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger, respectively.

  2 and 3 are views showing a back member 2A and a palm member 3A constituting the back part 2 and the palm part 3 of the golf glove 1, respectively. Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, back member 2 </ b> A and palm member 3 </ b> A constitute the main parts of back portion 2 and palm portion 3 in golf glove 1.

  FIG. 4 is a view showing thumb members 10 </ b> A and 10 </ b> B constituting the thumb portion 10 of the golf glove 1. Referring to FIG. 4, the back side (back side of the finger) of the thumb portion 10 is constituted by a thumb member 10A, and the palm side (finger side of the thumb portion 10) is constituted by a thumb member 10B.

  The example shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 is a left-handed glove worn by a right-handed golfer. Of course, if you are a left-handed golfer, you will have a similar glove on your right.

  The golf glove according to the present embodiment is made of artificial leather or synthetic leather. Artificial leather and synthetic leather have the property (stretch anisotropy) that they are easy to stretch in a specific direction and difficult to stretch in a direction perpendicular thereto.

  The golf glove 1 according to the present embodiment is characterized by the setting of “easy to stretch” and “difficult to stretch” in the back member 2A, palm member 3A, and thumb members 10A and 10B.

  In the present embodiment, the direction is defined by the angle of intersection with the centerline of the finger. 2 and 3, “A” is the center line of the middle finger, and “B” in FIG. 4 is the center line of the thumb. The center line of the middle finger and the center line of the thumb mean the center lines of the bones of each finger when the middle finger and the thumb are extended, as shown in FIG.

  In general, the “easy to stretch” direction and the “unstretchable direction” in artificial leather and synthetic leather are substantially orthogonal to each other. In the present embodiment, for the back member 2A and the palm member 3A, the intersection angle between the center line “A” of the middle finger and the “difficult direction” is defined, and the thumb center line “B” for the thumb portion 10. And the angle of intersection between the “extending direction”.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 11 (a), for the back 2 (back member 2A), the angle at which the tip of the finger is inclined toward the thumb with respect to the center line “A” of the middle finger is defined as “θ1”. In addition, as shown in FIG. 11B, the angle at which the tip of the finger is inclined toward the thumb with respect to the center line “A” of the middle finger is also defined as “θ2” for the palm 3 (palm member 3A). Define.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, regarding the back side of the thumb 10 (the back side of the finger), the angle at which the tip of the finger is inclined toward the index finger with respect to the center line “B” of the thumb is “α1”. In addition, for the palm side (finger ventral side) of the thumb 10, the angle at which the tip of the finger is inclined toward the index finger with respect to the center line “B” of the thumb is defined as “α2”.

  With respect to “θ1”, “θ2”, “α1”, and “α2” defined as described above, the present inventors prepared the following variations as the golf glove 1 according to the present embodiment. In Tables 1 and 2 below, conventional examples are also shown.

  Referring to Table 1, in the conventional example, “θ1” and “θ2” are both 0 degrees, whereas in golf glove 1 according to the present embodiment, “θ1” of back part 2 is It is about 45 degrees. By doing in this way, the above-mentioned “difficult direction” can be made substantially parallel to the axial direction of the shaft during gripping. As a result, at the time of gripping the golf club, the longitudinal direction of each finger of the wearer's index finger to the little finger can be made to substantially coincide with the direction in which the material is easily stretched. Therefore, the back part is easily stretched during gripping, and the feeling of holding on the back side is reduced.

  Furthermore, as shown in Table 1, in the conventional example, “θ2” is also set to 0 degree, whereas in the golf glove 1 according to the present embodiment, when “θ1” is approximately 45 degrees, “Θ2” of the palm 3 is approximately 45 degrees, approximately −45 degrees, or 0 degrees.

  As described above, by setting “θ2” to approximately −45 degrees, it is possible to suppress the elongation of the palm portion accompanying the rotation of the grip in the palm at the time of impact. That is, the head is twisted due to the impact of the hitting point at the time of impact, and the grip rotates in the palm of the head, and the palm portion 3 tends to easily extend in the rotation direction, but this unintended elongation can be suppressed. .

  In addition, by setting “θ2” to approximately 45 degrees, it is possible to set the “direction in which elongation is difficult” so that it is substantially parallel to the axial direction of the shaft during gripping. The accompanying elongation of the palm part 3 can be suppressed. That is, during the swing, a centrifugal force acting in a direction in which the club tries to pull out from the hand acts, and the palm part 3 of the glove tends to easily extend in the direction in which the grip comes out of the palm. Can be suppressed.

  In addition, by setting “θ2” to 0 degree, the palm portion 3 becomes difficult to extend in the longitudinal direction of each finger of the index finger from the index finger, so that it is easy to insert a finger when wearing gloves.

  Referring to Table 2, in the conventional example, “α1” and “α2” are both 0 degrees, whereas in golf glove 1 according to the present embodiment, “α1” on the back side of the thumb is , Approximately 45 degrees. By doing in this way, since it can be set as the structure which is hard to extend in the direction which a twist produces at the time of a swing, the thumb part which cannot be easily extended with respect to the twist direction of the thumb part at the time of a swing can be formed.

  Further, as shown in Table 1, in the conventional example, “α2” is also set to 0 degree, whereas in golf glove 1 according to the present embodiment, thumb when “α1” is approximately 45 degrees. “Α2” on the ventral side is approximately −45 degrees although it may be 0 degrees.

  As described above, by setting “α2” to approximately −45 degrees, it is possible to form a thumb portion that is more difficult to extend with respect to the twisting direction of the thumb portion during the swing. On the other hand, when “α2” is set to 0 degrees as in the conventional case, the thumb portion 10 is less likely to extend in the longitudinal direction, and thus it is easy to insert a finger when wearing gloves.

  In the above example, only the example where the absolute values of “θ1”, “θ2”, “α1”, and “α2” are zero or approximately 45 degrees is shown, but the orientation angle in the “non-stretching direction” is limited to the above values. Should not be done. As a result of the study by the inventors of the present application, as shown in FIG. 9, when the orientation angle is 30 to 60 degrees (more preferably 40 to 50 degrees), the high torsional rigidity is the same as when the orientation angle is about 45 degrees. Is shown. Therefore, the range of the values of “α1” and “α2” can be appropriately changed within a range of about 30 to 60 degrees (more preferably 40 to 50 degrees), for example. Also, “θ1” and “θ2” can be appropriately changed within a range of about 30 to 60 degrees (more preferably 40 to 50 degrees), as described above.

  Note that the torsional rigidity shown in FIG. 9 is calculated on the assumption that the elastic modulus in the “difficult direction” is five times the elastic modulus in the “extended direction”.

  In order to confirm the effect by setting the above “α1” and “α2”, the inventors of the present application have the golf glove 1 according to the present embodiment (α1 = 45 degrees, α2 = −45 degrees), and the related art. The golf gloves (α1 = α2 = 0 degrees) were used and after 1000 trial hits, both gloves were observed while paying attention to the dirt on the tip of the thumb. The results are shown in FIG. 7 (this embodiment) and FIG. 8 (conventional example). 7 and 8 show the tip of the thumb in a glove worn on the right hand by a left-handed golfer.

  Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, both the present embodiment (FIG. 7) and the conventional example (FIG. 8) are contaminated with the ventral portion 101. This adheres when the ventral side of the thumb 10 is pressed against the grip.

  The present embodiment (FIG. 7) and the conventional example (FIG. 8) show different tendencies in the following points. That is, in the present embodiment, the dirt is substantially limited to the ventral part 101 (FIG. 7), whereas in the conventional example, the dirt is sewn from the ventral part 101. The line 103 is greatly protruded to the back portion 102 side beyond the line 103. This is because, in the conventional example (FIG. 8), the torsion of the thumb increases due to repeated hitting, and the dorsal portion 102 is pressed against the grip, whereas in the present embodiment (FIG. 7), this is suppressed. It shows that it is. As shown in FIG. 8, when both the abdomen portion 101 and the back portion 102 are pressed against the grip, a sewing line 103 for sewing them is interposed between the thumb and the grip. , The feeling of wearing gets worse. In the golf glove according to the present embodiment (FIG. 7), deterioration of the wearing feeling due to repeated hitting is suppressed.

(Embodiment 2)
5 and 6 are views showing a main body member constituting the back part and palm part of the golf glove according to Embodiment 2, and a thumb member constituting the thumb part of the golf glove, respectively.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the golf glove 1 according to the present embodiment is a modification of the first embodiment, and the back part 2 and the palm part 3 are integrated members (main body member 1 </ b> A). And the back side and the abdomen side of the finger in the thumb portion 10 are formed by an integral member (thumb member 10C).

  Also in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, it is possible to obtain the above-described effect by setting the “easy to stretch direction” and “the difficult direction to stretch”. However, since the back side and the palm side are formed by an integral member, the above direction cannot be set independently on the back side and the palm side. Therefore, in Table 1, it is realizable only in the example of (theta) 1 = 45 degree | times and (theta) 2 = -45 degree | times, and in Table 2, only the example of (alpha) 1 = 45 degree | times and (alpha) 2 = -45 degree | times.

  Since matters other than those described above are the same as in the first embodiment, detailed description will not be repeated.

(Embodiment 3)
FIG. 14 shows a golf glove according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 14, the golf glove according to the present embodiment is characterized in that stitches 11 (stitches) are provided in the thumb portion along the above-described “difficult direction to stretch”.

  By providing a stitch on the glove body, the glove body is less likely to extend in the direction in which the stitch extends. Therefore, as described above, the twist of the thumb portion can be effectively suppressed by providing the stitch along the “direction in which it is difficult to stretch”. That is, the stitch 11 functions as a “twist suppression unit” that suppresses the twist of the thumb.

  Note that “along the direction in which it is difficult to stretch” means that it is completely parallel to the “direction in which it is difficult to stretch” and slightly intersects the direction in which it is difficult to stretch (specifically, it intersects at an angle of about ± 5 degrees). Including) cases.

  In the example shown in FIG. 14, the stitch 11 is provided so as to avoid the position of the joint of the thumb. The joint part is stretchable when the fingers are bent, and it is easy for the wearer to feel uncomfortable by placing a stitch that is difficult to stretch, so place the stitch away from the joint part as described above. ing.

  In the example shown in FIG. 14, the stitches 11 are relatively densely arranged on the tip side of the wearer's finger and relatively sparsely arranged on the root side of the wearer's finger. From the viewpoint of reducing the uncomfortable feeling felt by the wearer due to the stitches, it is preferable to widen the stitch interval on the root side of the wearer's finger.

  However, from the viewpoint of effectively suppressing the twist of the thumb portion, it is preferable to dispose relatively densely on the root side of the wearer's finger and relatively sparsely on the tip side of the wearer's finger. By doing in this way, since the twist of a base part can be suppressed effectively, it is possible to suppress the twist of the whole thumb part more effectively.

  The stitches 11 are preferably provided so that the ends thereof are located on other stitches from the viewpoint of preventing “fraying”. Therefore, when the stitch 11 is formed, typically, as in the first embodiment (FIG. 4), the thumb portion 10 is formed separately on the back side and the palm side, and the stitch 11 is formed over the entire width of the back portion. To extend. However, as shown in FIG. 15, the stitch 11 can be provided while the back side and the palm side of the thumb portion are formed as an integral member by reciprocating the stitch 11 continuously.

  The “twist suppression unit” that suppresses the twist of the thumb is not limited to the stitch 11 described above. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, a strip-shaped tape 12 is sewn on the thumb portion 10 (sewing line 12A), a thermocompression tape is provided on the thumb portion 10, or a resin print is formed on the thumb portion 10. It is also possible to obtain a “twist suppression part”. That is, it is possible to form a “twisting suppression portion” by stacking a material that is less likely to extend than the glove body member (a member constituting the thumb portion 10) on the thumb portion 10.

  As the tape 12, for example, a nonwoven fabric, a woven fabric including a knitted fabric or a knit can be considered. Thermocompression bonding tapes include thermoplastic resin films, non-woven fabrics, and woven fabrics including woven fabrics and knits, which are impregnated with thermoplastic resins. Use high-frequency welders, ultrasonic welders, etc. to fix them to the thumb bag. . Also, the vulcanized rubber sheet can be heat-sealed. As the resin print, a print using a resin such as polyurethane or silicon can be used.

  In order to confirm the effect of providing the stitches, the inventors of the present application have provided the stitches 11 on the golf glove 1 (α1 = 45 degrees, α2 = −45 degrees) according to the first embodiment described above. (Hereinafter referred to as “glove 1”) and a glove for golf according to the first embodiment (α1 = 45 degrees, α2 = −45 degrees), which is not provided with the stitch 11 (hereinafter referred to as “glove 2”). And a conventional golf glove (α1 = α2 = 0 degrees), and after 150 trial hits, each glove was observed by paying attention to the dirt on the tip of the thumb. The results are shown in FIG. 17 (glove 1), FIG. 18 (glove 2) and FIG. 19 (conventional example). FIGS. 17 to 19 show the tips of the thumbs of the gloves that were worn by the right-handed golfer different from those shown in FIGS.

  Referring to FIGS. 17 to 19, dirt is attached to the ventral portion 101 in all of the gloves 1 (FIG. 17), the gloves 2 (FIG. 18), and the conventional example (FIG. 19). This adheres when the ventral side of the thumb 10 is pressed against the grip.

  Glove 1 (FIG. 17), glove 2 (FIG. 18) and the conventional example (FIG. 19) show different tendencies in the following points. That is, in the glove 1 (FIG. 17), on the finger base side, almost no dirt is seen near the sewing line 103 (A portion in FIG. 17), whereas in the glove 2 (FIG. 18), Some dirt is seen in the same portion (B portion in FIG. 18). Furthermore, in the conventional example, the above-mentioned dirt protrudes not only from the ventral portion 101 but also beyond the sewing line 103 to the dorsal portion 102 side. As described above, both the glove 1 and the glove 2 can suppress the twist of the thumb compared to the glove according to the conventional example, but the glove 1 can suppress the twist more effectively than the glove 2. I understand that.

  The inventors of the present application made 150 trial shots with another golfer using the above-mentioned “Glove 1”, “Glove 2” and the conventional gloves (α1 = α2 = 0 degree), Each glove was observed paying attention to the dirt on the tip. The results are shown in FIG. 20 (glove 1), FIG. 21 (glove 2) and FIG. 22 (conventional example). 20 to 22 show the tip of the thumb of a glove that was worn by a right-handed golfer different from the above-described FIGS.

  Also in the examples shown in FIGS. 20 to 22, the glove 1 (FIG. 20), the glove 2 (FIG. 21), and the conventional example (FIG. 22) are soiled on the ventral portion 101. On the other hand, in the glove 1 (FIG. 20), on the base side of the finger, a portion having no dirt is seen near the sewing line 103 of the abdominal side portion 101 (C portion in FIG. 20). In FIG. 2 (FIG. 21), dirt is attached to the entire ventral portion 101. Further, in the conventional example, the dirt protrudes not only from the ventral portion 101 but also beyond the sewing line 103 to the back portion 102 side (D portion in FIG. 22). 20 to 22, similarly to the examples of FIGS. 17 to 19, both the gloves 1 and 2 can suppress the twist of the thumb compared to the conventional glove. It can be seen that the twist can be more effectively suppressed as compared with the glove 2.

  By the way, the stitch 11 can be expected to exhibit the effect of preventing the twist of the thumb portion independently of the “direction in which the fabric is hardly stretched”. Therefore, the stitch 11 does not necessarily have to extend along the “difficult direction” of the fabric, and the “extending direction” of the fabric and the extending direction of the stitch 11 may intersect with any direction. obtain.

(Non-golf gloves)
The concept of the golf glove 1 according to the first to third embodiments can be applied to sports gloves other than golf.

  For example, when the fingers intersect perpendicularly to the object to be gripped as in baseball, it is conceivable that the above θ1 = 90 degrees and θ2 = 0 degrees. By setting θ1 = 90 degrees, the back side is easily stretched in the longitudinal direction of the finger, so that it is easy to bend the finger and it is possible to suppress the stretch around the back due to repeated use. In addition, on the palm side, it is difficult to extend in the longitudinal direction of the finger, so that finger insertion is easy.

  Also, for example, when the thumb bendability is strongly required as in sports using a racket, α1 = 90 degrees and α2 = 45 degrees can be set, for example. By setting α1 = 90 degrees, the instep side can easily extend in the longitudinal direction of the finger, so that the finger of the thumb can be easily bent. On the other hand, by setting α2 = 45 degrees, it can contribute to the improvement of the torsional rigidity described above.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the embodiments disclosed this time should be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
