Description

  The present invention relates to a sports glove used for gripping a bat or a club such as baseball or golf.

  Batting gloves used for gripping the bat are for preventing the hand and the bat from slipping when swinging, and are made of natural leather, artificial leather or synthetic leather.

  Such sports gloves are naturally preferred to have good fit with the hand and good grip when gripping.

  The fit and grip of sports gloves are more demanding for advanced players such as professional athletes.

  By the way, materials such as natural leather, artificial leather, and synthetic leather are flexible, but they are less stretched, so when gripping a bat or club, the glove fabric does not follow the stretch of the hand and fits. A feeling of discomfort tends to occur in the feeling and grip.

  Conventionally, gloves that have been stretched partially in areas with large bends, such as finger joints, to improve the fit with the hand in order to assist the growth of materials such as natural leather, artificial leather, and synthetic leather (Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2).

  By the way, not only in baseball, but in sports in which a hitting tool or a similar stick-like object is gripped, it is important to hold firmly with a little finger or a ring finger.

  However, when wearing a conventional sports glove and firmly grasping the bat etc. with the little finger or ring finger, the side of the back of the hand on the little finger swells greatly, the glove cannot follow this bulge, and it seems that it was grasped with bare hands I couldn't get a fit.

  In addition, since conventional sports gloves are made of materials such as natural leather, artificial leather, and synthetic leather that do not stretch easily, a slit-shaped mouth is provided on the little finger side of the back of the hand for easy attachment / detachment. There are many cases.

  As described above, when the slit-shaped mouth is provided on the little finger side of the back of the hand, there is a problem that the seam of the mouth further reduces the fit with the hand.

    Therefore, the present invention is similar to the case where the back of the hand of the glove follows the bulge and the back of the glove is gripped with a bare hand even when the side of the back of the hand on the little finger swells greatly when holding the bat etc. firmly with the little finger or ring finger It is an object of the present invention to provide sports gloves that can provide a good fit and grip.

  The inventors of the present invention investigated the distortion state of the hand when the bat or the like was firmly held with the little finger or the ring finger, using a non-contact type strain distribution measuring instrument. As a result, it was found that the fit and grip of the glove were hindered by this distortion.

Based on this knowledge, the present inventors, when forming a glove with a material with low elongation such as natural leather, artificial leather, or synthetic leather, arranges a stretch material at least in a region covering the little abductor muscle of the back part. Thus, when the butt etc. are firmly grasped with the little finger or ring finger, even if the side part of the back of the hand on the little finger swells greatly, the stretch material arranged in the area covering the little finger abductor muscles follows this bulge, They found that the same fit and grip as when grasping with bare hands was obtained.

  The stretch material is a region covering the dorsal interosseous muscle between the first metacarpal bone and the second metacarpal bone of the back, in addition to the region covering the little finger abductor, the second to fifth middle hands of the hand You may arrange | position in the area | region etc. which cover the head part of a bone head.

  The slit-shaped mouth is preferably provided on the thumb side rather than the little finger side of the upper.

  The sports glove according to the present invention has a side surface of the back of the hand on the little finger side when the butt or the like is firmly grasped with the little finger or the ring finger by arranging a stretch material at least in the region covering the little finger abductor of the back part. Even if the portion swells greatly, the stretch material arranged in the region covering the little finger abductor muscles follows this bulge, so that the same fit and grip as when grasped with bare hands can be obtained.
