Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the forms shown in the accompanying drawings and includes all embodiments satisfying the requirements described in the claims. ..

FIG. 1 shows a baseball glove 1A according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The baseball glove 1A has one or more fingers on the instep side and put out from the inside to the outside in a used state. What is claimed is: 1. A ball catching tool, comprising: a hole 2 capable of being formed, and a belt-shaped heli leather 3 that covers and protects at least a part of the edge of the hole 2, the heli leather being provided on the fingertip side of the edge of the hole 2. In place of 3, a separate sheet-shaped member is covered along the peripheral edge portion of the hole 2 to be protected without being folded back at the outer peripheral edge portion 5 of the hole 2, and the finger pad protection portion 4 is not bulky. Is formed. Here, the peripheral portion 5 refers to a portion near the edge of the hole 2 having a constant width including the edge of the hole 2.

The baseball glove 1 is a glove for a general infielder, and holes 2 are provided at the fingertip side of the belt, and the flat leather 9 can be seen from the holes. Since the hole 2 is configured to be wide across the finger bags 10, 10, 10 of the index finger, the middle finger, and the ring finger, one corresponding finger can be selected according to the preference of the user. Alternatively, two fingers can be brought out. For example, put the index finger out from the hole 2 and apply it to a baseball glove along the finger bag 10 for the index finger and the finger rest protection part 4, or use the finger bag 10 for the little finger with two little fingers and the ring finger. In the inserted state, the index finger can be taken out from the hole 2 and applied to the baseball glove 1 along the finger bag 10 for the middle finger and the finger contact protection portion 4 for use.

The edge of the hole 2 is covered with a finger rest protection portion 4 on the fingertip side, and is covered with a heli leather 3 on the other portions. Therefore, the switching line 11 appears at the switching portion between the finger contact protection portion 4 and the heli leather 3. In this switching portion, the edges of the hole 2 are protected by configuring the both ends of the finger contact protection part 4 so as to cover the ends of the heli leather 3 slightly. By covering the ends of the heli leather 3 on both ends of the helicopter leather 3, it is possible to secure the finger-protection part 4 more securely, and by not covering these at all, it is refreshing. It may be possible to obtain an appearance.

The finger rest protection portion 4 is sewn along the glove body along the peripheral edge portion 5 of the hole 2 and is not so bulky as shown in FIG. 1(b). It doesn't hurt. Since the finger contact protection portion 4 is not folded back at the peripheral edge portion 5, the finger contact protection portion 4 can be flexed with sufficient flexibility when the finger is brought into contact therewith, and the burden on the contacting finger is reduced. ing. On the other hand, in the conventional baseball glove, as shown in FIG. 6(b), the helicopter leather is folded back and sewn at the peripheral edge of the hole to protect the end portion and improve the design. The rising portion increases the strength in the outer vertical direction, and the finger that has come out to the outside catches the rising portion and catches the ball, thereby damaging the finger. That is, the finger-contact protection unit 4 has no rising portion or the rising portion is kept low, so that there is no possibility of damaging the finger unlike the conventional baseball glove 100. Further, the finger contact protection portion 4 can be set as a portion which is the same as or wider than other heli leather, and the rising portions and the width dimension thereof are the same in the other embodiments described below.

Further, the finger contact protection portion 4 has an extension portion 6 that extends widely on the fingertip side. Since the extension portion 6 is integrally provided as a part of the finger contact protection portion 4, the finger contact protection portion 4 forms a flat outer surface including the extension portion 6. Since the extending portion 6 is formed to be flat, the abutting force of the finger applied thereto can be widely distributed and substantially evenly distributed, and the load on the finger can be further reduced. Further, since the extension portion 6 has substantially the same width dimension as the finger contact protection portion, it is possible to select the finger to be put out to the outside according to the user's preference and to select the position to which the put out finger is applied.

The finger contact protection portion 4 is sewn to the glove body with two parallel sewing threads 7, 7, 7a, 7a. The peripheral edge portion 5 of the finger contact protection portion 4 is sewn with two sewing threads 7a, 7a along the outer edge of the peripheral edge portion 5 in the same manner as the heli leather, and the extension portion 6 is sewn along the outer edge thereof. It is sewn with the sewing threads 7, 7. These sewing threads 7 and 7a go straight to the finger to be applied along the edge of the hole or the peripheral portion 5, so that the effect of improving the catching of the finger to be applied works and the operability of the baseball glove 1 is further improved. It will be improved. In particular, the two sewing threads 7, 7 along the outer edge of the peripheral edge portion 5 are located near the fingertips, so that they are more effective as hooks.

As shown in FIG. 1( c ), in the finger contact protection part 4, one leather sheet 12 is cut out so as to form the peripheral edge part 5 and the extension part 6, and this is the edge of the hole 2 on the fingertip side. It is composed by being sewn so as to cover. Therefore, by changing the cutout shape, the shape of the peripheral edge portion 5 and the presence or absence of the extension portion 6 can be adjusted, and for a baseball provided with the finger contact protection portion 4 according to the user's preference. The globe 1 can be manufactured easily and quickly.

FIG. 2 shows a baseball glove 1A according to the second embodiment of the present invention. This baseball glove 1A has a finger contact protection portion 4A in which a peripheral portion 5 and an extension portion 6 are formed separately. Therefore, it is possible to easily adjust the presence or absence of the extending portion 6, the shape, and the maintenance. In addition, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2B, the outer peripheral surfaces of the peripheral portion 5 and the extending portion 6 are formed to be substantially the same, and the outer surfaces of the peripheral portion 5 and the extending portion 6 are formed to be flat. Although the same effect as that of the embodiment can be obtained, the thickness dimension is not limited to such a configuration, and the extension portion 6 is thicker than the peripheral portion 5, for example. By doing so, the force on the fingertip side of the applied finger may be easily transmitted to the baseball glove.

FIG. 3 shows a baseball glove 1B according to the third embodiment of the present invention. In this baseball glove 1B, the finger contact protection part 4B is formed as a part of the seat member by forming a seat member forming a part of the back side of the ball catching tool main body by extending to the wrist side. It has been done. With such a configuration, since there is no risk of the peripheral edge portion 5 coming off, the sewing thread 7B for sewing this portion can also be configured with one thread. Further, in the present embodiment, since all the parts to which the fingers are applied are made of one sheet of leather, the fit of the fingers is further enhanced.

FIG. 4 shows a baseball glove 1C according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. The baseball glove 1C is configured such that the finger rest protection portion 4C has no extending portion. Therefore, the structure is similar to that of a conventional baseball glove and does not damage the fingers to the outside. In other words, the user can use the finger including the finger projected from the hole 2 to the outside with a feeling similar to that of a conventional baseball glove.

FIG. 5 shows a baseball glove 1D according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. This baseball glove 1D is configured to have no extending portion similarly to the above-described fourth embodiment, but in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. The end of the hole 2 is folded back at a position separated from the hole 2 by a certain distance. That is, by folding back on the fingertip side with respect to the peripheral edge portion 5 of the hole 2, the effect of not damaging the finger can be obtained as in the other embodiments described above, and the fingertip protection portion can be protected by protecting the end portion. It is also possible to protect the leather member constituting 4D. Here, this folding back needs to be performed at least on the fingertip side of the heli leather 3. Further, inside the folded portion, a sewing thread 7D for arranging the leather member along the glove body is provided so as not to make the finger contact protection portion 4D bulky. The sewing thread 7D minimizes the rising of the end portion of the finger contact protection portion 4D due to the folded back portion, and the position is set closer to the fingertip side than the peripheral edge portion 5, so that the finger applied to this portion is damaged. It is not there.

In each of the above-mentioned embodiments, as the baseball catching tool, the baseball glove mainly used by the infielder has been illustrated and described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be a ball catching tool used for other baseball. It may be glove for outfielder, first mitt, or catcher mitt. Further, the finger contact protection portion may be provided integrally with another heli leather so as to reduce the number of parts, and for example, a protrusion protruding outward is provided on one side of a part of the belt-shaped seat leather, A seat leather may be attached to the hole so that the convex portion serves as the finger contact protection portion.

The structure of the baseball glove according to the second to fifth embodiments is the same as that of the first embodiment, and the same structures are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.
