(composition)
First, the overall structure of a sports glove 1 according to the present invention will be explained using FIG. The sports glove 1 of the present invention is made of a material such as leather, synthetic leather, or synthetic fiber, and as shown in FIGS. It includes a base portion 30 that accommodates the palm, and a first weight portion 51 attached to the back side 31 of the base portion 30 at positions corresponding to the fourth to fifth metacarpal bones.

The five finger parts 21 to 25 are composed of finger parts 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25 that accommodate the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger, respectively. Each of the finger parts 21 to 25 is formed into a cylindrical or bag-like shape with a closed end, and has different lengths.

The base portion 30 has a cylindrical shape that accommodates the back side 31 and palm side 32 of the hand. A first weight portion 51 is attached to the back side 31 of the base portion 30 of this embodiment at a position corresponding to the fourth to fifth metacarpal bones. In other words, the first weight portion 51 is disposed near the edge of the base portion 30 on the back side 31 of the hand, closest to the grip end on the little finger side. Note that the detailed structure of the first weight portion 51 will be described later with reference to FIG. 4.

Furthermore, the sports glove 1 has a back belt portion 41 that tightens the back side 31 of the base portion 30. This buckle belt part 41 has a hook-and-loop fastener 41M arranged on the inner surface, and a hook-and-loop fastener 30M arranged at a position corresponding to the second metacarpal bone to the third metacarpal bone on the back side 31 of the base body part 30; They are designed to be engaged and fixed with each other. When the back belt section 41 is closed, the first weight section 51 is covered.

The back belt portion 41 has a display portion 41a on its surface (outer surface) on which photographs, pictures, characters, etc. can be displayed. More specifically, the back belt section 41 includes a display section 41a and a cover section 41b that covers the display section 41a. The display section 41a is shaped like a pass case, and if a photo or message card is stored in the thin case, it can be seen from the outside through the transparent section, which can lift your spirits or calm you down during a competition. It is now possible to

The sports glove 1 also includes a wrist portion 60 that is continuous with the base portion 30 and is integral with the base portion 30 and accommodates the wrist. In the wrist part 60, a second weight part 52 is arranged at a position corresponding to the outer side of the wrist (on the back side), and a third weight part 53 is arranged at a position corresponding to the inner side of the wrist (palm side). ing. The configurations of the second weight portion 52 and the third weight portion 53 will be described later.

The sports glove 1 of this embodiment further includes a wrist belt section 42 that tightens the wrist, and the wrist belt section 42 covers the second weight section 52 and the third weight section 53. That is, the width (vertical width) of the wrist belt portion 42 is approximately the same as that of the wrist portion 60, and the length of the wrist belt portion 42 is approximately three times the length (width) of the wrist portion 60. Furthermore, a hook-and-loop fastener 42M is arranged on the inner surface of the wrist belt section 42, and is made to go around the wrist to cover the weight sections 52 and 53, and is finally fixed on the outside.

Next, the configurations of the first weight part 51, the second weight part 52, and the third weight part 53, which have similar structures, will be explained using FIG. 4. These weight portions 51, 52, 53 are constructed in the shape of an openable and closable bag, and are capable of storing a plurality of lead plates 51c, . . . inside. That is, the first weight part 51 is composed of a bag 51a, an openable/closeable fastener 51b, and one or more lead plates 51c, . . . .

Therefore, by sliding the fastener 51b, opening the bag 51a, and taking out and putting in the lead plates 51c, etc., the weights of the three weight parts 51, 52, 53 in the sports glove 1 can be freely adjusted. This makes it possible. Furthermore, by tightening the weight parts 51, 52, 53 from the outside with the back belt part 41 and the wrist belt part 42 described above, it is possible to protect the hands from external injury while improving the integrity with the sports glove 1.

<Experiment 1: Baseball swing>

(Experimental conditions)
Each of them swung the bat 50 times as a right-handed batter, and the speed was measured using a speed measuring device. I didn't hit the ball. Compare cases 1 to 3 below.
Case 1: Both hands bare hands Case 2: Left hand wearing sports gloves (first weight part 45g only); right hand bare hand Case 3: Left hand wearing sports gloves (first weight part 45g, second weight part 30g, third weight part 30g) ); right hand bare hand

(result)
Case 1: 79-84km/h
Case 2: 85-87km/h
Case 3: 87-94km/h

(Consideration)
In case 2, wearing sports gloves (first weight part 45g only) on the left hand is better than swinging with both hands barehanded. A faster swing speed was measured in Case 3, which was equipped with a weight of 30 g. Also, in Cases 2 and 3, I felt that I could swing through the ball stably until the end without any fluctuation in the swing path.

<Experiment 2: Golf swing>

(Experimental conditions)
Using a golf simulation device, 20 balls each were hit with a driver and measured. Compare Cases 1 and 2 below.
Case 1: Wearing sports gloves on left hand (no weight), right hand bare hand Case 2: Wearing sports gloves on left hand (with weight), right hand bare hand Case 2: With weight, the first weight is 45g, the second weight is part 30g, third weight part 30g

(result)
Case 1: Average launch ball speed 47 meters per second (169 km/h)
Case 2: Average launch ball speed 54 m/s (194 km/h)

(Consideration)
The ball speed when wearing sports gloves 1 (with weights) was approximately 14% higher than when wearing no weights. Furthermore, by stabilizing the swing trajectory, it is possible to more reliably hit the ball with the center of the club head, improving both distance and direction.

(effect)
Next, the effects of the sports glove 1 of this embodiment will be listed and explained.

(1) As described above, the sports glove 1 of this embodiment includes the base body part 30 that accommodates the five finger parts 21 to 25, the back side 31 of the hand and the palm side 32, and the back of the base body part 30. The first weight portion 51 is attached to the side 31 at a position corresponding to the fourth metacarpal bone 94 to the fifth metacarpal bone 95. With this configuration, when swinging down a golf club or bat, it can be started quickly and the swing speed can be improved. In other words, you can use the weight's gravity to make your swing faster and hit harder.

(2) It further includes a wrist part 60 that accommodates the wrist, and a second weight part 52 that is attached to the wrist part 60 at a position corresponding to the outside of the wrist. For this reason, the overall weight increases, and the trajectory (center of gravity) is now in two places: the trajectory of the bat and the trajectory inside the bat (wrist), which allows for stable turning movement and allows for more inward guidance during the swing. Improves speed.

(3) Furthermore, by providing the third weight portion 53 attached to the wrist portion 60 at a position corresponding to the inside of the wrist, the overall weight can be further increased, and the trajectory of the inside (wrist) of the bat can be further improved. Since it becomes possible to propel the ball strongly, the swing speed further improves.

That is, as shown in FIG. 5, a first weight part 51 is arranged integrally with the grip end portion of the bat B, a second weight part 52 is arranged on the outside of the wrist, and a third weight part 53 is arranged on the inside of the wrist. By doing so, the trajectory of the wrist can guide the trajectory of the bat more inward and more strongly while promoting the trajectory of the bat. Therefore, the swing speed is improved by the puller pulling the swing along these two trajectories.

(4) Moreover, the first weight part 51, the second weight part 52, and the third weight part 53 are configured in the shape of a bag that can be opened and closed, and inside there are a plurality of lead plates 51c,... (52c, 53c) can be stored, so the swing trajectory can be optimized for each wearer by changing the weight and adjusting the center of gravity of the trajectory according to preferences and physical characteristics. .

(5) Furthermore, a back belt part 41 that tightens the back side 31 of the base part 30 is further provided, and the first weight part 51 is covered by this back belt part 41, so that the first weight part 51 is protected. Not only that, but it can be integrated with the back of the hand. It will also prevent further injury.

(6) In addition, by further having a display section 41a on the surface of the back belt section 41, the wearer (player) can increase motivation and relieve tension by viewing photos and text up close while playing. You can

(7) Furthermore, since the wrist belt part 42 that tightens the wrist is provided, and the second weight part 52 and the third weight part 53 are covered by the wrist belt part 42, the second weight part 52 and the third weight part 53 are Not only can the part 53 be protected, but it can also be integrated with the wrist. It will also prevent further injury.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above in detail with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and design changes that do not depart from the gist of the present invention may be made to the present invention. included.
