Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a golf glove which gives ideal gripping, which may be mass-produced at a low cost, and which has high durability and comfortability. CONSTITUTION:The back part 2, rather than the palm part, of a glove is sewn of elastic sheet fabric. As sheet fabric for the part of the back part 2 positioned in the finger part of the glove, an elastic two-way tricot knitted with elastic rubber yarns is used, and the palm part 1 is made of leather. The two-way tricot for the back part 2 is sewn so that it stretches larger crosswise of a finger when the finger stretches out longitudinally thereof. Accordingly, when the finger is bent, the width of the two-way tricot fabric is enlarged so that the grip of a golf club can be surely gripped with a weak gripping force in a nearly bare hand condition. The glove may be sewn simply at a low cost, and may be used comfortably with high durability and breathability.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to improvements in gloves used for golf.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Golf gloves are used to protect the grip of a golf club by holding it firmly so that it does not slip. The currently used golf gloves are made by cutting leather from the palm, back and gusset. This glove requires extra grip to hold the golf club firmly. This is because the leather forming the gloves cannot be freely deformed. Golf gloves are sewn from high-quality thin and flexible leather so that you can grip the club securely with the least amount of grip. Therefore, the gloves for golf have a drawback that the raw material cost is extremely high and the gloves cannot be manufactured inexpensively. In addition, soft leather has the drawback of not being durable and being extremely fragile.

In order to solve this drawback, a glove for golf which can be used with a weak grip is described in the following publication. Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-79175 Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-151776 Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-25177

The glove for golf described in the above publication is
Stretchable material is used for the gusset, which is the boundary connecting the palm and the instep. That is, this glove has elasticity between the palm part and the instep part to facilitate gripping.

The glove for golf described in the above publication is
The palm part and the gusset part are made of non-stretchable fabric, and the other parts are sewn using stretchable fabric. This glove also has an instep that stretches easily for easy grip.

Further, in the golf glove described in the above publication, the fingers are sewn so as to bend toward the palm side to make it easy to grip.

[0007]

The golf gloves described in these publications can be gripped with a weak force as compared with currently used gloves, that is, gloves entirely sewn with leather. .. However, the golf glove described in this publication can be gripped with a slightly weaker force as compared with the conventional glove, but the grip cannot be gripped so reliably. This is because the stretchability of the sheet material of the palm and the instep does not change.

The glove described in the above publication can grip the club with a weaker force as compared with the glove disclosed in the above publication. However, the glove having this structure has a drawback that the back part is stretched and a finger cannot be smoothly inserted when the hand is put in. Further, since the instep portion and the palm portion have different elasticity, there is a drawback that the palm portion is likely to lose its shape in a contracted state. This drawback can be reduced by reducing the stretchability of the sheet material used for the upper part. However, if the elasticity of the upper part is reduced, it becomes difficult to hold the grip securely because it approaches a glove sewn entirely with leather. It is ideal for golf gloves to be able to grip the grip with a feel similar to bare hands and to protect the hands.

Further, golf gloves using an elastic material for the upper part have a drawback that they require a high technique for sewing and are difficult to mass-produce at low cost. The reason is that the stretchable fabric and the non-stretchable leather are sewn. When sewing two sheet materials with a sewing machine, the sheet material is fed into the sewing machine in a slightly stretched state. This is because the seat material is sewn so that wrinkles cannot occur. At this time, when the stretchability of the two sheets is different, the stretchable fabric is stretched and the non-stretchable fabric is sewn in a state where it is not stretched. The glove sewn in this state has a drawback that the stretchable fabric is pulled and the fingers bend to the instep side. When the stretchable cloth and the non-stretchable cloth are sewn, the stretchable cloth is sent to the sewing machine without being pulled, so that an extremely advanced sewing technique is required. This drawback also
It can be solved by using a sheet material that does not easily expand and contract on the instep. However, this results in a reduction in the grip feeling, which is extremely important for golf gloves.

Furthermore, the glove of this structure has a drawback that the sewn portion between the stretchable cloth and the non-stretchable leather such as leather is easily broken. The reason is that when a tensile force acts on the boundary between the stretchable fabric and the non-stretchable fabric, the force cannot be dispersed uniformly, and a strong force locally acts.

Further, the glove described in the above publication has a feature that a beautiful glove can be manufactured by using leather, but the glove having this structure is not a material whose fingers are easily bent. It has the drawback that it cannot hold the grip with a weak force.

Furthermore, in the gloves having the structures shown by (1) to (3), sheet materials of different materials are sewn together, or fingers are three-dimensionally curved and sewn together, so that the sewing process is troublesome and the manufacturing cost is high. there were.

The present invention was developed for the purpose of solving the drawbacks of these conventional golf gloves, and an important object of the present invention is to realize an ideal feel as a golf glove. Nevertheless, it is an object of the present invention to provide a golf glove that can be mass-produced easily and easily at low cost. Another important object of the present invention is to provide a glove for golf which can be put into the hand smoothly and has a durable and beautiful design.

[0014]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the golf glove of the present invention has the following constitution. That is, the golf glove of the present invention is an improved glove that uses a stretchable sheet material for the instep portion 2 rather than the palm portion 1.

At least the seat portion of the instep portion 2 located on the finger portion is made of a two-weight ricott elastic fabric braided with rubber elastic yarn, and the seat portion of the palm portion 1 is made of leather. Further, the two-weight ricotte of the instep portion 2 is sewn so that the lateral extension of the finger is larger than the longitudinal extension of the finger.

[0016]

In the golf glove of the present invention, the elastic fabric of the instep part 2 uses the two-weight ricott. Two-weight ricottes have markedly different stretchability in the machine direction and the transverse direction, and have the property of stretching about 240% in the machine direction.
In the golf glove of the present invention, the two-weight ricotte is sewn so as to extend well in the lateral direction with respect to the longitudinal direction of the finger. The two-weight ricot, which stretches well in this direction, has limited elasticity when putting your hand in, so you can put your hand in smoothly. When gripping the grip, since it flexibly expands and contracts in the lateral direction, the fingers can be bent easily and can be gripped securely.

The reason why the upper part of the finger extends in the lateral direction and the grip can be securely gripped with a weak force is that when the finger is bent, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. This is because the width of the finger becomes wider and wraps around the finger. The two-weight ricott, which spreads laterally around the back of the finger, covers the outside of the finger with a wider area that allows easy stretch. That is, a wider area of the extending portion becomes a two-weight ricott which is a stretchable material, and the finger can be smoothly bent. Further, the two-weight ricotte whose lateral width is expanded to the position of the chain line B in FIG. 1 has less elongation when the finger is bent, as compared with the central portion shown by the chain line B. The tensile force of a two-weight ricott is
Proportional to elongation according to Hooke's law. Being able to bend a finger with less elongation means that the two-weight ricot has a weaker pulling force, which allows the finger to be bent with a weaker force.

In the golf glove of the present invention, the fingers are smoothly bent by making it easy to stretch laterally. Therefore, the stretch of the stretchable fabric in the vertical direction can be reduced, and the grip can be reliably gripped in a state close to a bare hand.

[0019]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, the examples shown below are examples of golf gloves for embodying the technical idea of the present invention, and the golf gloves of the present invention are made of materials, shapes, and structures of components. The arrangement is not specific to the structure below. The golf glove of the present invention can be modified in various ways within the scope of the claims.

Further, in this specification, for easier understanding of the claims, the numbers corresponding to the members shown in the embodiments are referred to as "claims" and "means for solving the problems." It is added to the members shown in "Column". However, the members shown in the claims are not limited to the members of the embodiment.

The golf gloves shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 are manufactured by sewing the sheet material of the palm portion 1, the instep portion 2 and the gusset portion 3.

As the sheet material of the palm portion 1, natural or synthetic leather cut into a predetermined shape is used.

The seat material of the instep 2 is made of a two-weight ricott elastic material. The two-weight ricotte is cut so that the lateral extension is larger than the longitudinal extension of the finger. Figure 5 is a two-weight ricott 4
The state in which the sheet material of the instep 2 is cut is shown. As shown in this figure, the two-weight ricotte 4 extends remarkably well in the longitudinal direction as compared with the lateral direction of the cloth. The elongation in the longitudinal direction is about 240%.

A gusset portion 3 provided between the instep portion 2 and the palm portion 1
The leather is used similarly to the palm part 1. However, gusset part 3
It is also possible to use a stretchable fabric.

The sheet materials of the palm portion 1 and the gusset portion 3 are bent inward and sewn, as shown in FIG. With the fingers, the instep part 2 is sewn on the gusset part 3 in a wrapped state.
The upper part 2 and the palm part 1 are sewn on the outer periphery of the glove, and this part, like the palm part 1 and the gusset part 3, is bent inward at the sewing edge of the upper part 2 and the palm part 1. And sew.

In the glove shown in FIG. 4, leather is sewn on the lower part of the upper 2 which does not extend when the fingers are bent. The glove of this structure has a feature that the lower part of the upper part 2 is hard to stretch and it is easy to put a hand.

[0027]

EFFECT OF THE INVENTION The golf glove of the present invention has a feature that it can grip the grip of a golf club with a very weak grip force and in a state close to a bare hand. This feature is realized by using a two-weight cot in the seat material of the instep, and sewing the two-weight cot in a state in which the two-weight cot is stretched more easily in the lateral direction than in the longitudinal direction of the finger. The two-weight ricott, which easily extends in the lateral direction of the finger, widens when the finger is bent. The two-weight ricott, which has become wider,
It covers a wider area of the back of the finger. When the back part of the finger is made of a stretchable material in a wide range, the finger is easily bent, and the grip can be gripped with a weak gripping force. further,
On both sides of the widened two-weight ricotte, the elongation in the bent state of the finger is reduced, and the longitudinal pulling force of the finger proportional to the elongation is weakened to weaken the bending force of the finger. Therefore, the golf glove of the present invention has the features that the fingers are easily bent and the grip can be reliably gripped with a weak gripping force.

Further, the golf glove of the present invention has a feature that it can be easily and easily mass-produced inexpensively at a low cost without requiring advanced sewing technology, even though the grip of the golf club is easily gripped. This is because the stretch of the stretchable fabric is limited in the longitudinal direction to realize the ideal characteristics as a golf glove, and thus the stretch of the stretchable fabric can be reduced when sewing.

Furthermore, the glove which does not easily stretch in the longitudinal direction of the fingers has the feature that it is easy to put in the hand and is durable and tough.

Furthermore, the two-weight ricott used for the upper part has better breathability than leather, and has the feature that it can be used comfortably with less stuffiness without opening ventilation holes.
