Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a ball catching tool such as a baseball, a softball glove, and a mitt. More specifically, the web stretched between the thumb insertion part and the index finger insertion part is provided with a bending means to catch the ball. It relates to baseball and softball catching tools that are made easier to play.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, there are various types of webs stretched over the catching surface of a catching tool such as a baseball, softball glove, and mitt, and the catching web is caught between the thumb insertion part and the index finger insertion part. It is attached in a state of being curved inward when viewed from the plane so that it can be easily balled.

That is, for example, the horizontal tape-shaped leather 6 of the cross web 4 as shown in FIG. 6 is obtained by folding back the upper and lower ends of a belt-shaped piece of leather to the back side and sewing the folded back pieces 6a and 6b. 5 is sewn to form a double layer, and the vertical tape-shaped leather 8 is formed by stacking two pieces of leather on each other and sewing both side edges with sewing threads 7.

By the way, it is basically a ball catching surface that catches the ball, that is, the palm part catches the ball, but if the ball is caught by the palm part, a large shock is applied to the hand, so the ball is slightly displaced from the catching surface. , It is usual to catch the ball at the base of the index finger or near the crotch of the finger near the web.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, when catching high pitched balls or hitting balls, there are times when it is unavoidable to catch them with the web. However, the web is very hard due to the double structure of folded leather as described above, the inward flexibility is poor, and the ball cannot be grasped reliably at the time of catching, and fumbles or falls. There was fear.

The present invention has been researched and developed with a view to solving such a problem, and by performing a simple processing on the web, the web is easily bent inward so that the ball is wrapped. It provides a catching tool for baseball and softball such as glove and mitt that can surely catch a ball.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 As a means for solving the above problems and achieving the object, in the present invention, in a web stretched between a thumb insertion portion and an index finger insertion portion of a ball catching body, the web is bent inward. We have developed and adopted a ball catching tool for baseball and softball that has a bending means that makes it easier to play.

Further, in the present invention, the baseball and softball ball catching device configured as described above is characterized in that a plurality of small holes as bending means are formed on the catching surface side of the web. Baseball and softball ball catching device, and a plurality of baseball and softball ball catching devices, characterized in that a plurality of substantially V-shaped cuts facing in the lateral direction are provided as bending means on the back side of the web. We developed and adopted a ball catching tool for baseball and softball in which the V-shaped cut is engraved in the left and right directions with the center part in the width direction as the boundary.

[0009]

[Action]

 The bending means 9 and 10 increase the flexibility of the web 4, improve the flexibility in the direction of catching the ball when catching the ball, catch the ball so as to wrap it, and eliminate the possibility of fumble or falling.

[0010]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a body of a catching tool such as a glove or mitt, 2 is a thumb insertion portion, 3 is an index finger insertion portion, 4 is a thumb insertion portion 2 The cross web is stretched between the index finger insertion part 3 and the index finger insertion part 3.

The web 4 is formed by bending the upper and lower edges of one piece of leather to the back side and folding back pieces 6 a and 6 b thereof with sewing thread 5 to form horizontal tape-shaped leather 6, 6 and two pieces of leather. It is composed of a vertical tape-shaped leather 8 in which both side edges are sewn with sewing threads 7, and the tip 8a of the vertical tape-shaped leather 8 is It is inserted inside and sewn together to be integrated.

A large number of small holes 9 are formed at regular intervals along the lower edge of the horizontal tape-shaped leather 6 on the upper side of the catching surface side 4a of the web 4, and the horizontal tape-shaped leather on the lower side is formed. A large number of small holes 9 are formed on the upper and lower edges 6 at regular intervals. Similarly, the vertical tape-shaped leather 8 is also provided with a large number of small holes 9 at regular intervals in the vertical direction. On the other hand, V-shaped cuts 10 oriented in the lateral direction of the horizontal tape-shaped leather 6 are engraved on the folding pieces 6a, 6b on the back side 4b of the web 4. The lateral V-shaped cut 10 is formed in the left-right direction with the vertical tape-shaped leather 8 as a boundary. Reference numeral 11 denotes a hole for a binding cord formed in the upper horizontal tape-shaped leather 6.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the cross web is explained, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it can be used for various webs such as Len's cross web, double cross web, web grape web, one-piece web, short web. Of course, you can Further, although the small hole 9 of the bending means has been described as a circular shape, it may be an elliptical shape or an oval shape. Furthermore, although the cut 10 has been described as having a lateral V-shape, it is not limited to this shape and may have a lateral U-shape.

[0014]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the baseball and softball ball catching device of the present invention, in the web stretched between the thumb insertion part and the index finger insertion part of the ball catching device main body, the webbing is curved inward. Since it is configured with a bending means that makes it easier to catch, the web easily bends inward to catch the ball and wraps the ball, and the contact surface with the ball increases and fumble and falling balls can be prevented. .

Further, since a plurality of small holes as bending means are formed on the catching surface side of the web, the web is bent from each of the small holes to be easily bent inward, and at the same time, the ball is bent. The rotation can be stopped quickly and the ball can be caught reliably.

Further, since a substantially V-shaped cut facing in the lateral direction is provided on the back side of the web as a bending means, the cut opens in the catching direction at the time of catching the ball, and bending in the inward direction is further facilitated. become.

Further, since the substantially V-shaped cuts are provided in the left and right directions, it is possible to catch the ball so as to wrap it from both sides at the time of catching, and it is possible to more reliably prevent the ball from falling.
