[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a baseball ball catching tool (hereinafter abbreviated as ball catching tool).

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a ball catching tool is made of natural leather, synthetic leather, or other similar materials. Insert the back skin made by suturing the palm skin and the back skin, which are made of high-quality material, and provide a cushioning material between the spherical surface skin and the palm skin, and stitch the epidermis and back skin together The cushioning material is formed by tightening with a string and absorbs the impact of catching balls.The cushioning material has the same effect as animal hair felt, needle felt of natural fiber or synthetic resin fiber, synthetic resin sponge, urethane elastomer and others. It is made of quality single material or a combination of these materials. In particular, the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger of the ball catching device are made narrower than the thumb and little finger, and the finger core of the cushioning material is also thin, so the shape of the ball is lost due to repeated ball catching, and when the ball is caught. There is a risk that finger pressure or dislocation of the knuckles may occur due to ball-bearing pressure.In order to prevent this finger injury, a core material made of metal or synthetic resin should be attached to the back of the ball catching tool or It is proposed that it be built in a bag.

For example, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 30-8931, a back cover of a ball catching tool is used to create a covering part, and an elastic material of a flat steel wire is inserted to cover the covering part and sew it. Attempting to prevent collapses and fingers. In Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 55-25330, a tape-shaped bag body having an appropriate width is provided and a thin metal plate or the like having elastic elasticity is attached to the bag to reinforce it to prevent the shape from deforming or the finger to be pierced. Is what you are trying to do. In Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-50050, a plate-shaped cushioning material is provided between the back skin and the back skin that make up the back wall, and the cushioning material is used for the back skin except for the tip of each finger bag. Proposals have also been made to prevent tendonitis and the like caused by the fingers hitting the relatively hard back skin surface by providing the finger almost all over the position where the hand is located.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, although the elastic member such as the flat steel wire of Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 30-8931 is inserted, tension is generated, but the shape-retaining force is poor and the effect of preventing deformation is not expected. In addition, the tape-shaped bag body of Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 55-25330 in which a plate body having elasticity is attached to the tape-shaped bag body requires a step of sewing the tape-shaped bag body and catches a ball. The plate may pop out by breaking the bag at the end of the plate that is attached while repeatedly bending the plate.Especially, if a metal plate is used for the plate, the plate may be caught during repeated catching. There was a problem that the body was plastically deformed and strained, and the ball catching tool had a deformation habit.

[0007] Furthermore, it is said that the plate-like cushion material of Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-50050, which is provided over almost the entire portion of the back skin where the hand is located, takes time to form a finger-shaped hollow portion. I had a problem.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Therefore, the present invention intends to solve the above problems by improving the cushioning material provided inside the finger bag of the ball catching device, particularly on the index finger, the middle finger, and the ring finger. The means is to use natural leather, synthetic leather or the like. Inside the epidermis formed by stitching the ball receiving surface skin and the back skin made of the same effect material, the palm leather and the back skin made of natural leather, synthetic leather or other materials of the same effect are sutured. Insert the back skin, and provide a cushioning material between the spherical surface skin and the palm skin, sew the outer skin and the back skin, and fasten the required parts with the straps. The cushioning material consists of a soft animal hair felt, a needle felt of natural fiber or synthetic resin fiber, or a soft shape-retaining core made of the same effect material, and a needle of hard animal hair felt, natural fiber or synthetic resin fiber. Separate hard reinforced core made of felt or material of the same quality as these By forming a finger core body having a shape in which the hard reinforcing core is interposed and fixed in the tip region of the soft shape-retaining core, and providing the finger core body in each finger bag part of the ball catching device. It is intended to solve the problem of.

[0007]

[Action]

 The finger core of the cushioning material provided in each finger bag part of the ball catching device is a soft animal hair felt or a needle felt of natural fiber or synthetic resin fiber, or a soft shape-resisting core made of the same effect material, A hard reinforcing core made of hard animal hair felt, needle felt of natural fiber or synthetic resin fiber or a material of the same effect as these is separately formed, and the hard reinforcing core is provided at the tip end region of the soft shape retaining core. Since it is fixed by interposing, the finger core body inserted into each finger bag of the ball catching tool and fastened with the required part with the leather string is provided with a string hole for inserting the leather string for fixing each finger bag. It does not lose its shape when tightened with a leather strap. In addition, since the part that contacts the epidermis is formed of a soft, soft shape-retaining core, it reduces the impact of catching the ball, and it is well-adapted to the epidermis, and the shape of the finger bag is easy to appear, and the overall shape of the ball catching tool is maintained. .

To form the epidermis 2. Next, a palm skin 6 and a back skin 7 (development drawing is omitted) made of natural leather, synthetic leather or other materials having the same effect as these are formed, and the palm skin 6 and the back skin 7 are made known means. Therefore, the back skin 5 is formed by stitching.

Next, soft animal hair felts, needle felts of natural fibers or synthetic resin fibers, and other materials having the same effect as these are used, and a finger bag of a ball catching device, that is, an index finger P2, a middle finger P3, a ring finger P4. Soft material 14 formed into a shape having a width that can be inserted into the finger pocket and substantially the entire length of each finger bag, and a soft material having the same outer shape as the soft material 14 and scraping off the lower end region 10 to form a tapered portion 9. A soft shape retention core 8A made of 14 is formed. The soft shape-retaining core 8A is formed by dividing it into two pieces like the soft materials 14 and 14 and using the soft material 14A in which the thickness of the soft material is two as shown in FIG. 9 in advance. The tip region of 14 A may be split into 16 pieces.

Next, using a hard animal hair felt, a needle felt of natural fibers or synthetic resin fibers, and other materials having the same effect as those, the width of the soft shape retention core 8A and the total length of each finger bag are obtained. A hard reinforcing core 8B made of a hard material 15 having a length of approximately 1/3 and the lower end region is scraped off 10 and a tapered portion 9 is formed. As the animal hair felt used for the soft shape-retaining core 8A and the hard reinforcing core 8B, wool felt, cow wool felt, etc. are used, and can be easily manufactured by using those having different hardness depending on the compression pressure and the bonding method at the time of manufacturing. It is also possible to easily manufacture natural fiber or synthetic resin fiber needle felts with different hardness depending on the number of needles, the compression pressure during manufacturing, the adhesive method, etc., and the soft shape-retaining core 8A and the hard reinforcing core 8B are used. The hardness difference can be arbitrarily set as desired.
