[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a glove for catching a ball such as a glove for ball games.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, a glove or mitt made of leather or synthetic leather for baseball must accommodate a hand (dotted line portion in FIG. 6B) as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B. The bag body 1 capable of storing the thumb F1 is provided with a thumbstrap accommodating portion 2 for accommodating the thumb F1 and a four-finger accommodating portion 3 for accommodating the other fingers F2 to F5. The part 2 and the four-finger housing part 3 are branched. The arrow X in (A) of FIG. 6 indicates the direction in which the hand T is inserted. FIG. 6
(B) shows a state in which the hand is actually inserted into the bag body 1 forming a glove. The thumb housing unit 2 is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 7 (C), it has an instep covering portion 21 that covers the instep side F1a of the thumb F1 and a palm covering portion 22 that covers the palm side F1b, and further includes a front covering portion 23 and an outer covering portion 24. Have. Palm part 2
2, the outside is covered with the front cover portion 23,
The thumb F1 and the little finger F5 are caught between the palm and the palm part 22 when catching a ball.
A part of the sheet-shaped core 14 that protects the entire palm side is disposed (two-dot chain line in FIG. 6B). Also, the instep portion 21
The outside is covered with the outer cover portion 24. Further, the thumb holding portion 2 is provided with a finger clip 4 for fixing the thumb to a position protected by the core 14 in the thumb holding portion 2 (FIG. 6).
(B) One-dot chain line).

As shown in FIG. 7 (A), the finger clasp 4 includes a finger anchor main body 40 and four elongated thin cord portions 42a, 42a formed on the main body side end portions 41a, 41b. 42b, 4
2b. The finger anchor body 40 of the finger clasp 4 is
It is disposed inside the instep cover 21 and the palm cover 22 forming the thumb housing part 2, and directly contacts the thumb F1 (FIG. 7 (B)).
(C)). The thin cord portions 42a, 42a, 42 of the finger clasp 4

2a penetrates the side portion of the instep portion 21 (left hand in FIG. 7B) and the outer covering portion 24 and is exposed to the outside, and both thin cord portions 42a, 42a.
2a are tied to each other. M in FIG. 7B shows this knot.

[0004]

However, as shown in FIG. 8, since a force is applied to the hand when catching the ball, the fingertip of the thumb F1 presses the thumb finger accommodating portion 2 and is protected by the core 14. Occasionally, there was a situation in which the In such a state, protection by the core 14 is not performed,
Since the ball to be caught and the thumb F1 almost come into direct contact with each other only through the instep part 21 and the outer cover part 24, it was extremely dangerous. Further, the thumb finger accommodating portion 2 is difficult to operate because it is detached from the core 14. In order to avoid such a situation, for example, it is conceivable to make the vertical width W of the finger anchor main body 40 shown in FIGS. 7 (A) and 7 (C) longer than usual. However, in this case, the thumb F1 is too restrained only by the finger clasps 4, and the sense of unity with other parts such as the instep cover 21 forming the thumb thumb housing 2 is impaired,
The feel of the caught ball is impaired. Especially for advanced players, there is a concern that such a situation may affect play.

When the thumb F1 is passed through the conventional finger clamp 4,
Body side end portions 41a and 41b of the finger fastening body 40 and front and rear ends 4
The thumbs F1 and 1c and 41d contacted each other. Even though it is made of leather, a finger touches such an end and the thumb F1
It was not a pleasant feeling to bite into such a part. Particularly, by using the glove for a long time, the body side end portions 41a and 41b of the finger fastening main body 40 and the front and rear ends 41 are formed.
When external force is repeatedly applied from the outside in the state where the c and 41d are in contact with the thumb F1, the thumb F1 rubs against these parts, causing pain and peeling of the fingers.

[0006] In addition, conventionally, when the hand is passed through the glove, the thumb F1 must be inserted into the thumb thumb housing 2 without being hung on the finger retainer 4 unless the finger retainer 4 is visually checked and the thumb F1 is not inserted. It may happen. In this case, not only the position with respect to the core 14 but also the thumb is not stable in the thumb accommodating portion 2, and the risk of hitting or bruising by catching the ball is extremely high. For this reason, as described above, it is necessary to insert the hand into the glove while visually checking it at the time of mounting. An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems.

[0007]

In a ball-catching glove such as a glove for ball game according to the first invention of the present application, a bag body 1 capable of accommodating a hand, a thumb-accommodating portion 2 for accommodating a thumb, A four-finger accommodation portion 3 for accommodating another finger is provided, and the thumb-finger accommodation portion 2 and the four-finger accommodation portion 3 are branched at least inside the bag body 1. The thumb-finger accommodation portion 2 is a thumb instep. Instep part 21 that covers the side
And a palm covering portion 22 covering the palm side. The palm covering portion 22 is covered at its outside with a front covering portion 23, and at least a palm of a thumb is provided between the front covering portion 23 and the palm covering portion 22. A sheet-shaped core 14 for protecting the side is provided, and a thumb or band-shaped finger stopper 4 for fixing the thumb to a position protected by the core 14 in the thumb-shaped finger housing 2 is provided in the thumb housing 2. It has the following configuration. That is, the finger clasp 4 is arranged outside the instep cover 21, and both side ends 42a and 42b thereof penetrate the instep cover 21 and are engaged or fixed to the palm cover 22.

By adopting the above-mentioned structure, the instep cover 21 is pulled around the thumb by the finger clamps 4 outside the instep cover 21 and the instep cover thus laid together with the finger clamps 4 in this manner. The part 21 also presses the thumb in place on the palm cover 22. This is because the conventional finger clamp is intended to restrain only the thumb and the instep part can be displaced (deformed) relatively freely with respect to the palm cover part, while the finger clamp 4 can be replaced by the instep cover. At least the part of the part 21 near the thumb is also restrained, and as a result, the instep part 21 itself is limited in freedom with respect to the palm part 22. Then, the instep portion 21 thus constrained by the finger clamp 4 comes into close contact with the thumb and restrains its freedom, and presses it in a fixed position of the palm covering portion 22, that is, a position protected by the core 14. For this reason, in the past, there was room for the thumb to press the instep part to deform it and remove its position from the position protected by the core of the palm part, whereas the instep part It wasn't pushed and, conversely, the unnecessary margin of this thumb was removed. Therefore, the thumb is surely protected by the core 14, and the thumb finger accommodating portion 2 can be easily gripped.

Further, even if the above-mentioned action is obtained, since the instep portion 21 is in close contact with the thumb, the oneness of the thumb with respect to the thumb accommodating portion 2 is not impaired.
On the contrary, such a sense of unity was improved. In particular, in order to obtain the above-mentioned action, it is possible to use a conventional one without changing the design of the finger clasp 4 itself, and, as described above, in order to increase the stability of the thumb with respect to the thumb accommodating portion 2 compared with the conventional one. It is not necessary to prepare another member separately. In addition, thumb and finger clamp 4
It does not directly contact with, that is, it does not tie only the local area of the thumb with finger fastening, but it uses finger fastening, but through the instep covering portion 21 that wraps the entire instep side of the thumb, the finger fastening that has conventionally occurred Eliminates biting of the edges and rubbing with these (rubbing), and does not damage the skin of the thumb or put a burden on the thumb even with long-term use. Therefore, the feeling of use is significantly improved.

In addition to the above, the visual confirmation of the position, which is required when the thumb is passed through the conventional finger clamp, becomes unnecessary, and it is inevitable that the hand is simply inserted into the glove (that is, the thumb is placed on the instep 21). It is extremely convenient because the thumb is passed through the finger clamp.

Next, a glove for catching balls such as a glove for ball games according to the second invention of the present application is the glove for catching balls such as a glove for ball games according to the first invention, in which the instep cover 21 is The outside is covered with the outer cover 24. And the finger clamp 4
Is provided with a finger anchor main body 40 and an appropriate number of elongated thin cord portions 42a, 42b formed on the main body side end portions 41a, 41b. The finger clasp main body 40 includes an instep part 21 and an outer cover part 24.
Interpolated between. The thin cord portions 42a and 42b penetrate the instep portion 21 and engage with at least the palm covering portion 22, penetrate the instep portion 21 again, and also penetrate the outer covering portion 24 so that the outer covering portion 24 It is exposed to the outside, and the thin cord portions 42a and 42b are appropriately tied or engaged with each other outside the outer sheath portion 24 or the thin cord portions 42a and 42b are prevented from coming off from the outer sheath portion 24. It engages with the receiving portion 24.

Therefore, in addition to the action of the glove for catching ball glove or the like according to the first aspect of the present invention, the thin cord portions 42a, 42a
It is possible to easily adjust the tightening strength of the finger clip 4 on the outside of the ball-catching glove by adjusting the position at which the 2b is tied or engaged.

A glove for ball catching such as a glove for ball game according to a third invention of the present application is the glove for catching ball such as a glove for ball game according to the first invention, wherein the instep cover 21 is Jacket 2
Covered by 4. The finger clamp 4 is inserted between the instep cover 21 and the outer cover 24, and the body side end portions 41a, 4a thereof are provided.
1b penetrates the instep part 21, and the main body side end parts 41a, 4
The whole 1b is fixed to at least the palm cover portion 22.

The ball-catching glove such as a ball-playing glove according to the present invention adopts the above-mentioned structure, and in addition to the function of the ball-playing glove such as a ball-playing glove according to the first invention, The end portions 41a and 41b of the finger clamp main body, which caused the most rubbing against the skin of the thumb, were completely covered with the palm covering portion 2
It was fixed to 2, eliminating any room for contact with the thumb. Therefore,
With long-term use, the thumb was not damaged and the usability was significantly improved.
