DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to gloves mainly used for sports, such as golf and baseball batting.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Gloves for golf and baseball batting are generally made of soft, non-stretchable fabrics such as leather and synthetic leather. Then, the consumer selects and purchases gloves of a size that fits well in a normal wearing state. In addition, gloves of this type are available in several sizes (for example, large, medium, and small), but the size differs for each size, but the same size glove cuts the fabric into the same shape. Formed in gloves of the same shape and volume.

[0003] On the other hand, when a human hand grasps a rod-shaped object such as a grip of a golf club, for example, the human hand is pressed by the rod-shaped object, and the flat base of the thumb expands outward. In addition, the base of the thumb of a person's hand is different in flesh from person to person, and when the base of the thumb is thick, the degree of swelling of the base on the side of the thumb is large when the stick is gripped as described above. Tend to be.

[0004] By the way, gloves are worn on the hands, for example, in FIG.
When the bar-shaped object (the grip of the golf club) G is grasped as shown in FIG. 6, the flat base of the thumb in the glove X tends to bulge outward.

However, in the conventional glove X, since the fabric of the thumb bag 2 is not elastic, a strong feeling of pressure is felt around the base of the thumb of the hand. In particular, when the base of the thumb of a person's hand is thicker than the standard, when the user wears a glove of a suitable size and grips the rod-shaped object, he or she feels a stronger feeling of pressure around the base of the thumb. Thus, when using gloves, if there is a strong sense of pressure around the base of the thumb, it is uncomfortable, and when playing a mental sport such as golf, for example, concentration due to the sense of pressure generated around the base of the thumb. And there is a problem that play may be adversely affected.

[0006] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-173588 discloses that
A glove in which an elastic fabric is interposed between the glove body fabric and the base of the thumb fabric is shown.
Since the length of the thumb bag can be adjusted, it is not possible to eliminate the feeling of pressure around the base of the thumb generated when the glove is worn and the stick is grasped.

[0007] In view of the above-mentioned problems of the conventional gloves, the present invention provides a rod-like material even if the gloves are sized to fit the hand (gloves that fit well in a normal wearing state). It is an object of the present invention to prevent a feeling of pressure from being generated around the base of the thumb when the user grips (or to reduce the feeling of pressure).

[0008]

The present invention has the following structure as means for solving the above-mentioned problems. That is, the present invention provides a glove made of a flexible non-stretchable fabric, in which an opening is provided near the flat base of the thumb fabric, and the stretchable fabric is sewn to the edge of the opening in a stretchable state. It is characterized by doing.

For example, for a glove for golf or baseball batting, a flexible non-stretchable fabric such as leather or synthetic leather is generally used. The glove of the present application is manufactured by cutting the non-stretchable fabric for each part and sewing the part fabric.

[0010] The stretchable fabric sewn in the vicinity of the flat base of the thumb bag is, for example, a fabric braided with stretchable yarn. The stretchable fabric has appropriate stretchability in the vertical and horizontal directions.

The opening provided in the thumb cloth can be formed in an appropriate shape such as a narrow and linear opening or a cutout of a predetermined area. In this case, the stretchable fabric used has a shape substantially the same as the shape of the opening of the thumb fabric and is cut into a slightly larger area. Then, the stretchable fabric is applied to the opening of the thumb fabric from the back side, and the stretchable fabric is attached to the thumb fabric by sewing the edge of the opening and the stretchable fabric. The stretch fabric is sewn before the thumb fabric is sewn to the glove body fabric, and thereafter, the respective part fabrics are sewn by an ordinary method to manufacture the glove of the present application.

In the glove according to the present invention, an elastic fabric is interposed near the flat base of the thumb bag, and the elastic fabric portion has elasticity. And wearing this glove,
For example, when gripping the grip of a golf club, the flat base of the thumb expands outward, but the expansion force at that time causes the stretchable fabric portion of the thumb bag to expand, and therefore, around the base of the thumb of the hand. No significant clamping force is generated.
