BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A back leather made of natural leather, synthetic leather or other materials having the same properties as those described above is laminated with a natural leather or synthetic leather, a material having the same properties as these, and a woven fabric of natural fibers or synthetic fibers. The hand palm is sewn so that it can be inserted into the hand, and a natural fiber or synthetic fiber felt or other material is inserted between the palm leather and the spherical surface leather made of natural leather, synthetic leather, or any other material having the same effect. A base core, a thumb core, and a child finger core made of materials having the same effect as above are arranged, and sewn and formed with natural leather or synthetic leather binding straps and core binding straps.

The palm leather and the back leather are die-cut, a required portion of the back leather is inflated and sewn so that a hand can be inserted between the palm leather and the back leather, and sewn to the palm leather. A strap hole for inserting the binding strap and the core binding strap is formed around the palm leather.

[0007] The base core disposed on the entire surface of the palm leather is formed by stamping one or more laminated felts. The thumb core is formed by stacking a plurality of felts and die-cut into a crescent shape, and the child finger core is die-cut into an inverted C-shape. The punched thumb core and child finger core are formed thicker on the outer side and thinner on the ball receiving part side, and arranged and sewn in accordance with the thumb side end and the child finger side end of the base core. By processing in this manner, the ball-receiving leather is smoothly formed from the upper portions of the thumb core and the child finger core toward the ball receiving portion. In addition, a string hole through which the center binding string is inserted is formed around the ball receiving portion. In this cord hole, the one that is pierced along the child finger core is pierced along the side end line on the ball receiving part side of the child finger core, and the one pierced along the thumb core is half or center thereof. Several parts penetrate the thumb core and the base core.

[0008] The town leather is sewn to a portion of the spherical surface receiving leather which is in contact with the outside of the thumb core and the child finger core. In addition, a string hole through which the binding strap is inserted around the spherical surface receiving leather, and a string hole through which the core binding string is inserted around the ball receiving portion.

[0009] The core material is placed on the palm leather to which the back leather is sewn, and the spherical leather is put on the palm leather. Insert and fasten. Next, a binding strap is spirally wound around a strap hole perforated around the palm leather and the ball-receiving leather and sewn.

[0010] Accordingly, the core binding string appearing on the ball-receiving surface leather appears on a curve attached to the side end line of the child finger core on the ball receiving portion side of the child finger core. On the ball receiving portion side of the thumb core, it is displayed on a curve along the side end line of the ball core side of the thumb core and / or intersects with the side end line of the ball receiving portion side of the thumb core. In addition, the core binding string exposed along with the thumb core may be made to intersect all the side end lines of the thumb core on the ball receiving part side, but at least two or three places at the center part intersect. I do.

The angle at which the core binding string intersects the side end line of the thumb core on the ball receiving portion side is such that when the ball is received and taken out of the catcher mitt, the wrist is rotated from the little finger to the thumb after the ball is grasped. At this time, it is desirable that the fingertip coincides with the direction of tracing the receiving surface. However, since the direction in which the fingertip traces the ball receiving surface changes every time the ball is received, it is preferable that the core binding string be exposed on the ball receiving surface leather in the most frequent direction.

[0018]

According to the catcher mitt of the present invention, when taking out the received ball from the catcher mitt, the finger string traces the ball receiving surface of the thumb core on the ball receiving portion side. Since the fingertip is exposed, the fingertip is less likely to be caught on the core binding string on the ball receiving portion side of the thumb core, and the ball can be quickly thrown. In addition, it is less likely to hurt the fingertip.

By firmly fastening the core binding string that penetrates the thumb core and intersects the side end line of the thumb core on the ball receiving part side, the ball receiving part side of the thumb core becomes smooth, and the ball-receiving leather is made of the thumb core. It becomes smoother from the upper part to the ball receiving part side, and it becomes easy to receive and throw the ball.

When the base core of the ball receiving portion repeatedly receives the ball, the core binding string is lifted, but the core binding string rises up. It is difficult to lift up, and it is also difficult to bend and lose shape. In addition, it becomes difficult to cut the core binding string.

In the conventional catcher mitt, the thumb core may be bent outward along with the core binding string fastened to the ball receiving portion side of the thumb core by repeatedly receiving the ball, but the present invention prevents the thumb core from bending. The ball can be received stably.
