Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to improvements in flexible glove webs.

The leather membrane that spans between one finger and the other in a baseball glove is generally called a web, but conventionally, the upper part of this web is the same as the upper end of a folded piece of leather. Perforations were made at intervals, a thin leather strap was inserted through the perforation, and the leather strap was wound spirally between the perforation and the outer surface of the upper end.

However, since the upper end of such a web is formed by folding a piece of leather and is also strongly tied with a series of thin leather straps, it is extremely difficult to bend, and therefore difficult to catch a ball. This is especially true with new gloves. In addition, in such conventional gloves, the thin leather straps that are tied are exposed at the upper edge of the web, so when catching a ball, the thin leather straps rub against the ground.
The thin leather cord is easy to cut. Furthermore, since the thin leather strap is tightened, this part becomes hard, so there are various drawbacks such as the ball hitting the upper edge of the web and rebounding in the direction of the user's face.

This idea eliminates all of the above drawbacks,
The purpose of this is to create a web formed by folding a piece of leather at its upper end, make a considerable number of vertical cuts in the upper end to form strips, and alternately cut these strips. The strength of the upper edge of the web is maintained while maintaining the strength of the upper edge of the web by dividing the web into the back row and the front row, inserting string strips into the back row strips and front row strips, and fixing the string strip ends to the left and right fingers. It has good flexibility, making it easier to catch balls than when it was new, and because the string like thin leather strap does not rub against the ground, it does not break, and it prevents fly balls from hitting the area. To provide a glove suitable for catching a ball, which can effectively absorb the impact of the ball without causing it to bounce toward the face even when the ball is thrown in the direction of the player's face.

This invention will be described below with reference to embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

Webs 4 of various shapes and structures are stretched between one finger 2 and the other finger 3 of the glove 1.
Here, the web 4 refers to a leather membrane section spanned between one finger section and another finger section.

The upper end portion 5 of the web 4 is made of a piece of leather with a fold 6 formed at the upper end thereof.

The strips 8 are formed by cutting a number of longitudinal cuts 7 along the upper end 5 at approximately equal intervals. When the strip-shaped pieces 8 are alternately divided into the front row part a and the back row part b, the front row part a and the rear row part b
A predetermined number of strip-shaped pieces 8a, 8b are formed. The front string strip 9a, which is like a thin leather strap, is tied to the upper part of the finger part 2 of 1 of the glove 1, and is sequentially attached to the front row strip-shaped piece 8a.
The string strip 9, which has been fixed by tightening or other means, is then inserted into the other finger portion 3 after passing through the back row strip 9b. The end is fixed to the finger portion 2 of 1 by means of tightening or the like.

Therefore, the cuts 7 when forming the strips 8 should be made in relation to the width of the string 9 to be inserted.

Furthermore, both the front string 9a and the rear string 9b are inserted through the strips 8, 8 at both ends to reinforce the portions. 10 is a ball.

For convenience of explanation, the embodiment drawings show a glove for an infielder or an outfielder, but the present invention can be similarly implemented with a first-mitt or catch-mitt glove.

This invention has a considerable number of vertical cuts along the upper end of the web, which allows the web to naturally deflect in the ball catching direction of the glove, making it easier to catch balls.

The strips obtained by carving cuts can be inserted straight through the front row strips and the back row strips, which are arranged alternately, making it easy to operate and to avoid forcing the strings to bend. There is no risk of damaging the original strength of the string. Moreover, since this string is inserted into the inside of the strip, it does not come out to the outside of the web, so there is absolutely no friction between the string and the ground. Since the upper end of the web has a bendable structure as described above, it absorbs the impact of a fly ball, thereby avoiding rebound of the ball toward the player's face.

Claims (1)

[Claims for Utility Model Registration] (1) In a web formed by folding back a piece of leather at its upper end, a considerable number of vertical cuts are made in the upper end to provide strip-like pieces, and the strips are This glove is characterized in that the strips are alternately distributed into the rear row and the front row, string strips are inserted through the back row strips and the front row strips, and the string strip ends are fixed to the left and right fingers. (2) The glove according to claim 1 of the above-mentioned utility model registration claim, characterized in that the straps have separate front row straps and rear row straps. (3) The first claim for utility model registration is that the front string and the back string are the same.
Gloves as described in section.
