Description
- This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2007-037583, filed Feb. 19, 2007, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates to a golf glove which fits closely to a bare hand of a golfer so as to allow the golfer to swing accurately under every condition which includes wet weather or hot weather in summer under which sweat is secreted from the hand of the golfer.
- When playing golf, a glove has been an inevitable item for a hand of a golfer to keep a firm grip on the club in general for an accurate swing. Different from those worn for fashion or protecting hands against coldness, the golf glove is formed of an extremely thin material so as to cover closely and entirely a palm side area and a back side area of the hand of the golfer, and in the case of a right-handed player, the glove is mainly put on his or her left hand, so that the grip portion of the club is grabbed by a palm side of the left hand of the golfer via the glove.
- As this occurs, various devices are made to eliminate slip between the grip portion of the golf club and the surface of a palm side of a golf glove main body. Namely, JP-A-8-188909, which will be shown below, discloses a golf glove in which a shearing treatment is applied to a palm side area (a surface side) of a glove by sewing the fabric to shrink it so as to prevent a slip of the glove on the grip portion.
- In addition, JP-A-2003-175143 discloses a golf glove in which a resin or rubber slip preventive element is provided on a golf glove main body which is made of an elastic fibrous material in a position which is brought into contact with a grip portion of a golf club so as to keep an enhanced firm grip on the club.
