Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an accessory or a device to facilitate and improve the grip of equipment of various kind, in particular, but without limitation, sport equipment like tennis rackets, golf sticks, baseball bats and the like, or to improve the grip of the ball in sports like basket, rugby, American football and the like, at the same time protecting the hand skin during these activities.
  • Embodiments described herein refer to a disposable accessory or device.
  • a correct grip is fundamental to control the equipment, and it is therefore important for example in professional sports.
  • a correct grip of the racket is essential in tennis to have maximal control over the ball.
  • other sports such as golf, where the correct grip of the stick affects the trajectory of the golf ball, or sports where an optimal grip of the ball facilitates the throw accuracy.
  • the invention discloses an accessory to facilitate the grip of an equipment or tool or of a sport ball, comprising a sheet of shaped material, for example synthetic, semi-synthetic or natural material, with a first surface, onto which a pressure sensitive adhesive is applied, suitable to adhere to the skin, and a second surface, opposite to the first surface and preferably having a high coefficient of friction.
  • the accessory or device comprises a central portion shaped and sized approximately like a hand palm, and a plurality of appendices that extend from a perimeter edge of the central portion and are configured to adhere to the back of a hand by means of said adhesive.
  • a protective film protects the adhesive; as the film is subdivided into a plurality of segments or portions, it allows the accessory or device to be easily applied to the hand, perfectly adapting to the complex shape of the human hand. Namely, in order to apply it, each segment or portion of the protective film is removed singularly, and the uncovered area of adhesive film below is immediately pressed and attached to the skin, before moving to an adjacent segment or portion. The segments or portions are removed according to preferred sequences that allow a progressive and gradual adhesion of the adhesive sheet. In this way it is possible to avoid the accessory or device, while being applied to the hand, forming creases or wrinkles that cannot flatten, thus making the device unusable, notwithstanding the complex shape of the same accessory or device and the strong adhesion force of the adhesive.
  • the device or accessory according to the invention can be a disposable accessory or device; it anatomically adapts to the human hand so as to cover completely the palm without interruptions, thus replacing on the one hand the function of a glove, but avoiding the sliding movement on the skin that are typical of a glove; on the other hand, the device or accessory according to the invention also serves as a skin, i.e. it has the same function as the skin in the contact with the sport or working equipment, and can therefore be substituted for it.
  • the device is designed to facilitate and improve the grip of equipment of various kinds, functioning as a “second skin” specifically designed and covering all the friction area.
  • the size and the shape of the central portion are advantageously such that the latter extends, once the accessory has been applied to the hand, from the finger bases up to the palm area of the wrist, and from one side to the other side of the hand. In this way, the whole palm is completely covered and protected, with the edge delimiting the sheet forming the adhesive accessory arranged outside the contact and grip area between hand and equipment or tool, thus avoiding the detachment that usually occurs along the edge of adhesive film applied to the skin due to the movement of the equipment or tool held by the hand.
  • the idea underlying the invention is to transfer the grip from the tool, equipment or sport ball directly to the human hand by means of a device that anatomically adapts to the hand shape and completely covers the palm, i.e. the grip area, adhering to the palm like a “second skin”, thus optimizing the grip and allowing to transfer the maximal power to the equipment or tool or sport ball while ensuring maximal sensitivity, thus guaranteeing the best result and, at the same time, protecting the skin.
  • devices for the right hand and the left hand can be produced, as well as devices of different sizes so as to adapt to the different hand sizes.
  • FIG. 1 is a back view of an embodiment of the accessory or device according to the invention, configured to be applied to the right hand;
  • FIG. 2 is a front view of the accessory or device of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 is a view of the hand palm with the accessory or device applied thereto;
  • FIG. 4 is a view of the hand back with the accessory or device applied thereto;
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 show the back surface and the front surface of a different embodiment of the accessory or device.
  • the reference to “an embodiment” or “the embodiment” or “some embodiments” means that a particular feature, structure or element described with reference to an embodiment is comprised in at least one embodiment of the described object.
  • the sentences “in an embodiment” or “in the embodiment” or “in some embodiments” in the description do not therefore necessarily refer to the same embodiment or embodiments.
  • the particular features, structures or elements can be furthermore combined in any adequate way in one or more embodiments.
  • FIGS. 1-4 show a first embodiment of the device or accessory according to the invention, indicated as a whole with number 1 .
  • the device or accessory 1 comprises a shaped sheet of suitable thickness, made for example of synthetic, semi-synthetic or natural material.
  • the shaped sheet is made of cotton, or a mixture of cotton and synthetic fiber, for example nylon, or aromatic polyurethane polyether or other material.
  • the shaped sheet has a thickness comprised between 5 ⁇ m and 3000 ⁇ m, for example between 10 ⁇ m and 3000 ⁇ m based upon the activity or sport for which the device is intended, to achieve optimal results.
  • One of the two surfaces of the shaped sheet has a high coefficient of friction, set for example according to the use for which the device or accessory is intended.
  • the sheet 1 comprises a first surface 1 A, partially shown in FIG. 1 , and a second surface 1 B shown in FIG. 2 .
  • an adhesive is applied to the surface 1 A.
  • the adhesive A may be a pressure adhesive, thus providing a self-adhesive sheet.
  • the adhesive A is typically compatible with the skin, i.e. it is suitable to stay into contact with the skin for a long time.
  • the adhesive A is an adhesive like that used for sticking plasters.
  • the sheet forming the device or accessory 1 has a shaped perimeter line indicated with P.
  • the sheet 1 has a shaped central portion 3 .
  • the shaped central portion 3 substantially covers the whole palm of the hand M.
  • a plurality of appendices extend from the central portion 3 .
  • the appendices may be different in shape and number from what indicated in the drawing. What is important is that the device or accessory has appendices allowing it being firmly fixed on the hand back, as it will be explained below.
  • at least one appendix is provided for each between-the-fingers space, i.e. between adjacent fingers.
  • the device has appendices that are configured so as to extend over the palm surface of the wrist and that allow completely to cover the palm, in addition to appendices extending over the hand back for firm fixing.
  • the sheet forming the accessory or device 1 comprises four appendices 5 , 7 , 9 , 11 , indicated below as “between-the-fingers appendices”, as they are intended to be inserted in the four spaces between the fingers.
  • the between-the-fingers appendix 5 is applied between little finger D 1 and ring finger D 2 of the hand M.
  • the between-the-fingers appendix 7 is applied between ring finger D 2 and middle finger D 3 .
  • the between-the-fingers appendix 9 is applied between middle finger D 3 and forefinger D 4 .
  • the between-the-fingers appendix 11 is applied between forefinger D 4 and thumb D 5 .
  • the adhesive sheet furthermore comprises a side appendix 13 , to be applied to the hand side between thumb D 5 and wrist PL.
  • a pair of appendices 15 A, 15 B is provided, that are applied to the hand side between little finger D 1 and wrist PL.
  • Appendices 17 A, 17 B are also provided, that can be advantageously applied so as to surround partially the wrist PL or to reach the palm portion, or palm surface, of the wrist, i.e. the surface that is on the palm side, thus ensuring the palm is completely covered.
  • FIG. 4 shows the positions taken by the appendices 5 - 17 B described above once the accessory or device 1 has been applied to the hand M.
  • the appendices have a sufficient length so that they can extend at least partially over the back of the hand M until they overlap at least partially one another, as shown in the central area of the hand back DS in FIG. 4 .
  • the partial overlapping between appendices allows the device 1 to be more firmly attached to the hand.
  • the between-the-fingers appendices 5 , 7 , 9 extend up to the wrist, where they can be furthermore fixed by means of a strip of film equal to that of the accessory or device 1 or simply by means of a wrist band, often used in sports.
  • the central portion 3 of the sheet forming the device or accessory 1 covers the palm practically completely.
  • the sheet has such an extension that, when the user holds a tool or equipment, for example a tennis racket, the perimeter edge P delimiting the central portion 3 is positioned in areas where there is no pressure contact with the tool or equipment.
  • the self-adhesive sheet does not become detached from the hand palm, as this detachment is usually caused by the mechanical action exerted by the tool or equipment over the line between the perimeter edge of the device and the skin and by the sweating entering between the self-adhesive sheet and the skin.
  • the accessory or device is firmly fixed to the hand M by means of the appendices 5 - 17 B, folded and fixed to the hand back and/or to the wrist, in areas where there is no contact with the tool or equipment, i.e. in areas where the sheet forming the device or accessory 1 is not subjected to the mechanical stress of the tool or equipment that would tend to detach the self-adhesive sheet P from the skin, starting from the perimeter edge.
  • the layer of adhesive A applied to the back surface of the self-adhesive sheet 1 is protected by means of a removable protective film.
  • the protective film can be made of paper, cardboard, fabric or other material, even a synthetic material, that is suitably treated, for instance, but without limitation, with silicone, so that it can be easily peeled off from the layer of adhesive A.
  • the protective film instead of being made of a single piece or of two portions, is subdivided into a number of portions greater than two, delimited by separation or cutting lines shown in particular in FIG. 1 , that allow the user to apply the self-adhesive sheet to the hand one portion after the other where the protective film has been removed, without the risk that the various parts or appendices of the self-adhesive film stick to one another causing wrinkles that could not be flattened and would make the device unusable.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates, just by way of example, a possible subdivision of the protective film, that is indicated as a whole with PP and covers the adhesive A on the surface 1 A of the sheet forming the device or accessory 1 before use.
  • PP 1 , PP 2 , . . . PP 15 respectively indicate fifteen segments or portions of protective film, each of which may be removed separately from, and independently of, one another.
  • the accessory or device 1 is produced starting from a continuous or discontinuous composite web, formed by a base sheet, an adhesive layer A and a continuous protective film applied to protect the adhesive.
  • a continuous or discontinuous composite web formed by a base sheet, an adhesive layer A and a continuous protective film applied to protect the adhesive.
  • the single devices or accessories 1 are cut with their back protective film PP, that can be subdivided, at the same time or later, into single portions PP 1 -PP 15 by means of laser cutting, die cutting or the like.
  • the user removes a portion of the protective film and makes the adhesive surface portion below, no longer protected by the protective film, adhere to the skin; then he/she does the same with an adjacent portion, according to precise advantageous sequences, one of which is numerically indicated in FIG. 5 .
  • This kind of application allows to wear the accessory or device like a “hand garment”, that perfectly adapts without causing imperfections or wrinkles, that could not be avoided if the areas of adhesive film to be applied would be too wide.
  • the accessory or device 1 allows the user a more effective and accurate grip on the tool or equipment or ball, wherein the grip is also completely dry, and thus allowing the maximum powerful athletic movement, ensuring great sensitivity and optimal skin protection.
  • the adhesion of the accessory or device 1 lasts for a long time, also for the whole duration of a sport match, thanks to the particular shape described above, which avoids gradual detachment in the area where the hand presses firmly on the tool.
  • the surface 1 B into contact with the tool or equipment may be treated in a known manner to increase the friction coefficient thereof, or the base synthetic material of which the device is made may have a sufficient friction coefficient per se.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 show a further embodiment of an accessory or device 1 according to the present invention.
  • the same reference numbers indicate the same or equivalent parts to those described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 .
  • the accessory or device of FIGS. 5 and 6 is intended for the right hand.
  • FIG. 5 shows the back surface that shall adhere to the hand, and illustrates an advantageous sequence for removing the protective film portions and for making adjacent areas of the adhesive sheet progressively adhere to the skin one after the other.
  • FIG. 6 shows the front surface, with high friction coefficient, that remains exposed.
  • the device or accessory 1 comprises a shaped sheet of suitable thickness made of a suitable material, for example a synthetic, natural or semi-synthetic material, wherein the sheet is shaped along a perimeter line P.
