Definitions

  • the game of golf requires that during the swinging of the golf club the hands of the user be maintained in firm contact with the grip of the golf club.
  • the grip of the golf club was traditionally made of leather, but in modern times has been made primarily of a rubber compound.
  • golfers typically wear a golf glove on one hand made of a soft pliable material, such as leather or soft cloth.
  • the glove is usually not removed by the golfer during the play of round of golf, although some golfers do remove the glove when putting.
  • the golfer's hand not covered by the glove is exposed to the ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun, while the hand covered by a glove is not so exposed.
  • UV ultraviolet
  • the use of the above flexible material also permits the golf glove to fit a wide range of hand sizes, so that only three sizes, small, medium and large, need be available for the vast majority of golfers. Further, a glove having a bottom portion next to the palm made of a leather or conventional cloth and the top or upper portion next to the back of the hand made from the spandex/nylon material will not lose its shape when used, as would be the case with a one piece leather or cloth glove.
  • the glove of the present invention consists of an upper portion that covers the back of the hand, and a lower portion that covers the palm of the hand.
  • the glove has finger portions and extends toward and covers a portion of the wrist.
  • At least a part of the upper portion of the glove is made of a material that permits the UV rays of the sun to pass through the upper portion permitting the hand of the wearer of the glove to be exposed to the UV rays of the sun, permitting the back of the hand to become tanned.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the glove of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a top view of the glove showing the upper portion of the glove.
  • FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the glove showing the lower portion of the glove.
  • nF.TATT.FD DFS ⁇ RTPTTQN OF THE T_KAWTNC.fi Referring to the Figure 1, a drawing of the preferred embodiment of the golf glove of the present invention is shown.
  • the glove is referred to generally by the numeral 10.
  • the glove 10 consists of an upper portion 12 and a lower portion 14.
  • the upper portion 12 and the lower portion 14 both have complimentary finger portions 16 and 17.
  • the upper and lower portions 12 and 14 are attached along their periphery 19 and 21 to one another by stretching or other conventional methods, to form an enclosed opening for the fingers and hand of the user.
  • the top portion 12 of the glove 10 has a segmented section in the form of a slit 18.
  • An extendable flap 20 is attached to one side of the slit 18 having one closure component of a hook and loop fastener 24, such as sold under the trademark Velcro, and the other side of the slit 18 has the corresponding hook and fabric closure component 26.
  • the extendable flap 20 is large enough to extend from one side of the slit 18 to contact the closure component on other side of the slit 18 so as to be able to attach to the other side of the corresponding closure element .
  • Such a construction of golf glove is well known and will not be discussed in further detail.
  • golf gloves can be used, such as golf gloves having snaps or other closure means. Additionally, some golf gloves have an elastic portion proximate the wrist 28 to hold the glove 10 snugly on the hand.
  • the lower portion 14 of the glove 10 is made of conventional leather or cloth material.
  • the upper portion 12 of the glove 10 is made of a material, such as spandex, that permits at least a portion of the UV rays of the sun to pass through the material. While in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the upper layer 12 of the glove 10 can cover the side and back of the hand of the wearer, it is recognized that more or less of the glove can be made of the above material, depending on how much of the hand is to be exposed to the UV rays of the sun.
  • the fabric of the upper portion 12 is 30% 140 denier/4 filament spandex, a polyurethane-based elastomer, such as sold under the trademark LYCRA, yarn and 70% 30 denier nylon yarn. Due to the elastic nature of the yarn, the fabric has a unique highly stretchable characteristic with memory to recover and return to is original shape and form.
  • This material allows penetration of UV rays equivalent to wearing a sun screen lotion having an SPF of 10. It is substantially opaque to the eye when worn against the skin. It allows skin to breath and perspiration to evaporate and unlike the fully leather gloves, it dries fast and does not become deformed after use.
  • the bottom portion 14 of the glove 10 is made of leather or synthetic material. While the percentages of the spandex and nylon have been described in the preferred embodiment, it is possible to use other percentages and combinations of materials without departing from the concept of the present invention which permits the UV rays of the sun to pass through a material that has an opaque appearance to the eye, but which permits tanning of the hand when worn.
