Definitions

  • This invention relates to gloves for the human hand which are worn when playing sports such as baseball, softball, golf, or working and the like.
  • this invention relates to a batting glove specifically designed to improve grip, comfort, protection, and performance of a wearer.
  • this invention has broader implications and may be advantageously employed in other applications requiring protection of the hands. More particularly, this invention relates to a batting glove which includes padding in selected areas to provide protection at the hook of the hamate during use by the wearer.
  • hockey goaltender's blocker gloves for use, particularly in ice hockey and other sports which require the player to protect his arm from high flying objects, such as pucks or the like are well known.
  • These blocker gloves are provided on the back or dorsal side of the hand with a blocker pad, usually of substantially rectangular shape which extends longitudinally of the glove covering the back of the hand as well as the forearm.
  • These blocker pads are designed to control the reflective direction of a hockey puck which is directed towards the goal wherein the goaltender prevents the puck from entering the goal.
  • the blocker pad generally has a thick leather skin at the facing thereof and has thereunder a plurality of layers of padding material.
  • the motion zones are determined by the center axis of rotation of the individual thumb, finger, hand, and wrist joints. These motion zones have been applied to specific joint locations for the particular uses of a designed glove. This helps the flexibility of the glove in relationship to its use. As such, the motion zones are selected in various combinations or even individually depending on the specific task or function of the glove.
  • motion zones which also function to decrease glove impedance and improve the breath-ability of the glove, are located specifically in relationship to the center axis of rotation of the finger joints .
  • the pads for the fingers are placed again between the bony prominences of each specific finger bone (phalanx) .
  • the individual pads of the digits are placed over the relatively flat portion of the phalanx and as such, between the joints that are present on each side of the respective phalanx.
  • the pad does not cover the area near the center axis of rotation. Again, this unloads these bony areas and leads to more even distribution of force across the digit. In other words, decreased areas of concentrated pressure, i.e, over the bony prominences and individual phalanges will experience less discomfort. Of course, improved comfort leads to better grip and performance of the specific task in question.
  • the pads on the fingers are placed over the proximal and middle phalanx of each digit.
  • these regions correlate with the A2 and A4 pulleys specifically. Furthermore, this placement allows for unrestricted motion of the various finger and hand joints by precisely keeping the pads away from the center axis ofrotation (for each specific joint) . Depending on the use of the glove, various combinations, or even independent use of these pads could be utilized in glove construction. Additionally, the pads may have different sizes and shapes depending on the application. However, the pads would still be centered primarily between the bony prominences and away from the center axis of rotation for each joint. [0009] The pad for the thumb is placed between the bony- prominences of the first phalanx, primarily on the lateral (side) region.
  • pads may also be placed over the distal phalanx of each digit, just beyond the bony prominences. This pad would be above (distal) the center axis of rotation of the distal interphalangeal joint of the respective finger. As such, three pads could be placed over each finger depending on the use required for the glove.
  • the motion zone for the wrist area is also determined by the center axis of rotation of the wrist joint. This allows for essentially full motion of the wrist, while at the same time, avoiding dislodgement of the glove from the player's hand. Not all gloves require or benefit from a wrist motion zone. However, a combination of the finger, thumb, hand, and wrist motion zones determined by the joints center axis of rotation may be utilized for various glove applications .
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a batting glove which takes stress off of selected parts of the human hand.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a batting glove having preselected materials of construction in different areas of contact with the human hand.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a batting glove having pre-selected thicknesses of pre-selected materials of construction in different areas of contact with the human hand.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a batting glove which uses different materials to allow wrist motion, unload bony prominences, improve finger and knuckle motion, and protect the back of the hand.
  • An additional object of the present invention is to provide a batting glove with padding which unloads the boney prominence of the hook of the hamate of a hand without interference with the flexibility and mobility of the fingers and joints of the hand.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a goaltender's blocker glove which takes stress off selected parts of the human hand when the glove is in use.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a hockey goaltender's blocker glove with padding added at selected areas of the hand for protecting selected anatomical portions of the human hand and yet allow the fingers and the joints of the hand to have flexibility and mobility.
  • Even a further object of the present invention is to provide a work glove with padding added at selected areas of the hand for protecting selected anatomical portions of the human hand and yet allow the finger and joints of the hand to have flexibility and mobility.
  • the word "work glove” applies to, but is not limited to, for example, gloves for gardening, automobile mechanic gloves, sports glove for use when riding bicycles, motorcycles, automobile racing and the like.
  • the present invention provides a batting glove including pre-selected material in pre-selected thicknesses to fill in the soft spots surrounding the bony- prominences of the hand, to unload the pulleys and tendons, and to take stress off of selected parts of the hand.
  • the present invention provides a hockey goaltender's block glove which includes a glove segment and a blocker pad.
  • the glove segment has a dorsal side and a palmar side with a top glove panel covering the palmar side of the human hand which includes the palm, thumb and fingers and a bottom glove panel sized to cover the back, thumb and fingers of the dorsal side of the human hand.
  • the top and bottom panels which make up the glove segment are secured along each panel's periphery to define a glove body with an opening therein to receive a human hand.
  • the blocker pad is provided with a front face and an opposed back wherein the dorsal side of the glove segment is attached to the blocker pad back.
  • the glove segment is provided with a thumb and fingers section for receiving a thumb and fingers of the human hand.
  • shock absorbing pads are provided to overlie selected areas defined by the location of anatomical parts of the human hand when inserted into the glove.

  • the glove body is provided with a thumb and fingers section for receiving a thumb and fingers of the human hand.
  • shock absorbing pads are provided to overlie selected areas defined by the location of anatomical parts of the human hand when inserted into the glove.
  • the shock absorbing padding which is usually a foam rubber or another foam elastomeric material of approximately 1/4" in thickness, is disposed to overlie at least the distal halves of the index finger and long finger metacarpals excluding the metacarpal joints of the index finger and the long finger.
  • a thumb ulnar protective padding is disposed along the thumb stall at a location to be along an ulnar border of the thumb proximal phalanx between the metacarpalphalangeal joint and the interphalangeal joint as well as padding over the A2 pulley of the proximal phalanx between the metacarpalphalangeal joint and the interphalangeal joint.
