  • the attachment strap 40 includes a looped end 46 that is attached to the wrap loop 62, in this embodiment via a slip knot, although alternative attachment methods may be utilized.
  • the looped end 46 is formed by attaching the first end 42 and second end 44 to the first edge 22 of the knuckle cover sheet 20; however, the loop may be formed in any manner known to those skilled in the art.
  • FIGURE 5 is a perspective view of a third embodiment of the hand wrap 69, wherein the hand wrap 69 includes finger loops 29 for holding the knuckle cover sheet 20 on the user's hand 12 in a proper position.
  • the finger loops 29 are operatively positioned on the inner surface 28 of the knuckle cover sheet 20.
  • the finger loops 29 may be sewn, glued or otherwise attached to the inner surface 28 of the knuckle cover sheet 20.
  • This embodiment while aiding in the proper placement of the knuckle cover sheet 20 on the users hand, also serves to restrict the movement of the knuckle cover sheet 20, in particular eliminating any chance of rotational motion around the axis extending from the users wrist 14 towards the hand.
  • a further benefit of this embodiment is to prevent slippage of the hand wrap 10 up the users hand towards the wrist 14.
  • the knuckle cover sheet 20 placement between the fingers and the thumb also prevents this sort of slippage, however the potential for bunching still exists.
  • the finger loops 29 in this embodiment reduce that potential for bunching in the axial direction. Importantly, neither the knuckle cover sheet 20 nor the finger loops 29 extend around the thumb 18, as noted above.
  • FIGURE 6 is a perspective view of a fourth embodiment of the hand wrap 70.
  • a contiguous band 71 of material covers the knuckles of the user.
  • the contiguous band 71 is made of cloth which may be terry cloth, nylon, polyester or other materials common to those skilled in the art in the manufacture, although any suitably flexible and protective materials, comfortable to the user and suitable to the purposes of this invention, may be used.
  • the elastic properties of the contiguous band 71 serve to restrain the contiguous band 71 from slippage around the user's hand during wrapping or use.
  • the contiguous band 71 may be sewn to the elongate wrap body 30 in any manner, either directly or indirectly.
  • the contiguous band 71 is connected at a connection point 72 to a elongate wrap body 30 by sewing or other equivalent method of attachment.
  • the contiguous band 71 is positioned around the knuckle region 16, without extending around the thumb 18 (shown in Fig. 2).
  • the elongate wrap body 30 may then be wrapped around the hand and wrist, over the contiguous band 71, as described above.
  • FIGURE 7 is a perspective view of a fifth embodiment of the hand wrap 80 wherein the contiguous band 71 includes a connector strap 74 for attachment to the loop 62 of the elongate wrap body 30, similar to the embodiment of Figs. 3-4.
  • the inclusion of the connector strap 74 allows detachable use with replacements of the elongate wrap body 30.
  • the connector strap 74 includes a hooks and loops connector, such as Velcro®, and is threaded through the loop 62.
  • the connector strap 74 has a hooks side 76 and a loops side 77, and after threading the loop 62 on the elongate wrap body 30, the hooks side 76 is connected to the loops side 77 to secure the elongate wrap body 30 and contiguous band 71 together.
  • the method of connection is not limited to applications using hooks and loops fasteners, but may also include snaps, buttons, or other means of equivalent attachment mechanisms.
  • FIGURE 8 is a perspective view of a sixth embodiment of the hand wrap 90.
  • an elongate pad 80 has a thumb end 81 and a wrap end 82.
  • the elongate wrap body 30 is attached to the wrap end 82 of the elongate pad 80.
  • a thumb loop 84 is attached to the thumb end 81 of the elongate pad 80.
  • the elongate wrap body 30 has a first fastener 52, attached to the distal end 34 of the elongate wrap body 30, and a second fastener 54, attached to the elongate wrap body 30 near the distal end 34.
  • FIGURE 9 is an illustration of the hand wrap 90 in place on the user's hand 12, with the elongate pad 80 properly positioned over the user's thenar 19 and the user's thumb 18 through the thumb loop 84.
  • the thumb loop 84 is positioned around the user's thumb 18 in a manner similar to prior art hand wraps.
  • the elongate pad 80 is positioned over a thenar 19 portion of the hand 12, adjacent a heel of the hand 12, to provide additional protection to the user's hand 12 in that vulnerable location.
  • the elongate wrap body 30 is then wrapped around the user's hand 12 and wrist 14, and in particular the elongate pad 80, to secure the elongate pad 80 in place over the thenar 19.
  • FIGURE 10 is perspective view of another embodiment of the hand wrap 100 for wrapping the hand 12 of the user.
  • FIGURE 11 is a perspective view of the hand wrap 100 being wrapped on the hand 12 of the user.
  • the hand wrap 100 has a proximal end 101 and a distal end 102.
  • a slit 103 is formed through the material of the hand wrap 100.
  • the slit 103 is largely perpendicular to the length of the hand wrap 100 for threading the distal end 102 of the wrap through the slit, forming a loop 104 through which the user's hand 12 may be inserted.
  • the loop 104 formed by threading the distal end 102 through the slit 103 is placed over the user's hand 12 such that the hand wrap 100 covers the knuckle region 16.
  • the hand wrap 100 is then tightened by pulling on the distal end 102 and wrapping it around the user's hand 12 and wrist, as described in greater detail above.
  • the knuckle cover sheet 20 is formed in the proximal end 101, and has a larger width LW that is greater than a body 106 of the hand wrap 100.
  • the knuckle cover sheet 20 is positioned over the user's hand 12 and may be over a knuckle region 16 to protect the user's knuckles.
  • the knuckle cover sheet 20 may be thicker, padded, or otherwise constructed to protect the knuckles of the user.
  • the distal end 102 has a smaller width SW that is small enough to be inserted through the slit 103.
  • the body 106 is then wrapped around the user's hand 12 and wrist 14. It may be first wrapped over the knuckle cover sheet 20, to secure it in place, and then continue around the wrist, to protect the hand 12 and support the wrist 14.
  • the user then fastens the distal end 34 of the elongate wrap body 30 to the elongate wrap by connecting the first fastener 52 to the second fastener 52, as discussed above. This secures the hand wrap 10 in place around the hand 12 and the wrist 14 of the user.
