Abstract

A goalkeeper's glove features a latex foam bead on the outer edge boundary to the palm edge. The bead is semispherical or can be shaped differently. The bead, which can be made another material resembling latex, is fixed to the glove by sewing or other means.

Description

So far, the sports gloves available on the market are preferred Goalkeeper gloves - only with, on the inside of the gloves applied latex coatings, in smooth or slightly embossed Motif design, without any delimitation, on the lower bale or outer Finger edge, as z. B. represents our invention.

Immediately at the bottom of the palm of the hand, on the ball and thumb side a bead made of high quality, extremely hard-wearing latex compound applied. The shape of the bead = length, height and width, are determined either by the Glove size, or by the function assigned to the sports glove (e.g. Football, handball, etc.). The bead necessary for the invention can in addition to preferably a latex compound, also from another similar Material that guarantees the functions corresponding to the invention be. In addition, the thumb and index finger are made of a highly elastic Textile material - preferably Lycra or an elastic similar in elasticity Textile, laminated with a special coating (e.g. latex layer) and flexible sewn in (bat wing effect) and thus connected to each other.

The invention provides the palm of the hand that is normally available noticeably increased. Another essential point of the invention lies in the in addition, at the bottom of the bale, there is a bead, depending on the glove model and requirement can be extended. Catching and holding on Objects, especially balls with a smooth surface, e.g. B. footballs or handballs, is significantly improved. A ball will slip through on the outer lower edge of the bale, both when dry and wet Weather, reduced or almost excluded by the invention. The catch safe Unity can be further extended by extending the bulge (e.g. to the tip of the small one Fingers or the thumb) can be optimized.

An essential point, however, is the absolutely new glove cut - with "bat use "- because the new cut automatically changes from the thumb to the index finger, forms a trough corresponding to the ball.  

The invention relates to sports gloves, but especially for use as Goalkeeper gloves (soccer - handball ect.).

With the new invention, in particular by the palm of the hand semicircular bead that optimizes the goalkeeper's catching safety. Length, width and The height of the bead can be varied depending on the model and size of the gloves. A semicircular bead with a width of 10 mm and one has proven to be particularly optimal Peak height of 10 mm also highlighted.

The bead is preferably made of a latex, which is usually foamed in comparison to other materials coatings, higher material density produced, so even better adhesion values and to achieve a higher stability of the bead. Instead of latex you can also use a other material comparable in effect (particularly high adhesion) is used become.

The shape and size of the bead is variable and can, depending on the use of the goalkeeper hand shoes are adapted to the requirements. It is preferably semicircular, but also differently shaped structures (boundaries) are suitable and include the invention described herein.

The invention is further optimized in that the thumb and index finger in addition with a highly elastic textile material (preferably Lycra, or similar elastic Textile) with highly abrasion-resistant latex foam or another, in the mode of action similar lamination, (high adhesion). The construction the textile connection between thumb and index finger in no way the movement limited freedom of movement and thus the full freedom of movement of the hand (natural spreading and closing when catching or punching) is guaranteed.

The invention forms, which often with high speed and spin incoming ball, when grasping, exactly the roundness of the ball Trough, whereby the bead running at the lower edge of the bale automatically engages Back pressure is generated and thereby slipping the ball through the Inner hands can be almost excluded.

The invention has a similarly advantageous effect when dropping a z. B. Balles out. The discharge pressure is increased by the bead in that the resulting Centrifugal force creates a counter pressure to the bead and thus the ejection speed is optimally transmitted and also here, one of the gloves usual up to now slipping is almost impossible. The new construction thus also increases the accuracy when dropping z. B. a ball to the outfield player.

The invention also brings about a noticeable improvement in terms of shock absorption and effectively prevents the risk of injury (e.g. when the gate jumps wait with subsequent impact on the floor).

Claims (4)

1. Sports gloves - in particular goalkeeper gloves -, characterized in that a semicircular or other shaped bead made of latex foam, or a similar material, is sewn tightly to the latex palm, or in another way firmly by hand at the outer edge boundary to the ball edge shoe is connected. 2. Sports gloves according to claim 1, characterized in that the palm of the hand delimiting semicircular or other shaped bead on the side of the ball, also up to added to the tip of the thumb and little finger along the outer edge and firmly sewn to the palm of the latex, or otherwise firmly to the glove is connected. 3. Sports gloves, characterized in that between the thumb and index finger, a elastic textile connection that does not restrict the freedom of movement one, on the side facing the palm, highly abrasion-resistant latex foam or also homogeneous latex layer, or other in the mode of action (high adhesion) Similar coating is laminated ("bat insert"). 4. Sports glove, characterized in that with the new glove cut with "Bat use" automatically, a trough corresponding to the ball is formed.
