JPH05184703A - Golfing glove with reinforcement - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: To accurately swing a club by providing a reinforcing means on the back side of the hand so as to prevent the wrist from moving in a glove for a golfer, which restricts a part of the movement of the wrist and the hand on the side of wearing the glove. CONSTITUTION: The reinforcing member 1 used along with a glove is manufactured of plastic by molding, for example, injection molding, provided with a hump 2 formed by being matched with the shape of one end out of two antebrachial bones, and inserted and held between twofold parts in the top face of the glove 3. The glove 3 and the reinforcing member 1 are fixed to the forearm by two Velcro bands 5, 6. At least, a string for fixing the globe 3 to the forearm is provided in a part of the reinforcing member 1 different in height as necessary so as to firmly fix the glove 3 to the forearm.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a glove worn by a golfer with only one hand, such as a left-handed golfer for a right-handed golfer and a right-handed golfer for a left-handed golfer.

As in most sports, it is not easy for golf beginners to repeatedly practice a series of fixed actions in the correct manner to learn the actions. Therefore, the beginner can move the position where the ball was, without compromising the unfavorable movements (such as moving the head) and the movements that must be performed (after the stroke, the temptation to follow the ball with the eyes). (Look at it)
Must be remembered.

In fact, in order to swing the club effectively, the left wrist is used during the entire sequence of preparatory steps from the player swinging the club up (right-handed) to swinging it down to impacting the ball. Should be kept open, that is, the palm should not be separated from the plane containing the radius and elbow, considering the wrist as a point.

This is because it is possible to eliminate the movement that would reduce the accuracy of the position of the head of the club at the time of impact during the above series of operations. Therefore, even if the left wrist is a little open, in other words, moving to the outer side, that is, to the side corresponding to the back of the left hand,
This is a fatal flaw. This is because even a skilled player, if there is a slight angle between the above-mentioned surface and the surface including the back of the left hand, will cause an uncorrectable deviation in the subsequent movements. ..

PRIOR ART Australian Patents D-8, 513, 5
No. 75 (Colly), as shown in that drawing, discloses a two-part device that rotates about a common wrist level axis.

Further, US Pat. No. 4,241,922
(Elliot) discloses another golf training aid.

[0007]

The former device is cramped for the user, in particular because the parts 5 and 6 of the mold 1 are shaped so as to be extremely tight. further,
A very large number of molds have to be manufactured and kept in stock for each player's bill, which is quite expensive. Also, it goes without saying that the device is complicated because two parts that rotate relative to each other must be created.

While the latter device does not have the two-part disadvantage, it does have the additional disadvantage of not wearing golf gloves when using this device.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks and, regardless of whether the user is a beginner or not, in the case of a right-handed person, one of the unfavorable movements, that is, the left hand is a radius relative to the left forearm. It is an object of the present invention to provide a golf glove that does not require attention so that it does not move outward from the surface including the elbow. In order to actually swing the golf club correctly, the position of the left hand relative to the left forearm,
It must be secured on the surface including the radius and elbow that connects to the wrist. Human wrists can move their hands in all directions (not to mention rotational movement) within a cone with their wrists as vertices, assuming that the wrist is a point. I know I can.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a golf glove which restricts a part of the movement of the wrist and the hand on which the glove is worn. It is provided so that the wrist does not move.

The reinforcing means of the golf glove is deformable within a range in which the wrist can be twisted according to the feeling of wearing by the player.

The reinforcing means comprises a part of a cylinder, and is made of a plastic material with a size and shape according to the dominant arm, sex, height, weight, etc. of the player.

[0013]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The reinforcing member 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 can be manufactured by molding a plastic material, for example by injection molding. Make a hump 2 according to the shape of one of the two bones of the forearm.

FIGS. 3 to 5 show a glove 3 provided with a reinforcing member of the type shown in FIGS. It is inserted between the doubled parts of the upper surface of the glove.

As can be seen in FIG. 4, the hump 2 for inserting the end of the ulna is on the opposite side of the thumb 4.

The glove 3 and the reinforcing member 1 are fixed to the forearm by two Velcro bands 5 and 6. The slit 7 may also be provided on the lower side of the glove so that the reinforcing member can be easily inserted into the glove.

As a specific example of the present invention, the reinforcing member may be fixed to the inside of the glove by a method such as adhesion or stitching.

So that the gloves can be firmly fixed to the forearm,
For example, at least one string may be provided to secure the glove to the forearm at different heights of the reinforcing member. These fastening cords may in particular be formed with Velcro bands.

[0019]

The glove reinforcing member according to the present invention can prevent so-called outward opening of the left hand.

One of the effects of the present invention is that the movement of the left wrist is within the above-mentioned surface (the surface including the wrist and radius / elbow), or the so-called inner half space, that is, the space on the palm side of the left hand. It is possible to limit it to only one. Therefore, the player can focus on other issues.

Another advantage is that the reinforcing member is formed integrally with the glove, so that it is easy to handle.

In the glove according to the present invention, the part including the reinforcing member is located at the position of the player's forearm. The reinforcing member can be manufactured from a plastic material such as polyethylene, polypropylene or reinforced polyester.

By adjusting the hardness of the plastic material, the hardness can be selected so that the wrist can be twisted for the best comfort and the most effective movement.
