DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a golf glove used for gripping a golf club, and more particularly, to enhance the grip strength of the little finger, ring finger, and middle finger of the little finger, ring finger, and middle finger on the gripping hand side where the glove is worn. The present invention relates to a golf glove to which a possible means is added.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a large number of golf gloves have been proposed which are provided with means for enhancing the grip strength of the little finger, ring finger and middle finger of the gripping hand (left hand) as described above. In these prior examples, a glove body is provided with a band-shaped tightening band having elasticity, and the band is wound around a gripped hand at the time of gripping so that required grip pressure is generated on the little finger, ring finger, and middle finger. There are various prior examples depending on how the fastening band piece is wound.

[0003] One of the prior examples is, for example, the most recent ones such as Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No.
No.-34078, No. 1-82079, No. 2-
No. 61382, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 4-27974, and the like are known, and as an example using two tightening band pieces, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-109668 is also known. ing.

[0004]

However, the prior art known in the prior art has the following problems because the tightening band piece is wound around the entire gripped hand. That is, in the case of the conventional prior art example, one end of the tightening band piece has the outer surface position of the back of the hand, the outer surface position of the base of the thumb, the outer surface position of the middle finger, the ring finger, the little finger,
It is fixed to the outer surface of the wrist, etc., so that when gripping, the free end side of the band piece wraps around the middle finger, ring finger, little finger (hereinafter referred to as three fingers) gripped by turning the outside of the base of the thumb Wrap or bridge directly to the three fingers from the base of the thumb and wrap the thumb so that the thumb and the three fingers sandwiching the shaft are close together, or wrap the gripped hand by turning the outside of the base of the thumb from the finger side In such a manner, the wound end is fixed to the back of the hand or the wrist.

[0005] In such a configuration, when the outside of the base of the thumb is wound around to bridge to the finger side, or when the outside of the base of the thumb is turned around from the finger side to be fixed to the back side, Regardless of the wrapping method, the band is tightly wrapped around the gripped hand, so the band is strongly pressed against the joint at the base of the thumb or the back of the hand is rounded. As a result, the muscles of the back of the hand were stiffened as a whole, resulting in the impairment of normal hand movement and the adverse effect of causing a missed shot.

When the gripped hand is wrapped around the outside from outside, the tightening force of the band piece is directly pressed against the contact portion between the gripped shaft and the three fingers in contact with the shaft. Is not achieved, and the shaft gripped between the thumb and the three fingers is only indirectly tightened through the bulge of the base of the thumb, so the tightening force is weak, and if you try to increase the grip force, tighten it. As a result, the stretching length (shrinking force) of the band piece must be increased, which increases the compression of the joints and the stiffness of the back of the hand due to the above-mentioned tightening band piece, and the above-mentioned adverse effects become even greater. Derived from the evil.

The prior art described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. Sho 60-109668 has two tightening band pieces, one of which has one end near the palm of the hand. It is fixed to the shaft so that the shaft and three fingers are wrapped around, but this one band piece is combined with the other band piece with one end fixed to the back of the hand and wound around the finger side and fixed Therefore, it is inevitable that the above-mentioned problem still arises in this prior example.

A first object of the present invention is to provide a golf glove capable of enhancing the grip strength of mainly the little finger and the third finger among the three fingers on the gripping hand side without deriving the above-mentioned problems, and a second object of the present invention. The purpose of this is that when using gloves as ordinary gloves, the tightening band pieces when not in use do not interfere with the gloves, and protect the gloves from damage when not in use. It is to provide a golf glove having a function.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a method in which one end is fixed near the base of the little finger and ring finger on the palm surface of the glove body, and the other end is extended in the wrist direction to freely move. A band-shaped tightening band piece having elasticity at the end is provided, and the free end side of this band piece is turned halfway around the gripped portion of the shaft when gripping, and folded back in the back direction of the little finger and ring finger in the gripped state. The end is the little finger, 1 or 2 of the ring finger
Means that can be detachably fixed to the back of the finger are provided, and the tightening band piece is a bag that can insert a required portion of the free end side with the free end side extended in the wrist direction when not in use. It is characterized by comprising a part.

[0010]

According to this structure, the tightening band piece is arranged inside the palm surface of the glove body, and the free end side is turned by turning the grip portion of the gripped shaft when gripping. Of the little finger and the third finger, and the ends thereof are fixed to the backs of one or two fingers of the little finger or the third finger, so that the fastening band piece presses the joint of the base of the thumb or the back of the hand. The grip can be strengthened without inducing muscular rigidity of the back of the hand.

Also, the contraction force of the tightening band piece directly acts on the pressure contact force between the grip portion of the gripped shaft and the little finger or ring finger in contact with the grip portion, so that the contraction length is reduced. The grip strength of the grip can be greatly enhanced with a short tightening band piece.

Further, the fastening band piece has a bag portion in which the free end side of the band piece can be extended in the wrist direction to insert a required portion on the free end side in a non-use state. By inserting the free end side of the tightening band piece into the bag portion, the tightening band piece does not get in the way as a result, so that the glove can be used as an ordinary glove. Is located on the extension of the little finger and ring finger opposite to the finger direction, so that the glove palm surface at a point that is relatively easy to tear by contacting the end of the gripped shaft grip is tightened when not in use. The function that the piece protects is also obtained.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. First, in a state where the glove body 1 is worn on the left hand, the shaft grip 3 of the club is gripped at a predetermined set position as usual. When entering this state, the fastening band piece 2 has the attachment / detachment portion 22 on its free end side drawn out of the bag portion 25. When gripping, the fixing portion 22 at one end of the tightening band piece 2 is
The grip is gripped between the shaft grip 3 to be gripped and the palm surface A.

After gripping the shaft grip portion 3, the user attaches the detachable portion 22 on the free end side of the tightening band piece 2 with the right hand and pulls the detachable portion 22 to extend the rubber band portion 21. The rubber band portion 21 is turned substantially half way around the shaft grip portion 3 from the state shown in FIG. 5 to the state shown in FIG. 6, and is folded toward the little finger bag 1e and the ring finger bag 1d in the gripped state.
e, the female tape 4 on the attaching / detaching portion 23 is engaged with the male tapes 5 and 6 attached to the intermediate backs of the respective fingers via the outside of the fingertip of the ring finger bag 1d, and the fastening band piece 2 is free. The ends are fixed to the middle back of the little finger bag 1e and the ring finger bag 1d. (See Fig. 7)

In the wrapped state of the fastening band piece 2, as shown in FIG. 8, first, the rubber band portion 21 covers the fingertip portions of the little finger bag 1e and the ring finger bag 1d in the gripped state from the outside, and the little finger, The ring finger comes into pressure contact with the shaft grip portion 3, and the contraction force of the rubber band portion 21 presses the fingertip portions of the little finger and the ring finger to the shaft grip portion 3 in contact therewith as a winding force in the direction of arrow C. Act on.

The contraction force of the rubber band portion 21 in association with the winding force in the direction of the arrow C causes the middle portion between the little finger and the ring finger to press against the shaft grip portion 3 in contact with this as the pressing force in the direction of the arrow D. Work on.

Further, the contraction force of the rubber band portion 21 in relation to the winding force in the direction of arrow C acts as a grip force in the direction of arrow G to increase the overall grip force of the little finger and ring finger on the shaft grip portion 3. I do.

As a result, the grip pressure of the little finger and the third finger on the left hand side with respect to the shaft grip portion 3 is increased, and the grip strength of the little finger, the third finger, and the middle finger, which are important for gripping, is strengthened, and also during the swing. Since the contraction force is exerted by the rubber band portion 21, it is possible to prevent a disadvantage that the grip is loosened in the swing process.

Further, the tightening band piece 2 is located on the palm surface A of the glove body 1 and one end thereof is fixed near the base of the little finger and the ring finger. The detachable part 23 of the little finger bag 1 in the grip state
e, since it is a method of fixing to the middle back via the outside of the fingertip of the ring finger bag 1d, the tightening band piece 2 presses the finger joint of the base of the thumb and the base joint of the middle finger, the ring finger, the little finger, or the back of the hand. The grip strength of the grip can be enhanced without inducing muscle stiffness.

When the tightening band piece 2 is not used, a required portion of its free end is formed inside the palm surface A with the tightening band piece 2 extended to the wrist side as described above. Since it can be inserted into the part 25, the gloves can be used as ordinary gloves without the clinging band pieces 2 getting in the way, and at this time, the clamping band pieces 2 are moved in the finger direction of the little finger and the ring finger. A function of protecting the palm surface A of the glove palm at a place where it is relatively easily broken by contacting the end of the shaft gripping portion 3 gripped because it is located on the extension line on the opposite side to the fastening band piece 2 when not in use. Is also obtained.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention can be similarly applied to a right-handed golf glove worn by a left-handed person, and the fastening band piece 2 has a surface in contact with the shaft grip portion 3. Various means for preventing the grip from slipping can be applied to the present invention.

[0031]

According to the present invention, as described above, an elastic band-shaped tightening band piece located on the palm side of the glove body is fixedly arranged at one end, and is used for gripping. The free end side of this band piece is fixed to the back of the little finger and ring finger in the gripped state by rotating the gripped shaft grip portion, so that the contracting force of the tightening band piece becomes equal to the gripped shaft grip portion. Since the structure is such that the two fingers are directly tightened against the pressing force between the little finger and the ring finger in contact therewith, the grip gripping force can be greatly enhanced by the tightening band piece having a short expansion and contraction stroke.

In addition, the configuration is such that the free end side of the elastic tightening band piece, one end of which is fixed to the palm surface of the glove body, is gripped with the little finger in a gripped state by half-circling the gripped shaft gripping part when gripping.か ら Because it is a method of turning back and fixing the ring finger, the tightening band piece presses the knuckle of the base of the thumb and the knuckle of the index finger, the middle finger, the ring finger bag, the little finger bag, and also causes the rigidity of the back of the hand muscle. It is possible to provide a golf glove that can enhance the grip strength without a grip.

In addition, when not in use, the free end side of the tightening band piece extended to the wrist side is inserted into the bag portion, so that the tightening band piece does not get in the way with the palm of the hand. Therefore, it can be used as a normal glove. In this case, the tightening band piece is located on the extension line opposite to the finger direction of the little finger and the ring finger, and comes into contact with the end of the grip portion of the gripped shaft. The function of protecting the palm surface of the glove at the place where it is easily broken by the tightening band piece when not in use is also obtained.
