Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2004-57481 (FIG. 1)

  According to the baseball glove described in Patent Document 1, the web is forcibly held between the thumb bag and the index finger bag by a thin string, but the impact force applied to the web when the ball is caught. As a result, the thin string may be broken or stretched, so that the web is lowered to the palm side by its own weight. This is specifically shown in FIG. That is, in FIG. 9, a pair of upper and lower upper members 3A and 3B having a length extending between the thumb bag 1 and the index finger bag 2, and a vertical member 3C for connecting the pair of members 3A and 3B in the vertical direction. 9 is pulled up by a thin string 20 that penetrates the palm-side end of the substantially I-shaped web 3 through the palm-side part 5 of the grab, but the thin string 20 extends as shown in FIG. Then, the web 3 is lowered from the position indicated by the two-dot chain line to the position indicated by the solid line due to its own weight, and the ball is missed during catching. As described above, the missed ball may hit the body, and there is room for improvement.

  In view of the above-described situation, the present invention intends to solve the problem of reliably preventing the web from dropping due to its own weight even during long-term use while improving design and reducing weight. Is to provide a baseball glove and a baseball glove web.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a web that constitutes a ball catching member for catching a ball by filling a gap formed between a thumb bag and an index finger bag, with the thumb in the left-right width direction. A gap is formed between the side of the bag and the side of the index finger bag facing the side of the bag, and between the palm side end of the web and the palm portion positioned between the thumb bag and the index finger bag. It has a width dimension that covers a part and has a length extending between the palm side end portion and the palm portion of the web, and a shape in which one member is overlapped is substantially V-shaped or substantially U-shaped. By connecting the webs for connection configured in a letter shape, one end of the member before being overlapped is passed through the web and then overlapped and fixed in an intimate contact with adhesive or sewing, or both. the member connected to the web, the string palm portion side end portion of the connecting web to the palm portion And linked, constitute a glove baseball, characterized in that the concatenation of the web and該掌part partially overlapping state of the connecting web and the web and the palm portion.
In addition, in order to fill the gap formed between the thumb bag and the index finger bag of the baseball glove and catch the ball, the side of the thumb bag and the side of the index finger bag located opposite to the thumb bag In the connected baseball grab web, “having a lateral width dimension covering a part of a gap between a palm side end portion of the web and a palm portion located between the thumb bag and an index finger bag, and The webs for connecting, which have a length extending between the palm side end portion of the web and the palm portion, and in which the shape obtained by superimposing a single member is substantially V-shaped or substantially U-shaped, One end of the member before alignment is passed through the web and then overlapped and fixed and integrated in an intimate contact with adhesive and / or sewing, and the member is connected to the web . palm portion side end portion of the web is connected via a cord to the palm portion, said web and said May be a baseball glove web, characterized in that in a state in which a part of the connecting web overlapping the portion connecting the web and該掌portion "was.

By connecting the web and the palm part with the web for connection in a state where a part of the web for connection overlaps the web and the palm part, the distance (interval) between the web and the palm part is always set. In addition to being able to maintain a large size, a large impact force is applied in the case of a configuration in which it is pulled up by a thin string, or it is torn off or extended due to long-term use, etc. It is possible to provide a baseball glove and a baseball glove web that can be reliably prevented and that the web does not fall down for a long period of time and can be used satisfactorily. In addition, by configuring the connecting web so as to have a left and right width dimension that covers a part of the gap between the palm side end portion of the web and the palm portion located between the thumb bag and the index finger bag, the design can be improved. A baseball glove and a baseball glove web that can be improved and reduced in weight can be obtained.
Furthermore, since the connecting web is composed of one member superposed, it is possible to carry out the superposition work without being displaced as compared with the constitution of superposing two members. It becomes advantageous in terms.
In addition, not only can one end of the member penetrate the web and then be overlapped and integrated by adhesive or sewing or both, thereby eliminating the need for a string for connecting the member to the web side. The connecting work is not necessary, and it is possible not only to improve the sense of unity between the web and the member and to improve the design, but also in terms of manufacturing.

  FIG. 1 shows a baseball glove having a web 3 for filling a gap formed between a thumb bag 1 and an index finger bag 2. Although not shown, this baseball glove has three finger bags (middle finger bag, ring finger bag, little finger bag) in addition to the two finger bags. The shape and configuration of a baseball glove, such as a finger bag, is not limited to that shown in the figure. In general, the finger bag, the web, and the connecting web, which will be described later, are preferably made of leather, synthetic leather, or a material substantially the same as these, but may be made of other materials.

  The web 3 has a length extending between the upper end (tip) of the thumb bag 1 and the upper end (tip) of the index finger bag 2, and between the upper end of the thumb bag 1 and the upper end of the index finger bag 2 via the string 4. The thumb bag 1 is configured to have a length extending from the upper member 3A connected to the center of the thumb bag 1 to the longitudinal center of the thumb bag 1 and the longitudinal center of the index finger bag 2 through a string (not shown). The lower member 3B connected between the longitudinal center of the index finger bag 2 and the longitudinal center of the index finger bag 2, and the longitudinal center of the upper and lower members 3A, 3B are connected to each other in the vertical direction via strings 3D, 3E. The vertical members 3C connected to each other are formed in a substantially I shape. However, as shown in FIG. 5, a substantially rectangular shape in which one piece is folded and overlapped (in the figure, a rectangular shape, but a square shape). Web 3), and the shape of web 3 is It can be freely changed. The members and the strings constituting the web 3 are generally preferably made of leather, synthetic leather, or a material substantially the same as these, but may be made of other materials.

The web 3 has a lateral width that covers a part of the gap S between the palm side end of the web 3 and the palm portion 5 located between the thumb bag 1 and the index finger bag 2, and the palm of the web 3. In a state where a part of a substantially V-shaped connecting web 6 having a length extending from the side end portion to the palm portion 5 overlaps the web 3 and the palm portion 5, the connecting web 6 is connected to the web 3. And the palm portion 5 are connected.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the connecting web 6 is composed of a single member, and one end of this member 6 is formed on the lower member 3B of the web 3 as shown in FIG. After passing through the through-holes 3K and 3K and overlapping and temporarily fixing with an adhesive (not shown), a double annular portion is drawn using the thread 7 (see FIGS. 1 and 2). Although the overlapped portion is prevented from being peeled off by sewing, the overlapped portion may be fixed in an intimate contact state with only the adhesive or only by sewing. Then, the palm portion side end portion of the member 6 which is integrated and overlapped is inserted through the through holes 6B and 6B formed in the member 6 and the through hole (not shown) formed in the palm portion 5. By connecting through the braid 8 (see FIG. 1) to complete the connecting operation of the member (connecting web) 6, not only can the sense of unity be improved, but also the lower member 3B of the member 6 There is an advantage that the string for connecting to can be made unnecessary and the connection work by the string can be made unnecessary, but each of the upper and lower ends of the member 6 may be connected by the string. In addition, the shape of the overlapped member 6 is substantially V-shaped. However, as shown in FIG. 3, it is substantially I-shaped (in this case, a pair of members 6 is used. 1 may be configured, or as shown in FIG. 4, it may be configured in a substantially U shape, or in an X shape, although not shown. You may comprise, and the shape of the member 6 is not limited to these shapes. The substantially I-shaped connecting web 6 and the substantially U-shaped connecting web 6 shown in the figure are also composed of a single member in the same manner as described above, and there is little misalignment when overlapping. Although there exists an advantage which can perform an operation | work easily, it can also comprise from two members.

As shown in FIG. 6, a pair of notches 3Z and 3Z for allowing a part of the connecting web 6 to enter into the palm side end of the web 3 are formed, and the web 3 is formed in the notches 3Z and 3Z.
