A massaging device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a fastener configured to removably attach to a human hand; a first base non-rotatably attached to the fastener; a second base rotatably attached to the first base, wherein the second base is configured to rotate about a first axis; an interface mechanism configured to permit adjustment of a rotational position of the first base with respect to the second base among two or more rotational positions; a cylinder coupled to the second base, wherein the cylinder is configured to rotate about a second axis, and wherein the first axis and the second axis are not parallel, and wherein the cylinder does not directly contact the first or second bases.

A glove having three receiving tubes for a thumb, an index finger and a middle finger of a hand, which tubes are joined together and are combined together with a region adjacent to the edge of the thumb on the hand to form a wrist cuff so that a cut-out remains which exposes a ring finger, a little finger, an edge of the hand and the adjacent regions of the palm and the back of the hand, which cut-out is seamed at least in sections in a stabilising manner.

A grip to be worn on the hands to improve the grip on held equipment, while maintaining sensibility and protecting the skin during activities. The grip includes a shaped sheet and an adhesive layer adhereable to skin. The shaped sheet includes a central portion, between-the-fingers and between-finger-and-wrist appendices extending from a perimeter edge of the central portion. The perimeter edge extends and covers beyond a palm of the hand when applied thereto, with the between-the-fingers appendices adhering around at least one finger and back on the palm of the hand or on the back of the hand and the between-finger-and-wrist adhering to the back of the hand. A removable protective film covers the adhesive layer, and includes a plurality of removable sectors. The sectors can include a central portion subdivided into three or more segments, and the between-the-fingers and between-finger-and-wrist appendices that can be subdivided into two or more segments.

According to the various features, characteristics and embodiments of the present invention which will become apparent as the description thereof proceeds, the present invention provides partially fingered gloves intended to increase the overall performance in sports activities including but not limited to football and golf. Primarily because of its unique finger configurations, and/or grip enhancers, and/or hand protective properties, the present invention makes a glove operable in various sports activities.

An athletic glove having an inner glove with one or more protective members is discussed. Protective members may include metacarpal support members attached to the dorsal side of the inner glove configured to protect at least a portion of a metacarpal bone of the human hand; volar and dorsal metacarpal support member attached to the volar and dorsal sides of the inner glove, respectively, and configured to protect at least a portion of a carpometacarpal joint, a metacarpal bone, a metacarpal joint, and a proximal phalanx of a thumb of the human hand; and volar and dorsal distal phalange support members attached to the volar and dorsal sides, respectively, of the inner glove and configured to protect at least a portion of a distal phalanx of the thumb of the human hand. Optionally, the inner glove may include a protective strap.

A glove includes a glove body having a resilient plucking device secured at the distal end of each of the glove fingers. The pinky finger portion of the glove is open. The glove has a securement strap about the wrist of the glove.

A self-defense glove. The self-defense glove includes a body having a palm portion, a rear portion, and a plurality of finger openings, each of the finger openings configured to receive a finger therethrough. A pocket configured to receive a spray-deterrent canister such as a pepper spray canister is disposed on the rear portion. A control is disposed on the palm portion. When activated by a user, the control is configured to actuate the pepper spray canister, causing pepper spray to be emitted therefrom. The control is also configured to actuate at least one electrode sending an electrical current therethrough. The user may aim the pepper spray canister in the direction of an attacker and activate the control in order to incapacitate the attacker with the pepper spray. The rear portion further includes a warning label and a light thereon in order to deter would-be assailants from initiating a confrontation.

The invention is guiding means that are adapted to serve as guides to accurately locate specific locations on the body to be stimulated in order to prevent, diagnose, and treat specific types of diseases and other conditions in humans and animals. The invention includes specially modified and personalized articles of clothing and an apparatus for supporting an organ of a human or animal body adapted for accurately positioning and orienting the organ with respect to each other a device for administering the stimulation or the healing process. The apparatus and embodiments of the articles of clothing are adapted as stands that support devices used to apply stimulation to the location. The applied stimulation can be any of the therapies which depend on the application of energy or force to specific locations on the body.

Palm cooling gloves and similar articles are disclosed which may be worn during exercise or when exposed to warm ambient temperatures. Unlike other items related to thermal exchange, the disclosed devices provide for intermittent cooling in order to ultimately increase the overall rate and magnitude of conductive heat loss from the human body. According to an example embodiment, gloves are provided with high thermal conductivity for rapid rates of heat transfer when the palm is to be cooled, and low thermal conductivity when the palm is not to be cooled. During non-cooling periods, a cooling agent is temporarily stored within a compartment located on the back (dorsal aspect) of the glove. The compartment is comprised of materials with a low thermal conductivity so that the cooling agent retains more of its cold, which allows it to be used repeatedly when palm cooling is again needed to rid the body of excess heat. With a glove that offers both scenarios, users can engage in intermittent palm cooling and reap the benefits of excess body heat removal/transfer.

In one embodiment, a hand apparatus, such as a glove or a mitten, with attachable securing members is disclosed. The hand apparatus can have a hand receiving portion, one or more finger portions, a thumb portion, and a body portion. The body portion comprises a dorsal side, a palm side, a first securing member, and a second securing member. The body portion can also comprise of a third securing member attached between the far side and near side of the body portion. The securing members can be attachable to the other securing members by fasteners.
