A fingerless computer input glove that can slide easily on a mouse pad, thereby enabling longer game play and longer work sessions using a computer mouse or trackball, without discomfort or fatigue. The fingerless computer input glove employs various sizes and numbers of glides to enable each user to customize the glove according to one's individual style of use, such as adjusting wrist angle. The fingerless computer input glove includes a palm panel having an attachment surface, a back panel joined to the palm panel, a thumb opening portion joined to both the palm panel and to the back panel, a wrist portion joined to the palm panel and to the back panel, the wrist portion having a wrist securement strap, and at least one glide attachable to the attachment surface of the palm panel OR a neoprene rubber pad attachable to the attachment surface of the palm panel.

Exercise grip and methods of forming exercise grips are disclosed. In one aspect, an exercise grip includes a wrist strap and a protective portion. The protective portion has a palm end and a finger end. The palm end is located closer to the wrist strap than the finger end. The finger end is formed offset from a centerline axis of the palm end of the protective portion.

A batting aid to be worn on a thumb of a distal hand of a baseball player while gripping a handle of a baseball bat. The batting aid includes a thumb ring to secure the batting aid to the thumb, and a cushioning saddle integrated with the thumb ring. The saddle has a crest portion configured to engage a portion of the index finger of the distal hand, also having at least one resiliently deformable flap configured to extend substantially along a middle portion of the metacarpal bone of the index finger. The batting aid minimizes the transmission of vibration and impact from the bat hitting a ball, thereby reducing pain and injury. The batting aid conforms to the bat handle and improves a player's grip on the bat. Because the resiliently deformable flap is self-aligning on the player's hand, the player can more easily concentrate on hitting pitched balls.

A color splash effect is established by a darker backdrop color of an outer surface of a liquid proof and heat resistant glove in the event that a portion of the glove ruptures or fails. The color splash effect is accomplished by a lighter and brighter color being visible through the rupture in the glove. The lighter and brighter color may be formed on or as part of a protective member positioned beneath the outer layer. The protective member also protects the wearer against sharp objects contacting the outer layer of the glove and moving over the protective member. Some embodiments provide that the protective member is in a thumb crotch region of the glove.

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.

A protective device for use in a high temperature and liquid environment provides a glove integrally formed with a protective member in the thumb webbing region. The protective member is not readily detectable when viewing the outside of the glove. The protective member is cut resistant and constructed to protect a workman's hand as a sharp and hot object passes over the protective member contacting the outer surface of the glove.

A hand grip support device is provided which includes a shaft having a tapered leading edge portion formed on a first side of the shaft and a curved edge portion formed on a second side of the hand aid device where the first side is opposite to the second side. A user may grasp the hand grip aid device so that the tapered leading edge portion is supported by the fingers in a closed first position while the curved edge portion is configured to receive a round or cylindrically shaped object, allowing the user to properly grasp round or cylindrical objects resulting in greater grip strength and less hand fatigue.

Exercise grip and methods of forming exercise grips are disclosed. In one aspect, an exercise grip includes a wrist strap and a protective portion. The protective portion has a palm end and a finger end. The palm end is located closer to the wrist strap than the finger end. The finger end is formed offset from a centerline axis of the palm end of the protective portion.

Aspects herein are directed to a sock having a plurality of toe-anchor knit courses that form a toe anchor that divides a toe-end opening of the sock into a first toe-end opening and a second toe-end opening by extending across the toe-end opening from a dorsal portion of the toe-end opening to a plantar portion of the toe-end opening. The toe-anchor knit courses are integrally knit with the sock body.

A slap wrap style grip augmentation strap is provided in which the extended securing strap is lined with a bistable ribbon formed of metal or similarly functioning material. The lined strap extends from a wrist loop and provide a self-wrapping ability which allows the user to get a tighter and more uniform grip that was previously much harder or near impossible to obtain with other lifting straps. Gripping efficiency is improved with quickly applied, strong and equal equally applied attachment to a targeted piece of exercise equipment. The use of a strap of the present invention will encourage proper body mechanics during lifting exercises that would help prevent these potential dangers. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
