A glove is provided and includes a cuff providing an opening to the glove. A back panel defines a first portion of finger sheaths and a thumb sheath and extends along the finger sheaths and the thumb sheath to the cuff. A palm panel is disposed on an opposite side of the glove from the back panel and defines a second portion of the finger sheaths and the thumb sheath. The palm panel is formed from a material having a greater coefficient of friction than a material of the back panel and extends along the finger sheaths and the thumb sheath to the cuff. The palm panel tapers in a direction from the finger sheaths to the cuff. A gusset extends between and is attached to the back panel and the palm panel and is formed from a different material than the back panel and the palm panel.

The present disclosure describes a a protective glove for a human hand including a glove body comprised of flexible sheet material and configured to overlie the thumb, the second, third, fourth, and fifth digits, the back of the palm, and the knife edge of the hand of a wearer; for each of the second, third, fourth, and fifth digits, at least one elongate flexible lattice cushion connected to the glove body and overlying the dorsal surface of each digit; and at least one planar flexible lattice cushion configured to overlie the dorsal aspect of the palm.

A glove, in particular a goalkeeper glove. The glove includes a plurality of protrusions that protrude from a backside of the glove and extend in a first direction away from the backside. The protrusions are adapted to deform in a second direction that includes a component perpendicular to the first direction.

A bowling glove includes a glove body including a palm portion configured to cover a palm of a wearer, and a protruding nub securably attachable to the palm portion of the glove body such that the location of the protruding nub relative to the palm portion of the glove body is selectively adjustable. The protruding nub is configured to protrude from the palm portion of the glove body, and the protruding nub is configured to be received by a bore of a bowling ball. A method of manufacturing the bowling glove and a method of fitting a bowling ball to the bowling glove are further described.

Disclosed is a base material for preparing a finger protection structure, including a main body and abutment blocks. Four corners of each abutment block form four corner cut portions, two corner cut portions of two adjacent abutment blocks together form two first gaps, and areas of the main body exposed to the first gaps are defined as elastic deformation areas. A finger protection structure is cut out of the main body along two elastic deformation areas and one second gap. The finger protection structure includes a base plate and the abutment blocks. Areas of the base plate exposed to the first gaps are defined as elastic deformation areas. When a stressed surface is impacted by a frontal impact force, the abutment blocks abut against each other and the base plate straightens. When the stressed surface is impacted by a lateral rotation force, the elastic deformation areas are elastically deformed.

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 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 more operable in various sports activities.

A glove comprising a trap or palm area that is designed to receive the end section of a football is provided herein. The shape of the glove has a continuous round edge, which allows the edge to act as a funnel to guide all errant throws into the webbing of the glove. With the rounded shape of the glove, the overall width of the glove will allow for a larger surface area for successfully catching a throw. The overall width and larger surface area of the glove further serves to reduce the chance a caught football will pop out of the glove.

An apparatus comprising a pair of gloves, wherein an index finger portion of a left glove is connected to an index finger portion of a right glove, and wherein a thumb portion of the left glove is connected to a thumb portion of the right glove.

A cupping band for bowling includes a wrist band that is installed to be supported on a user's wrist, and a finger band elastically deformably connected to the wrist band. The finger band has, on one side, a hole in which the user's finger is placed to pull the user's finger toward a palm.

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.
