An exercise device including an outer portion and an inner portion positioned within the outer portion. The inner and outer portions are attached together at a wrist portion in a fluid sealed manner to form a fluid tight cavity between the inner and outer portions. The inner and outer portions are be shaped and sized to provide at least one fluid flow channel or path extending from the wrist portion to a finger portion to allow fluid to flow from the wrist portion to the finger portion and back again, when a user is conducting reciprocating exercises and the fluid cavity is at least partially filled with fluid.

The present invention relates to a protective glove configured to protect a dorsal side of a hand of a user, comprising: a flexible layer configured to fit against a back of the hand and comprising extensions that are each configured to extend along and fit against a respective proximal phalanx of a finger: a rigid shell configured to extend over a metacarpal area and over knuckles of the back of the hand to thereby protect the back of the hand, wherein said shell is supported by said flexible layer and arranged at an offset relative to the back of the hand to thereby define a gap between the shell and the back of the hand: wherein one or more than one of the extensions that are configured to extend along the proximal phalanx of the finger supports a phalanx protector that is configured to extend over the respective proximal phalanx, wherein the phalanx protector is further configured to extend over a corresponding knuckle of the hand; andwherein, at least when the fingers are extended, the rigid shell and the phalanx protector define an overlap and the phalanx protector that extends over the corresponding knuckle extends in the offset that defines the gap between the rigid shell and the back of the hand.

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 multi-purpose glove includes protective or shock absorbing padding over the pulleys and tendons of the boney prominences of the fingers and thumb between adjacent joints of the boney prominences or phalanxes. The center axis of rotation of the individual joints are provided with expandable material positioned to overlie specific finger and thumb joints thereby defining motion or flexion zones at these joints.

A protective sports glove is provided with a padding arrangement having improved flexibility for the user of the protective glove. The glove includes: a palm portion that cooperates with a dorsal portion to receive a metacarpus part of a hand. A plurality of finger portions are formed at a joint along a top edge of the dorsal portion distal from a wrist. A backside pad is attached to the dorsal portion, such that the upper edge of the pad aligns with and extends along at least a portion of the joint but is detached from the dorsal portion. A plurality of padded segments are disposed along a length of each of said finger portions. The one padded segment is attached to the respective finger portion at opposing side edges thereof and detached along an edge adjacent to the joint with the dorsal portion.

Embodiments disclosed herein include devices and methods pertaining to gloves for protection of a wearer's hand. According to various embodiments of the disclosed technology, disclosed is a glove. The glove may include a glove body comprising a cuff portion, a palm portion, a thumb portion, and finger portions. The plurality of finger portions comprises at least one of an index finger portion, a middle finger portion, a ring finger portion, and a pinky finger portion. The glove may include a plurality of impact disbursement pads. The impact disbursement pads comprise finger pads, knuckle pads, metacarpal pads, and a thumb pad. The glove may include a webbing portion and knuckle pads. The glove body is formed from a first material, the webbing portion is formed from a second material, and the impact disbursement pads are formed from a third material.

A glove protecting a hand of a user while facilitating dexterity in police or military activities, such as firing a gun or operating a touch screen. A flame resistant glove body includes a palm sleeve, a thumb sleeve, a trigger finger sleeve and a plurality of finger sleeves extending distally from the palm sleeve. The trigger finger sleeve has a protective pad extending along a proximal back side thereof, and an unprotected distal portion extending from a distal end of the protective pad to a distal end of the trigger finger sleeve. A conductive tab is positioned on one or more sleeves for use in operating a touch screen while wearing the glove. The conductive tab can be provided on only one sleeve, such as the middle finger sleeve. Flame resistant padding is provided along a back side of the glove.

Protective gloves are provided. At least one of the protective gloves can include a flame resistant glove body including a palm sleeve, a thumb sleeve, a trigger finger sleeve, and a plurality of finger sleeves extending distally from the palm sleeve. The trigger finger sleeve has a protective pad extending along a proximal back side of the trigger finger sleeve. The trigger finger sleeve also has an unprotected distal portion extending from a distal end of the protective pad to a distal end of the trigger finger sleeve. The finger sleeve further includes a protective member covering a first portion of a side of the trigger finger sleeve and including an indentation adjacent a second portion of the side of the trigger finger sleeve. Respective conductive tabs can be positioned on one or more sleeves to operate a touch screen while wearing a protective glove.

A support element including a padding structure constructed of a plurality of interconnected spherical shaped structures together defining a pliable support element. The spherical shaped structures are interconnected to one another with a connection defining flexible interconnectors for enabling the padding structure to be flexibly bent.

A pair of protective gloves each glove having a glove body with finger portions that can be preselectively webbed together or each finger can be kept separated. The gloves are capable of withstanding heat, cold, puncture, shock and other similar hazards. One of the gloves includes an engagement member such as a magnetic member on the inner wrist portion of the glove that cooperates with an anchoring member on the inner wrist portion of the opposite glove that can be made of a ferromagnetic material to attract both gloves to each other. Once attracted a user can use a lip on the anchoring member to leverage his hands out of the gloves, thereby preventing the user from having to come in contact with the outside of the glove bodies when donning and doffing the gloves. Either or both glove assemblies can include a lighting assembly mounted thereon that provide illumination and visibility to a user desired work area.
