DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS
[0066] A first preferred exemplary embodiment of a glove 1 according to the invention is illustrated in
[0067] The glove 1 which is most often formed from a plurality of textile elements and layers, has padding elements and/or reinforcement elements at various locations so as to protect the hand of the user against injury on account of impact or abrasion. The glove 1 likewise preferably has insulation material so as to prevent an ingress of cold and wet.
[0068] For the purpose of setting the width of the worn glove 1, or for adapting the size of the glove to the size of the hand of the wearer, and for preventing the glove 1 from slipping on the hand of the user, the glove 1 on the glove upper side 2 thereof, or on the back of the glove that covers the hand dorsum of the user, respectively, has a lacing system. Said lacing system is preferably disposed between a wrist seam which delimits a wrist region 9 toward the bottom, and an articulation of the finger coverings 5-8. The lacing system in the exemplary embodiment illustrated in
[0069] When the tensioning wheel 12 is rotated in a second direction S2, counter to the tensioning direction S1, that is to say rotated in a relaxing direction S2, the tensioning lace 13 is thus again released from the tensioner housing 20 and the total length of the portion of the tensioning lace 13 protruding from the tensioner housing 20 on the glove surface 2 is increased. On account thereof, the width of the variable region 31 is increased again, as is the spacing between the second guide strap 18 which is disposed in the region, or in the proximity, of the saddle region 23, respectively, and through which a second deflection region 15 of the tensioning lace 13 is guided, and the second guide strap 18 which is disposed in the region of the tensioning element 11, as also between the third guide strap 19 which is disposed below the first guide strap 17 and through which a third deflection region 16 of the tensioning lace 13 is guided, and the second guide strap 18 which is disposed in the region of the tensioning element 11. This causes an increase in terms of the fit, or the width, respectively, of the worn glove 1 on the hand of the user.
[0070] As is illustrated in
[0071] In the present exemplary embodiment, the movable strap 25 is fastened to the material of the glove 1, or anchored therein, respectively, in the saddle region 23. A fastening element 24, or a fastening strip, respectively, is sewn on by way of the fastening location of the strap 25, said fastening element 24, or said fastening strip, respectively, having two recesses for passing through the cord forming the strap 25. The fastening element 24 in the exemplary embodiment illustrated is configured as an oval patch, as can be seen in
[0072] In the present exemplary embodiment of
[0073] A first reinforcement strip 26 is guided from the saddle region 23 toward the glove upper side 2, or toward the hand dorsum, respectively. The first reinforcement strip 26 has two ends, of which a first end is fastened, or sewn or molded, respectively, to the fastening element 24 for the strap 25, and a second end is fastened, or sewn or molded, respectively, to a first guide strap 17 through which a tensioning lace 13 of the lacing system is guided.
[0074] When the tensioning lace 13 is now tensioned, the first reinforcement strip 26 by way of the first guide strap 17 is imparted a tension, or a first force, respectively, in the direction of the tensioning element 11. However, when the movable strap 25 is coupled to a pole handle, a second force in the opposite direction engages on the movable strap 25 and thus, by way of the fastening element 24, also on the first reinforcement strip 26. The lacing system, or the tensioning system, respectively, thus acts indirectly as a force counter to the tensile force which, in the case of a coupling to a pole handle, pulls on the movable strap 25.
[0075] On account thereof, the transmission of force from the arm, or the hand, respectively, to the pole handle and thus to the pole by way of the glove 1 is optimized, in particular when supported on the pole. The first reinforcement strip 26 in the exemplary embodiment of
[0076] In the present exemplary embodiment of
[0077] The tensioning region, or the variable region 31, respectively, can also be designed such that the upper material, or the external skin of the glove, respectively, is interrupted across the length of the tensioning region, wherein the front edges of the interrupted external skin which in this region lie opposite one another so as to be mutually exposed enclose therebetween an elongate face which is configured as an internal skin. This is the case, so to speak, in the second and the third preferred exemplary embodiment as is illustrated in
[0078] When tensioning the lacing system, or the tensioning system, respectively, the mutually opposite, or mutually facing two edges 34, 35, respectively, of the two cover tabs 28, 29 that define the intermediate space are moved toward one another. On account thereof, the intermediate space 30 is closed, and depending on the degree of tension the two cover tabs 28, 29 may even partially overlap in the region of the mutually facing edges 34, 35 of said cover tabs 28, 29.
[0079] In the exemplary embodiment illustrated of
[0080] In contrast to the second exemplary embodiment, the first guide strap 17 and the third guide strap 19 in the exemplary embodiment of
[0081] An exemplary embodiment of a hand strap which is in each case likewise equipped with one tensioning system for setting the width of the worn glove and can be fastened to the hand of the user is illustrated in
