Finger web swimming aid

Abstract

A finger web swimming aid embodying fingerstalls and web membranes molded to form one integral body therefrom, and wherein the web membranes are connected between side walls of each of the fingerstalls. The fingerstalls provide ends of each of tubular members allow for the first joint of each of the user's fingers to expose therefrom. Ribbed edges are configured on outer edges of each of the web membranes, which enhance strength and allow for easy removal thereof. Furthermore, a plurality of grooves are further defined on surfaces of each of the web membranes, and which provide the web membranes with a moderate degree of concavity, and functions in coordination with flexing of the fingers of the user. In particular, when necessary, easy removal of at least one finger of the three center fingers from the fingerstalls is effectuated, and which thereby facilitates manipulative movements therewith.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] (a) Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a structural design of a finger web swimming aid, and more particularly to the finger web swimming aid that provides for easy wearing on fingers of a swimmer, thereby enabling the swimmer to realize enhancement to paddling motive force by means of web membrane connections between side walls of fingerstalls, while still maintaining dexterity in movement of the fingers of the swimmer. [0003] (b) Description of the Prior Art [0004] A conventional web-fingered glove 10 (see FIG. 8) primary provides usage for when swimming and diving, thereupon providing functionality similar to that of flippers by means of membranes 102 connected between each of fingerstalls 101. Accordingly, upon a swimmer wearing the web-fingered glove 10 on a hand, paddling motive force of the hand of the swimmer is thereby enhanced. [0005] However, because of hindrance resulting from thickness of the web membranes 1...

Benefits of technology

[0006] A primary objective of the present invention is to provide a structural design of a finger web swimming aid embodying two portions structured so as to comprise fingerstalls and web membranes molded to form one integral body therefrom, and wherein the web membranes are connected between side walls of each of the fingerstalls. The fingerstalls provide for the fingers of a user to insert thereinto, and whereby ends of each of tubular members of the fingerstalls allow for the first joint of each of the fingers to expose therefrom. A plurality of grooves are further defined on surfaces of each of the web membranes, whereby configuration of the grooves is such to provide the web membranes with a moderate degree of concavity, thereby providing the web membranes with flexing functionality to function in coordina

Problems solved by technology

However, because of hindrance resulting from thickness of the web membranes 102, and, moreover, because the fingerstalls 101 are of a complete finger-type structure and fitted onto the fingers, therefore, upon a user wearing the web-fingered glove 10 on the hand, concerted movement between the fingers is impeded thereof, moreover, hindrance in dexterity of the fingertips results there because.

The web-fingered gloves 10 having such a mode of usage not only results in putting on and removing of the web-fingered gloves 10 time consuming, moreover, because the web-fingered glo
