Golf glove

Abstract

According to one embodiment, a golf glove includes: a main body that includes a palm side portion and a back side portion, the palm side portion being configured to fit to a palm of a hand of a golfer, the back side portion being configured to fit to a back side of the hand; a first slip preventive element placed at least on a first area that is interior of a grip receiving area on an outer surface of the main body, where a grip portion of a golf club is in contact with the main body when the golfer grips the golf club; wherein the first slip preventive element has a larger slip resistance to sweat of the hand and water coming into an inside of the golf glove than the main body.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2007-037583, filed Feb. 19, 2007, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a golf glove which fits closely to a bare hand of a golfer so as to allow the golfer to swing accurately under every condition which includes wet weather or hot weather in summer under which sweat is secreted from the hand of the golfer.[0003]When playing golf, a glove has been an inevitable item for a hand of a golfer to keep a firm grip on the club in general for an accurate swing. Different from those worn for fashion or protecting hands against coldness, the golf glove is formed of an extremely thin material so as to cover closely and entirely a palm side area and a back side area of the hand of the golfer, and in the case of a right-handed player, the glove is mainly pu...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0013]In this way, the invention is characterized in that the preventive elements which exhibit the high resistance to slip relative to water secreted from the hand of the golfer and water which penetrates into the golf glove in wet weather are affixed to the specific locations on the inner surface of at least the portions on the palm side area or the back side area of the glove main body with which the grip portion of the golf club is brought into abutment, whereby the stable grip is obtainable under every condition, thereby making it possible to prevent effectively miss hitting.

Problems solved by technology

However, almost all of these devices are those made for preventing the slip on the surface of the glove main body but not devices made for attempting to prevent a slip between the bare hand of the golfer and an inner surface of the golf main body.

Namely, water adheres to the palm of the hand of the golfer under wet weather or due to sweat being secreted from the hand of the golfer in summer and stays between an inner surface of the glove main body and the palm of the golfer's hand, producing a very slippery condition.

Even though the slip preventive treatment is applied on the surface of the glove main body, since the slippery condition is produced in the interior of the glove main body, it becomes difficult to keep a firm grip on the club.
