Webbed finger sheaths for swimming aid

Abstract

An improved “webbed finger sheaths for swimming aid” comprises the unitary integral body of truncated tubular structure and the web membrane, which being disposed between the longitudinal central lines on the lateral sides of the adjacent truncated tubular structures such that having same structure on both of the palmar side and back side for suitability of left-hand and right-hand, wherein, both ends of said truncated tubular structure are open not only to enable the fingers smoothly wearing through inside but also to let the fingertips protruding expose out for having the dexterity and maneuverability of the fingers during practical operation; And, said web membrane has at least one groove configured for sufficient flexibility; Moreover, at least one raised blade is configured on said web membrane, which being disposed between the adjacent truncated tubular structures, to increase the paddling effect.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION[0001](1) Technical Field[0002]The present invention relates to an improved “webbed finger sheaths for swimming aid”, particularly for one having both of the truncated tubular structure and the web membrane mutually connected each other for the purpose of achieving the swimming aid paddling effect as well as having at least one raised blade configured on said web membrane in order to produce better thrust and impulsion during swimming paddle for the user; Because both ends of said truncated tubular structure being adapted into truncated open structure, it provides the user not only to enable the fingers smoothly wearing through inside but also to promote the availability and flexibility due to no distinct issue in discerning between left-hand finger sheaths or right-hand finger sheaths so that the dexterity and maneuverability of the fingers of the user during practical operation can be enhanced by this improved “webbed finger sheaths for swimming ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0009]The main object of the present invention is to provide an improved “webbed finger sheaths for swimming aid” with functions of not only effectively achieving the swimming aid but also smoothly maintaining the dexterity and maneuverability of the finger for the wearer.

[0010]The next object of the present invention is to provide an improved “webbed finger sheaths for swimming aid” with simple structure and easy manufacture features.

[0013]Both ends of said truncated tubular structure are adapted into truncated open structure with a embossed rib surrounding the outer peripheral of each end respectively so as not only to effectively reinforce the strength of said truncated tubular structure but also to enable the fingers of the user smoothly wearing through inside so that the fingertips protruding exposed out of said truncated tubular structure for being not influential to the dexterity and maneuverability of the fingers of the user during practical operation so as to improve the existing drawback on the conventional counterpart.

[0014]Said web membrane has at least one groove configured for sufficient flexibility so as to substantially coordinate with the outspread and close action of the fingers; Besides, at least one raised blade with either curved-shape or cone-shape is configured on both of the front end of said web membrane in order to increase the paddling effect and the outer curved peripheral so as to effectively reinforce the integral strength of said web membrane.

[0015]Thereby, when the wearer is in swimming paddle, the web membrane will not only produce better thrust and impulsion for effectively promoting the moving capability in the water but also effectively reduce the wearer from athletic injure. Specially, during practical operation in swimming, as the present invention being worn on the middle section of the fingers and said web membrane being disposed between the longitudinal central lines on the lateral sides of the adjacent truncated tubular structures, hence the availability and flexibility for the user can be promoted due to having same structure on both of the palmar side (ventral side) and back side (dorsal side) without distinct issue in discerning between left-hand finger sheaths or right-hand finger sheaths.

Problems solved by technology

However, excreting a great quantity of sweat, the natural physiological phenomenon by metabolism during procedure of athletics and sports, is not acceptable to everybody for the sweat smell and sticky wet feeling; Hence, the swimming sport currently becomes one of the most desirably well-received sports owing to not only getting rid of the sweat smell but also achieving the effect in health care.

Referring to the FIG. 1B and FIG. 1C (the FIG. 3 of the U.S. Pat. No. 4,548,588), the left-hand swimming aid and right-hand swimming aid can not be interchangeably used each other (see the Figures of 3 and 4) and result in lack of convenience.

Specially, the left-hand swimming aid and right-hand swimming aid of the conventional swimming aid glove can not be interchangeably used each other and thus result in the inconvenience for the user.

All the foregoing facts proves that the conventional products aforesaid still exist some drawbacks need to be urgently improved; hence it is not a good contrivance.
