Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a batting glove that takes stress off selected parts of the human hand. The glove has preselected materials of construction in different areas of contact with the hand, including the dorsal side of the thumb, finger, hand, and wrist joints. The pads on the fingers and palm are placed between the bony prominences of each finger and thumb bone to unload the bones and improve finger and knuckle motion. The pads on the thumb are also placed between the bony prominences of the first phalanx and interphalangeal joints. The motion zones for the wrist and hand are determined by the center axis of rotation of the joints. The goal is to provide a glove that takes stress off the selected parts of the human hand and improves performance and comfort."

Problems solved by technology

Secondly, on the palm side of the glove there are additional motion zones.

Abstract

A work glove particularly useful for gardening, automobile mechanical work and any other type of use which brings the palmar side of the hand in contact with work or the like which may result in stinging, bruising, or blistering of the fingers, thumb and palm of a human hand is provided with protective padding disclosed or positioned for overlying at least the distal halves of the index finger and long finger metacarpals excluding the metacarpalphalangeal joints of the index finger and the long finger. Preferably, the glove also includes protective padding disposed along a thumb stall of the glove at a location adapted to be along an ulnar border as well as the A2 pulleys of the thumb's proximal phalanx between the metacarpalphalangeal joint and the interphalangeal joint.
