Embodiment Construction

[0212]The invention described herein relates to a glove, used in any application where a seam on the part of the palm used to grip a cylinder (such as a bicycle handlebar) may cause a problem. Such applications include athletic activities that involve prolonged or intense gripping or squeezing of hard objects, which can adversely affect critical nerve regions in the athlete's arm. One such application is cycling. The glove described herein involves the seaming of a glove, with particular attention to the location of the seaming relative to anatomic structures of the hand and the contact points when gripping. The glove seaming is not located substantially over boney pillars of the palmar-side of the hand in order to eliminate additional pressure caused when the seam is in contact with the handlebar while cycling or gripping. The glove seaming is located at discrete positions of the palm.

[0213]Referring now to FIGS. 1-4, several embodiments of the present invention are shown. In regar...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a glove with a seamless palm portion used when gripping a sporting implement. The glove is used when additional pressure points caused by seams between the user's hand and a sporting implement is a common problem. A method and apparatus for reducing the seams in a glove palm portion while also reducing glove bunching is provided according to various embodiments. The seamless glove palm portion is located substantially over boney pillars of the palmar-side of the hand in order to direct even pressure and/or force caused by the handlebar while cycling or gripping to one or more boney pillars of the hand, rather than creating additional pressure points on the hands.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This disclosure relates to a glove with a palm hammock, and more specifically to a method and apparatus for avoiding a seam in the palm area of the glove that contacts a sporting implement when gripping the sporting implement.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Gloves, and specifically the palm portions of gloves, vary in composition and design based on several design parameters, including function / performance, weight, cost, aesthetics, comfort, and ease of manufacture. Athletic gloves, for example, typically emphasize performance as dictated by the sport. A summer cycling glove is commonly of lighter-weight than a baseball-batting glove, for example, given a summer cycling glove is generally fingerless and weight is emphasized more in cycling than baseball. Further, a skiing glove generally is heavier and more insulated than a cycling glove because of the colder skiing temperatures and the fact that ski poles generally do not need to be gripped as tightly o...
