Problems solved by technology

Playing sports risks many injuries.
While helmets protect brains and mouth guards protect teeth, very little protective gear exists to adequately protect the hands in racquet sports and sports that involve clubs or bats, such as tennis, baseball, softball, cricket, and golf.
Impact injuries to the hands result in broken, dislocated and bruised bones in the hands and wrists as well as ligament and tendon sprains and contusions.
Such injuries may result in inability to properly grip the bat through the swing range.
In addition to injuries to the phalanges and metacarpals, injuries to the hamate bone frequently occur.
Treatment typically requires surgery to internally fix the fracture or excision of the hook of the hamate and necessarily requires extended time out of play.
Most gloves provide inadequate support and protection to the fingers and wrists, while others are too cumbersome and batters are unwilling to use them.

[0080]An objective was to assess design and material options to produce a superior batting glove at impact loads typical in a major league baseball (MLB) game. Testing was done to compare performance at typical injury sites, including the dorsal area of the hand when hit by a pitched ball, and the hamate area from bat impacts. An objective was to conduct testing using an accurate physical model of the human hand with its bones and soft tissue. Further testing was conducted with accurate input loads through drop impact using equivalent energy to MLB level pitched balls, and equivalent speed / mass of pitched balls using a ball cannon. In certain instances comparisons were made with the commercially available EVOSHIELD™ batting hand shield, which is a rectangular moldable gel to rigid rectangular pad encased in neoprene and adapted to fit across the distal half of the metacarpals without side extension.

Abstract

A glove for hand protection during sports, conforming to hands, fingers, and thumb, extending from carpal bones to cover proximal phalanges up to the proximal interphaiangeal joint comprising impact-absorbing materials: an outer glove conforming to hand, fingers, and thumb extending from carpal bones to cover distal phalanges, comprising abrasion-resistant materials.

Description

REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority based on U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62 / 622,663 filed Jan. 26, 2018, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates generally to hand protection, and more specifically to hand protection in a sports environment.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Without limiting the scope of the invention, its background is described in connection with existing hand protection gloves. Playing sports risks many injuries. While helmets protect brains and mouth guards protect teeth, very little protective gear exists to adequately protect the hands in racquet sports and sports that involve clubs or bats, such as tennis, baseball, softball, cricket, and golf.[0004]Injuries to the hands of ball players including baseball (and softball) players are occasioned in batters by wild pitches, player contact, and dives. Impact injuries to the hands result in broken, disloc...
