Musculature Promoting Gloves

Abstract

Disclosed are a pair of gloves having weights rigidly attached to outer surfaces of fingers and palm. The fingers may be partially cut off or have removable tips. At least several of the fingertips having crush resistant caps embedded within the outer layer of the fabric. A user may utilize touchscreen technology without remove the gloves as the outer layer of the gloves and liner are embedded with current conductive threading.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to gloves suitable for wearing while performing routine activities of daily living, or during exercise, to raise the resistance levels for multiple musculature groups.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The object of the present invention is to add an ability to increase muscle mass of the upper arms or increase caloric burn during everyday activities, or during exercise. For example, when walking or jogging, a user's legs and respiratory functions are being strengthened and toned. However, the musculature of the arms would not receive any strengthening for either exercise unless a user finds a way to include this muscle group in the exercise.[0003]During a person's daily routine, he or she tracks many miles doing ordinary things, such as getting dressed, preparing meals, doing chores, commuting to and from work, shopping or exercising at the gym. Increasing the weight on some of the appendages in an unobtrusive way will permit ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent is about a type of glove that has conductive threads on it to work with touch screen technology. The glove also has a lining of wire mesh or a different material to make it more comfortable. The gloves also have reinforced inserts to protect the fingers from getting crushed when lifting weights.

Problems solved by technology

However, the musculature of the arms would not receive any strengthening for either exercise unless a user finds a way to include this muscle group in the exercise.

Increasing the weight on some of the appendages in an unobtrusive way will permit people to go about their day while simultaneously increasing the aggregate caloric burn from all of their usual basic activities.

Existing gloves tend to increase pressure on joints as a user curls his or her hands into fists.

Since the glove finger has a finite length, curled fingers force the glove material to stretch over the curled finger, thus putting additional pressure on the finger's skin tissue and joints.

Still another benefit that is severely underrepresented in the prior art devices is the lack of protection for fingers from an impact by heavy items.

It is highly foreseeable that one of these may fall on one's arm causing an injury.
