Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present specification relates to a glove suitable for golf or the like. [Background technology]

[0002] A golf player holds a golf club in his hand and swings the golf club. Friction between the golf club and the player's hand during the swing can cause blister marks on the hand. To prevent blister marks, golf players wear gloves. The gloves also serve to prevent slippage between the hand and the golf club. An example of a glove is disclosed in JP 2016-042905 A. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP2016-042905A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When a golf player grips a golf club, a local gap may occur between the glove and the golf club. This gap causes pressure distribution on the hand. This gap or pressure distribution leads to instability in the swing. The instability of the swing may hinder the swing speed. Furthermore, the instability of the swing promotes fatigue of the golf player.

[0005] Instability in performance due to gaps or pressure distribution can also occur in gloves for uses other than golf.

[0006] The applicant's intention is to provide a glove that can contribute to the stability of movements. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The glove disclosed herein has a face member and a back member. The face member has a palm and at least one finger. The palm includes a thick zone. The thickness Tp of the thick zone is greater than the thickness Tf of the finger. Effect of the Invention

[0008] When a wearer of this glove grasps an object, a gap is unlikely to occur between the glove and the object. This glove can contribute to the stability of the wearer's movements. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings as appropriate.

[0011] FIG. 1 shows a golf glove 2. The glove 2 has a face side member 4 and a back side member 6. The back side member 6 is joined to the face side member 4. In this embodiment, the joining is achieved by sewing the back side member 6 to the face side member 4. The glove 2 may have a gusset between the face side member 4 and the back side member 6. The face side member 4 and the back side member 6 may be integral, either partially or as a whole.

[0012] FIG. 2 is a front view of the glove 2. FIG. 2 mainly shows the face side member 4. The face side member 4 has a palm 8, four fingers 10, and a thumb 12. Specifically, the face side member 4 has a first finger 10a, a second finger 10b, a third finger 10c, and a fourth finger 10d. In this embodiment, the number of fingers 10 is four. The number of fingers 10 may be three or less. Each finger 10 is continuous with the palm 8. The boundary between the palm 8 and the fingers 10 coincides with the position of the MP joint of the human hand. In this embodiment, the thumb 12 is sewn to the palm 8. The palm 8 has a thick zone 14. This thick zone 14 will be described in detail later.

[0013] This glove 2 is worn on the left hand of a right-handed golf player. The right side of a glove worn on the right hand of a left-handed golf player has a mirror image of the shape of glove 2 shown in Figure 1. The front of a glove worn on the right hand of a left-handed golf player has a mirror image of the shape of glove 2 shown in Figure 2.

[0014] Fig. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along line III-III in Fig. 2. Fig. 3 shows a part of the first finger 10a of the face-side member 4. Fig. 3 also shows a part of the back-side member 6.

[0015] FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the portion indicated by the arrow IV in FIG. 3. FIG. 4 shows the first finger 10a. The first finger 10a has an outer surface 16 and an inner surface 18. A typical material of the first finger 10a is synthetic leather. This synthetic leather can be obtained by impregnating a woven fabric with a synthetic resin. In the impregnation process, the synthetic resin progresses through the woven fabric from one surface to the other surface. Due to this process, the synthetic resin is rich near the outer surface 16 and poor near the inner surface 18. Due to the difference in the content of the synthetic resin, the friction force Ffo of the outer surface 16 is large and the friction force Ffi of the inner surface 18 is small. The material of the first finger 10a may be natural leather, artificial leather, or the like.

[0016] In FIG. 4, the arrow Tf indicates the thickness of the first finger 10a. The thickness Tf is preferably 0.10 mm or more and 2.0 mm or less. The first finger 10a having a thickness Tf of 0.10 mm or more has excellent strength. From this viewpoint, the thickness Tf is more preferably 0.20 mm or more, and particularly preferably 0.30 mm or more. The glove 2 having a thickness Tf of 2.0 mm or less has excellent wearing comfort. From this viewpoint, the thickness Tf is more preferably 1.5 mm or less, and particularly preferably 1.2 mm or less. When the first finger 10a is locally thick, the thickness Tf is measured at a location corresponding to the second joint of the bone of the hand.

[0017] Although not shown, the material of the second finger 10b, the third finger 10c, and the fourth finger 10d is the same as the material of the first finger 10a. Therefore, the above-mentioned thickness Tf is achieved in each of the second finger 10b, the third finger 10c, and the fourth finger 10d. In this embodiment, the thickness Tf of all the fingers 10 is the same. The thickness of a finger 10 may be different from the thickness of the other fingers 10.

[0018] Fig. 5 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along line VV in Fig. 2. Fig. 5 shows a part of the finger 10 and a part of the palm 8 of the face-side member 4. Fig. 5 also shows a part of the back-side member 6.

[0019] FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of the portion indicated by the arrow VI in FIG. 5. FIG. 6 shows the palm 8. The palm 8 has a main sheet 20 and a sub-sheet 22. The sub-sheet 22 is superimposed on the main sheet 20. The sub-sheet 22 is joined to the main sheet 20. In this embodiment, the joining is achieved by sewing the sub-sheet 22 to the main sheet 20. A typical material for the main sheet 20 and the sub-sheet 22 is synthetic leather. In FIG. 5, the symbol Et represents the tip edge of the sub-sheet 22, and the symbol Eb represents the base edge of the sub-sheet 22.

[0020] The contour of this sub-sheet 22 is shown by a dotted line in FIG. 2. The zone surrounded by this dotted line is the thick zone 14 described above. In other words, the dotted line in FIG. 2 is also the contour of the thick zone 14. As is clear from FIG. 2, the thick zone 14 mainly belongs to the palm 8. However, a part of the thick zone 14 belongs to the finger 10. The thick zone 14 includes the main sheet 20 and the sub-sheet 22. The leading edge code Et (see FIG. 5) of the sub-sheet 22 is also the edge of the thick zone 14. The base edge code Eb of the sub-sheet 22 is also the edge of the thick zone 14.

[0021] In Fig. 6, an arrow Tm represents the thickness of the main sheet 20, an arrow Ts represents the thickness of the sub-sheet 22, and an arrow Tp represents the thickness of the thick zone 14. The thickness Tp is the sum of the thickness Tm and the thickness Ts. In this embodiment, the thickness Tm of the main sheet 20 is substantially the same as the thickness Tf of the finger 10 (see Fig. 4). Since the thick zone 14 has the sub-sheet 22 in addition to the main sheet 20, the thickness Tp of the thick zone 14 is greater than the thickness Tf of the finger 10.

[0022] A golf player wearing this glove 2 holds a golf club and swings it. The fingers 10 come into contact with the golf club preferentially. Therefore, even if the thickness Tf is small, a gap is unlikely to occur between the fingers 10 and the golf club. Since the thick zone 14 is thicker than the fingers 10, a gap is unlikely to occur between the palm 8 and the golf club. This glove 2 can contribute to the stability of the swing. A golf player wearing this glove 2 can swing a golf club with a high head speed. Furthermore, the golf player can hit a golf ball toward a target direction. This glove 2 reduces the fatigue of the golf player. Furthermore, this glove 2 can suppress corns on the hand. Since the thickness Tf of the fingers 10 is small, this glove 2 is also comfortable to wear.

[0023] From the viewpoint of swing stability, the difference (Tp-Tf) between the thickness Tp and the thickness Tf is preferably 0.30 mm or more, more preferably 0.40 mm or more, and particularly preferably 0.45 mm or more. The difference (Tp-Tf) is preferably 3.0 mm or less, more preferably 2.0 mm or less, and particularly preferably 1.2 mm or less. In the case of a glove 2 used in golf, from the viewpoint of conformity with the R&A rules, the difference (Tp-Tf) is preferably less than 0.025 inches.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 6, the thick zone 14 has an outer surface 24 and an inner surface 26. The outer surface 24 is the exposed surface of the main sheet 20. The vicinity of the outer surface 24 is rich in synthetic resin. The inner surface 26 is the exposed surface of the sub-sheet 22. The vicinity of the inner surface 26 is rich in synthetic resin. In other words, in the thick zone 14, the synthetic resin-poor surface of the sub-sheet 22 abuts against the synthetic resin-poor surface of the main sheet 20. In the thick zone 14, the frictional force Fpi of the inner surface 26 is large, and the frictional force Fpo of the outer surface 24 is also large. The material of the main sheet 20 and the sub-sheet 22 may be natural leather, artificial leather, or the like.

[0025] Since the frictional force Ffo of the outer surface 16 of the finger 10 is large, slippage between the finger 10 and the golf club during the swing is suppressed. Since the frictional force Fpo of the outer surface 24 of the thick zone 14 is large, slippage between the palm 8 and the golf club during the swing is suppressed. Since the frictional force Fpi of the inner surface 26 of the thick zone 14 is large, slippage between the player's hand and the palm 8 during the swing is suppressed. This glove 2 can contribute to the stability of the swing. A golf player wearing this glove 2 can swing a golf club with a high head speed. Furthermore, the golf player can hit a golf ball toward a target.

[0026] Since the friction force Ffi of the inner surface 18 of the finger 10 is small, the glove 2 slips moderately on the hand when the golf player takes off the glove 2. The golf player can easily take off the glove 2.

[0027] In this embodiment, the friction force Fpi of the inner surface 26 of the thick zone 14 is greater than the friction force Ffi of the inner surface 18 of the finger 10. With this glove 2, both a stable swing and ease of taking off the glove can be achieved. From this viewpoint, the ratio (Fpi / Ffi) of the friction force Fpi to the friction force Ffi is preferably 1.10 or more, more preferably 1.25 or more, and particularly preferably 1.35 or more. The upper limit of the ratio (Fpi / Ffi) that can be easily achieved is 3.00.

[0028] There may also be a glove 2 in which the frictional force Ffi of one finger 10 is different from the frictional force Ffi of the other fingers 10. In this glove 2, if the frictional force Fpi of the inner surface 26 of the thick zone 14 is larger than the frictional force Ffi of any of the four fingers 10, a stable swing and ease of taking off the glove can be achieved at the same time.

[0029] The device suitable for measuring frictional force is Trinity Lab's model number "TL201Ts". A test piece is cut out from the glove 2 or its original roll. This test piece is attached to the stage of the device with double-sided tape. The measurement conditions are as follows: Load: 200gf Travel distance: 10mm Traveling speed: 50mm / s Test piece: dry Ambient temperature: 23℃ Ambient relative humidity: 60% Contacts: Trinity Labs tactile contacts

[0030] The synthetic resin may be poor in the vicinity of the inner surface 26 of the thick zone 14. The frictional force Fpi of the inner surface 26 is small. In this glove 2, the frictional force Fpo of the outer surface 24 of the thick zone 14 is large, so that slippage between the palm 8 and the golf club during a swing is suppressed. Since the frictional force Fpi of the inner surface 26 of the thick zone 14 is small, when a golf player takes off the glove 2, the glove 2 slips moderately with the hand. The golf player can easily take off the glove 2. From the viewpoint of achieving both a stable swing and ease of taking off, the ratio (Fpi / Fpo) of the frictional force Fpi to the frictional force Fpo is preferably 0.90 or less, more preferably 0.80 or less, and particularly preferably 0.75 or less. The lower limit of the ratio (Fpi / Fpo) that can be easily achieved is 0.35.

[0031] As is clear from Fig. 5, in this embodiment, the sub-sheet 22 is located inside the main sheet 20. The sub-sheet 22 may be located outside the main sheet 20 (on the right side in Fig. 5). A large thickness Tp may be achieved by not having the sub-sheet 22 and having a main sheet 20 with a thick palm 8.

[0032] The ratio Pp of the area Sp of the thick zone 14 to the area S of the face side member 4 is preferably 30% or more and 70% or less. A glove 2 having the ratio Pp within this range can achieve a stable swing. From this viewpoint, the ratio Pp is more preferably 35% or more, and particularly preferably 40% or more. The ratio Pp is more preferably 60% or less, and particularly preferably 55% or less.

[0033] The areas Sp and S are measured in the front view of Fig. 2. In Fig. 2, the area of ​​the portion surrounded by the dotted line is the area Sp of the thick zone 14. In Fig. 2, the area of ​​the portion surrounded by the outline of the glove 2 is the area S of the face-side member 4. Strictly speaking, the area S may include the area of ​​a part of the back-side member 6.

[0034] The area Sp is 5000 mm 2 More than 10000mm 2 It is preferable that the area Sp is within this range. A stable swing can be achieved with a glove 2 having the area Sp within this range. From this viewpoint, the area Sp is preferably within 6000 mm 2 More than 6500mm is preferable. 2 More than this is particularly preferable. The area Sp is 9000 mm 2 Less than 8500mm is preferable. 2 The following are particularly preferred:

[0035] 2, the arrow Wp indicates the width of the thick zone 14. The width Wp is preferably 60 mm or more and 100 mm or less. With a glove 2 having the width Wp within this range, a stable swing can be achieved. In this respect, the width Wp is more preferably 70 mm or more, and particularly preferably 75 mm or more.

[0036] 2, an arrow Lp indicates the length of the thick zone 14. The length Lp is preferably 65 mm or greater and 110 mm or less. With a glove 2 having the length Lp within this range, a stable swing can be achieved. From this viewpoint, the length Lp is more preferably 75 mm or greater, and particularly preferably 80 mm or greater.

[0037] 2, the arrow Dp indicates the distance from the lower end of the face-side member 4 to the lower end of the thick zone 14. From the viewpoint of wearing comfort, the distance Dp is preferably 10 mm or more, more preferably 20 mm or more, and particularly preferably 25 mm or more. From the viewpoint of a stable swing, the distance Dp is preferably 100 mm or less, more preferably 80 mm or less, and particularly preferably 70 mm or less.

[0038] A right-handed golf player holds a golf club with his right hand on top of his left hand. Therefore, the glove for the right hand of this golf player does not need a thick zone. A set of a glove for the left hand 2 having a thick zone 14 and a glove for the right hand without a thick zone can achieve both swing stability and a comfortable fit. The glove for the right hand may have a thick zone.

[0039] Fig. 7 shows a golf glove 28 according to another embodiment. This glove 28 has a face side member 30 and a back side member 32 (see Fig. 8), similar to the glove 2 shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 7 mainly shows the face side member 30. This face side member 30 has a palm 34, four fingers 36, and a thumb 38.

[0040] The palm 34 has a first thickened zone 40 and a second thickened zone 42. Other than the thickened zones, the configuration of this glove 28 is the same as that of the glove 2 shown in Figures 1-6.

[0041] Fig. 8 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along line VIII-VIII in Fig. 7. Fig. 8 shows a part of the finger 36 and a part of the palm 34 of the face-side member 30. Fig. 8 also shows a part of the back-side member 32.

[0042] FIG. 9 is an enlarged view of the portion indicated by the arrow IX in FIG. 8. FIG. 9 shows the palm 34. The palm 34 has a main sheet 44 and a first sub-sheet 46. The first sub-sheet 46 is overlaid on the main sheet 44. The first sub-sheet 46 is joined to the main sheet 44. In this embodiment, the joining is achieved by sewing the first sub-sheet 46 to the main sheet 44. A typical material for the main sheet 44 and the first sub-sheet 46 is synthetic leather. In FIG. 8, the symbol Et1 indicates the tip edge of the first sub-sheet 46, and the symbol Eb1 indicates the base edge of the first sub-sheet 46.

[0043] FIG. 10 is an enlarged view of the portion indicated by the arrow X in FIG. 8. FIG. 10 shows the palm 34. The palm 34 has a main sheet 44, a first sub-sheet 46, and a second sub-sheet 48. The second sub-sheet 48 is mainly overlapped with the first sub-sheet 46. The second sub-sheet 48 is joined to the main sheet 44 and the first sub-sheet 46. In this embodiment, the joining is achieved by sewing the second sub-sheet 48 to the main sheet 44 and the first sub-sheet 46. A typical material of the second sub-sheet 48 is synthetic leather. In FIG. 8, the symbol Et2 indicates the tip edge of the second sub-sheet 48, and the symbol Eb2 indicates the base edge of the second sub-sheet 48.

[0044] The outline of the first subsheet 46 is shown in dotted lines in Figure 7. The outline of the second subsheet 48 is also shown in dotted lines in Figure 7. The zone surrounded by the dotted lines for the first subsheet 46 and not surrounded by the dotted lines for the second subsheet 48 is the aforementioned first thickened zone 40. The zone surrounded by the dotted lines for the first subsheet 46 and not surrounded by the dotted lines for the second subsheet 48 is the aforementioned second thickened zone 42.

[0045] In FIG. 9, an arrow Tm represents the thickness of the main sheet 44, an arrow Ts1 represents the thickness of the first sub-sheet 46, and an arrow Tp1 represents the thickness of the first thick zone 40. The thickness Tp1 is the sum of the thickness Tm and the thickness Ts1. In this embodiment, the thickness Tm of the main sheet 44 is substantially the same as the thickness Tf of the finger 36 (see FIG. 4). Since the first thick zone 40 has the first sub-sheet 46 in addition to the main sheet 44, the thickness Tp1 of the first thick zone 40 is greater than the thickness Tf of the finger 36.

[0046] 10, an arrow Ts2 represents the thickness of the second sub-sheet 48, and an arrow Tp2 represents the thickness of the second thick zone 42. The thickness Tp2 is the sum of the thickness Tm, the thickness Ts1, and the thickness Ts2. In this embodiment, the second thick zone 42 has the second sub-sheet 48 in addition to the main sheet 44 and the first sub-sheet 46, so that the thickness Tp2 of the second thick zone 42 is greater than the thickness Tp1 of the first thick zone 40.

[0047] In this glove 28, a part of the first thick zone 40 exists between the finger 36 and the second thick zone 42. In other words, the thickness increases in two stages from the finger 36 toward the second thick zone 42. A golf player wearing this glove 28 on his / her hand holds a golf club and swings the golf club. The finger 36 comes into contact with the golf club preferentially. Therefore, even if the thickness Tf is small, a gap is unlikely to occur between the finger 36 and the golf club. Since the first thick zone 40 is thicker than the finger 36 and the second thick zone 42 is thicker than the first thick zone 40, a gap is unlikely to occur between the palm 34 and the golf club. This glove 28 can contribute to the stability of the swing. A golf player wearing this glove 28 can swing a golf club with a high head speed. Furthermore, the golf player can hit a golf ball toward a target direction. This glove 28 reduces the fatigue of the golf player. Furthermore, this glove 28 can suppress blunting of the hand. Since the thickness Tf of the fingers 36 is small, the glove 28 is also comfortable to wear.

[0048] In respect of swing stability, the difference (Tp1-Tf) between the thickness Tp1 and the thickness Tf is preferably 0.15 mm or more, more preferably 0.20 mm or more, and particularly preferably 0.25 mm or more. The difference (Tp1-Tf) is preferably 1.5 mm or less, more preferably 1.0 mm or less, and particularly preferably 0.8 mm or less.

[0049] In respect of swing stability, the difference (Tp2-Tp1) between the thickness Tp2 and the thickness Tp1 is preferably 0.15 mm or more, more preferably 0.20 mm or more, and particularly preferably 0.25 mm or more. The difference (Tp2-Tp1) is preferably 1.5 mm or less, more preferably 1.0 mm or less, and particularly preferably 0.8 mm or less.

[0050] In this embodiment, too, the friction coefficient Fpi1 of the inner surface 50 of the first thick zone 40 is greater than the friction force Ffi of the inner surface 18 (see FIG. 4) of the finger 36. The friction coefficient Fpi2 of the inner surface 52 of the second thick zone 42 is also greater than the friction force Ffi of the inner surface 18 of the finger 36. This glove 28 also prevents slippage between the palm 34 and the golf club. The golf player can easily take off the glove 28.

[0051] In this glove 28, the ratio (Fpi1 / Ffi) of the frictional force Fpi1 to the frictional force Ffi is preferably 1.10 or more, more preferably 1.25 or more, and particularly preferably 1.35 or more. The upper limit of the ratio (Fti1 / Ffi) that can be easily achieved is 3.00.

[0052] There may also be a glove 28 in which the frictional force Ffi of one finger 36 is different from the frictional force Ffi of the other fingers 36. In this glove 28, if the frictional force Fpi1 of the inner surface 50 of the first thick zone 40 is larger than the frictional force Ffi of any of the four fingers 36, a stable swing and ease of taking off the glove can be achieved at the same time.

[0053] In this glove 28, the ratio (Fpi2 / Ffi) of the frictional force Fpi2 to the frictional force Ffi is preferably 1.10 or more, more preferably 1.25 or more, and particularly preferably 1.35 or more. The upper limit of the ratio (Fti2 / Ffi) that can be easily achieved is 3.00.

[0054] There may also be a glove 28 in which the frictional force Ffi of one finger 36 is different from the frictional force Ffi of the other fingers 36. In this glove 28, if the frictional force Fpi1 of the inner surface 50 of the second thick zone 42 is larger than the frictional force Ffi of any of the four fingers 36, a stable swing and ease of taking off the glove can be achieved at the same time.

[0055] The friction coefficient Fpi1 of the inner surface 50 of the first thick zone 40 and the friction coefficient Fpi2 of the inner surface 52 of the second thick zone 42 may be smaller than the friction coefficient Fpo of the outer surface of the palm 34. In this glove 28, slippage between the palm 34 and the golf club is suppressed. A golf player can easily take off the glove 28.

[0056] From the viewpoint of achieving both a stable swing and ease of taking off, the ratio (Fpi1 / Fpo) of the frictional force Fpi1 to the frictional force Fpo is preferably equal to or less than 0.90, more preferably equal to or less than 0.80, and particularly preferably equal to or less than 0.75. The lower limit of the ratio (Fpi1 / Fpo) that can be easily achieved is 0.35.

[0057] From the viewpoint of achieving both a stable swing and ease of taking off, the ratio (Fpi2 / Fpo) of the frictional force Fpi2 to the frictional force Fpo is preferably equal to or less than 0.90, more preferably equal to or less than 0.80, and particularly preferably equal to or less than 0.75. The lower limit of the ratio (Fpi2 / Fpo) that can be easily achieved is 0.35.

[0058] As is clear from Figure 8, in this embodiment, the first sub-sheet 46 and the second sub-sheet 48 are located on the inside of the main sheet 44. One or both of the first sub-sheet 46 and the second sub-sheet 48 may be located on the outside (right side in Figure 8) of the main sheet 44. The two thicknesses Tp1 and Tp2 may be achieved by having a main sheet 44 in which the thickness of the palm 34 varies without the sub-sheets being present. The thickness of the palm 34 may vary gradually.

[0059] The ratio Pp1 of the area Sp1 of the first thick zone 40 to the area S of the face side member 30 is preferably 10% or more and 60% or less. A glove 28 having a ratio Pp1 within this range can achieve a stable swing. From this viewpoint, the ratio Pp1 is more preferably 25% or more, and particularly preferably 30% or more. The ratio Pp1 is more preferably 50% or less, and particularly preferably 45% or less.

[0060] The ratio Pp2 of the area Sp2 of the second thick zone 42 to the area S of the face side member 30 is preferably 5% or more and 20% or less. A glove 28 having a ratio Pp2 within this range can achieve a stable swing. From this viewpoint, the ratio Pp2 is more preferably 8% or more, and particularly preferably 10% or more. The ratio Pp2 is more preferably 17% or less, and particularly preferably 15% or less.

[0061] The area Sp1 is 3000 mm 2 More than 7500mm 2 It is preferable that the area Sp1 is within this range. A stable swing can be achieved with the glove 28. From this viewpoint, the area Sp1 is preferably within 4000 mm 2 More preferably, 4500mm or more 2 More than this is particularly preferable. The area Sp is 6500 mm 2 Less than 6000mm is more preferable. 2 The following are particularly preferred:

[0062] The area Sp2 is 500 mm 2 More than 4500mm 2 It is preferable that the area Sp2 is within this range. A stable swing can be achieved with the glove 28.
