[0033] A sports glove 10 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is described in detail below.

[0034] Fig. 1 is a diagram showing a sports glove 10 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing the inside of the sports glove 10 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0035] 1 and 2, the sports glove 10 of the present invention has an overall shape of a glove 10 and can include a finger portion (no reference number) for five fingers, a back portion (no reference number) on which the back of the hand is placed inside the glove 10, and a palm portion 11 on which the palm is placed. The back portion can include an attachment fixing portion (no reference number) for pressing an insertion opening and for adhering the glove 10 to the hand to prevent the hand from coming off when the hand is inserted inside the glove 10.

[0036] The palm portion 11 can include a thumb connecting portion 111, a ring finger connecting portion 112, a little finger connecting portion 113, a blade portion 114, a wrist portion 115, and a backing portion 116.

[0037] The thumb connecting part 111 may refer to a part where the finger part where the thumb is inserted is connected to the palm part 11. The ring finger connecting part 112 may refer to a part where the finger part where the ring finger is inserted is connected to the palm part 11. The little finger connecting part 113 may refer to a part where the finger part where the little finger is inserted is connected to the palm part 11. Thus, the palm part 11 may also include an index finger connecting part (no reference number in the drawing) which is a part where the finger part where the index finger is inserted is connected to the palm part 11, and a middle finger connecting part (no reference number in the drawing) which is a part where the finger part where the middle finger is inserted is connected to the palm part 11, but detailed description thereof will be omitted since it is not necessary to describe the features of the present disclosure.

[0038] The blade portion 114 may be a portion where the blade is placed when the hand is inserted into the glove 10. The wrist portion 115 may be a portion where the wrist is placed when the hand is inserted into the glove 10. The backing portion 116 may be a portion where cotton, leather, etc. are layered on a part of the palm portion 11 adjacent to the ridge of the palm when the hand is inserted into the glove 10. When practicing golf swing using the sports glove 10, a part of the palm portion 11 corresponding to the ridge of the palm and a part adjacent to the blade portion 114 may wear down or break. To prevent this, the backing portion 116 is layered on a part of the palm portion 11 to improve durability.

[0039] The sports glove 10 may also include a support 12 disposed on a portion of the palm portion 11. The support 12 may be a member for improving the support force for an object to be held by the hand, such as a golf club, a climbing stick, or a bicycle handlebar.

[0040] 3 to 5 are diagrams showing a support 12 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0041] 3 to 5, the support 12 may include a polyurethane foam material. The support 12 must support a sports stick or pole such as a golf club inside the outer shell of the glove 10, and is therefore required to have a certain degree of hardness. For example, if styrene foam or sponge is used as the material for the support 12, it is difficult to support a hard stick for a long time and to fix the position of the stick. Therefore, by including polyurethane foam as the material for the support 12, it is possible to support a hard stick for a long time. Among polyurethane foams, rigid polyurethane foam has a high hardness and can be used optimally. In addition, the support 12 may include various materials other than polyurethane foam.

[0042] The support 12 may be disposed inside the outer skin of the palm portion 11, and may be disposed so as to protrude above the palm portion 11. The support 12 may be disposed between the outer skin and the inner skin of the palm portion 11 of the glove 10. That is, the glove 10 may have the support 12 disposed inside thereof and may include an inner skin to encase it. The inner skin may be made of a comfortable material such as thin leather or cotton.

[0043] The support 12 may include an upper surface portion 121, a first inclined portion 122, a second inclined portion 123, a third inclined portion 124, and a fourth inclined portion 125. The upper surface portion 121 is a flat portion formed on the upper end of the support 12, and may be a portion that directly contacts the inner surface of the palm portion 11. The shape of the upper surface portion 121 as viewed from above may be an overall trapezoid or triangle.

[0044] 4 and 5, the support 12 may be formed such that the width measured on a vertical plane passing through an imaginary first line L connecting the thumb connecting part 111 and the blade part 114 on the palm part 11 decreases as the support 12 approaches the blade part 114 (w2>w3). That is, when the top part 121 is a trapezoid, it may specifically have an equilateral trapezoid, and of two parallel sides, the longer side may be disposed close to the thumb connecting part 111 and the shorter side may be disposed close to the blade part 114. When the top part 121 is a triangle, it may specifically have a right-angled triangle, and one side of the right angle may be disposed close to the thumb connecting part 111 and the opposite apex may be disposed close to the blade part 114.

[0045] First inclined portion 122 may be a portion formed so as to slope downward from one side of upper surface portion 121 toward little finger connecting portion 113. When upper surface portion 121 is an equilateral trapezoid or a right-angled triangle, first inclined portion may be a portion formed so as to slope downward from the hypotenuse of upper surface portion 121 toward little finger connecting portion 113. Here, the direction in which the hypotenuse extends horizontally may be toward between thumb connecting portion 111 and index finger connecting portion. Thus, first inclined portion 122 may be disposed so as to extend in a direction corresponding to the extension direction of a golf club or the like disposed to pass between the thumb and index finger.

[0046] The first inclined portion 122 may be formed in a round shape such that the inclination becomes gentler as it goes downward. Therefore, the contact area of ​​various kinds of sports sticks or handles having a generally cylindrical shape with the outer surface of the palm portion 11 corresponding to the first inclined portion 122 increases, and the support force can be improved by a secure fixation. In addition, the first inclined portion 122 may have a steeper inclination from the second inclined portion 123 side to the fourth inclined portion 125 side, which will be described later. In order to improve the grip force and comfort of the sports stick, the first inclined portion 122 may be formed so that the area of ​​a portion adjacent to the second inclined portion 123 side is wide and the area of ​​a portion adjacent to the fourth inclined portion 125 side is small.

[0047] The second inclined portion 123 may be a portion formed to incline downward from one side of the upper surface portion 121 toward the thumb connecting portion 111. The second inclined portion 123 may be disposed close to the thumb connecting portion 111.

[0048] The third inclined portion 124 may be a portion formed so as to incline downward from one side of the upper surface portion 121 toward the wrist portion 115. The third inclined portion 124 may be disposed close to the wrist portion 115.

[0049] The fourth inclined portion 125 may be a portion formed so as to incline downward from one side of the upper surface portion 121 toward the blade portion 114. The fourth inclined portion 125 may be disposed close to the blade portion 114.

[0050] 4, the width of the support 12 measured on a vertical plane may decrease toward the top (w1>w2). That is, the area of ​​the bottom surface of the support 12 may be greater than the area of ​​the top surface.

[0051] The support 12 may be disposed between the thumb connecting part 111 and the blade part 114, and may be disposed closer to the blade part 114. The support 12 may also be disposed between the ring finger connecting part 112 and the little finger connecting part 113 and the wrist part 115, and may be disposed closer to the wrist part 115. The support 12 may be disposed in a part of the palm part 11 corresponding to the mons lunaris of the palm. Here, the support 12 comes into contact with and supports a sports stick that is generally supported by the mons lunaris of the palm, and can reduce the degree of fatigue of the palm while improving the supporting force.

[0052] FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the function of a sports glove 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0053] 6, the position of the sports stick can be confirmed depending on the presence or absence of the support 12 of the sports glove 10. Here, a golf club will be taken as an example of the sports stick. First, if the sports glove 10 does not have the support 12, the golf club may be placed and held as shown in C1. In this case, the grip strength of the hand is weakened when swinging the golf club strongly, and the grip of the golf club may shake and move within the palm due to the weight of the club head. In this case, the accuracy of hitting the golf ball may decrease.

[0054] However, the sports glove 10 according to the present embodiment, which includes the support 12, allows the golf club to be positioned and held as C2. In this case, the golf club is firmly fixed on the palm by the support 12 and does not shake even when a strong golf swing is made, so that the accuracy and consistency of hitting the golf ball can be improved.

[0055] FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating how to use the sports glove 10 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0056] Referring to Fig. 7, the use of sports glove 10 to grip a golf club is shown. First, the hand can be positioned with the palm facing up with the hand fully extended (see Fig. 6(a)). Here, a guide line GL can be displayed on palm portion 11. The guide line GL can be displayed on palm portion 11 at a position where the handle portion will come into contact in order to grip the golf club correctly.

[0057] Thereafter, when placing the handle of the golf club adjacent to each finger joint of the palm, the first inclined portion 122 of the support body 12 can be placed parallel to the horizontally extended direction (see FIG. 6(b)). The user can place the handle of the golf club along the guide line GL. The horizontal extension direction of the oblique side of the upper surface portion 121 of the support body 12 can be parallel to the extension direction of the guide line GL.

[0058] The golf club can then be gripped loosely (see FIG. 6(c)). At this time, the rounded outer surface of the golf club can be positioned adjacent to the first inclined portion 122 of the support 12. The golf club can then be gripped tightly (see FIG. 6(d)). At this time, the rounded outer surface of the golf club comes into complete contact with a part of the palm portion 11 positioned corresponding to the first inclined portion 122 of the support 12, thereby completely fixing the position of the golf club. When a golf swing is performed in this state, the golf club does not move within the palm, which has the effect of allowing a consistent golf swing to be performed.

[0059] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a state in which a fishing rod is gripped with sports glove 10 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0060] 8, when gripping a fishing rod using the sports glove 10 according to the present embodiment, the position of the fishing rod does not move within the palm, so the fishing rod can be easily held still for a long time with reduced consumption of grip strength. In addition, since the handle is well fixed when casting or snatching the fishing rod, it has the advantage of being stable to use.

[0061] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a state in which a motorcycle handlebar is gripped with sports glove 10 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0062] 9, when gripping a motorcycle handlebar with the sports glove 10 according to this embodiment, the palm of the hand sits comfortably on the handlebar, and the handlebar is supported by the support 12, so that the handlebar is prevented from coming off the palm of the hand. In addition, the consumption of grip strength for gripping the handlebar is reduced, so that fatigue in the hands can be reduced when riding a motorcycle for a long time.

[0063] FIG. 10 illustrates a sports glove 10 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0064] Referring to FIG. 10, a sports glove 10 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may include a support 12' similar to the support 12 according to the embodiment described above, instead of the support 12.

[0065] The support 12' may include a polyurethane foam material, as with the support 12 described above. The support 12' may include various materials, such as natural rubber and silicone, as well as polyurethane foam. Overall, the support 12' according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may be formed to have a lower height than the support 12 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure and may not include any inclined portion. Such a support 12' may increase the thickness of a portion of the palm portion disposed at the ridge of the palm. The support 12' may be formed into an overall trapezoid or triangle, and the oblique side may extend laterally in the direction between the thumb joint and the index finger joint. This may guide the direction in which a stick, such as a golf club, is placed on the palm portion. In addition, when a user with a large hand holds a small-diameter cylindrical stick, there is a problem that the stick shakes or moves within the hand, but when the support 12' is placed on the palm portion, the user with a large hand may firmly hold the small-diameter cylindrical stick.

[0066] In addition, the sports glove 10 according to the present embodiment can be used in leisure sports using sticks or poles, such as skiing, mountain climbing, etc. Therefore, the user can hold the stick or pole more stably, which has the effect of preventing safety accidents that may occur due to the stick or pole coming off the palm.

[0067] The sports glove 10 according to the present disclosure described above includes the support 12, which has the effect of allowing the user to stably grip the respective clubs or sticks when playing sports using sports clubs or sticks, such as golf, fishing, bike riding, skiing, mountain climbing, etc.

[0068] In particular, the sports glove 10 according to the present disclosure includes a support 12 that supports the handle of the golf club when the user grips the golf club, thereby preventing the golf club from moving or swinging within the palm of the hand during a fast golf swing, thereby enabling an accurate swing.

[0069] The various embodiments of the present disclosure described above can be combined with additional embodiments and can be modified within the scope that can be understood by a person skilled in the art from the above detailed description. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present disclosure are illustrative in all respects and are not limiting. For example, each component described as a single type can be implemented in a distributed form, and similarly, each component described as distributed can be implemented in a combined form. Therefore, all modifications or variations derived from the meaning, scope, and equivalent concept of the utility model registration claims of the present disclosure should be interpreted as being included in the scope of the present disclosure.
