Description

【Technical Field】 【0001】 Field and Background of the Invention The present invention relates to gloves. More particularly, the present invention relates to gloves that can be used by athletes, which are configured such that the movement of the hand within the glove is limited or restricted to a certain extent. In one form, the gloves can be used by persons in the fields of boxing and mixed martial arts (MMA), but the present invention is not limited thereto. 【Background Art】 【0002】 Combat sports have been popular sports since ancient times. For most of the past about 100 years, boxing has been a major attraction in attracting audiences and thus generating revenue. As sports have evolved with stronger athletes, the protection of athletes has also evolved significantly. Boxing gloves 50 years ago were closer to mittens compared to the boxing gloves available today. Not only has the appearance of the gloves changed, but the internal mechanics have also advanced to better protect the hands of combatants. 【0003】 In the last approximately 20 years, and certainly in the last 10 years, mixed martial arts (MMA) has become one of the top combat sports in terms of attracting audiences and generating revenue, surpassing boxing. As with anything new, the rules are evolving, but the protection of combatants is lagging in one particular industry. 【0004】 The nature of "mixed" combat sports itself mainly includes a mixture of boxing techniques and grappling techniques. Grappling techniques do not involve the kind of restrictions where the hands, especially the fingers, of combatants are incorporated into boxing gloves, and it is necessary to expose the fingers of combatants so that they can use their finger techniques and mobility to grab their opponents in various ways in order to subdue their opponents and win the match. 【0005】 In MMA, one of the long-standing safety issues, particularly as a result of the "open-finger glove" design, is "eye gouging." Eye gouging can happen at any time, even unintentionally. If a fighter approaches and prepares to throw a punch, but suddenly has to change their fist to a kind of open-palm defense in response to their opponent's movement, the fingertips of their outstretched, straight hand could directly enter the opponent's eye, potentially causing not only discomfort or temporary blurring of vision, but also permanent eye damage. 【0006】 In combat sports, more specifically in mixed martial arts (MMA), boxing is combined with wrestling (grappling). Boxing requires a closed fist position, while grappling requires the hand to be open and extended. Therefore, the design of gloves worn by these fighters differs; in MMA, the fingers are exposed, allowing for free gripping and movement, while boxing gloves completely enclose the hand. In MMA, where both boxing and grappling are used, traditional gloves that expose and allow free finger movement can increase the risk of injury, even unintentionally. 【0007】 For a long time, there has been a demand for a glove design that offers padding similar to boxing gloves, while allowing for finger gripping motions and simultaneously limiting the possibility of the fingers poking an opponent's eyes or other vulnerable body parts. [Overview of the project] 【0008】 In one aspect of the present invention, a glove is provided, preferably for mixed martial arts (MMA), that protects the fighter's hand while allowing the fighter to use their fingers, and also protects the fighter's opponent from accidental eye gouging or other injuries caused by fingertips. 【0009】 The glove according to the present invention restricts the user's hand to the following positions: the fist position and the "resting" position, and in the "resting" position, the hand cannot be fully extended. 【0010】 Current MMA gloves are manufactured in only a few sizes, and as a result, they do not fit snugly around the fingers due to their nature. In fact, many glove designs utilize flexible material on the sides of the fingers, while the top and bottom of the glove are typically made of more rigid materials such as leather. In MMA gloves, the thumb can be fully or partially exposed, and when the other fingers are exposed, one or two joints of each finger can be exposed. The flexible material on the sides of the glove allows for a much greater range of motion of the fingers within the actual finger area of ​​the glove. 【0011】 The combination of increased mobility due to material selection in conventional gloves and built-in mobility allows a fighter's fingers to be fully extended, creating a risk of blinding their opponent. 【0012】 This invention relates to providing better fit and flexibility for fighters while solving this safety problem. 【0013】 When a person's hand is in a naturally relaxed state, it is curved. The palm is cup-shaped, and the fingers are arched. This is a shape that, according to the present invention, limits the user's ability to further open or straighten their hand. Conversely, the gloves of the present invention do not limit the user's hand to closing completely and without obstruction. Furthermore, it should be noted that the materials used in the present invention are of a type that restricts the extra movement seen in currently available designs while allowing for a more secure fit to the hand. 【0014】 By restricting the user's ability to extend and straighten their fingers, the possibility of unintentional eye gouging or other injuries that could be inflicted on an opponent by extended fingers is significantly limited, as the natural arch of the hand and fingers is not programmed or specifically configured to make contact in any way or manner. An open hand and straight fingers are more common for slapping than for punching, as the fist is for punching. With an open hand, the limitations on movement provided by the gloves of this invention no longer create or significantly reduce the option for the user to randomly attack an opponent with their hand and cause eye damage. 【0015】 Furthermore, the design of this invention also utilizes connecting materials that limit the amount of independent movement between each finger. This design feature also limits the possibility of injury to the user's finger joints.

[Modes for carrying out the invention] 【0017】 The present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The various drawings of this application illustrate various embodiments of the gloves according to the present invention, all of which have the ability to set the hand in a proper position and restrict its specific movements, particularly for athletes engaged in the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA). An important object of the present invention is to provide a glove that limits or restricts the use of hand movements so that the fingers cannot be extended in a straight line in general, and that holds the fingers in a bent or arched position to protect the opponent from certain injuries such as eye gouging. The gloves of the present invention also allow the user to assume a clenched fist position. 【0018】 Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the glove 14 of this embodiment. One end of the cord 26 is attached to the finger sheath at the bottom of the fingertip 6, and the other end of the cord 26 is attached to the lower palm surface 5. The web 35 is attached between the cord 26 and the palm material contact area 35A / finger sheath material contact area 35B. The articulation pads 16 and retention straps 17 / 18 are also shown in detail. 【0019】 Figures 2-5 show a glove 36 of another embodiment according to the present invention. Figure 2 is a view with the palm facing upwards, Figure 3 is a view with the palm facing downwards, Figure 4 is a side view with the hand in a natural resting position, and Figure 5 is another side view with the hand clenched. 【0020】 A thumb sheath 37 is provided, having a thumb sheath tip 37A that forms a closed end. A web 39 restricts movement from the thumb sheath to the finger sheath, and a web 40 restricts movement from one finger sheath to the other. A finger sheath 41 has a sheath tip 41A that forms a closed end. The glove 36 further includes a restraining palm material 42, an upper tightening strap 44, a lower tightening strap 45, and an opening 46 from which the hand is inserted into the glove 36. Furthermore, some of these figures show an articulation pad 43. An upper tightening fixing material 44A is attached to a fixing material 44B, and a fixing material 45A is attached to a fixing material 45B. An opening 46A provides an additional entry flap for the hand. Furthermore, there is an upper material 49. In Figure 22, a restraining bottom outer material 42 is shown, and in Figure 23 of the drawings, a restraining lateral outer material 50 is shown. 【0021】 Nets 39 and 40 may be somewhat flexible, but still keep the fingers restricted from moving away from each other, which helps minimize injury, especially when grabbed by an opponent. Closed finger and thumb sheaths 37A and 41A are provided. Cover material 42 may be used to restrict the fingers from fully extending. 【0022】 As shown in Figure 4, the palm material 42 and the surrounding portion 42A extending from the side to the upper material have the effect of restricting mobility, but this is limited to the extension direction and not to the gripping direction. 【0023】 Figure 6 is a diagram similar to that shown in Figure 4, showing the restraint net or web 39 between the finger sheath and the thumb sheath. The extended palmar surface 42 and back of hand surface 49 are also shown in detail. This diagram shows a hand inside a glove when the human hand is in its natural, i.e., resting position. 【0024】 Figure 7 shows a notch 49A to represent the internal space for the hand within the glove 36. This figure also shows the bottom surface 41B of the finger sheath, which is not visible in this embodiment due to the palm material 42. This figure clearly shows how the ability of the finger sheath to straighten is constrained by the fact that the extended palm material 42 is attached to the fingertip area 41A of the finger sheath 41. The extended palm surface 42 and back surface 49 are also shown in detail. 【0025】 Figure 8 shows another embodiment in which the hand 1 is inside the glove 36. The finger sheath has only the top material and fingertip material, palm material 42, and the space 42A between the fingers and the palm material. The extended palm 42 and back of hand 49 are also shown in detail. 【0026】 Figure 9 shows a glove of another embodiment according to the present invention, which addresses the potential problem of excess material in the palm area when the hand is in the fist position. The finger sheath bottom material 41 is shortened in length to reduce the bulk of the material in the palm area when the glove is gripped. The internal diagram shows a small inclined portion 41B of the bottom finger sheath material, which guides the fingertips into the inner sheath fingertip pocket 41C, which is the only portion of the finger sheath that surrounds the fingers. The finger sheath bottom material 41B is attached to the palm material 42 in such a manner that it creates an inclined portion that guides the fingers into the fingertip pocket 41C. The area indicated by reference numeral 42A is an internal unused area. The extended palm surface 42 and back surface 49 are also shown in detail. 【0027】 Figures 10-14 in the drawings show another embodiment of the present invention. 【0028】 Figure 10 shows an extended palm material 67, which has a siding material 66 that fills the gap between the bottom surface of the finger sheath and the extended palm material. The wrapping material 67A of the palm material 67 is wrapped around the sides of the finger sheath and the ends of the upper material, thereby allowing the fingertip size of the sheath to be adjusted while keeping it open, and the palm material 67 restrains the finger sheath in an arched shape, similar to that of a resting hand, so that the palm material also restrains the finger sheath from becoming straight. 【0029】 Furthermore, the glove 62 is equipped with an upper tightening strap 70, a lower tightening strap 71, and joint pads. The back of the hand 49 is also shown in detail. 【0030】 Figure 11 shows a side view of the glove according to this embodiment, which has a partial cutout 73 and shows the hand in its natural resting position inside the glove 62, including the thumb and other fingers extending from the finger and thumb sheath openings. The figure also shows the internal open space 66A of the finger sheath, the internal inclined area 66B (unused space) of the finger sheath, and the extended palm material 67. The finger sheath has an upper surface 65, a fingertip portion 5A, and a partial bottom surface 67B, the fingertip portion 5A is attached to the extended palm surface 67D at a connection point 67D, and the partial bottom surface 67B of the finger sheath has a flexed portion which starts from the joint between the distal and middle phalanges 67E of the user's finger, and extends inward from the finger at an angle of 45 to 90 degrees towards the inside of the extended palm surface, where it connects at point 67F, forming an inclination 67C configured to guide the user's fingertip into the only portion of the finger sheath that completely encloses the user's fingertip. Joint pads 72 and 72A are provided, and the notch 73 helps to indicate the position and fit of the hand within the glove 62. 【0031】 Figure 12 shows a palm-down view of an embodiment of the present invention, including details showing a palmar perimeter material 67A surrounding the edges of the finger sheath 65 to adjust the size of the fingertip opening. A restraining web 74 is provided between the finger sheath and the thumb sheath. Furthermore, a restraining web 75 is shown between adjacent finger sheaths. 【0032】 Figure 13 shows a view of the glove 62 with the palm facing upwards, and shows the palm material 67 and the palm surrounding material 67A that surrounds the fingertips of the finger sheath 65 together with the webs 74 and 75. 【0033】 Figure 14 is a similar diagram to that shown in Figure 13, but without the net or web between the sheaths shown in detail in Figure 13. This is evident from the unlimited spaces 77 and 78 between the finger sheaths and between the finger sheath and the thumb sheath, respectively. 【0034】 Figures 15-18 illustrate yet another embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a system in which the degree of finger extension restriction of the finger sheath is adjustable by the user. This may be useful in professional combat sports where consistency of fairness is extremely important. The adjustability of the glove in this embodiment ensures that the degree of finger extension restriction is the same for each competitor. These figures are similar to those shown in the previously described embodiments, except that the net or web has been removed. 【0035】 Figure 15 shows that the glove 79 in this embodiment includes an upper tightening strap 80, an inner palm surface 81, and a folded cord attachment tab 82. An upper flap 82A of the cord attachment tab is provided for adjusting the cords 85, with attachment holes 84. Each cord 85 passes through the attachment holes 84 and is terminated with a cord knot 86. At the opposite end of the cord 85, the cord 85 is flattened and has a sewn-in cord end 87. It should be understood that using knots to adjust the degree of constraint of the finger sheath is just one method of making adjustments. 【0036】 Figure 16 shows an extended palm access flap 88 portion of the outer palm surface 67 that provides access to adjust the internal restraint system. The user can see that the cord attachment tab 82 is made of a flexible yet tough material, thereby allowing the cord to be adjusted to limit the curvature of the finger sheath. The knot is tied to achieve the desired level of restraint by properly adjusting the length of the cord 85. The extended palm access flap 88 can be held closed by hook-and-loop fastener (Velcro) material or by any other fastening or connecting mechanism. The attachment material 89 of the extended palm access flap 88 corresponds to the attachment material 90 of the glove 79, which together may be a hook-and-loop fastener and operate to keep the extended palm access flap 88 closed when access is not needed. 【0037】 Figure 17 is a side view of the partial notch 73, which includes an additional, deeper notch 91, providing a view through the skin of the hand between the thumb and index finger. From this figure, it can be seen how the cord attachment tab 82 is attached to the inner palm surface 81 below the extended palm access flap 88. The natural resting position of the fingers is shown, as indicated by reference numeral 92, and this figure clearly illustrates the effect of the cord 85 in restricting the user from straightening or extending the fingers. The back of the hand 49 is also shown in detail. 【0038】 Figure 18 shows a diagram similar to that of Figure 17. The knot tail 86A of the cord shows a longer tail than that shown in Figure 16, because the finger sheath is pulled more tightly, making the arch of the finger sheath smaller. Clearly, the tail is longer when the knot is further up the cord, and vice versa. Reference numeral 92A helps to show the angle at which the finger sheath is constrained by the cord compared to reference numeral 92 in Figure 17, which is pulled more tightly and tied in place after passing through the cord attachment tab hole 84 of the cord attachment tab 82. 【0039】 Figures 19–21 show embodiments of the present invention incorporating adjustable fingertip adjustment straps. The purpose and function of the adjustment straps is to better accommodate fingers that may be narrower, i.e., smaller in circumference than the actual finger sheath end opening. By adjusting this wrap after the hand is placed in the glove, the wearer's fingers are snugly housed within the glove's sheath, allowing the glove to operate at its maximum design efficiency. The back of the hand 49 is also shown in detail. 【0040】 Figure 19 shows a glove including an upper tightening strap 70, articulation pads 72, and an adjustable fingertip adjustment belt 95. This consists of a fixed end of the adjustable fingertip adjustment belt 95 and an adjustable end of the adjustable fingertip adjustment belt 95A, whose position can be changed to alter the size of the finger opening or its vicinity. Fixed end stitching 96 ensures effective fastening of the glove. The fingertip adjustment belt includes a tightening strap hook-and-loop fastener material 97 (male side) and a tightening strap contact adhesive material 98 (female side). The adhesive material 98 can be positioned in various ways on the hook-and-loop fastener material 97, thereby holding the finger opening to its maximum size, or slightly tightening the lower part of the finger sheath material 97 and 98 to make the finger opening smaller. Proper adjustment can be made based on the slenderness or circumference of the finger. Thus, this embodiment provides an additional layer of fit, thereby taking advantage of the maximum comfort and efficiency of the glove. 【0041】 Figures 20 and 21 show details of the adjustable fingertip adjustment belt. Figure 20 shows the belt in an unwound state, and Figure 21 shows the belt in a fixed position, adjusted to the circumference of the wearer's finger. These figures show finger 5 inside the finger sheath 65. The fixed end of the adjustable fingertip adjustment belt 95 is detachably connected to the adjustable end of the adjustable fingertip adjustment belt 95A. The fixing strap 97 (male side) of the hook-and-loop fastener material therefore detachably engages with the fixing strap contact adhesive surface 98 (female side). Reference numeral 99 represents the finger sheath, which is tightened into a smaller opening to provide a more complete and effective contact fit around finger 5. 【0042】 In Figure 22, which shows the hand 110, the palmar side 111 of the hand is shown in a relaxed position, and there is substantial space 114 between the fingers 112 other than the thumb and the thumb 113, and substantial space 115 between the thumb and the finger closest to it. 【0043】 In Figure 23, which shows the hand 110, the palmar side 111 of the hand is shown in a compressed position, with a smaller space 114 between the fingers 112 other than the thumb than that shown in Figure 22, and the thumb which has been moved to cross the palmar area 111. 【0044】 Figure 24 shows the glove 120 viewed from a lateral angle, and includes an entry end 120A, a wrist area 120B, an extended palm surface 120C, a back of hand surface 120D, a side surface 120E, multiple finger sheaths 121, a thumb sheath 122, a thumb sheath connection point 122B, an articulation pad 123, and an expandable area 124 for wider access to the entry portion 120A, extending from the entry end portion 120A along the side surface 120B of the glove and having an endpoint 125 near the convergence point 122A of the thumb sheath and index finger sheath, and having multiple opening and closing straps through slots 126, the expandable area 124 having a palm edge 124A and a back of hand edge 124B. 【0045】 Figure 25 shows a glove 120, which includes an opening / closing strap 127 with attachment endpoints 128, which is divided into several straps 130, with separation slots 129 between the straps 130, and the straps 130 are attached to the wrist side portion 120G at the attachment points 128. The opening / closing strap 127 has a male fastener tab 131, which is detachably fastened to a female fastener tab 132 located in the wrist side region, between the thumb sheath and the user entrance position. 【0046】 Figure 26 shows a glove which has an opening / closing strap 127, with a separation portion of the opening / closing strap, and several straps 130 which pass through opening / closing strap passage slots 126 in the upper side wrist portion 120F of the glove 120. When the opening / closing strap 127 is pulled across the side opening area 124 in the direction of arrow 133, the upper side wrist portion 120F of the glove is pulled toward the lower side wrist portion 120G, thereby closing the side opening area 124, the closure of the side area is further indicated by the direction arrow 124A. The amount of closure is determined by the size of the user's wrist, and after a comfortable fit is achieved, the opening / closing strap 127 wrapped around the wrist portion 120B of the glove 120 aligns with opening / closing tabs 131 and 132 to ensure the closure. 【0047】 Figure 27 shows a fashion glove which has a back of hand 141, an opening / entry point 142, a thumb sheath 143, multiple finger sheaths 144, an expandable area 145 of the thumb sheath that opens beyond the attachment point closest to the opening / entry point 142, indicated by 145A, for easier insertion of the hand into the glove, an adjustable strap 146, a directional arrow 148 indicating the direction in which the opening / closing strap 146 is moved to open the glove, and a directional arrow 147 indicating the direction in which the back of the glove 141 is moved to further open the glove for insertion of the hand. 【0048】 Figure 28 shows a combat glove 150, which has a palm section 151, multiple finger sheaths 152, finger sheaths 153, an opening / entry section 154, an opening / closing strap 155, and an opening area 156 in the palm section, where arrow 157 indicates the direction in which the adjustment strap 155 is moved to further open the glove, and arrow 158 indicates the direction in which the palm section is moved to allow the user to put their hand into the glove. 【0049】 Figure 29 shows a winter glove, which has a back of hand 161, a thumb sheath 162, multiple finger sheaths 163, a wrist section 164, an opening / entry point 165, and an internal expandable area 166, with directional arrows 167 and 168 detailing the direction in which the expandable area moves when the user puts their hand into the glove. 【0050】 Figure 30 shows a driving glove which has a back of hand 171, multiple finger sheaths 172, an opening / entry point 173, a wrist portion 174, adjustable straps 175 and 176, an adjustable strap fastening button 177, and an open area on the back of hand 178, with arrows 179 and 180 detailing the direction in which the back of hand moves in the open area 178 to allow the user to further insert their hand into the glove. 【0051】 The present invention, as described herein in various embodiments, should be understood to take many different forms and shapes. At the core of all embodiments is to provide a glove that includes a structure for restricting the movement of the hand or fingers placed inside the glove. The glove of the present invention makes it easier for the user to put on the glove without having to constrict their hand to twist it into the glove's conventionally small wrist opening, while providing a comfortable environment when the user's hand is in a natural, slightly bent position as well as when it is clenched, i.e., in a fist position, but is uncomfortable when the user's fingers are in a flat, straight, extended, or linear position. As mentioned above, when the fingers are straight or extended, this increases the likelihood of injury to both the opponent and the user of the glove.
