Definitions
- the present invention relates to a glove with thumb joint protection.
- the US 4,295,229 relates to a football glove with a joint and a hand protection for offensive or defensive "linemen".
- the joint and hand protection consist of one pad each. While the joint pad extends from the hand over the wrist, the hand pad extends over the back of the hand to the metacarpophalangeal finger joints.
- Hanging finger loops made of an elastic material are provided on the finger pads. These elastic loops should not only be able to accommodate fingers of different sizes, but should also enable the fingers to be bent and used.
- a thumb pad is provided for the thumb, on which an elastic thumb loop is also arranged.
- limiting bands made of an inelastic material are provided, which are placed around the finger loops and sewn onto them.
- the elastic thumb loop is surrounded by a limiting band on the thumb pad. Furthermore, the limiting band and the thumb pad are connected to the finger pad via upper and lower leather parts to prevent excessive thumb deflection.
- the glove described is specially designed for football.
- the thumb pad is permanently connected to the finger pad and that the freedom of movement of the thumb is thus permanently restricted.
- FR-A-2 647 314 describes a thumb guard made of a reinforcing element made of plastic or metal, which limits the movement of the thumb.
- the reinforcing element is essentially in the form of a compressed circular band, one extremity of which is extended by a groove. The groove is intended for the thumb.
- the Reinforcing element is preferably integrated in a glove.
- a disadvantage of the thumb protection described is that the reinforcing element integrated in a glove permanently limits the freedom of movement of the thumb.
- the glove wearer may find the reinforcement element annoying when no sport is being practiced. It is therefore also intended to use a thumb guard that is not integrated in the glove, but can be used with different gloves.
- the thumb guard is not integrated in a glove, putting on the thumb guard and glove is quite cumbersome and time consuming and there is a risk that the thumb guard will be lost.
- DE-A-37 25 516 describes a thumb protection from a case which is pulled over the thumb area of a glove.
- the lower part of the case is firmly attached to the glove, so that the radial movement of the thumb is restricted.
- eyelets are provided on a thumb pocket and on the finger area of the glove, through which a cord can be pulled and then fastened.
- a disadvantage of the latter solution is that the glove cannot be put on alone because the cord cannot be tied with one hand.
- the glove wearer should have the choice of whether to use the thumb joint protector or not.
- the glove wearer should also be able to put on or take off the thumb protection himself and as quickly as possible.
- a glove in which the joint protection is formed by a loop arranged on the glove, into which the thumb is inserted to prevent injury to the thumb joint can.
- Such joint protection is intended in particular for sports enthusiasts, such as skiers or snowboarders, who particularly frequently suffer joint luxations in the region of the thumb root in the event of falls.
- the thumb joint protection according to the invention still has the great advantage for the user that he can activate or deactivate it at any time without having to take off the glove. There is also no risk that the joint protection could be lost as it is integrated on the glove. To make the joint protection effective, the thumb simply has to be inserted into the loop.
- the glove also has the surprising advantage, which is particularly appreciated by snowboarders, that the thumb sitting in the loop still has a certain freedom of movement, so that gripping movements can be carried out by hand and objects such as sunglasses, handkerchiefs or small sports equipment can be held. If even more freedom of movement is desired, the user of the glove - unlike the thumb joint protectors mentioned at the beginning - can pull the thumb out of the loop with ease.
- the loop is advantageously formed by a non-stretchable band, for example a nylon band.
- an elastic band can also be provided.
- the loop should be dimensioned so that the angle between the thumb and forefinger cannot exceed approximately 60 °.
- the loop is expediently fastened on the one hand on the side approximately at the index finger attachment and on the other hand on the inside of the glove in the area of the ring finger. This has the advantage that the thumb is aligned practically parallel to the other fingers. In addition, it can be arranged relatively close to the index and middle fingers. Injury to the thumb root area in the event of a fall is practically impossible.
- a reinforcement zone for example made of leather, is advantageously provided in the area of fastening the loop to the glove.
- An expedient embodiment provides that one end of the loop on the glove is undetachable and that other end is detachably fastened, for example, by a Velcro fastener. This allows the freedom of movement of the thumb to be adjusted individually without the help of other people. If the thumb protection is not required, the strap can be attached to the glove, for example by means of a Velcro fastener, ie without loops. The glove with thumb joint protection is then a "normal" glove, and the deactivated thumb joint protection is practically imperceptible.
- the glove 11 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a loop 13 on the inside of the glove, which is fastened on the side cheek behind the index finger and approximately in the middle of the glove.
- the loop is located where the index and middle finger base joint comes to rest when the hand is inserted into the glove.
- the loop 13 is dimensioned such that the thumb can be easily inserted into the loop 13 and pulled out again.
- the thumb expediently still has a certain freedom of movement when it sits in the loop, an abduction of the thumb, e.g. in the event of a fall, which makes loop 13 impossible.
- the loop 13 can be formed by an elastic or an inextensible band 15.
- the band 15 is preferably sewn on the side behind the index finger and approximately in the middle of the glove. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the band 15 extends over the entire inside of the glove. In the area where the loop is sewn onto the glove 11 a reinforcement zone 17, for example made of leather, is provided to prevent the strip 15 from being torn loose.
- the glove is made of a tear-resistant outer material, which can have a water-impermeable coating 19 on the inside of the glove. The coating has a rough surface to make the glove easier to grip.
- the loop 13 can also only be at one point on the glove 11, e.g. attached to the side of the glove on the index finger (not shown). If an elastic band 15 is used, the freedom of movement of the thumb can be increased somewhat. It is also conceivable to provide a band that is sewn onto the glove only at one end and is placed around the thumb if thumb joint protection is desired. For this purpose, the band can have a Velcro fastener at the loose end. Such an embodiment has the advantage that the freedom of movement of the thumb can be adjusted individually.
