Abstract

A boxing glove having a lace track system 177 extending from the opening at the wrist to the palm of the glove. Separating the lacing from the wearer’s wrist is a tongue 187 with an open-ended pocket for receiving one or more inserts. A pair of specially-shaped devices (fig 3i and fig 3j) are used to push the inserts into the pocket. The inserts may be padded (130, fig 3k) or weighted and padded (101, fig 3n). The glove preferably also comprises straps 188, 185 attached to either side of the glove. The straps may have eyelets close to the point of attachment to the glove that allow the laces to pass around the back of the glove. The straps are capable of mutually securing by means of hook and loop fastenings such that the knot in the laces is concealed. A similar closure system may be employed with other combat sportswear such as helmets or shin guards.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention is in the field of combat sports pertaining to Personal Protective Equipment as used in amateur and professional Boxing matches and for training purposes.
Combat Sports first made its mark during the Olympic Games back in 688 B.C., when easygoing leather straps were utilized to wrap boxers' hands and forearms for protection. The concept of protection further evolved into a cestus, which refers to ancient model of boxing glove as we may call it today. During the Roman era, leather thongs were swapped for the cestus -a glove peppered with metal. Regrettably the concept never helped the gladiators taking part in the sport, as boxing matches of the era mostly concluded with the death of one or other competitor.
With the demise of the Roman Empire, boxing too suffered the same fate. It reemerged in 17th century England, and an organized amateur boxing officially began in 1880. Originally only five weight segments were adopted: Bantam, not exceeding 54 kilos; Feather, not exceeding 57 kilos; Light, not exceeding 63.5 kilos; Middle, not exceeding 73 kilos; and Heavy, any weight.
Throughout the ages, the major issue which the fighters faced was of fitting, tightening and protection through combat equipment. The combat gear today is obviously much more advanced and regulated. The closure system is carefully considered.
As the years have gone by, Velcro® gloves (Hook and Loop Closure) have become incredibly popular. However, the problem of lack of snug fitting and slipping still exists therefore fighters opt for inner wraps or mitts, which securely engages to hands while minimizing the concerns of twisting, sliding or wrist alignment that may cause injuries.
Furthermore, no matter how well trained fighter there are, they will never get any special training on how to take a punch on their skull or striking with immense might by bringing their shin in action. Rather, they will train to keep their guard up, dodge, bob, and weave to take each hit and utilize the least amount of force possible with their shin while they train. But keeping in mind that opponents are skilled to land effective punches mostly on their head, it's certain that some impacts will definitely shake their protective gear no matter how snugly they are fitted. And that's where the need for the extra strong grip, extra snug fit and extra friction for tightening in their protective equipment comes in.
The closure system is intended to be a protective cushion to prevent damage to the boxer's hand, skull, shin and more as lie strikes or take strikes during training targets or at another fighter, and to prevent damage to the fighters opponents who are struck.
Combat athletes, especially mixed martial arts (MMA) specialists, use gloves that generally are bulky, thick, and less snug and lack in sufficient wrist and hand support. These conventional gloves rapidly, and with tiresome use, lose the ability to maintain proper fit and function even using lace or strap system. This greatly impact the amount of force transfer and consequent fist functioning also causing hand injuries. Another dangerous shortcoming of these conventional combat specifically boxing gloves is that due to unavailability of snug fitting or loose tightening the wrist area of the Athlete can be unstable while applying the force on an opponent which will result in improper bone alignment followed by an injury during training of fight competition.
The most important factor that has been ignored historically till date is size of wrist, every human being has a different size of wrist very across population, while subsequent compartment designed for wrist in conventional boxing gloves is stagnant and never change according to the needs of Athlete making it less comfortable and leaving no option except using hand wraps for an Athlete with thin wrist while agitated wrist for an Athlete with thick wrist.
Most notably the boxing gloves are contrived with secure padding only in upper knuckle portion to guard the knuckles or for the protection of the opponent. Typically the outer shell surface layer of the glove is soft but durable leather or vinyl, and the inner glove is a very strong cotton or equivalent material. However, presently minimum cushioning is provided in palm-wrist segment (such as carpus bones area or above that area) with a focus on offering maximum gripping comfort to the fighter due to which the wrist injuries, irritation, rashes on the palm-wrist area increases. Hence, the focus should have been on providing the maximum tightening support with resilient cushioned padding to avoid wrist injuries which currently very rare combat brands are offering and that too with substandard quality.
Furthermore, since existing boxing gloves may only he worn in one particular orientation, they may only be suitable for purposes which are appropriate for the configuration of the palm side of the glove and palm-wrist grip plays an important role to protect fist, carpus hones and overall wrist area which connects wrist to hand. Presently, boxing gloves provides a grip with smaller area of cushioning (padding inner wrist sides of the gloves on both sides of the cuts which joins each other) as shown in FIG 4a,(10,20, 70,80), 4b (30,40,50,60), the sidelines of the laces of the inner palm wrist area of the gloves. The type of gloves bring irritation to the wrist and does not provide maximum grip to the palm-wrist area of the boxing gloves. The existing boxing gloves comes in several designs e.g. laces boxing gloves Fig 4a, 4h, and with strap (without laces) 4c, 4d and some in buckle strap which is still not enough to overcome with the issue faced by several fighters globally. The boxing gloves shows in figure 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d which is the most common trend in the boxing industry to manufacture such gloves. It is clear that no cushioning or inner wrist padding has been added to support the wrist or fist in comparison to the present invention, also nothing is introduced to cater different wrist size of object.
It is also known that presently when a fighter wishes to add more grip they wear tape on the wrist on the upper side of the gloves or inside with full tightening so the fist or wrist remain free from injury concerns and gives a snug fit. Presently, the boxing gloves lace system does not provide enough tightening throughout the wrist circle and because of the minimum cushioning at inner side of laces the risk of damage increases. However, the present invention fulfills every need of a combat fighter in several ways. Therefore there remains a need for a glove, particularly a sports glove, which overcomes or alleviates one or more of the above problems.
In gloves now on the market, particularly combat gloves specifically boxing gloves and other combat sports gear including but not limited to shin and head guard, the tongue of the gloves or shin or helmet is non-yielding to any material extent, so that if the gloves are tightly laced to prevent the wrist injury due to loosing of grip, the wrist is considerably constrained under the laces and movement of muscles is confined.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
