Description

[0001]
[Technical field to which the invention belongs]
The present invention relates to a golf glove, and more particularly, to a golf glove having a pad for optimizing a grip of a golf club.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Generally, a golf player who is playing or practicing wears golf gloves on the hand opposite to the dominant arm. A right-handed golf player grips the grip of the golf club with his left hand and places his right hand on his left hand, and a left-handed golf player holds his grip with his right hand and places his left hand on his right hand. Therefore, the golf glove is worn on the opposite hand to the dominant hand.
[0003]
The purpose of the golf glove is not only to prevent the finger from being stuck in the palm of the golf club at the time of swinging or shooting the golf club, but also to prevent the grip from slipping and rotating, and to provide accurate grip with the palm and fingers. Makes gripping easier. Golf gloves are also effective in mitigating or preventing impact at impact, recoil at the time of swing top, and slip-through of a golf club. For this reason, almost all golf players swing a golf while playing or practicing with their gloves on the opposite hand of the dominant hand.
[0004]
According to the recognition of many golf players, whether beginners or skilled players, grasping the grip is extremely important for improving golf playing skills. In fact, if the grip is improper, the club face will not be stable at the time of swing top and impact, which is a typical cause of hooks, slices or miss shots. In addition, if there is a problem in how to hold the grip, the direction of the shot will not be stable and the flight distance will not be easily increased, and the golf play score will be degraded.
[0005]
In addition, even if the golf player has a stable grip and swing, even if the grip strength is reduced according to the age, or if a female golfer who originally has a weak grip strength, the grip grip during play may be reduced. It is easy to loosen, which often breaks the score.
[0006]
As means for stabilizing the grip, golf gloves in which a pad is provided on the surface of the palm are disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3042354 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-244444. According to the glove having this configuration, loosening of the grip force may be compensated for by the pad, and the grip of the grip may be optimized.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in this type of golf glove, the pad is exposed on the surface of the palm. The pad does not look good, and may be in the way when using putters or score marks, or during various operations other than swinging such as shaking hands with other players.
[0008]
In addition, a relatively large frictional force, abrasion force or tensile, compressive, or bending stress acts on the pad and its sewn portion due to the friction between the grip and the pad generated during the swing, the impact at the time of impact, etc. The sewing thread is easily worn or cut due to continuous use. On the other hand, it is possible to improve the durability of the pad and the sewn portion by taking measures such as enlarging the area of the pad mounting surface or devising a sewing technique. In view of this, there are limitations to such remedial measures.
[0009]
The pad exposed on the palm surface must also be manufactured with a material and a manufacturing method that take into account water resistance, prevention of dirt, and the like, which results in complicated or complicated manufacturing. For this reason, there is a demand for an improvement measure that enables the manufacture of the pad without considering water resistance, prevention of dirt, and the like.
[0010]
In addition, the pad attached to the palm surface is apt to be lost when dropped or removed, and the glove that has lost the pad must be used continuously as ordinary golf gloves. Measures are needed to prevent
[0011]
Furthermore, golf is a sport that is relatively sensitive to psychological effects, and many golf players do not want other players to be aware of using gloves with such pads.
[0012]
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a golf glove having a pad for optimizing the grip of a golf club, and to improve the appearance of the golf glove. To prevent worsening, impairment of movements other than swing, loss of pads, psychological effect on other players, early wear of pads, wear or cut of sewing thread, and further complicate or complicate the manufacturing process. Another object of the present invention is to make it possible to manufacture a pad without special consideration of water resistance of the pad, prevention of contamination, and the like.
[0013]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a golf glove worn on a hand opposite to a dominant arm, the golf glove having a pad for optimizing a grip of a golf club.
The pad has a core material having an appropriate shape-retaining property and a cover for covering the core material, and is detachably attached to the back surface of the palm of the glove body by a planar fastening device, and is attached in a position-adjustable manner.
The planar fastener comprises a first fastener element and a second fastener element that can be separated, the first fastener element is fixed to the back surface of the palm, and the second fastener element is integrated with the core material. Mounted

[0015]
According to the above configuration of the present invention, the pad is arranged on the back of the palm of the glove inside the glove and is not exposed to the outside world, so that the appearance of the golf glove does not deteriorate, and it is possible to prevent obstacles in movement other than swing. Hard to be. The pad placed inside the glove can be used without making other players aware of the use of the pad, has no psychological effect on other players, and is manufactured without considering water resistance, dirt prevention, etc. can do. Further, since the pad stays in the glove when it falls off from the back of the palm, it is difficult to lose the pad. Further, since the frictional force of the grip of the golf club acts on the pad through the material (synthetic leather or natural leather) of the palm of the glove, the pad is hardly worn, and the sewing thread is hardly worn or cut. . In addition, the possibility of selecting a material and a manufacturing method that can be used as a pad manufacturing material is increased, so that the manufacturing process can be simplified.
[0016]

[0020]
[Embodiment of the invention]
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a partially broken cross-sectional view showing the golf glove according to the present invention viewed from the back of the hand, and FIG. 2 is a front view showing the golf glove shown in FIG. 1 viewed from the palm side. is there. FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is a partially cut-away cross-sectional view of a golf glove showing a method of attaching and detaching pads.
[0021]
The golf glove 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 has a pad 10 arranged inside a glove body 11. The glove body 11 is made of a general golf glove manufactured by stamping and sewing a material such as natural leather or synthetic leather, and has a pocket portion into which a thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger can be inserted. If desired, the material of the glove body 11 is subjected to waterproofing or waterproofing. The glove body 11 covers almost entirely the golf player's hand when worn.
[0022]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a sheet-like female fastener element 14 is sewn on the back surface of the palm of the glove body 11. The seam 8 is shown in broken lines in FIG. The female-side fastener element 14 is a female member of a hook-and-loop fastener having a large number of synthetic resin-made raised brushes 18 (FIG. 3) formed over the entire surface of the synthetic resin base material. The female fastener element 14 extends obliquely from near the base of the middle finger to the little finger. The center line 6 of the female fastener element 14 is inclined at an angle α to the center axis 5 of the glove 1. Is set to an angle value within a range of 30 to 60 degrees. The side edge of the female fastener element 14 has a form that slightly expands toward the wrist, and the opening angle β is set to an angle value within a range of 10 to 30 degrees.
[0023]
As shown in FIG. 3, the pad 10 includes a sheet-like male fastener element 15, a cover 16 sewn to the male fastener element 15, and a core 17 accommodated in the cover 16. The male fastener element 15 is formed of a male member of a hook-and-loop fastener having a large number of hook-shaped fine projections 19 formed over the entire surface of the synthetic resin base material, and has a substantially rectangular outline in a front view. The cover 16, like the glove body 11, is made of a material such as natural leather or synthetic leather, and is arranged so as to cover the entire back surface of the male fastener element 15. The outer edge of the cover 16 is aligned and sewn to the outer edge of the male fastener element 15, and a seam 12 is formed on the outer periphery of the pad 10. The cover 16 protrudes from the male fastener element 15 and forms a storage area for the core 17 between the male fastener element 15 and the male fastener element 15. The core material 17 is formed by filling a space between the cover 16 and the male fastener element 15 in a state where a fibrous material such as paper and nonwoven fabric is folded or laminated in multiple layers.
[0024]
By fastening the male fastener element 15 of the pad 10 to the female fastener element 14, the pad 10 is attached to the back of the palm of the glove body 11 in a detachable and position-adjustable manner. As shown in FIG. 3, the pad 10 filled with the core material 17 has a ridge having a convex cross-sectional profile with a slightly curved central portion due to the moderate shape retention and deformability of the core material 17. Formed. The height T of the ridge formed by the pad 10 is preferably set to a dimension of 5 mm or more. In the present embodiment, the height T is set to about 10 mm. The width W (FIG. 1) of the pad 10 is set to 10 to 30 mm (about 20 mm in this example), and the length L (FIG. 1) of the pad 10 is set to 40 to 80 mm (about 60 mm in this example). Is set.
[0025]
The planar fastener 13 composed of the male and female fastener elements 14 and 15 is different from the chemical coupling means of a chemical substance such as an adhesive, and provides a mechanical coupling means which can be separated and fastened relatively easily. And between the glove body 11. The golf player can attach or detach the pad 10 to or from the glove body 11 frequently and at any time. When the pad 10 is removed, the female fastener element 14 comes into direct contact with the palm of the golf player, but the loop-like brushed portion 18 of the female fastener element 14 does not give the player any discomfort.
[0026]
FIG. 5 is a front view showing a state in which the glove 1 with the pad 10 fixed thereto is worn and the grip 2 of the golf club is held, and FIG. 6 is formed on the palm surface of the glove 1 by the pad 10. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a convex ridge.
[0027]
The pad 10 fixed to the palm of the glove body 11 is arranged inside the glove 1 when worn and is visually hidden from the outside. However, the pad 10 hits the palm 30 of the human body inside the glove 1 and The palm bulges outward. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 6, a ridge 20 made of a continuous body of convex ridges is formed on the palm of the glove 1, and the ridge 20 abuts on the grip 2.
[0028]
As shown in FIG. 5, the ridge 20 abuts on the grip 2 while gripping the grip 2 of the golf club, and the position of the grip 2 is regulated by the pad 10. As described above, since the pad 10 is detachably fastened to the glove body 11 by the surface fastener 13, the golf player can position the pad 10 (angle α, length direction position, width direction position). Can be adjusted appropriately, and the pad 10 can be positioned and fixed at an arbitrary position suitable for the player's own personality or body shape. For example, when the golf player is conscious of an uncomfortable feeling or a problem in the position or the direction of the grip 2, as shown in FIG. 4, the pad 10 is removed from the inner surface of the glove 1 and the inner surface of the glove is corrected in an appropriate position and direction. Can be fixed again. After the player once positions the pad 10 at the optimum position, the player may confirm the suitability of the grip state by the contact state between the pad 10 and the grip 2 at each set position before the shot.
[0029]
Since the ridge 20 occupies a gap that is likely to be formed in the palm of the glove 1 during the swing of the golf club, a stable feeling that the grip 2 can be properly gripped with relatively weak gripping force is obtained in the set position. Since the direction of the grip 2 during the swing is regulated to some extent by the ridge 20, the direction of the club face is also stabilized.
[0030]
In addition, the ridge 20 closes a gap that is likely to occur in the palm of the glove 1 at the time of a shot, and prevents play (a gap) that allows unnecessary movement of the grip 2 from being formed in the palm. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of miss shots, hooks, slices, and the like due to a decrease in grip grip strength.
[0031]
Furthermore, the presence of the ridges 20 already provides a sense of security in the set position in which the grip 2 can be properly gripped with relatively weak gripping force, so that the golf player can perform a club swing in a relatively relaxed state. This naturally increases the flight distance and the directional stability of the shot.
[0032]
As described above, according to the present invention, the golf glove 1 has the elongated pad 10 attached to the back of the palm of the glove body 11, and the pad 10 is detachably attached to the back of the palm and is adjustable in position. Is done. The pad 10 forms a ridge 20 on the palm surface along the grip 2 of the golf club during setup.
