Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a wrist glove. More particularly, the present invention relates to a wrist glove capable of assisting a user to restrict a wrist from turning, moving and bending to maintain a stance during sport.
- 2. Related Art
- Generally, when playing golf, the bending extent of the golfer's wrist in guiding a golf club must be properly controlled during swinging. As for common golfers, on the basis of mastering many crucial skill points, if both a correct griping stance and an address stance are correct, different turning, moving and bending changes occur once the wrist is swung when swinging of the golf club. When the club is swung up to reach the top point, the controlling of the wrist's bending extent is often neglected, and when the club is swung down to hit the ball, the bending of the wrist is still not correct, and as a result, the impact face is not correct, and thus causing the hook or slice, and the hitting distance is also affected.
- Referring to
FIGS. 1A to 1E , if aconventional glove 1 is worn by a golfer when playing golf, and the golfer back swings to reach the top point, his/her wrist for guiding the club usually bends forwards (i.e., the center of the wrist is depressed) as shown inFIG. 1C , which may cause the impact face to lean towards the open face when the golfer down swings to hit the ball, and thus resulting in slice. Sometimes, when the golfer back swings to reach the top pint, his/her wrist for guiding the club usually protrudes and bends upwards (i.e., the center of the wrist is protruded) as shown inFIG. 1D , which may cause the impact face to lean towards the close face when the person down swings to hit the ball, and thus resulting in hook. Furthermore, when the golfer down swings to follow through, slightly bending changes may occur to the wrist because of quick swing, and the impact point is also changed, as a result, it is impossible to accurately hit the golf center with the impact face. All the above various slightly incorrect actions may result in an incorrect impact point, so as to affect the flying direction and the distance of the ball. This is the general problem for common golfers or beginners. - Therefore, gloves capable of assisting a user to restrict the wrist from turning, moving and bending during sports and to maintain a fixed stance during swinging have been frequently proposed. Although the bending problem of a part of the palm can be solved, the assisting effect is still quite limited. U.S. Pat. No. 6,539,551 discloses a golf glove shown in FIG 1E. A supporting strip is disposed on the back side of the glove, such that when the user wears this kind of
glove 2, the supporting strip can restrict the user's palm metacarpal to prevent the palm from bending towards the hand back direction. However, in thegolf glove 2, a supporting strip is only provided on the back side of the glove, which is merely capable of preventing the palm from bending towards the hand back direction when the user swings the club. However, the material of common gloves is quite soft and elastic, so it is still possible for the user's palm to bend towards the palm center side, or to over-bend towards the hand knife side and the thumb side. The supporting strip disposed in thegolf glove 2 extends from a bottom arthrosis of the finger to the wrist part, which does not extend across the wrist part, so it is still possible for the wrist to bend towards direction of the hand back. Therefore, the bending and stance changes of the palm may result in deviation of the hit point when swinging to hit the ball, so as to greatly influence the hitting result. In addition, the number and kind of the supporting strip in thegolf glove 2 cannot be changed, so the supporting power and strength offered by the supporting strip cannot be changed depending upon different users to satisfy the individual comfort requirement, which may result in inconvenience for the user. - In view of the above problems, the present invention is provide a wrist glove, so as to solve the problem in the conventional glove cannot effectively maintain the user at a fixed stance to result in deviations or errors when playing golf, and solve the problem that the supporting strip in the conventional glove cannot be replaced, increased, or reduced randomly selectively as desired according to the user's requirements, and capable of enhancing an effect of protecting the wrist.
- In order to achieve the above objective, the present invention provides a wrist glove, applicable for wrapping a user's hand, wrist, and forepart of forearm, so as to assist the user to restrict the wrist from turning, moving and bending during sports, and to maintain a fixed stance when swinging. The wrist glove includes a glove portion, a wrist-guard portion, a first accommodating portion, a second accommodating portion, a third accommodating portion, and at least one supporting member. The glove portion has a finger portion and a palm portion, and the finger portion and the palm portion wrap a plurality of fingers and a palm of the hand respectively. The palm portion has a palm center portion corresponding to the inner side of the palm, a palm back portion corresponding to the other side of the palm, and a hand knife portion corresponding to a hand knife part of the palm. The wrist-guard portion is connected to the other side of the palm portion opposite to the finger portion, and wraps the wrist and the forepart of the forearm. The first accommodating portion is disposed on a surface of the wrist-guard portion and the palm back portion, and has at least three pockets arranged side by side, which are corresponding to a second metacarpal, a left side of the second metacarpal, and a right side of the second metacarpal of the palm respectively. The second accommodating portion is disposed on a surface of the wrist-guard portion and the palm center portion, and has one to three uniformly-arranged parallel pockets. The third accommodating portion is disposed on a surface of the wrist-guard portion and the hand knife portion. The at least one supporting member is randomly selectively disposed in the first, second, and third accommodating portions as the user wish to enhance the improvement of golfing.
- The efficacy of the present invention lies in that, as for the wrist glove provided in the present invention, supporting members are disposed corresponding to the user's hand back, the palm center, and the hand knife part, so as to prevent the wrist from bending towards the direction of the hand back, the palm center, and the hand knife during sport or swinging, and to effectively maintain a certain stance of the wrist. In addition, in the glove of the present invention, three supporting members are disposed on the user's second metacarpal and on two sides of the second metacarpal, such that the palm may not over bend towards the direction of the thumb, and meanwhile, the glove of the present invention also enables the thumb to move freely. Furthermore, in the glove of the present invention, the kind and number of the supporting members can be replaced, increased, or reduced randomly selectively at any time according to the user's requirements, so as to offer the best conformable effect to the user. Therefore, the glove of the present invention makes the user unconsciously stabilize the wrist, restrict the wrist from over-turning, over-moving and over-bending, and has functions of protecting the wrist and rectifying the improper wrist bending stance. Furthermore, it can help a beginner to pick up the correct key point and stance more easily. Another objective of the present invention is that, after the user has mastered the correct habitual actions in each stance, all the supporting members can be taken out, and if no supporting members is installed therein, the wrist glove still has the function as a soft wrist-guard (because the wrist glove is usually made by, for example, fabrics of elastic material with flexible elasticity). Furthermore, the glove portion and the wrist-guard portion of the wrist glove can be separated into two parts, that is, a glove and a wrist-guard capable of being used respectively.

The supportingmember 31 c in thepocket 30 c on the right side exactly presses against muscles on the outer edge of the second metacarpal M2 (i.e., muscles between the first metacarpal M1 and the second metacarpal M2), which not only assists the supportingmember 31 b to support the whole palm and the wrist, but also restricts the second metacarpal M2 from bending towards the direction of the thumb, so as to achieve the effect of stabilizing the wrist, and to enable the thumb to still move freely. - Referring to
FIGS. 2A , 3A, and 3C, there are three modes for griping the golf club, namely, square grip, hook grip, and slice grip, in which the hook grip mode easily results in hook, and the slice grip mode easily results in slice. Usually, it is found that most top players have the habit of using the square grip mode. When the user wears thewrist glove 10, thepockets accommodating portion 30 sewed on the outer surface of theglove portion 11 enables the user to easily inspect whether the gripping level is the same as usual by eyes during each address, so as to perform adjustment. - Furthermore, referring to
FIGS. 2B , 5, and 6B, the secondaccommodating portion 40 of thewrist glove 10 is sewed on and crosses the surface of the wrist-guard portion 20 and thepalm center portion 131 of theglove portion 11, in which the “crossing” refers that the secondaccommodating portion 40 extends from the bottom end of thepalm center portion 131 of thepalm portion 13 to a position close to the cuff end 23 of the wrist-guard portion 20. The secondaccommodating portion 40 is required to have at least one pocket. However, it is mostly preferred to have three pockets. Therefore, in the embodiment provided by the present invention, the secondaccommodating portion 40 has at least three uniformly-arrangedparallel pockets openings guard portion 20 and close to a cuff end 23. A sealing andfastening assembly 43 is disposed on the cuff end 23 of the wrist-guard portion 20, ahook surface 43 a of the hook and loop fastening tape is sewed and adhered thereon, and aloop surface 43 b of the hook and loop fastening tape is further disposed on suitable position, such that thehook surface 43 a and theloop surface 43 b of the sealing andfastening assembly 43 are adhered and buckled with each other to cover and seal theopenings pocket members pocket 40 a should correspond to the pad portion of the palm center portion of the first metacarpal (thumb) of the palm, in which the pad portion is formed by abductor pollicis brevis of the hand. Thepocket 40 b should correspond to the center edge of the palm (close to the wrist). Thepocket 40 c should correspond to a fifth metacarpal M5 of the palm close to the wrist. When the user wears theglove 10, the supportingmembers members accommodating portion 40 must not affect the operations of the club. - Referring to
FIGS. 2B , 5, and 6B, the thirdaccommodating portion 50 of thewrist glove 10 is sewed on the surface of the wrist-guard portion 20 and thehand knife portion 133 for theglove portion 11, which extends from thecuff end 24 of the wrist-guard portion 20 to the center position of the fifth metacarpal M5 corresponding to the hand knife side. The thirdaccommodating portion 50 has apocket 50 a. Similarly, an end facing the finger is sealed, and anopening 52 is disposed on the wrist-guard portion 20 close to acuff end 24 of the wrist-guard portion 20. A sealing andfastening assembly 53 is disposed to seal theopening 52, the sealing and fastening assembly 53 (including ahook surface 53 a and aloop surface 53 b) and the sealing andfastening assembly 43 are prolonged to be connected as a whole.

FIG. 5 , thewrist glove 10 in the first embodiment of the present invention has a plurality of supportingmembers accommodating portions FIG. 5 , such that the palm and the wrist do not bend freely, and thus achieving a desirable effect of fixing the palm stance, and assisting the user to properly maintain the correct stance when he/she swings to hit the ball. - Referring to
FIGS. 6A to 6D , in thewrist glove 10 of the first embodiment of the present invention, the first, second, and thirdaccommodating portions members members members members pockets accommodating portion 30 arranged side by side, one supportingmember 41 is accommodated in the pocket of the secondaccommodating portion 40, and the other supportingmember 51 is accommodated in thepocket 50 a of the thirdaccommodating portion 50. However, in the most preferred embodiment of the present invention, seven supportingmembers members pockets accommodating portion 30 arranged side by side, another three supportingmembers parallel pockets accommodating portion 40, and the other supportingmember 51 is accommodated in thepocket 50 a of the thirdaccommodating portion 50. - In addition, the
wrist glove 10 of the present invention can also provide various supporting members of different thicknesses, and different thickness indicates different supporting power, such that the user can select the used supporting member with a specific thickness according to personal requirements. When the sealing andfastening assemblies members members FIGS. 6A and 6B , after wearing theglove 10, if the user feels any discomfort after twisting or bending the wrist or after using theglove 10 for a while, he/she can directly open the sealing andfastening assemblies - Referring to
FIGS. 7A and 7B , since the wrist is over-bent towards the direction of the hand knife, both hands gripping the club are unavoidably excessively far away from the body in the address stance, in this way, such a stance makes the body over lean forwards and makes the center of gravity be unstabilized, as shown by the dash-line part inFIG. 7B . Therefore, a certain proper distance must be maintained between both hands gripping the club and the body in the address stance as shown by the solid-line part inFIG. 7B , so as to make the swinging action be simplified. When a shorter club is used, a full swing stance is achieved, and when a long club is used, a flat swing stance is achieved. This is the basic principle for the swinging action (the short club requires the hitting direction to be accurate, without necessarily requiring the distance, and the full swing can enhance the direction performance). The supportingmember 51 of the thirdaccommodating portion 50 can exactly restrict the whole wrist from over-bending towards the direction of the hand knife side, and can remind the user of the address stance, in which the distance between both hands for griping the club and the body is fixed, regardless of the short or the long club. - Referring to
FIGS. 8A and 8B , the thumb can be moved freely without being affected, so the user can have the correct cook action (that is, when the user back swings to reach the top point, the wrist for guiding the club is properly bent towards the thumb direction). Additionally, due to the elastic restriction of the supportingmember 31 c of the firstaccommodating portion 30 and the supportingmember 51 of the thirdaccommodating portion 50, the over cook action that may cause the over back swing does not occur. The over back swing easily causes the body to lean forwards, the body to lose balance, and the club to droop, such that the club track accuracy in the down swing is affected, the power of the arms is wasted, and the hitting power is affected. - Then, referring to
FIGS. 9A and 9B , thewrist glove 10 in the second embodiment of the present invention is shown. In the second embodiment, thewrist glove 10 is similar to that of the first embodiment, which includes aglove portion 11, a wrist-guard portion 20, a firstaccommodating portion 30, a secondaccommodating portion 40, a thirdaccommodating portion 50, and a plurality of supportingmembers glove 10 of the second embodiment and that of the first embodiment of the present invention lies in that, in the second embodiment, the wrist-guard portion 20 is not fixed and connected to theglove portion 11. The wrist-guard portion 20 is connected to the bottom end of thepalm portion 13 for theglove portion 11 through using azipper 60, such that the wrist-guard portion 20 is connected to theglove portion 11 and divides the pockets of theaccommodating portions guard portion 20, and an opening is disposed close to the connecting position of thezipper 60, the other part is sewed and adhered on theglove portion 11, and an opening is disposed close to the connecting position of thezipper 60. When theglove portion 11 and the wrist-guard portion 20 are joined together through using thezipper 60, the supportingmembers guard portion 20, and can penetrate the other part of the pockets for theglove portion 11 in the same direction position through the opening. In this manner, besides the above functions, the wrist-guard portion 20 can be separated from theglove portion 11 according to the user's requirements, so as to become a single glove and a single wrist-guard capable of being used separately and being replaced or cleaned individually, etc. - The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
