SYSTEM FOR CHANGING THE SHAPE OR FIT OF A GLOVE

摘要

A glove is provided for enhancing the fit around a hand inserted therein. The glove has a fit adjusting mechanism (3) attached to one or more adjusting strips (4, 4b) via an adjusting cable (7) element which has a variable effective length. The adjusting strip or strips (4, 4b) extend substantially circumferentially around the base of the glove. As the adjusting mechanism (7) is turned, the effective length of the cable element is shortened thereby causing the closed loop of the strip and cable element to contract around the hand inserted in the glove. As a result, the fit of the glove around the hand is enhanced.
