| 摘要 |
Glove for use in weightlifting or other activities in which an object is gripped. The glove has pads of moldable, malleable, substantially cohesive material on the palm and fingers that conforms to the contours of the object and a hand wearing the glove and retains its shape without hardening to provide a firm, solid grip between the hand and the object. The palm section and the finger stalls are fabricated of thin, flexible material, and the pads overlie fleshier parts of the palm and fingers, with gaps between the pads extending along joint lines of the palm and fingers and the elastic material in the gaps providing hinges which flex along the joint lines and allow adjacent ones of the pads to come together to form a substantially continuous gripping surface when the hand and glove are curled about the object. The malleable material in the pads on the finger stalls is enclosed in pockets having rolled upper edges, with front and rear panels which are formed continuously with the rolled edges and fastened together along side and bottom edges of the pockets. In some embodiments, the pads are attached directly to the body of the glove and to the finger stalls, and in others they are attached to an outer layer that overlies the palm section and further facilitates gripping of the object. |
