GLOVE FOR A HOCKEY OR LACROSSE PLAYER

摘要

A hockey or lacrosse glove comprising a cuff and a hand receiving portion having a palm sheet, a dorsal sheet extending longitudinally from a proximal end located adjacent the distal end of the cuff to a distal end that is, in use, located generally above the proximal articulation of each finger, and four finger gussets, each finger gusset having a distal end for covering the distal end of the finger. The glove also has at least one protector extending to an end located generally above the distal end of the finger gusset and comprising a single pocket and a padding element contained in the single pocket, the padding element defining at least one flexion zone such that, in use, flexing of the player's hand or finger imparts movement of the padding element.

(a) a palm sheet for covering the palm of the player's hand; (b) a dorsal sheet for covering the dorsal side of the player's hand, the dorsal sheet extending longitudinally from a proximal end located adjacent the distal end of the cuff to a distal end that is, in use, located generally above the proximal articulation of each finger; (c) a thumb sheath for protecting the thumb of the player's hand; (d) four finger gussets for receiving the four fingers, each finger gusset having a distal end for covering the distal end of the finger; and (e) at least one protector comprising (i) a single pocket mounted to one of the four finger gussets and extending longitudinally from a first end proximate the distal end of the dorsal sheet to a second end located generally above the distal end of the finger gusset and (ii) a padding element contained in the single pocket, the padding element defining at least one flexion zone such that, in use, flexing of the player's finger imparts movement of the padding element.
