DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS
Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described herein below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a golf glove with an anti-slip pad according to the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, a golf glove with an anti-slip pad comprises at least one palm extending pad 14a, 14b formed from one boundary of a palm to an index finger; and a finger pad 15a, 15b, 15c formed on at least one finger F1 to F5, wherein the least one palm extending pad 14a, 14b or the finger pad 15a, 15b, 15c has a friction coefficient different from the other part of the glove. The golf glove may have a shape suitable for wearing in hand, and may have an identical with or similar to a shape of a hand. In this specification, a name used for a hand will be applied to each part name of the golf glove. For example, fingers F1 to F5 may refer to portions where fingers of a hand are inserted, and the glove body 11 may refer to a portion covering a palm and a back of a hand. The names of the other parts may be used in the same way.
The left part (a) and the right part (b) of FIG. 1 show an embodiment of a palm and a back of a hand of the glove body 11, respectively, and a slip restricting area 12 may be formed at one part of the palm. The slip restricting area 12 may extend from a boundary line of the palm located on an opposite side of a thumb F1 to a portion connecting the thumb F1 and an index finger F2. The slip restricting area 12 may be separated from the other part by a separating boundary line formed on the palm, and a slipping phenomenon may occur partially, or the slip may be restricted by the separating boundary line. A palm extending pad 14a, 14b may be formed on the slip restricting area 12. The palm extending pad 14a, 14b may become a shape extending from one boundary of the palm to the thumb F1 or the index finger F2. For example, two palm extending pads 14a, 14b may be formed, and each palm extending pad 14a, 14b may extend linearly with a constant width. And the second palm extending pad 14b adjacent to a wrist may extend longer than the first palm extending pad 14a adjacent to the fingers F1 to F5, and two palm extending pads 14a, 14b may extend side by side in general. A separating distance between two palm extending pads 14a, 14b may correspond to a diameter of a golf club or become larger than the diameter of the golf club approximately. When the golf club is gripped for swinging, the golf club may be located between two palm extending pads 14a, 14b. The palm extending pads 14a, 14b may have various shapes in various numbers, but not limited to. The finger pads 15a, 15b, 15c may be formed on at least one finger F1 to F5, and, for example, the finger pads 15a, 15b, 15c may be formed on the middle finger F3, the ring finger F4 and the little finger F5. For example, the finger pad 15a, 15b, 15c may be formed on a portion corresponding to each second knuckle of each finger F3, F4, F5, and have a shape extending in tilting direction along a width of each finger F3, F4, F5. The direction of the finger pad 15a, 15b, 15c may be similar to that of the palm extending pad 14a, 14b. Such extending direction of the palm extending pad 14a, 14b or the finger pad 15a, 15b, 15c may be determined based on a portion contacting the palm or the fingers on gripping the golf club. In this way, the finger pads 15a, 15b, 15c formed on the middle finger F3, the ring finger F4 and the little finger F5 may become various shapes, but not limited to. And also, separating pads 16a to 16k may be formed on the fingers F1 to F5. The separating pads 16a to 16k may be formed on side parts of the fingers F2, F3, F4, F5, and for example, the separating pads 16a to 16k may be formed one side of the index finger F2, both sides of the middle finger F3 and the ring finger F4, and one side of the little finger F5. The separating pad 16a to 16k may be formed on a part where two fingers contact, and the separating pad 16a to 16 may extend from a starting part of each finger F2 to F5 to the second knuckle of each finger or an adjacent portion of the second knuckle. The separating pad 16a to 16k may separate adjacent two fingers and prevent the fingers from being slipped.
