Patent Application
20250221478
With traditional boxing gloves, it can be difficult to sustain a tight fist for every punch due to the excess material between the palm and fingers, which can lead to fatigue, reduced impact power over the course of a fight, in addition to, the risk of a potential fracture from a punch landing incorrectly. This makes all punching activities performed with standard gloves more dangerous for the fighter and although there have been style or fabric adaptations to gloves, the primary design has remained as is with this ever-present flaw. There have been no products available as original equipment or as an aftermarket to address this problem.
An apparatus which protects hands when boxing, from fatigue and fractures while also increasing the impact power of a punch, is not being met by any known device or system at present. There have been no products available as original equipment or as an aftermarket to address this problem either.
The main purpose the Open-Interior Boxing Glove is to enhance the functionality of traditional boxing gloves, permitting the wearer to maintain a tighter fist when boxing. A boxing glove including a glove body configured to receive a fist and
an overlain thumb of a user and comprise a dorsal aspect, a knuckles adjacent portion and an underside webbing configured to define a cavity comprising a singular volume. The boxing glove also includes a fingers strap attached to an underside of the knuckles adjacent portion inside the cavity configured to receive the user's fingers. The boxing glove further includes a cuff portion comprising an enlarging slit and an adjustable and secure fastening around the user's wrist.
Throughout the description, similar reference numbers may be used to identify similar elements depicted in multiple embodiments. Although specific embodiments of the invention have been described and illustrated, the invention is not to be limited to the specific forms or arrangements of parts so described and illustrated. The scope of the invention is to be defined by the claims appended hereto and their equivalents.
Reference will now be made to exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used herein to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the disclosure is thereby intended. Alterations and further modifications of the inventive features illustrated herein and additional applications of the principles of the inventions as illustrated herein, which would occur to one skilled in the relevant art and having possession of this disclosure, are to be considered within the scope of the invention.
The term ‘dorsal aspect’ used throughout the disclosure refers to the backside of the hand. The term term ‘overlain thumb’ used throughout the disclosure refers to a thumb immediately on a fist or a fisted thumb where the thumb is part of the fist as opposed out and in its own pocket.
The present disclosed Open-Interior Boxing Glove, offers a modern alternative boxing protective gear that is not only safer to wear but allows for the execution of stronger punches when sparring. The disclosed Glove introduces a unique structure that sends the impact of the blow directly to the knuckles, the strongest part of the hand, while eliminating extra foaming materials, typical of standard gloves, allowing the boxer to close their fist as tight as possible. The improved glove comprises of the same materials, leather from cowhide or goat hide, synthetic foam; yet, does not contain the bar padding feature nor the thumb pocket. To prepare for engagement, a person would simply make a fist then just push their hand into the glove and secure the wrist guard via either a hook and loop strap or lace binding for tightening. This innovative, top-quality product may benefit all boxers who seek to increase their punching power and performance while also prioritizing safety and injury prevention.
