The invention also discloses a tapering of the padding.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a boxing glove, particularly the glove suitable for weight lifting or other purposes.

BACKGROUND

Boxing gloves are cushioned gloves that fighters wear on their hands during boxing matches and practices. Unlike “fist-load weapons” (such as the ancient cestus) which were designed as a lethal weapon, modern boxing gloves are non-lethal, designed to protect both the opponent's head and the fighter's hand during a bout. Sparring and other forms of boxing training have specialized gloves. Whereas most of the weightlifting and boxing gloves are fingerless gloves worn by weightlifters and cover the entire hand of the fighter, except fingers. Thus, the present invention relates to effectively applying gloves to cover and protect fingers simultaneously.

Further, the present invention relates to gloves applicable for use in both boxing and weight lifting for a common workout session as the change creates a problem as boxing gloves are generally not suited to lifting weights. While the prior art discloses many different types of gloves, so far as is known, none of these assemblies resolve problems in a simple, effective, and effectively.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In one of the embodiments, the present invention relates to multi-usage gloves suitable for multiple sports, covering and protecting fingers completely. Further, the glove is configured to be used in mixed martial arts, weightlifting contexts, and a hybrid of similar or other events.

In one of the embodiments, the present invention relates to gloves applicable for use in multiple sports during a common workout session to overcome the changing of gloves for switching workouts.

The present invention's gloves protect the knuckles for a punching session while allowing enough gripping and flexibility on the palms of the hands and the fingers to allow for a weight-lifting session, with the thinning of padding towards the fingers.

One of the embodiments of the present invention relates to gloves compatible with sports comprising lifting weights and boxing. Thus, the gloves of the present invention allow a person to switch workouts between boxing and weight lifting and are applicable for boxing to hit the punching bag and to lift weights. Further, the present invention relates to gloves applicable for use in boxing and weight lifting during a common workout session to overcome the changing of gloves during switching workouts.

Additionally, in one of the embodiments, the present invention relates to a boxing glove protecting the hand of the user and the opponent receiving a blow simultaneously, as the glove covers the hand and fingers of the user reducing the impact of the threshold. Further, the present invention relates to disclosing a boxing glove for ease of wearing and usage.

One of the embodiments of the present invention relates to gloves comprising of:

• • i. holes between fingers at the palm, extending to the fingers, which does not interfere with the punching part of the glove but allows a gripping part to lift weights.
  • ii. covering of entire fingers to reduce the threshold on the hand of the puncher and part of the body of the opponent.
  • iii. a tapering of the cushion such that the padding is thickest at the front of the glove where the most curved part of the glove is.
  • iv. variation of the thickness of the front of the boxing glove, for protection.

The gloves of the present invention can be made with different padding thicknesses and materials, including a variable thickness, with tapering and allow for better training and also allow the user/person to grab a weight, a bottle of water, or even use a cell phone while wearing boxing gloves.

Further areas of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description provided hereinafter. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples while indicating the preferred embodiment of the invention, are intended for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

Embodiments are provided to thoroughly and fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to the person skilled in the art. Numerous details are set forth, relating to specific components, and methods, to provide a complete understanding of embodiments of the present disclosure. It will be apparent to the person skilled in the art that the details provided in the embodiments should not be construed to limit the scope of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, well-known processes, apparatus structures, and techniques are not described in detail.

The terminology used, in the present disclosure, is only to explain a particular embodiment and such terminology shall not be considered to limit the scope of the present disclosure. As used in the present disclosure, the forms “a,” “an,” and “the” may be intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context suggests otherwise. The terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “including,” and “having,” are open-ended transitional phrases and therefore specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, modules, units, and components, but do not forbid the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and groups thereof.

The following are the definitions of the parts described supporting the invention aspects, and the terms included are descriptions of the invention:

• • 1. The palm (or of the glove): This has the same meaning as the ordinary dictionary meaning of it. It is also the side of the hand onto which the fingers close during the process of closing one's hand. The concept of palm is used here for both a human hand and for the glove of our invention or other gloves.
  • 2. The dorsal side of the glove (or of the hand): This is the side of the glove, or of the hand, that is on the opposite side to the palm side of the hand and of the glove. It is also the side where the knuckles are, and the side where the nails on the fingers are. Likewise, for the palm, the concept of the dorsal side is used here for both a human hand and for the glove of our invention or other gloves. The dorsal side of the wearable glove can be conceptually divided into three sub-parts: the front, the back, and the middle or center parts. The front side, which is toward the front side of the wearable glove, is the side where the nails are, the back side, which is the side near the wrist of the user, and the middle, or center side, is the part of the dorsal side in-between the front and the back sides.
  • 3. The inner side of the hand: This is the width of the hand, a strip running from the finger to the wrist, between the palm and the dorsal side of the hand (or the glove), on the side of the thumb.
  • 4. The outer side of the hand (or the glove): This is the width of the hand, a strip running from the finger to the wrist, between the palm and the dorsal side of the hand (or the glove), on the side of the small finger.
  • 5. The front of the hand: This is the part of the hand where the fingers start.
  • 6. The back of the hand: This is the part of the hand where it attaches to the wrist.
  • 7. Finger straps and holes: The wearable glove of our invention uses a plurality of finger holes to keep the punching part attached to the hand. These finger holes are orifices into which one or more fingers enter, which then keeps the outer part of the glove secured on the hand of the user. The holes may be created, among other methods, with a support strap that may run across the palm of the glove, or from the outer part towards the inner part of the glove, on the palm side of the glove, which support strap is sewn onto the palm of the glove. The stitches on either side of the finger holes may be single or double, or more stitch lines, which separate each finger hole from each other. The finger holes are approximately evenly spaced holes, separated from each other by the seam sewn on the palm of the glove. As the reader can see, the support strap creates a plurality of finger holes between the support strap and the palm of the glove. Moreover, the plurality of finger holes that are created by the support strap sewn onto the palm of the glove, extends from the inner side of the glove to the outer side of the wearable glove. This support strap is attached at the palm side, to receive fingers while creating the finger holes. Each finger hole is separated from one another by a seam sewn onto the palm of the wearable glove, as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, among others. These finger holes are spaced holes that are separated by a seam sewn onto the palm of the wearable love. The position of the holes is important for the glove of our invention because it determines the comfort for the wearer, the protection for the punched person, and the correct position of the glove on the hand of the wearer. The support strap is such that, along the direction from the front of the wearable glove to the back of the wearable glove, the first, second, and third finger holes are located from zero to 2 inches away from the midpoint of the palm of the wearable glove, either toward the front or toward the back of the wearable glove. The variation is necessary to accommodate different hand sizes and proportions. For example, the hands of male humans normally have different proportions, or different relative sizes, between the finger length, the palm width, the palm length, etc., when compared with the hands of female humans. For example, the distance of the fourth finger hole to the front of the wearable glove is from 0.1 to 2 inches farther away from the front of the wearable glove than the average distance from the first, second, and third finger holes to the front of the wearable glove, the variation, from 0.1 to 2.0 being the size difference that, as per the inventor's measurements accommodate the majority of hands, in size and proportions. Likewise, the length of the fourth finger hole (small finger), along the direction running from the front of the glove to the back of the glove is from 10% to 50% smaller than the average length of the first, second, and third finger hole along the direction running from the front of the glove to the back of the glove. Further variations may be necessary and included in this invention, this range being the range that the inventor has measured with a limited number of gym users. The finger holes may have adaptations to best fit the hand of the user. One example of such adaptation is that the first (pointer), the second (middle), and third (annular) finger holes are made by sewing a strap perpendicular to the finger holes and running from the outer to the inner edges of the wearing glove of our invention. Such strap(s) are sewn onto the palm side of the wearable glove of our invention somewhere between the front of the wearable glove and the back of the wearable glove, perhaps approximately at the center of the palm. The fourth, or small finger, on the other hand, should be positioned closer to the front of the wearable glove, than the distances from the front to the first (pointer), second (middle) and third (annular) finger holes, along the direction running from the front of the glove to the back of the glove. This shorter distance is from 5% to 90% of the average distance from the front of the glove to first, second or third finger holes, or even less, from 10% to 50% less, or even less, from 20% to 40% less, than the average distances from the front of the glove to the first, second or third finger holes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF FIGURES

The present invention relates to multi-usage gloves suitable for multiple sports, covering and protecting fingers completely. Further, the glove is configured to be used in mixed martial arts, weightlifting contexts, and a hybrid of similar or other events.

Embodiments of the invention provide a solution to the above problem and achieve the above object by providing a new boxing glove that is compatible with lifting weights while wearing the gloves. Thus, the gloves of the present invention allow a person working out to keep on the boxing gloves to both hit the punching bag and to lift weights.

The present invention will be further described concerning the following examples for facilitating the understanding of those skilled in the art, and the description of the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention. One of the embodiments of the present invention relates to multi-usage gloves with a detailed explanation of functional parts, with a list of figures below:

FIG. 1 illustrates a dorsal side view of wearable glove with an open strap for attachment of the glove to the hand of the user. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the dorsal side of a glove body of a wearable glove ‘100’ can be made with different padding thicknesses and material. Further, glove ‘100’ includes a wrist opening ‘104’ located at the proximal side of the glove body, thereby allowing the user to insert the hand therein the wearable glove ‘100’. Additionally, the wearable glove ‘100’ further includes a wrist strap ‘106’ located at the proximal side of the glove body, thereby providing a means for the wearable glove to be tightened thereto the wrist of the user. The wrist strap ‘106’ of the wearable glove can be fixed or tightened using Velcro and other fastening means and the dorsal side ‘102’ comprises a solid flexible material integrally positioned within the dorsal side to operate as a punching surface while boxing.

In another possible embodiment, a wearable glove ‘100’ adapted to be used for boxing and weight lifting is provided. The wearable glove ‘100’ includes a dorsal side ‘102’, a palm side opposite the dorsal side ‘102’, and a plurality of finger portions 108 adapted to secure at least one finger of the hand. In this embodiment, the palm comprises a cavity that assists the user in lifting weight while weight lifting, and the dorsal side enables the user to punch while boxing. In still another embodiment the cavity may be covered with a removable cover, which is attached to the wearable glove by buttons, by a zipper, or by any other means in use, for example, to adjust pieces of clothing on the body, as to close the front of a shirt, and similar procedures.

FIG. 2 illustrates a right-side view of a wearable glove, displaying the thickness at three points on the glove. As illustrated, FIG. 2 displays a right-side view of the glove of our invention with the front curved part ‘121’, the marked middle or center part of glove ‘122’, and the wrist part of glove ‘123’. The thickness of each of these parts of the glove is also marked, as ‘121t’, which is the thickness at position ‘121’, or the front, ‘122t’, which is the thickness at position ‘122’, or the middle or center position, and ‘123t’, which is the thickness at the position ‘123’, which corresponds to the wrist of the user.

FIG. 3 is another view of the glove from the palm side with some elements labeled, as ‘112’ is the palm, ‘108’ is the general label for the straps that receive the fingers, then ‘108a’, ‘108b’, ‘108c’, and ‘108d’ are the straps to receive the pointing finger ‘108a’, the middle finger ‘108b’, then the annular finger ‘108c’ then the small finger ‘108d’. The gloves of the present invention allow for better training and also allow the user/person to grab a weight, adjust one's clothing, or even grab a key and/or open a door while wearing the boxing gloves, which is not possible with a standard boxing glove.

Accordingly, an embodiment of the present invention relates to a wearable glove 100 adapted to be used for boxing and weight lifting. The wearable glove ‘100’ includes a glove body for covering a hand, comprising a dorsal side ‘102’, a palm side ‘112’ opposite to the dorsal side ‘102’, and a plurality of finger portions ‘108’ adapted to secure at least one finger of a hand of a user. The finger portions ‘108’ are created by a supporting strap, or simply a strap, sewn onto the palm of the glove. This support strap is such that, along the direction from the front of the wearable glove to the back of the wearable glove, the first ‘108a’, second, ‘108b’, and third ‘108c’ finger holes are located away from the center of the distance along the front to the back of the wearable glove, from zero to two in on one or the other direction, that is, toward the front of the wearable glove or to the back of the wearable glove.

The fourth finger portion ‘108d’, is displaced from the first three fingers' portions, not aligned with the first, second, and third finger portions. The distance of the fourth finger hole, or finger portion, ‘108d’, to the front of the wearable glove is from 0.1 to 2 inches farther away from the front of the wearable glove than the average distance from the first, second, and third finger holes to the front of the wearable glove.

Also, the length of the fourth finger hole ‘108d’, along the direction running from the front of the glove to the back of the glove is from 10% to 50% smaller than the average length of the first, second, and third finger hole along the direction running from the front of the glove to the back of the glove, though these numerical values of 10% to 50% are just recommendations, larger than 50% and smaller than 10% differences being also possible within the scope of the invention.

In another embodiment, the glove, at the palm ‘112’ consists of a thin layer or material such as but not limited to a thin leather, a thin cloth, a thin canvas, etc. Variations of the embodiment include a medium thickness layer and even a thick thickness layer, instead of a thin layer, such variations being included in our invention, to adapt for variations of use.

In another embodiment, the glove consists of a detachable inner padding, at the palm ‘112’, which, if left on, would give the wearer the old feeling of a traditional boxing glove, while, if taken out, would give the new feeling and possibility of lifting weights, picking up a cell phone, etc.

One example of the intended use of our invention is for people that are working out to keep the boxing glove on his/her hands while changing from punching a bag to lifting weights. The gloves of the present invention are configured to use a cushion on the knuckles for a punching session while allowing enough gripping and flexibility on the palm ‘112’ of the hands and the fingers to allow for a weight-lifting session. Further, an area on the palm ‘112’ sides opposite to the dorsal side ‘102’ and between the wrist strap ‘106’ and the plurality of finger portions ‘108’ comprises a cavity that assists the user in lifting weight while weight lifting. In one embodiment, each of the plurality of finger portions ‘108’ is at least partially elongated and extends outwardly from a distal end of the glove body.

In another embodiment, at least a few of the plurality of finger portions ‘108’ are at least partially elongated and extend outwardly from a distal end of the glove body.

In another embodiment, each of the plurality of finger portions ‘108’ at least partially extends outwardly from the dorsal side towards the palm side.

In another embodiment, each of the plurality of finger portions ‘108’ comprises an aperture ‘110’ located at a distal end, wherein the apertures allow each finger of the user to protrude through.

In another possible embodiment, the solid flexible material is selected at last from a foam material or a non-foam material, and the solid flexible material comprises a single flexible solid weight or a plurality of solid weights.

In one of the embodiments the padding is explained in detailed, as punching part of the wearable glove of our invention may include a padding. The padding should be positioned between the outer layer of the dorsal side and the inner layer of the palm side. Typically, the padding of the wearable glove is thicker on the middle ‘122’ of the dorsal side of the wearable glove than it is near each of the endings, the front side and the back side or the wrist portion of the wearable glove. Furthermore, the padding tappers at the outside of the wearable glove, starting from the front side to the middle and continuing to the back side of the wearable glove, while the padding is the thickest at the middle ‘122’ of the gloves, where the padding has a thickness ‘122t’, which is a larger numerical value than the thickness at the front ‘121t’ and wrist ‘123t’ parts of the wearable glove of our invention. The padding of the wearable glove of our invention may be made in a pre-shaped shape or form, such that the curvature of the preformed padding of the wearable glove determines the curvature of the wearable glove. Therefore, the curvature of the wearable glove follows the curvature of the preformed padding. This preformed padding allows the wearable glove to extend farther around and toward the palm side of the wearable glove. The curvature of the preformed padding is variable, depending on the particular size, shape, and relative dimensions of the hand of the wearer, varying from 10 degrees to 180 degrees. The thickness of the padding changes, it being thicker at the center ‘122’, with a thickness 122t, and smaller thickness at or near the front of the glove, ‘121’, with thickness 121t, and at the back, near the wrist of the glove, at ‘123’, with thickness ‘123t’. Typically, the changes in thickness, from front to middle, where it is maximum thickness, then to back, near the wrist, is from 5% to 90%, but this is only a suggestion that accommodates the measurements taken by the inventor on a limited set of boxers, with a limited size and variation of hands. Larger and smaller variations are contemplated to be possible, still within the scope of the invention. It is important the taper of the padding at the outside of the wearable glove, because it contributes for the functioning of the glove for its intended purposes. The padding of the glove tapers at the outside of the wearable glove, starting from the front side to the middle and continuing to the back side of the wearable glove, with the padding being the thickest at the front of the glove, and the most curved part of the wearable glove is at the dorsal side of the wearable glove near the front of the wearable glove. The angle of curvature of the wearable glove of our invention has an impact on both the protection of the wearer of the glove and its performance. Typically, the wearable glove may have an angle of curvature between 10 and 180 degrees. while most of the cases have a curvature between 135 and 150 degrees.

In one of the embodiments the padding is explained in detailed, Cavity:

The palm 112 of the glove may have a cavity that exposes the palm, to allow for more gripping and friction, to make it possible to grab weights, for weight-lifting, or even to just hold a cell phone or a beer can or a glass of wine, at the choice of the wearer of the glove. The cavity may be fitted with devices, such as buttons, velcro, or their equivalents, to hold a removable cover for the cavity at the palm. Such a removable cover would allow the user to have the feeling of a traditional glove while punching, while having the hole exposed, with the consequent increased friction, to hold weights or a cell phone, a bear can, or a glass of wine, as the user decides to do, or even a pencil and paper, if the wearer is old enough to know how to use them.

The following is a detailed description of embodiments of the disclosure depicted in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments are in such detail as to communicate the disclosure. However, the amount of detail offered is not intended to limit the anticipated variations of embodiments; on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.

FIG. 4 illustrates a sectional part of the palm side of the glove body of the wearable glove. To elaborate further, from the wrist towards the fingers, the gloves of the present invention are similar to a standard boxing glove, the difference being that the boxing gloves of our invention are made with a hole at the palm ‘112’ of the hand, extending to the fingers, which does not interfere with the punching part of the glove but allows a gripping part to lift weights.

FIG. 5 illustrates a left side view of the glove body of the wearable glove.

The reader can see the front side ‘120’ (partly unseen), and the edge ‘121’ of the glove.

FIG. 6 illustrates a front view covering the palm with a glove and an X-ray of the palm. The distal phalange bone ‘610’, or end of the finger, where the nail, ‘620’ is the intermediate phalange bone, and ‘630’ is the proximal phalange bone, near the main part of the hand.

In another embodiment, there is a tapering of the padding, which improves the protection for both the hand of the glove user and the body part of the opponent. The padding of the glove is a layer that is positioned between the covering of the glove and the palm material of the glove. The padding is substantially positioned in front of the wearable glove. The thickness of padding tappers on the dorsal side, from the front of the glove where the padding is thicker, toward the back side of the wearable glove. The padding also takes from the dorsal side of the wearable glove along both the inner and outer sides of the wearable glove. The padding is thickest at the front of the glove where the most curved part of the glove is. The padding ends at the wrist strap, or the back side of the wearable glove, on the dorsal side, and at the opposite end of the outside of the glove where the glove curves around toward the palm of the glove. The padding may be constructed with one or more layers, perhaps from a foam material covering the glove. The padding is positioned in layers and may have a covering layer for protection. There are 3 distinct layers in this glove. The top layer on the dorsal side of the glove starts from the opening of the glove at the wrist strap and extends to the front end of the glove. This top layer sits above the internal layer which is the padding made of foam or any other similar material that provides shock absorption upon impact. This internal layer sits above the palm side layer. This is the layer where the finger holes are attached and is at the opposite side of the top layer. The palm side layer and the dorsal side layer are attached at the edges with the padding layer enclosed between the two layers.

Another feature of our invention is the curvature of the padding. The curvature of padding is a preformed shape. The curvature of the preformed padding forms a preformed shape, and the curvature of the glove follows that preformed shape. This curvature allows the glove to extend farther around toward the palm side of the glove. For the preferred embodiment, the angle of the curvature is between 135 and 150 degrees, but other values are possible, as it is obvious to persons with knowledge of the art of boxing gloves. For example, curvature between 120 and 170 degrees, or between 100 and 180 degrees, and other variations, this preferred embodiment between 135 and 150 degrees being just an example, not a limitation of our invention.

Another feature of our invention is the placement of the finger holes of our invention. Finger holes are created by a support strap sewn onto the inside of the glove. This strap has lateral plurality where the strap extends from the first lateral to the last lateral attached at the palm to receive fingers. with evenly spaced holes that are separated by a seam sewn onto the palm of the glove. The placement of the support strap for the first 3 finger holes is at the most curved part of the inside of the glove whereas on the opposite side of the glove, the outside of the glove has the thickest padding. The fourth finger hole is placed slightly farther away from the end of the glove than the other finger holes. This displacement of the fourth finger hole is approximately 0.5 inches. The fourth finger hole is also slightly thinner vertically than the other finger holes. The difference in measurement of the fourth finger hole in comparison to the other finger holes is approximately 0.25 inches. These numerical values are given as examples only, not to limit the invention. For example, the displacement of the fourth finger can perfectly be larger, as 0.6, 0.7, 0.9, 1.0 inch, or smaller, as 0.4, 0.3, 0.2 inch, etc, without changing the nature of our invention. Also, the difference in measurement of the fourth finger hole in comparison to the other finger holes can be smaller than 0.25inches or larger than 0.25 inches. For examples, 0.2 inches, or 0.15 inches or smaller are also possible still within the scope of the invention, also larger differences, as 0.3, or 0.35, or 0.4, or 0.5 inches and even larger are also within the scope of our invention, the value given is only a possible numerical example, not to limit the scope of the invention.

An alternative location and attachment of the finger holes of the glove of our invention is as follows. Finger holes are created by a support strap sewn onto the palm of the glove. This strap has lateral plurality where the strap extends from the inner side of the glove to the outer side of the glove attached at the palm to receive fingers, with approximately evenly spaced holes that are separated by a seam sewn onto the palm of the glove. The placement of the support straps for the first, second, and third holes is at the midpoint of the palm along a direction running from the front of the glove to the back of the glove, or which is the same, from the fingers to the wrist, at the palm of the glove, between the front of the glove and back of the glove. The placement of the strap will be at the thickest padding portion of the glove.

The fourth finger hole is placed farther away from the front of the glove and towards the back of the glove, or, which is the same, the fourth finger hole is placed farther away from the finger of the glove and towards the wrist of the glove, than the first, second and third finger holes. A typical value for this extra displacement of the fourth finger hole as compared with the first, second, and third finger holes is approximately 0.5 inches. This value of 0.5 inches is a typical value, not to limit the scope of our invention, larger and smaller values being still on the scope of our invention. The fourth finger hole is also thinner along the direction from the front of the glove to the back of the glove, or, which is the same, along the direction from the finger to the wrist, than the first, second, and third finger holes. The difference in measurement of the fourth finger hole in comparison to the first, second, and third finger holes is approximately 0.25 inches. This numerical value of 0.25 inches is an exemplary value, not to limit the scope of our invention, larger differences and smaller differences being still within the scope of our invention. The numerical examples are representative of typical values but vary according to the size of the hand of the user, and even to the general shape and relative dimensions of the hand of the user. Not all hands are of the same size (dimension) and not all hands are characterized by the same relative dimensions, as much as the absolute length of the nose and the absolute width of the mouth vary from person to person, as well as the relative dimensions of the length of the nose and the width of the mouth vary from person-to-person, etc., variations that must be taken into account, all being still protected by our invention.

Although the present invention herein has been described concerning particular preferred embodiments thereof it is to be understood that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and applications of the invention. Therefore, modifications may be made to these embodiments and other arrangements may be devised without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, which is defined by the appended claims.
