20090106875 | GOALTENDER'S BLOCKER WITH TRAVERSING GLOVE - A goaltender's blocker has a blocking pad resiliently attached to a goaltender's stick-hand glove, such that the glove is movable from a neutral or unstressed position toward to a displaced position nearer the lower end of the blocking pad. The blocker incorporates biasing means tending to return the glove to the neutral position. This construction allows the glove to traverse downward relative to the blocking pad when the blocking pad is pressed against a playing surface such as an ice hockey rink, thus making it easier for a goaltender to perform the paddle-down manoeuvre or to pick up a dropped hockey stick in a comfortable, economically correct, and technically sound manner. | 04-30-2009 |
