| 20120017349 | Molded Grip Glove - Glove for use in weightlifting or other activities in which an object is gripped. The glove has pads of moldable, malleable, substantially cohesive material on the palm and fingers that conforms to the contours of the object and a hand wearing the glove and retains its shape without hardening to provide a firm, solid grip between the hand and the object. The palm section and the finger stalls are fabricated of thin, flexible material, and the pads overlie fleshier parts of the palm and fingers, with gaps between the pads extending along joint lines of the palm and fingers and the elastic material in the gaps providing hinges which flex along the joint lines and allow adjacent ones of the pads to come together to form a substantially continuous gripping surface when the hand and glove are curled about the object. The malleable material in the pads on the finger stalls is enclosed in pockets having rolled upper edges, with front and rear panels which are formed continuously with the rolled edges and fastened together along side and bottom edges of the pockets. In some embodiments, the pads are attached directly to the body of the glove and to the finger stalls, and in others they are attached to an outer layer that overlies the palm section and further facilitates gripping of the object. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20120017350 | Overlapping Palm Glove - A glove for gripping an object having an inner glove with a lower palm section of relatively non-stretchable material and an upper palm section of relatively stretchable material that overlie the palm side of the hand of person wearing the glove, a back section that overlies the back of the hand, and stalls for receiving the fingers and thumb. An outer panel overlies substantially the entire palm section and is attached to the inner glove along the upper margin of the outer panel and partially or wholly detached from the inner glove along at least one side of the outer panel. The lower margin of the outer panel is also attached to the inner glove in some embodiments, and in others it is secured to the wrist separately from the inner glove. In some disclosed embodiments, the outer panel is fabricated of elastic material that draws the hand toward a closed position for gripping the object. In others, it is fabricated of a relatively non-stretchable material that is attached at one end to the base portion of the palm section and extends beyond the finger stalls, with a distal end portion of the panel being rolled back and attached to the front sides of the stalls so that it can flatten out and extend farther up the fingers when the hand is curled about the object. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20120017351 | Pulled Palm Glove - Glove for gripping an object having a palm section that overlies the palm side of the hand, a back section that overlies the back of the hand, stalls for receiving the fingers and thumb, and a tab extending from the lower margin of the palm section which can be pulled in a downward direction to tension the palm section, and means for holding the tab in a pulled position to maintain tension in the palm section. | 01-26-2012 |
