Abstract
Disclosed is a grip that includes a material having a wrist end, a finger end, and sides that extend from the wrist end to the finger end. The wrist end of the material has a concave shape that (i) is between the sides of the protective material and (ii) defines at least two legs on opposite sides of an apex of the concave shape. A thumb guard is defined on a first side of the sides of the material. A wrist strap is attached to a leg of the wrist end.
Claims14
A hand protector, comprising:
- a protective material including:
- a bottom edge defining a wrist end, wherein the bottom edge has a concave shape;
- a top edge;
- a first vertex of a first concave arc located on a first side of the protective material;
- a second vertex of a second concave arc located on a second side of the protective material;
- a first leg defined by a perimeter of the hand protector that is located between the first vertex and a third vertex of the bottom edge;
- a second leg defined by the perimeter of the hand protector that is located between the second vertex and the third vertex of the bottom edge;
- wherein:
- a first angle of the first concave arc defined by a first axis and a second axis is ninety degrees or less;
- the first axis passes through the first vertex and is tangential to a first edge of the first side of the protective material between the first vertex and the top edge;
- the second axis passes through the first vertex and is tangential to a first portion of the first leg located between the first vertex and the bottom edge;
- a second angle of the second concave arc defined by a third axis and a fourth axis is larger than the first angle;
- the third axis passes through the second vertex and is tangential to a second edge of the second side of the protective material between the second vertex and the top edge;
- the fourth axis passes through the second vertex and is tangential to a second portion of the second leg that is between the second vertex and the bottom edge.
