Restraint mitt

Abstract

A thumbless mitt 10 for receiving a hand 2 has a cloth outer shell cover 12, a cloth inner liner 14 and a non-pliable palm center 20 interposed between the inner liner 14 and the outer shell cover 12 on a palm facing portion 18 of the mitt 10. The cloth inner liner 14 defines an inner chamber 19 into which the entire hand 2 is inserted. The non-pliable palm center 20 extends from the palm location to adjacent and along the fingers location, preferably centered on the palm side 18 of the mitt 10 and having a width sufficient to block at least two middle fingers from bending in a grasping position beyond the palm center 20. Two pairs of straps 30 and 40 are strategically located to prevent removal and or rotation of the hand 2inside the mitt 10.
