Abstract
An improved design for an open fingered glove is disclosed. The traditional mechanism of attachment of the palm piece to the back piece through the use of fourchettes is eliminated and, instead, the stability of the attachment of the glove parts is provided by a by the use of connector strips made from lycra, leather or other traditional materials. The connector strips connect the sides of each finger from the palm part to the back part at a location proximate the tip of each finger and running to a point short of the crotch of each finger. Using such a construction, structural integrity may be maintained while permitting an opening to exist at the crotch of each finger, thereby providing for increased cooling of the hand.

- and
- said improved open fingered glove further comprising connector means for connecting the fingers of said back piece to the fingers of said palm piece along at least one side of each finger and an outside of said crotch area leaving said crotch area open, said connector strips being located proximate to the tip of the finger to which it is attached and extending to a point outside the crotch area.
