Anti-slip glove

Abstract

An improved design for an anti-slip glove is disclosed. The surface of the glove is adapted to provide an especially strong bond between the palm and/or fingers of the glove and the club, racket or other piece of sports equipment which the athlete is holding, pulling or pushing. The improved anti-slip glove utilizes a thermoplastic polyurethane film panel, incorporated into the glove's design at key pressure points, which is selected to exhibit a strong physical bond with the rubber, plastic, leather or other composite materials used to manufacture the hand grips that are a part of hand-held sporting equipment. The anti-slip panel may be attached separately to the palm and fingers of the glove or made an integral part of the glove. When made an integral part of the glove's design and manufacture, the improved anti-slip glove may also incorporate a non-slip backing material positioned between the wearers hand and the rear surface of the thermoplastic polyurethane film panel, to provide a tight coupling between the surface of the wearers hand and the body of the glove to reduce slippage of the hand within the glove.
