Abstract
An improved glove and method of making same whereby the palm portion has only one continuous seam reconnecting the palmar area after its reduction in dimensions to eliminate wrinkling or bunching thereat as well as connecting the unconnected side between the front and back faces. A close smoother fit of the hand at the palm area is obtained in the crease or fold line areas of the wearer's palm where an overlapped seam is created as manufactured or in modified gloves for improved gripping. In addition, one continuous seam makes assembly of the glove both easier and faster.
Claims16
An improved glove for enhancing feel and gripping action of a user's hand on an item to be grasped comprising:
- a substantially single layer pliable material that is continuously seamed comprising a palmar surface of a reduced area, a thumb area, an index finger area, a side area and a wrist area;
- and
- a continuous seam extending across the palmar surface of a reduced palmar area to a position intermediate said thumb area and said index finger area and continuously therefrom along said side area to said wrist area.
A method of improving a conventional glove to enhance feel and gripping action of the hand on the golf club while also providing a design capable of easier and improved manufacture, comprising the steps of:
- severing an area of a palmar facing surface on a glove in a curvilinear pattern substantially parallel to a wearer's palmar fold lines;
- overlapping said severed area of said palmar surface of said glove in a long flat configuration;
- forming a seam with an adjacent portion of said palmar facing surface to reduce the palmar facing surface area adjacent the said palmar fold lines so that on closing flexure of the wearer's hand a taut non-wrinkling fit is obtained;
- and
- extending said formed seam beyond the palmar facing surface area from between a thumb and index finger in said glove along the side of the glove to a wrist area.
A method of improving a conventional glove to enhance feel and gripping action of the hand during an athletic contest comprising the steps of:
- marking a pattern along a fold line in a glove across the palmar facing surface area on the glove;
- extending the mark from the fold line in a curvilinear manner from between a thumb and an index finger area to a wrist area;
- and
- forming one continuous seam along the entire mark across the palmar facing surface and from between the thumb and index finger area to the wrist area.
