A hand glove for the participant of an active sport in which at least one of the participants fingers maybe subjected to hyper-extension from contact received from participating in that sport. The glove has respectively oppositely disposed palm and dorsal faces, a plurality of individual finger elements and an elongate strip of material having at least elastically stretchable portions spaced apart from one another longitudinally along the strip and on the palm face side of the glove for each one of selected finger elements of the glove. Each strip is anchored at one end thereof proximate the tip of the glove finger element associated therewith and at the other end proximate the palm portion of the glove. Each strip being elastically stretchable is tensioned causing the finger element associated therewith to curl in a direction of the fingers for gripping an article.
A glove having respective oppositely disposed palm and dorsal faces, a wrist band, a plurality of individual finger elements and an elongate elastically stretchable strip anchored at opposite ends thereof respectively to a selected finger element at a first position disposed adjacent the tip of the finger element associated therewith and at a second position on the glove spaced from said first position, said stretchable strip being located on the palm face side of a hand in the glove and tensionable so as to cause the finger element associated therewith to curl the finger element associated therewith in a direction to grin an article when on one's hand;
A hand glove for the participant of an active sport in which at least one finger of that participant maybe subjected to hyper-extension while participating in the sport, said glove having oppositely disposed respective palm and dorsal faces and a plurality of individual finger elements, an elongate strip of material secured to the glove and located on the palm side of a hand inserted into the glove for each one of selected finger elements of the glove, each said strip being anchored at one end thereof proximate the tip of the glove finger element associated therewith and at the other end proximate the palm portion of the glove;
A glove having respective oppositely disposed palm and dorsal faces, a wrist band, a plurality of individual finger elements and an elongate elastically stretchable strip in each of respective ones of said finger elements, said strips being anchored at one end thereof to the glove at a first position disposed adjacent the tip of the finger element associated therewith and means detachably and adjustably securing the other end to the glove at a second position spaced from said first position permitting selectively varying the tension of the strips, said stretchable strips being located on the palm face side of a hand in the glove and when tensioned in use resiliently forcing the finger element associated therewith to curl in a direction to grip an article;
