DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a baseball glove.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a baseball glove is constructed by filling a felt core between an outer skin of a thumb thereof and a thumb bag provided therein, into which a thumb of a hand is inserted. The felt core is interposed between the outer skin and the thumb bag on the front side of the hand to reduce the impact of catching a ball. In this configuration, the force of the thumb of the hand is not easily transmitted to the thumb of the baseball glove, the force of the thumb is transmitted slowly to the ball immediately after catching, and the grip strength of the hand is sufficiently sufficient during cross spray and touch play There is an inconvenience that does not reach the ball, and for a strong ball, the thumb of the grab reverts and the catching feeling is poor, and such inconveniences,
There was a drawback that the gloves became longer due to the use of the gloves for a long time.

[0003]

In order to solve such inconveniences and drawbacks, an elongated synthetic resin piece extending along the thumb pouch is provided between the back of the thumb of the glove and the outer skin.
Although it is conceivable to provide two reinforcing plates, this has the advantage of increasing the strength of the thumb of the glove, but the thumb of the glove does not bend outward, causing a sense of incongruity with the original function of the finger, and the cross When a large impact is applied to the grab during play or the like, the strength of the reinforcing plate is too strong, and the impact is transmitted to the hand, which is undesirable.Therefore, there are various types of reinforcing plates suitable for various types of grabs. It must be easy and has disadvantages that are not economical. The present invention not only improves the strength of the thumb of the grab and the transmission of the force of the thumb of the hand, but also allows the thumb of the grab to bend outward, reduces the impact on the grab, and transmits to the hand, and is inexpensive It is an object of the present invention to provide a glove provided with a simple reinforcing plate.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, there is provided a baseball glove between the outer skin of the thumb and the thumb bag provided therein, into which the thumb of the hand is inserted. And a reinforcing plate made of synthetic resin extending longitudinally along the thumb bag, wherein the reinforcing plate is made up of a tip reinforcing plate on the tip side of the thumb of the glove and a root reinforcing plate on the root side thereof. The root reinforcing plate is engaged with the thumb pouch, and the lower part of the tip reinforcing plate is interposed between the thumb pouch and the root reinforcing plate, thereby achieving the above object. To achieve. The tip reinforcing plate and the root reinforcing plate are curved so as to surround the thumb pouch in a cross section in the width direction, and a step portion is formed at the lower portion of the tip reinforcing plate so as to be recessed inward of the curve. A part is interposed between the thumb bag and the root reinforcing plate, and a bag-shaped hook for inserting the tip of the thumb of the hand is formed on the back side of the inside of the thumb bag. It is preferable that the plates are integrally connected, and the hook is configured to be able to insert substantially the entire thumb of the hand.

[0005]

[Function] When a force is applied to the glove to bend the thumb of the hand inward, the force is transmitted to the tip reinforcement plate through the root reinforcement plate integrated with the thumb bag, and the entire thumb of the glove is moved inward. Bends towards you. Further, when an impact is applied to the thumb of the glove by a cross spray or the like, only the tip reinforcing plate moves, and it is mitigated that the impact is transmitted to the finger of the hand via the root reinforcing plate. Since the tip reinforcing plate bends outwardly, there is no sense of incongruity. Even when a strong ball is caught, the thumb of the hand is unlikely to return, so that the ball can be reliably caught. The tip stiffener and the root stiffener help to retain the shape of the glove's thumb, as it does not deform over long periods of use.

And
The long reinforcing plate 3 is interposed so as to extend along the thumb bag 5 at a position behind the thumb of the hand. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the reinforcing plate 3 has a structure in which a tip reinforcing plate 3a on the tip side of the thumb 2 of the glove 1 and a root reinforcing plate 3b on the root side thereof are vertically separated from each other. The lower part of the reinforcing plate 3a is shown in FIG.
As described above, the leather strap 7 extending from the hook 11 provided in the thumb bag 5 is inserted to intervene with the root reinforcing plate 3b engaged. The hook 11 is, as shown in FIG.
A leather strap 7 extending two by two from each end of the face skin 11a was provided, and the root reinforcing plate 3b was engaged with the leather strap 7 on one end side, and the leather strap 7 on the other end side was attached to the outer skin 4. As shown in FIG. 4, the tip reinforcing plate 3a and the root reinforcing plate 3b have substantially the same width, and the cross section in the width direction is curved as shown in FIG. Is provided in the glove 1 so as to surround the glove. In the lower part of the tip reinforcing plate 3a,
A step 8 recessed inwardly of the curve was formed with a step that was adapted to the thickness of the root reinforcing plate 3b, and the step 8 was engaged with the thumb bag 5 as shown in FIG. It was made to intervene between the root reinforcing plate 3b. In the case of a right-handed glove, the tip reinforcing plate 3a is formed with a notch 9 on the right side when viewed from the back thereof to reduce the width thereof, and the leather cord 7 provided on the right side of the root reinforcing plate 3b is inserted into the notch 9. The hole 10 was located. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the hook 11 can be sized to cover substantially the entire upper part of the thumb A of the hand inserted into the inside of the thumb bag 5, and in this case, one end of the hook 11 is Sewing to the thumb bag 5, the other side of the strap 7 is inserted into the root reinforcing plate 3 b, and since the hook 11 is long, the movement of the thumb A inserted into the base reinforcing plate 3 b is bent and extended. It is reliably transmitted to the tip reinforcing plate 3a. The tip reinforcing plate 3
a is a leather cord 1 extending through an insertion hole 12 formed therein;
