DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a thumb bag structure for a baseball catcher.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 3, a conventional ball catching device for a baseball has a plurality of leathers so as to form five generally finger-shaped spherical skins 16 and five finger pockets, respectively. The back skin 15 sewn and finished with parts consisting of the following, after sewing the periphery except for the hand insertion part so that both sides are on the silver side, turn over the front and back so that the silver side is on the front side ,
This is used as a front member. Next, a palm skin 18 having a substantially finger-like shape cut into five smaller pieces than the front member, and a back shell finished by sewing a plurality of leather parts so as to form five finger pockets, respectively. 17 is sewn around its periphery except for the hand insertion portion so that the silver sides of both are also inside, and then used as a back member.

[0003] A core made of felt or the like, another shock absorber, wax, or the like is inserted into a required portion of the front member, or after impregnating with oil, the back member is inserted, and the front member is connected to the front member. The signature insertion part of the back member is connected with a leather cord. In addition, a web formed separately between the thumb bag and the index finger bag,
This is also joined with a leather string, and is finally finished as a baseball catching tool.

[0004] By the way, in sewing the back skin 15 or the back surface skin 16 and the back skin 15 which are finished by sewing a plurality of parts, the sewing thread is only applied to the surface if the periphery is sewn and the front and back are turned upside down. Not only is the appearance unsatisfactory because it is exposed, but also when the ball tip of the ball catching tool comes into contact with the ground when catching a ball, the sewing thread also comes into contact with the ground and breaks the thread. Therefore, when sewing the back skin 15 finished by sewing a plurality of parts, or the seam receiving surface skin 16 and the back skin 15, it is necessary to sew with a band-shaped leather cord called protrusion protruding between them. Has been done. By doing so, the appearance is good because the sewing thread does not easily come out to the surface, and the sewing thread does not directly contact the ground, so that the thread does not break.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the finger is inserted into the baseball catching tool, the protrusion 19 hits the back of the inserted finger as shown in FIG. Since the finger is pressed, the insertion feeling is deteriorated, and the finger is often hurt by prolonged use. In particular, when catching a ball, the thumb and little finger that exert the force to close the baseball catching device have a structure that is firmly inserted without play in each finger bag, so this tendency was strong. . FIG. 5 is a rear view of the thumb bag 20 of the conventionally used baseball catching tool 11,
The protrusion 26 extends from the fingertip 21 of the thumb bag 20 to the hand insertion portion 22.
It can be seen that the inserted thumb a touches the protrusion 26.

[0006] In order to improve such a drawback, a device has been devised so that the back of the inserted thumb does not protrude. FIG. 6 shows that the protruding portion 26 is not linearly positioned from the fingertip 21 of the thumb bag 20 to the hand insertion portion 22 on the back skin constituting the thumb bag 20, but is located on the opposite side of the web 24 from the middle. It is positioned so as to bend toward the edge 23. In this improvement, the protruding thumb does not hit the thumb a, but the thumb a is located along the curve of the protruding portion 26. There was a drawback that it was pressed by the protrusion 26 and pressed. Further, there is a disadvantage that it is difficult to cut the two skins constituting the back skin of the thumb bag 20 so as to match the curve.

Further, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-99127 (FIG. 7), the back skin of the thumb pouch (thumb insertion portion) (H) is divided into a first cover body (1) and a second cover body. (2), an extension (10) is formed on the first cover body and extends in the insertion direction of the thumb, and the second cover body (2) is positioned at least on the peripheral edge of the first cover body. The invention has also been made to prevent the thumb into which the (shaped member) (42) is inserted from being pressed.

In the above invention (FIG. 7), the thumb F is drawn so as to be inserted almost in parallel with the thumb bag extending in the vertical direction. However, in practice, the thumb is inserted diagonally across the thumb bag that extends in the vertical direction as shown in FIGS. Therefore, in the above-described structure, the tip of the thumb hits the portion where the first cover body (1) and the second cover body (2) overlap, and the fingertip is also pressed. Furthermore, the first cover body (1) and the second cover body (2) have to be joined over a considerable distance, and there is a drawback in that the manufacturing effort is extremely large.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional baseball catching tool, and the thumb inserted into the thumb bag is manufactured while minimizing the manufacturing labor as much as possible. It is an object of the present invention to provide a baseball catching tool with a good hand insertion feeling by preventing pressure from being applied by the protrusion located on the back surface.

[0010]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is directed to a baseball catching device 1 comprising a thumb bag 2.
In the back skin of two or more sheets, the cutting of the back skin 2A arranged on the web 3 side on the side opposite to the web 3 side is first cut vertically from the fingertip 5 toward the hand insertion portion 7, and then the thumb bag 2 is cut.
In the first base 41 at a position closer to the fingertip 5 of the thumb pouch 2 than the tip b of the thumb a inserted in the above, the vertical cutting is cut at substantially right angles to the edge 9 in the horizontal direction, and finally, the horizontal cutting is performed. A thumb bag structure for a baseball catching tool, wherein the base bag is cut from the second base portion 42 that has reached the edge 9 at a substantially right angle to the lateral cutting, and along the edge 9 in the direction of the hand insertion portion 7. And

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows a baseball catching implement 1 embodying the present invention as viewed from the back of a thumb pouch 2.
FIG. 2 shows a part diagram of three pieces of leather constituting the thumb bag 2. The back skin of the thumb bag 2 is 2A, 2 in this embodiment.
B, 2C are made of three back skins. The back skin may be constituted by three sheets as in the present embodiment, but may be constituted by one back skin 2B and 2C in total as two sheets. Although four or more sheets can be used, it is not very preferable because sewing time is increased.

In the present invention, the cutting of the back skin 2A arranged on the side of the web 3 on the side opposite to the side of the web 3 is first cut vertically from the fingertip 5 toward the hand insertion portion 7, and then the thumb bag 2 is cut.
In the first base portion 41 at a position closer to the fingertip 5 of the thumb pouch 2 than the tip b of the thumb a inserted in the above, the vertical cutting is performed at a substantially right angle and is cut laterally in the edge 9 direction. The first position closer to the fingertip 5 of the thumb pouch 2 than the tip b of the thumb a inserted in the thumb pouch 2
The reason why the cutting direction is changed in the base portion 41 is to satisfy the essential requirement of the present invention that the sewing portion including the protrusion 6 of the back skin does not hit the thumb a inserted into the thumb bag 2. is there.

A portion where the horizontal cutting from the first base portion 41 to the edge 9 reaches the edge 9 is referred to as a second base portion 42. From the second base 42, along the edge 9, the horizontal cutting is to cut vertically in the direction of the hand insertion portion 7 at a substantially right angle. However, even though it is vertical, it is curved as shown in FIG. Further, FIG.
In the part diagram of FIG. 5, the end of the back skin 2A on the hand insertion portion 7 side is
It is up to just before the signature Vero 8. The back skin 2A is not limited to the above embodiment, but may be configured so that the hand insertion portion 7 side of the back skin 2A is extended instead of being stopped in front of the hand grommet 8, and also serves as the hand grommet 8.

The back skins 2A, 2B and 2C are connected by sewing. As shown in FIG. 1, at the time of sewing, the protruding portion 6 can be used as in the related art. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the back skin 2A and the back skin 2B, the back skin 2B and the back skin 2C
The protruding portion 6 is used for vertical sewing from the fingertip 5 to the hand insertion portion 7. No protruding portion is used for lateral sewing from the first base portion 41 to the edge 9 of the back skin 2A and the back skins 2B and 2C. Whether or not to use the protrusion 6 can be appropriately selected at the time of implementation.

As shown in FIG. 2, the other back skins 2B and 2C located on the side opposite to the web 3 constituting the back skin of the thumb pouch 2 move from the fingertip 5 of the back skin 2A toward the hand insertion portion 7 as shown in FIG. With the vertical cutting and the horizontal cutting in the direction of the lip 9 from the first base 41 as borders, the size covering the portion of the thumb sack 2 surrounded by the fingertip 5 and the lip 9 plus the sewing allowance Has become.

The cutting from the fingertip 5 of the back skin 2A to the first base 41 and the cutting from the first base to the second base are straight cuts, so that the cut is very easy. In the conventional example as shown in FIG. 6, it was very difficult to cut the two skins constituting the back skin of the thumb bag 20 so as to match the curved curve. Was completed.

The thumb bag 2 has a finger rest 10 as before.
Can also be provided.

[0018]

According to the present invention, the inserted thumb A has a structure in which not only the protrusion 6 of the thumb pouch 2 but also all other seams sewn to the thumb pouch 2 do not hit. Therefore, since the thumb A is not pressed, it is possible to provide a baseball catching tool with a good hand insertion feeling.

The back skin 2A constituting the thumb bag 2 is also manufactured.
May be cut linearly in cutting from the fingertip 5 to the first base 41 and cutting from the first base to the second base. Since it is not cut in a curve like the conventional example of FIG.
It also has the characteristic that it can be easily cut without requiring skill in cutting.
