Abstract: |
There is provided various embodiments of a gripping glove having a plurality of spring members which are positionable to impose a selective gripping force to the fingers of a user to improve the user's grip. The gripping glove utilizes U-shaped springs which in one embodiment are sewn into the glove overlying each of the user's fingers to provide an improved gripping force. In another embodiment, the U-shaped springs are incorporated in a pocket which is affixed to the back of a glove. In a third embodiment, the U-shaped grip enhancing springs are incorporated in a pocket having a releasable fastening surface, such as Velcro, to enable springs of different force to be readily interchangeably used and removed from the glove.
