Abstract: |
A sports glove which includes a glove body, a plurality of open-ended stub fingers, a palm portion made of a flexible material, a flexible strap attached at a fixed end thereof to the palm portion and having a free end fitted with loop material, and a patch of hook material attached to the stub fingers. The strap is looped about a sports implement to be grasped and the free end of the strap is attached to the glove body by the connection formed between the patches of hook and loop material. In use, the tensile force exerted by the implement on the hand of the user bears against the portion of the free end overlapping the hook material to form a secure attachment, so that a portion of the force is borne by the strap and glove palm. The hook and loop connection can be released quickly by the wearer of the glove and involves merely the straightening of the wearer's fingers.
