| Abstract: |
A golfer's glove for maintaining the golfer's two hands in proper mutual position and maintaining effective grasp of the shaft of a golf club while swinging. The glove has the conventional main portion, four fingers, and a thumb. Novel features include an auxiliary finger chamber for engaging a finger of the hand opposite that wearing the glove, and a seam joining the thumb tightly to the conventional main portion. The auxiliary finger chamber is disposed between the index finger and the middle finger and is dimensioned and configured such that two joints of an inserted finger are restrained therein, and further assures that the two hands remain in proper relation to one another. Restraint of the thumb assists in eliminating uneven or asymmetric pressures exerted on the shaft of the golf club which would distort the swing. The attaching thumb seam extends beyond the knuckle of the index finger to assure no unwanted motion during the swing.

| Claim |
I claim:
1. A golfer's glove for assisting in maintaining effective positioning of the hands and grasp of the shaft of a club when swinging the club, said glove comprising:
- a main portion surrounding the central portion of a user's hand;
- a thumb pocket and four finger pockets including an index finger pocket and a middle finger pocket, joined to and projecting from said main portion, said thumb pocket maintained abutting said main portion and said index finger pocket by permanent attachment means comprising a continuous seam joining said thumb pocket to said main portion of said golfer's glove and extending at least to a user's inserted index finger first knuckle; and
- a sleeve for receiving a finger of the hand opposite that wearing said golfer's glove, said sleeve having an open proximal end and an open distal end, said sleeve arranged parallel to said four finger pockets and attached between said index finger pocket and middle finger pocket, said sleeve dimensioned and configured to enclose two finger joints of a user's inserted opposite hand finger, said sleeve having two seams running the full length of opposite sides of said sleeve, one of said two seams attaching said sleeve to an upper surface of said index finger pocket and the other of said two seams attaching said sleeve to an upper surface of said middle finger pocket, said sleeve extending from below outermost finger joints of the inserted user index and middle fingers to the inserted user knuckles at said index finger pocket and said middle finger pocket, wherein
- said golfer's glove allows the user to maintain an effective grasp of the shaft of the club by preventing the gloved thumb from wrapping around the shaft and by preventing separation of the user's hands by virtue of the restraint of a finger of the user's opposite hand within said sleeve and further encouraging the user's hands to stay in constant orientation with respect to one another.
