Abstract: |
A sportsman's mitten which has a flexible hand enclosing glove member that is adapted to enclose and confine a human hand therein in a non-extended closed configuration. An outer-most distal end of the mitten enclosure is slit open to provide an opening for permitting extension of the enclosed fingers of the hand such that they can extend therethrough and beyond by merely extending ones fingers outwardly from the closed configuration. A conventional hook and loop fastener mechanism temporarily closes this distal end opening and is adapted for easy quick opening again by mere extension pressure applied thereto by the outward extension of ones fingers from the closed or fist-like configuration.

I claim:
1. A mitten comprising: A flexible hand enclosing member of predetermined limited length which is defined by the distance between the wrist and the proximal interphalangeal joint of the third finger of a hand to be enclosed therein which thereby requires a human hand when enclosed therein to be in a non-extended closed configuration, an outer-most distal end of said enclosure slit open to provide an opening for permitting extension of fingers of a closed hand enclosed therein to extend therethrough and therebeyond by extending ones fingers outwardly from said closed configuration beyond said limited length, and hook and loop fastener temporarily closing said opening for thereby fully enclosing and confining a human hand in said hand enclosing member in a non-extended closed configuration and for opening said opening with mere extension pressure applied thereto by the outward extension of ones fingers from said closed configuration.
