| Claim |
1. A weight-equalizing device that may be worn by a bowler on the hand of the arm opposite the arm supporting the bowling ball to improve the bowler's balance, which device includes:
- a. an elongate lead weight having a longitudinal concave inner face that conforms generally to said bowler's wrist and back of the hand, and a convex outer face that conforms generally to said bowler's palm;
- b. a rectangular wire member of greater length than said weight, said member having the central portion thereof embedded in said weight and longitudinally oriented relative thereto, and said member having two end portions that project from opposite ends of said weight to define two loops;
- c. a protective envelope that encompasses the major the lead of the exterior surface of said weight to prevent the leading defining said weight from coming in contact with the skin of the bowler to discolor said skin; and
- d. a single continuous band that engages said loops, with said band including two reaches that may be disposed to cross over one another when said weight is positioned on the back of said bowler's hand to permit the thumb of said hand to be positioned between said reaches and prevent any substantial movement of said weight relative to said hand.
