| Abstract: |
A glove principally for use as a catching glove by a hockey goalkeeper has the usual finger pocket with an outer side for overlying the goalkeeper's knuckles, and further comprises a hockey stick retainer which overlies a portion of the outer side of the finger pocket and is connected to a control mechanism for controlling movement away from this outer side portion. The retainer has a stiffness such that, with the control mechanism acting on the retainer, a hockey stick can be held firmly between the outer side portion and the retainer while all the goalkeeper's fingers remain in the finger pocket means. The glove can hold a hockey stick or like article without requiring any use of the thumb, and can also be used in other sports, and in other situations, where a player or a user does not have an operative thumb.

I claim:
1. A glove for holding a handle portion of an implement, including a sports implement, the glove having finger pocket means with an outer side for overlying the user's knuckles;
- the glove further comprising a handle retainer which overlies a portion of said outer side portion of the finger pocket means, said retainer having spaced connections firstly to an outer end portion of the glove beyond tips of fingers when in the glove, and secondly to control means at an outer finger area for controlling movement away from the outer side portion, said retainer having a stiffness such that, with the control means acting on the retainer, a handle portion of an implement can be held firmly between said outer side portion and the retainer while all the user's fingers remain in the finger pocket means, the control means being such that inwards flexing of the fingers in said finger pocket means causes the retainer to be pulled towards said outer side portion to more firmly hold said handle portion.
