Abstract

Abstract A bonding substance curing only very slowly or not at all in air is applied directly or indirectly to the outside of the palm surface of a glove, in particular a goalie glove. The bonding substance may be coated (directly). However preferably the application shall be indirect in that the bonding substance is admixed to a latex-foam layer fully or partly covering the outside of the palm surface of the glove material. A sports glove, in particular a goalie glove so treated with a bonding substance, is characterized by high adhesion that otherwise cannot be achieved even approximately by mere coating with conventional latex foam. Catching and retaining objects, in particular those with rounded, smooth surfaces such as soccer or hand balls, can be signficantly improved as a result.

Dependent Claim 39 words
The sports glove defined in claim 1 wherein: a) said latex foam material containing the adhesive is imbedded in the form of inlays or islands inside a comparatively thick latex-foam base-layer directly covering the outside of the palm surface.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 63 words
The sports glove defined in claim 1 wherein: a) said latex foam material containing the adhesive and covering the outside of the palm is covered again by a thin cover layer in the form of an adhesive wherein said adhesive is selected from the group consisting essentially of compounds which do not cure in air and compounds which cure very slowly over time.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 18 words
