Abstract
Abstract Sports glove, and more specifically a golfing glove, comprising tightening and tension means incorporating a tightening strap (3) which is slightly extensible or inextensible and is attached to a first end (31) on the dorsal metacarpal region (10), and which extends over a first length (32) in the direction of a first axis (X, X') and fits into an intermediate buckle (4) attached to the glove and positioned so as to be offset in proximity to the areas forming the edge (11) of the glove. The tightening strap extends over a length (33) which, beginning at the intermediate buckle (4), runs along a second axis (Y, Y') ending in a second end (34) which is movably attached, at least partially, to this metacarpal dorsal area (10) or to the wrist (12) area of the glove. The first axis (X, X') and the second axis (Y, Y') are offset by a positive angle (α).

Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
Sports glove (1) comprising tightening and tension means comprising a slightly extensible or inextensible tightening strap (3) attached at a first end (31) on the dorsal metacarpal region (10) of said glove (1) and extending over a first length (32) buckle (4) forming one piece with said glove and arranged in an offset position in proximity to the region forming the edge area (11) of the glove, said tightening strap (3) extending from said intermediate buckle (4) over a second length (33) along a second axis (Y, Y') and ending in a second end (34) movably attached, at least in part, to said dorsal metacarpal region (10) or to the wrist area (12) of said glove, wherein said first axis (X, X') and said second axis (Y, Y') are angularly offset by a positive angle (α).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
136 words
Sports glove (1) comprising tightening and tension means comprising a slightly extensible or inextensible tightening strap (3) attached at a first end (31) on the dorsal metacarpal region (10) of said glove (1) and extending over a first length (32) buckle (4) forming one piece with said glove and arranged in an offset position in proximity to the region forming the edge area (11) of the glove, said tightening strap (3) extending from said intermediate buckle (4) over a second length (33) along a second axis (Y, Y') and ending in a second end (34) movably attached, at least in part, to said dorsal metacarpal region (10) or to the wrist area (12) of said glove, wherein said first axis (X, X') and said second axis (Y, Y') are angularly offset by a positive angle (α).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
52 words
Sports glove according to claim 1, wherein said first axis (X, X') is positioned, beginning at the center point (40) of said intermediate buckle (4), in an area bounded by an axis (O, O') transverse to said glove and an axis (I, I') which passes through the tip of the index finger.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
Sports glove according to claim 2, wherein said first axis (X, X') extends approximately through a point (A) located in the recess (120) between the thumb and the index finger.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
Sports glove according to claim 2, wherein the resultant of the tensive forces exerted along said first and second axes (X, X' and Y, Y') extends along said transverse axis (O, O').
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
50 words
Sports glove according to claim 1, wherein said second axis (Y, Y') is positioned, beginning at the central point (40) of said intermediate buckle (4) in an area bounded by an axis transverse to said glove (O, O') and a longitudinal axis (L,L') which extends substantially parallel to the fingers.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
30 words
Sports glove according to claim 5, wherein said second axis (Y, Y') extends approximately through an area between the base of the thumb region (13) and the wrist area (12).
