Hockey glove having an improved inner compartment

Abstract

This invention relates to a goalie glove with an improved inner compartment including a modified inner glove or fack adapted to reduce the risk of slippage when the athlete grasps an object or uses the mitt to catch or smother an object such as a hockey puck. The proposed hockey glove inner compartment reduces the need for tight lacing of the glove on the athlete's hand and forearm and thus improves overall freedom of movement as well as hand and wrist manoeuvrability. The proposed improved hockey glove inner compartment will reduce the risk that the inner compartment becomes overly dampened by the absorption of sweat during the athletic contest and also reduce the risk of being stretched out of shape or damaged from the exertion. The hockey glove will maximize the comfort to the user with minimal loss of function or protectiveness. The improved inner compartment is also adapted to optimize the life of the overall glove construction.

1 . A glove inside of a hockey goalkeeper catching glove which may be adjusted with the help of velcro, straps, laces, buckles or any other product that will hold the glove in place firmly on the hand, assuring maximum stability of the hand of the hockey goalkeeper in the hockey goalkeeper catching glove, solving the hand slippage problem.  
     
     
         2 . The glove may stay permanently in the goalkeeper catching glove or it may be removed from the hockey goalkeeper catching glove to be fixed again inside the goalkeeper catching glove, assuring better freedom of the wrist and the hand of the hockey goalkeeper inside the hockey goalkeeper catching glove because it is no longer necessary to have traditional straps on the top of the wrist and the hand of the hockey goalkeeper in the catching glove to hold his hand.  
     
     
         3 . The inner glove system could be used in a lacrosse goaltender catching glove or in a baseball glove or any other sport where the players have to use a catching glove.
