Five-finger glove permitting wearer's hand to be liberated as it is worn

Abstract

A main body of the glove is provided with an arm fastener and a wrist fastener at its arm and wrist sections, respectively, so that when a front end of a closing flap is pulled up with only the wrist fastener loosened, a substantially wide closable opening provided in the back of the main body opens. Pulling the fingertip portion of the glove causes a stretchable section to extend longitudinally against the arm section fastened to the arm of the wearer so as to permit the hand to be readily liberated outside through the closable opening.

1 . A five-finger glove comprising a substantially wide closable opening provided at the back of a main body thereof, a wrist section of the main body of the glove being formed to provide the main body with a variable length and a fastening belt being provided at an arm section of the main body of the glove for fastening the same to the arm of a wearer of the glove, a flap attached to the glove to move between a closed position that closes the closable opening to an open position that opens the closable opening, thus a hand of the wearer being permitted to be liberated outside the glove through said opening as it is worn by the wearer, and releasable fasteners on the glove along a periphery of the closable opening and along a periphery of the flap that releasably fastens to each other as the flap reaches the closed position and may be manually pulled apart so the flap may reach the open position.  
     
     
         2 . A five-finger glove of  claim 1 , wherein the flap opens toward the wrist section so as to fold across the back of the main body generally in alignment with the wrist section.  
     
     
         3 . A five-finger glove of  claim 1 , wherein the wrist section is formed of a stretchable material.  
     
     
         4 . A five-finger glove of  claim 2 , wherein the flap is bent in the open position and remains substantially fixed in the bent position despite side to side twisting movements imposed by the arm of the wearer of the glove.
