Vibration reducing golf glove

Abstract

A vibration reducing golf glove, which includes a front panel for covering the inner portion of a wearer's hand and fingers, a thumb section for covering the wearer's thumb which is coupled to the front panel, and a back panel for covering the outer portion of a wearer's hand and fingers. Vibration reducing thick leather is coupled independently to the front panel at the palm, thumb and finger areas for reducing the degree of vibration. As a result, the vibration reducing golf glove provides a reduction in the vibration and shock transmitted to the wearer's and at the time a shock or vibration is applied to the outer surface of the glove.

1 . A vibration reducing golf glove, comprising:
 a thin leather front panel of the glove, for covering the inner portion of a wearer's hand and fingers:   a thin leather back panel of the glove for covering the outer portion of a wearer's hand and fingers;   a thumb section coupled to the front panel for covering the wearer's thumb;   vibration reducing means coupled to the interior of the front panel and constituting a minimum of sixty percent of the front panel area;   the vibration reducing means including thick leather palm, thumb and finger portions, wherein the thick leather portions have a thickness of about three to five times the thickness of the thin leather panels;   the thick leather portions are sewn to the thin leather portions on an inside surface thereof; and   the finger portion including an index finger having vibration reducing means extending around the finger to include a portion of the back panel,   whereby the vibration reducing golf glove provides a reduction in the vibration and shock transmitted to the wearer's hand at the time a shock or vibration is applied to the outer surface of the glove.   
   
   
       2 . The vibration reducing golf glove of  claim 1 , wherein the front panel, back panel and thumb section of the glove is formed from leather tanned in accordance with a tanning process. 
   
   
       3 . The vibration reducing golf glove of  claim 2 , wherein the vibration reducing means is formed of deer, elk or moose skin tanned in accordance with the process used for tanning the leather used in the front panel, thumb section and back panel. 
   
   
       4 . The vibration reducing golf glove of  claim 4 , wherein the front panel, back panel, and thumb section are formed from a lightweight synthetic leather with deer, elk or moose leather as the vibration reducing means. 
   
   
       5 . The vibration reducing golf glove of  claim 1 , wherein the vibration reducing means also includes portions of deer, elk or moose skins having a thickness. 
   
   
       6 . The vibration reducing golf glove of  claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the vibration reducing means is between 0.9 mm to 1.2 mm. 
   
   
       7 . The vibration reducing golf glove of  claim 1 , wherein the palm panel, thumb section and back panel are formed of a synthetic leather and the vibration reducing means include deer, elk or moose leather inner pads. 
   
   
       8 . The vibration reducing golf glove of  claim 1  wherein the glove has vibration reducing means covering seventy percent of the front panel. 
   
   
       9 . The vibration reducing golf glove of  claim 1  wherein the palm panel, thumb section and back panel are formed of a graphite impregnated leather and the vibration reducing means include deer, elk or moose leather. 
   
   
       10 . The vibration reducing golf glove of  claim 1 , wherein the back panel includes an
 elastic strip coupled to the back panel over a knuckle area of the glove.   
   
   
       11 . The vibration reducing golf glove of  claim 10 , wherein the glove include elastic side panels.
