Systems and methods for manufacturing a soccer goalie glove

Abstract

A soccer goalie glove have a backhand portion, wherein the backhand portion comprises a first top view shape of four fingers and a top part of a palm and the backhand portion has a first maximum thickness of 2-4 mm and a palm portion, wherein the palm portion comprises a second top view shape of the four fingers, thumb, and the palm, and the palm portion has a second maximum thickness of one and a half times the first maximum thickness. Respective cross-sections of the backhand portion and palm portion comprise each of respective fingers of the fabricated shapes a semi-circle with flat edges comprising stitch regions towards both ends and the stitch regions are flat surfaces with stitching applied to attach the backhand portion to the palm portion at stitch lines.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A manufacturing method of a glove, comprising the steps of:
 a. cutting out a backhand cutout from a first sheet of padding with a thickness of 2-4 mm, the backhand cutout in shape of four fingers and a top part of a palm;   b. cutting out a palm hand cutout from a second sheet of padding with a thickness of 3-6 mm, the palm hand cutout formed in a shape of a hand including the four fingers, thumb, and the palm;   c. applying heat and mold to the respective hand cutouts for forming fabricated shapes for the respective hand cutouts, where a cross-section for each of respective fingers of the fabricated shapes comprises a semi-circle with flat edges comprising stitch regions towards both ends;   d. determining stitch lines for each of the fabricated pair of hand cutouts, wherein flat stitching regions are formed towards the edges of the semi-circles; and   e. stitching the fabricated pair of hand cutouts using machine stitching at the stitch lines.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein a first thickness of the first sheet of padding is two-thirds a second thickness of the second sheet of padding. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein a third thickness at the stitch regions is less half to two-thirds half a maximum thickness of each of the fabricated shapes. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the maximum thickness is at a respective middle of the cross-section of each of the respective fingers of fabricated shapes. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein stitch regions extend from respective edges to a curvature part of each of the respective fingers of fabricated shapes. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein a stitch region distance from the respective edges to the curvature of each of the respective fingers of fabricated shapes is 2-5 mm. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein a stitch line distance from the respective edges to the stitch lines is 1-3 mm. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , where the fabricated pair of hand cutouts retain their shapes without application of any pressure or force. 
     
     
         9 . A soccer goalie glove, comprising:
 a backhand portion, wherein the backhand portion comprises a first top view shape of four fingers and a top part of a palm and the backhand portion has a first maximum thickness of 2-4 mm; and   a palm portion, wherein the palm portion comprises a second top view shape of the four fingers, thumb, and the palm, and the palm portion has a second maximum thickness of one and a half times the first maximum thickness,   wherein respective cross-sections of the backhand portion and palm portion comprise each of respective fingers of the fabricated shapes a semi-circle with flat edges comprising stitch regions towards both ends, wherein the stitch regions are flat surfaces with stitching applied to attach the backhand portion to the palm portion at stitch lines.   
     
     
         10 . The glove of  claim 9 , wherein the stitch regions extend from respective edges to a curvature part of each of the respective fingers. 
     
     
         11 . The glove of  claim 10 , wherein a stitch region distance from the respective edges to the curvature of each of the respective fingers is 2-5 mm. 
     
     
         12 . The glove of  claim 11 , wherein a stitch line distance from the respective edges to the stitch lines is 1-3 mm.
