Weight Training Glove Apparatus

Abstract

A weight training glove apparatus for improved grip securing weights includes a glove body having a dorsal side, a ventral side, a wrist portion, a palm portion, a thumb portion, and a plurality of finger portions. The wrist portion has a principal aperture extending through to a glove inside. Each of the plurality of finger portions has a fingertip aperture configured to expose a user's fingertip and the thumb portion has a thumb tip aperture configured to expose a user's thumb tip. A strap is coupled to the wrist portion and comprises a first mating member and a second mating member to selectively cinch the principal aperture and secure the wrist portion on the user's wrist. A grip panel is coupled to the ventral side of the wrist portion and extends towards the fingertip apertures. The grip panel is substantially flexible to be wrapped around a weight bar.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A weight training glove apparatus comprising:
 a glove body, the glove body having a dorsal side, a ventral side, a wrist portion, a palm portion, a thumb portion, and a plurality of finger portions, the wrist portion having a principal aperture extending through to a glove inside, the principal aperture being configured to receive a user's hand, the wrist portion being configured to cover a user's wrist, each of the plurality of finger portions having a fingertip aperture configured to expose a user's fingertip, the thumb portion having a thumb tip aperture configured to expose a user's thumb tip;   a strap coupled to the glove body, the strap being coupled to the wrist portion and comprising a first mating member and a second mating member to selectively cinch the principal aperture and secure the wrist portion on the user's wrist; and   a grip panel coupled to the glove body, the grip panel being coupled to the ventral side of the wrist portion and extending towards the fingertip apertures, the grip panel being substantially flexible to be wrapped around a weight bar.   
     
     
         2 . The weight training glove apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising the first and second mating members comprising a hook and loop fastener or other type of releasable fastener such as, but not limited to, buttons, snaps, and the like. 
     
     
         3 . The weight training glove apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising the grip panel comprising a thin portion, a tapered portion, and a wide portion, the thin portion being continuously coupled to the ventral side of the wrist portion. 
     
     
         4 . The weight training glove apparatus of  claim 3  further comprising the wide portion extending from an index finger portion to a little finger portion of the plurality of finger portions. 
     
     
         5 . The weight training glove apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising a distal end of the grip panel extending past the plurality of finger portions of the glove body. 
     
     
         6 . The weight training glove apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising the plurality of finger portions being configured to extend to a distal phalanx of each of the user's fingers. 
     
     
         7 . A weight training glove apparatus comprising:
 a glove body, the glove body having a dorsal side, a ventral side, a wrist portion, a palm portion, a thumb portion, and a plurality of finger portions, the wrist portion having a principal aperture extending through to a glove inside, the principal aperture being configured to receive a user's hand, the wrist portion being configured to cover a user's wrist, each of the plurality of finger portions having a fingertip aperture configured to expose a user's fingertip, the plurality of finger portions being configured to extend to a distal phalanx of each of the user's fingers, the thumb portion having a thumb tip aperture configured to expose a user's thumb tip;   a strap coupled to the glove body, the strap being coupled to the wrist portion and comprising a first mating member and a second mating member to selectively cinch the principal aperture and secure the wrist portion on the user's wrist, the first and second mating members comprising a hook and loop fastener or other type of releasable fastener such as, but not limited to, buttons, snaps, and the like; and   a grip panel coupled to the glove body, the grip panel comprising a thin portion, a tapered portion, and a wide portion, the thin portion being continuously coupled to the ventral side of the wrist portion, the tapered portion extending over the palm portion, and the wide portion extending from the palm portion over the plurality of finger portions, a distal end of the grip panel extending past the plurality of finger portions, the grip panel being substantially flexible to be wrapped around a weight bar.
