  • Patent number: 4843648
    Abstract: Sleeper pajamas for a young child, including a garment of relatively soft and porous fleece-like cloth fabric having leg portions terminating in tubular distal ends sized for loosely surrounding the child's legs, and boot members of non-porous and wear-resistant material connected to the distal ends, each member including a sole and a counter having an instep portion overlying the sole and arranged to space the instep portion upwardly and outwardly from the child's instep and to space the top end of the counter outwardly from the leg, for relatively unhindered insertion of the foot into the member and unhindered air circulation between the member interior and leg portion interior located proximally of the distal end and surrounding the leg, while spacing the distal end sufficiently above the sole to avoid contact of the garment with a surface on which the child may walk or run.

  • Patent number: 4815147
    Abstract: A hockey glove (40) has a set of knuckle protective pads (42) which follow the position of the player's knuckles beneath the pads (42). Break lines (44) are arcuate in shape and incline rearwardly toward wrist portion (46) of the glove (40) from base (48) of thumb portion (50) of the glove (40). Break lines (52) extend between the break lines (44) and are inclined at an acute angle relative to longitudinal direction (54) of the glove (40). Break lines (56) between protective pads (57) on fingers (58) of the glove correspond to the different positions of middle joints on the player's hand, i.e., they are not positioned in a straight line. The rear break line (44) separates the protective pads (42) from protective pad (43) for the back of the wearer's hand. The construction of the protective pads (42) and (57) and the break lines (44, 52 and 56) on the glove 40 allows the player to grasp hockey stick (20) in a natural grip.
