  • Leather softening apparatus for baseball gloves
    Patent number: 7080762
    Abstract: An apparatus for softening or “breaking-in” the leather on baseball and softball gloves comprises a cabinet having a hinged cover with a concave center portion of a gum-type rubber. A mushroom shaped ball head extends upwardly from the cabinet surface to engage a glove held in place by the domed cover surface. The ball head rotates and orbits about a bent shaft at a high speed and engages the pocket or other portion of a leather glove. The ball head softens the glove by physical contact as well as friction-induced heat.
