  • Patent number: 8572764
    Abstract: One or more gloves are disclosed herein. A glove body comprises a glove body internal surface that defines a palm compartment enveloping at least part of a user's palm, a glove body external surface, and a wrist aperture that provides an opening for the user's hand. Digit appendages comprise a digit appendage internal surface that extends the palm compartment to envelop all/part of the user's digit, and a digit appendage external surface. One or more sensors are attached to the glove body to detect one or more hand exercise events that involve a user hand exercise. A memory component, powered by a battery, stores the hand exercise event, upon receiving a hand exercise event detected by a sensor. A device interface delivers the one or more hand exercise events from the memory to a device, upon connection to the device.

  • Patent number: 6990689
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a weighted sports glove that improves the strength, quickness and agility of a soccer goalie. More particularly, the present invention pertains to a soccer goalie glove where one or more weights can be selectively added to and/or removed from the glove during training, and the same glove can subsequently be worn during competition. The glove includes one or more pockets that can selectively receive different weights for use in different training sessions and/or by goalies that have different skill levels or relative strengths and/or are different sizes or ages. The glove also has a layer of material along its palm-side to help in gripping a soccer ball, as well as rigid members in finger portions to mitigate hyper-extending digits. The one or more weights are located within the glove for optimal biomechanical advantage. In particular, the weights are located on a back portion of the hand to facilitate resistive training to strengthen desired body parts (e.g.
