  • Patent number: 5295269
    Abstract: An all purpose hand protection glove is formed of padded casing for fitting across the back of the hand, fingers and wrist of the user. A thin resilient hand pad is contained in the casing on the back of the hand and finger and wrist portion of the glove for fitting over the user's right or left hand. A hook and loop fastener strip is attached to the side of the wrist portion of the pad so that 85 inches of handwrap, included with the glove, may be attached to the hook and loop fastener strip, at the option of the user, to use in wrapping the thumb and stabalizing the wrist of the user. Two hinge points are formed, one between the hand pad and finger pad and the other between the hand pad and wrist pad to permit flexing of the fingers and wrist. The pads over the fingers are individually stitched to provide protection for each digit and increase the flexibility of the fingers. Four individual flexible elastic loops, through which the fingers insert, extend from the palm side of the casing.
