ABSTRACT:
An improved swimmer's glove having a hand portion with a palm portion of flexible, non-stretchable material and a back portion, a plurality of partially hollow generally tubular fingers extending from the hand portion in a normal position, joints joining the fingers to the hand portion, and flexible webs between adjacent fingers. Each joint has an upper portion projecting at least to the back side of the glove and the joint is bendable only in the closing direction of the hand for reinforcing the hand and fingers of the swimmer against bending in the opening direction of the hand when force is exerted on the glove from the side toward the closing direction of the hand as the swimmer moves the glove through the water while swimming. The joints have a lower joint portion structure of a flexible, non-stretchable material which is connected with the portions of the glove on either side thereof for forming a flexible, non-stretchable hinge and for positioning the lower portion of each joint closer to the lower portions of adjacent joints with the glove in the closed position, whereby the glove can be bent easily around the lower portion of the joints when the hand of the swimmer is closed.
