ABSTRACT:
A protective glove is formed of the type having a back portion, a palmar portion and a plurality of digital sheaths distally projecting from between the back and palmar portions for use on the hand of a wearer. The human hand has a proximal transverse palmar crease, a distal transverse palmar crease and a longitudinal thenar crease all positioned on the palmar surface of said hand. The improvement disclosed comprises the provision of a plurality of flexible resilient pads for absorbing shock positioned on the palmer portion of the glove in spaced, non-overlapping relation to each other and in adjacent substantially non-overlapping relation to the proximal digital crease, the distal transverse palmar crease and the longitudinal thenar crease, such that the plurality of flexible resilient pads abut one-another in edge-contacting relation upon flexion of the hand to form a substantially continuous, non-creased shock absorbing layer covering the metacarpal region of the hand.
