ABSTRACT:
Hand protection systems for use with batting gloves having a back surface which is adapted to fit over the metacarpal portion of the wearer's hand for protecting the hand. The components of the protective system can be releasibly connected to the glove while in place on the wearer's hand. The system involves a cushioning pad which is releasibly connected at its underside to the back surface of the glove so that it is held firmly in place on the glove while at the same time it being readily withdrawn from the glove. A rigid plate member is releasibly secured to the outer side of the cushioning pad so that a sharp blow to the outer surface of the plate member is distributed to a substantial surface area of the pad. The plate member has at least one transversely extending rib eccentrically positioned on the plate member along its longitudinal dimension. A second rib may be spaced from and generally co-extend with the first rib member. The cushioning pad may be configured to provide a reduced interior standoff section and an annular cushioning section. The rib plate member may be of an arcuate shape generally conforming to the convex shape of the outer side of the cushioning pad and can be provided with a downwardly extending lip portion which is adapted to fit around the outer edge of the protective pad.
