ABSTRACT:
A molded plastic cesta is formed with all but the glove portion defined by a single integrally molded plastic part or body portion, the pilota launching surface of which is generally straight and integrally connected to an arcuate inner ramp surface which is integrally connected to a second straight segment oriented perpendicular to the first or launching surface. This second straight surface segment receives the glove defining portion. A reversely curved surface also integrally connected to these surfaces defines a pocket for the pilota. The cross sectional configuration defines a chute of varying depth, the deepest portion provided at the pocket, and the opposite end portions of the cesta defining relatively shallow chute-like segments. The outer marginal edge portions of the chute side portions define outwardly turned flanges for receiving a reinforcing plastic slide-strip adapted to fit over these flanged portions, not only to strengthen them, but also to reduce the likelihood of injury in the event that the rapidly swung cesta comes in contact with a teammate or an opposing player. The glove defining portion may be fabricated from a vinyl cloth material in two layers, which layers are folded back one top of the other such that they can be stitched together to form finger openings, and the upper layer extends downwardly beyond the lower layer to permit a cestus or strap to be wound around the users wrist and also around a peg slidably received in a laterally extending bore defined for this purpose in a bracket element rivited to the inner end of the plastic cesta.
