Abstract

A flexible protective padding for baseball glove fabricated from raw material provided with moisture absorption and perspiration repellent function, and corresponding overlays of shock absorbent packing fabricated from raw material provided with shock absorbing functionality and a three-finger shaped plastic piece provided with a degree of curvature and a plurality of ventilation holes. The material thus covers the shock absorbent packing and the three-finger shaped plastic piece interior thereof, and the flexible protective padding is externally inserted interior of finger portions of a baseball glove. Based on the aforementioned structural design, upon a user catching a ball with the baseball glove, the user can easily bend the baseball glove in order to catch the ball, while simultaneously absorbing shock and nullifying the collision force from the speeding ball, thereby preventing the ball from bouncing out of the glove.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A flexible protective padding for baseball glove, which can be externally inserted and thereby fitted interior of finger portions of a baseball glove, thereby allowing a user upon attempting to catch a ball to more easily bend the baseball glove so as to catch the ball, while simultaneously absorbing shock and nullifying collision force from catching the speeding ball, which thus avoids causing injury to the hand; and is characterized in that: the flexible protective padding is structured from material fabricated from raw material provided with moisture absorption and perspiration repellent function, and corresponding overlays of shock absorbent packing fabricated from raw material provided with shock absorbing functionality and a three-finger shaped plastic piece provided with a degree of curvature and a plurality of ventilation holes, the material thus covers the shock absorbent packing and the three-finger shaped plastic piece interior thereof, and the flexible protective padding is externally inserted interior of the finger portions of the glove; the three-finger shaped plastic piece, which is provided with the degree of curvature and the plurality of ventilation holes, can be stitched directly to an inner lining interior of the finger portions.  
   
   
       2 . The flexible protective padding for baseball glove according to  claim 1 , wherein the inner lining of the finger portions is structured from raw material provided with moisture absorption and perspiration repellent function, and the three-finger shaped plastic piece is fabricated from relatively hard plastic or material of similar hardness.  
   
   
       3 . The flexible protective padding for baseball glove according to  claim 1 , wherein the externally inserted flexible protective padding is fitted in position of the index finger, the middle finger and the ring finger of the baseball glove or is fitted in position of the middle finger, the ring finger and the little finger of the baseball glove.
