Abstract

A finger protection structure adapted to be assembled in a glove is provided. The finger protection structure includes a protection strip unit, and an engagement unit. The protection strip unit is configured with a plurality of fixing portions on an upper surface of the protection strip unit. Each fixing portion is configured with a top edge and a bottom edge. The bottom edges are adapted for being engaged from two opposite directions. The engagement unit includes a widened strip member, and a plurality of engagement blocks configured on a surface of the widened strip member. The engagement blocks are adapted for engaging with the bottom edges of the fixing portions, such that the engagement blocks are tightly arranged in close contact in a row side by side on the upper surface of the protection strip unit for restricting a reverse bending of the finger protection structure for protecting the fingers.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A finger protection structure for a glove, comprising:
 a protection strip unit, comprising a plurality of fixing portions configured on an upper surface of the protection strip unit; and   an engagement unit, comprising a widened strip member, and a plurality of engagement blocks configured on a surface of the widened strip member, wherein the engagement blocks are engaged with the fixing portions,   wherein the engagement blocks are tightly arranged side by side in a row against each other for restricting a reverse bending of the protection strip unit.   
     
     
         2 . The finger protection structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the protection strip unit is a strip-shaped member. 
     
     
         3 . The finger protection structure according to  claim 1 , wherein each fixing portion comprises a top edge and a bottom edge, and the top edge has a width greater than a width of the bottom edge. 
     
     
         4 . The finger protection structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the bottom edge of the fixing portion is engaged with a corresponding one of the engagement blocks. 
     
     
         5 . The finger protection structure according to  claim 4 , wherein the bottom edge of the fixing portion is engaged with the engagement blocks in a manner of male-female engagement. 
     
     
         6 . The finger protection structure according to  claim 4 , wherein the bottom edge is adapted for engaging with the engagement block from a first direction, and a next bottom edge immediately adjacent to the bottom edge is adapted for engaging another one of the engagement blocks from a second direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction are opposite each other, such that the engagement blocks are alternatively engaged from opposite directions. 
     
     
         7 . The finger protection structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the finger protection structure is assembled inside the glove. 
     
     
         8 . The finger protection structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the finger protection structure is assembled at an external backside of the glove. 
     
     
         9 . The finger protection structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the finger protection structure is assembled at an external front side of the glove. 
     
     
         10 . The finger protection structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the protection strip unit further comprises a coupling portion configured at an end of the protection strip unit, wherein the coupling portion is adapted to be assembled to a securing member. 
     
     
         11 . The finger protection structure according to  claim 10 , wherein the assembly of finger protection structure and the securing member is assembled inside the glove. 
     
     
         12 . The finger protection structure according to  claim 10 , wherein the assembly of finger protection structure and the securing member is assembled at an external backside of the glove. 
     
     
         13 . The finger protection structure according to  claim 10 , wherein the assembly of finger protection structure and the securing member is assembled at an external front side of the glove. 
     
     
         14 . The finger protection structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the widened strip member can be cut for achieving a desired width. 
     
     
         15 . The finger protection structure according to  claim 1 , wherein each engagement block comprises an engagement portion adapted for engaging with a corresponding one of the bottom edges of the fixing portions. 
     
     
         16 . The finger protection structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the engagement blocks and the fixing portions are tightly arranged in close contact in a row for restricting the protection strip unit from reverse bending.
