CA 2295847

This invention relates to a thumb protector for a protective athletic glove, such as used in hockey, lacrosse, and motorcycle racing. The thumb protector involves two elements (20, 40) secured dorsally to the thumb stall (200) and thumb receiving area (100) of the glove, which cooperate to allow opposable thumb movement while still providing superior protection against external blows and injury due to hyper-extention and over-extention. As another aspect of the invention, the thumb-piece (20) of the thumb protector is ergonomically configured to approximate the contour of the metacarpalphalangeal joint typically assumed when the wearer is lightly gripping an athletic stick or handlebar.

L'invention concerne une protection de pouce pour un gant de sport protecteur, du type utilisé en hockey, "lacrosse", ou pour des courses de moto. Cette protection de pouce est constituée de deux éléments (20, 40), fixés sur le dessus d'un logement pour le pouce (200), et d'une zone (100) destinée à loger ce pouce. Cette zone et ces éléments coopèrent afin de permettre un mouvement du pouce opposable, tout en constituant une protection optimale contre les coups et lésions extérieurs, dus à une hyperextension du pouce. Selon un autre aspect de cette invention, l'un desdits éléments (20) de cette protection de pouce est ergonomique, afin de suivre le contour de l'articulation métacarpo-phalangienne telle qu'elle se présente généralement lorsque l'utilisateur saisit normalement une crosse ou un guidon.
