Abstract
A safety glove for use by people engaged in active sports or in industrial job activities to protect against hyperextension of ligaments and tendons in the wrist. The glove includes a body having palm and back portions joined to fit about the hand. An inelastic wrist strap is attached at its proximal end to the body and extends along a length sufficient to wrap about the person's wrist in the range of one and one-half to substantially three turns, depending upon the requirements of the particular sports or job activity. Finger receptacles are formed for receiving the thumb and fingers of the person's hand. In one embodiment the strap tapers from an enlarged proximal end to a smaller width at the distal end. In another embodiment the strap is of substantially uniform width along its length.
