Gloves have been adapted for many purposes, including without limitation, for protection from cold, heat, friction, and harmful substances; for hygiene and contamination protection, for improving grip or reducing friction, or for a plurality of such purposes. Wristbands are encircling strips worn around a user's wrist and have also been adapted for many purposes, including for perspiration control, identification or information presentation, and social function.
  • In some sports, it is common to see participants wear gloves and/or wristband while playing. In American football for example, many players were gloves to assist with grip and for protection from cold. Wristbands are also commonly worn in football for perspiration control and for information presentation. Despite the structure of conventional gloves and wristbands used in football, a problem which still exists is players often still have a difficult time holding or catching the ball. Throughout a game, it is not uncommon to see players make mistakes while attempting to catch a pass or fumble a ball that they are holding. Thus, there remains a need for a grip enhancing hand and wrist covering which includes a plurality of suction cups to assist in holding or catching a ball. It would be helpful if such a hand and wrist covering was configured as two discrete coverings which were removably attachable to one another. It would be additionally desirable for such a hand and wrist covering to assist players during their developmental stage to improve their skill in securing the ball.
  • The Applicant's invention described herein provides for a hand and wrist covering for improving a user's ability to grip a ball. The primary components of Applicant's grip enhancing hand and wrist covering are a glove component, a wrist component, and a plurality of suction cups. When in operation, the hand and wrist covering allows a user to catch and/or hold a ball by increasing a user's gripping power. As a result, many of the limitations imposed by conventional gloves and wristbands are removed.
