Glove with writing on hook and loop

A glove having a flap closure attachable to the glove body using hook and loop fastener material both on the flap and the glove body. A writing appears on the outside of the flap closure and a writing appears on or within the fastener material attached to the glove body and obscured when the flap is closed.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
It has been proposed to imprint with paste hook and loop materials (U.S. 
Pat. No. 4,734,298) and it has been the practice to imprint the outer 
surface of a golf closure strap; however, imprinting of glove closures as 
herein described has not heretofore been proposed. 
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
Broadly, the present invention comprises a glove having a body section 
divided in the back into portions for ready insertion of the hand in which 
the hook and loop flap carries a writing on the outside of the flap and a 
writing on the hook and loop material hidden when the flap is in the 
closed position. 
It is a feature that the hook and loop material positioned below the flap, 
when closed, may be transparent to make the writing more visible.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
Referring to FIGS. 1-4, leather glove 10, i.e. a golf glove, has glove body 
11, back body portion 12 which comprises two sections 12a, 12b separated 
by back opening 14 and finger casings 16a-d. Gloves may also be made of 
synthetic materials or a combination of leather and synthetic material. 
Back opening 14 eases pulling glove 10 on the wearer's hand. Once the hand 
is inside glove 10, adjustable closure 20 is closed. Closure 20 includes 
hook or loop pad 21 made of a transparent hook or loop material so that 
writing on the back of pad 21, such as logo FJ in a circle, is visible. In 
the present embodiment, transparent pad 21 consists of pad base 21b 
comprised of transparent material such as vinyl or nylon and hooks 21h. 
The side opposite hooks 21h, side 21s on FIGS. 3 and 4, of pad base 21b is 
printed with FJ and a circle with the F and J being backward so that when 
pad base 21b is attached to glove body 11, the backward F and J appear 
forward and correct in FIG. 2. Closure 20 also includes swingable hook or 
loop closure flap 22 having outside leather surface 22a with another 
writing such as ABC Corp. on it. The inside surface 22b with no writing on 
it carries in this embodiment loops 22l. Closure 20 may have hook material 
on inside surface 22b and loop material on pad 21.
