Patent ID: 7320145

Claim:
A reinforcement ( 2 ) for a glove ( 17 ), particularly a goalkeeper glove comprising: a) an arrangement ( 3 ) of several first elements connected to each other ( 3 a to 3 f ), b) several second elements ( 4 a to 4 f ), that are so connected with the arrangement ( 3 ) of first elements ( 3 a to 3 f , that at least two stopping surfaces ( 14 , 15 ) are configured at least between two neighboring second elements ( 3 a to 3 f ), c) wherein the arrangement ( 3 ) of first elements ( 3 a to 3 f ) is flexible in a forwards movement from an essentially extended state into a curved state, and in a backwards movement from the curved state to the extended state, d) wherein in the curved state one interspace each ( 11 , 32 ) is configured d1) and between neighboring first elements ( 3 a to 3 f ) one interspace each ( 16 ) is configured d2), and between the stopping surfaces ( 14 , 15 ) of neighboring second elements ( 4 a to 4 f ) e) wherein in the extended state, the stopping surfaces ( 14 , 15 ) of neighboring second elements ( 4 a to 4 f ) at least partially touch the other and therewith further counteract backwards movement.
