A glove for assisting the user to catch a thrown object with fingers rather than
palms, including pressure sensors installed in the palm area of typical receiver
gloves (providing a voltage trigger signal used to latch an indicator LED informing
the athlete of palm contact, together with flex sensors in the fingers deactivating
the palm pressure sensor when at least one of the user's fingers is flexed inwardly
toward the palm (preventing an inadvertent palm pressure trigger signal from locking
in the LED prior to a catch attempt). This allows the athlete to run with fists
closed without latching the palm pressure indicator, then to open his or her hands,
thereby enabling the latch circuit for the catch.
