A second rib row 32 is arranged at lower section of the index finger 22, the middle finger 23, the third finger 24, and the fourth finger 25, near the palm portion of the glove. A third rib row 33 is formed across the upper portion of the palm surface. A fourth rib row 34 is formed across at a middle portion of the palm surface. A fifth rib row 35 formed across at a lower portion of the palm surface with an end extending to the second knuckle portion of the thumb 21.

Fig. 3B shows the rib may be in a form of triangle type rib with a smooth tip. Fig. 3C shows the rib may be in a form of rectangular type rib with smooth edges. Fig. 3D shows the rib may be in a form of slant triangle type rib.

[0012] It is to be understood that the above description and drawings are only used for illustrating some embodiments of the present invention, not intended to limit the scope thereof. Any variation and derivation from the above description and drawings should be included in the scope of the present invention.
