Year: 1888

page_text: I, MARY WEDLAKE, of 8 Berkeley Road, Regents Park, in the County of
Middlesex, Gentlewoman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :-
In the months of August, September and October 1885, I invented certain
improvements in connection with "fabric" gloves by preparing and placing on
the ends of the fingers and thumbs pieces of kid or other leather as tips or caps
thereto.
My Invention will be understood from the following:
In woven or what are termed "fabric" gloves a great evil is experienced in that
the ends of the thumbs and fingers thereof are abraded and chafed through before the
remaining portions of the said gloves are worn out.
Now the object of this my Invention is to remedy this evil and so to construct and
form gloves that the ends of the thumbs and fingers thereof shall not be so quickly
abraded and chafed through and therefore worn out.
To carry out this object I place on the ends of the thumbs and fingers of the gloves,
tips or caps, preferably of kid or other leather which may extend as far along
the said thumbs and fingers as may be desirable, and may be ornamented as
required.
These tips or caps may be placed over the material of which the glove is made and
be secured thereto in any ornamental or other manner or the material of which the
glove is made may be cut away and removed where these tips or caps are to be
placed, in which case the said tips or caps made in any desired thickness are secured
to the said material at the junctions of the several parts by sewing or in other desirable
or usual manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this Invention,
I declare that what I claim is :-
1. Affixing kid or other soft leather as tips or caps on the fingers and thumbs of
woven or other "fabric" gloves as and for the purpose sot forth.
2. The manufacture of a combination glove in which the body, the hand portion,
the fingers, and the thumb are of woven material, the ends of the fingers and thumb
being of leather sewn on or otherwise applied thereto, as and for the purpose or
purposes described.

RES
I, MARY WEDLAKE, of 8 Berkeley Road, Regents Park, in the County of
Middlesex, Gentlewoman do hereby declare the nature of my said Invention to be as
follows:-
In the months of August, September, and October 1885 I invented certain
improvements in connection with "fabric" gloves by preparing and placing on the
ends of the fingers and thumbs, pieces of kid or other leather as tips or caps thereto.
My Invention will be understood from the following:
In gloves a great evil is experienced in that the ends of the thumbs and fingers
thereof are abraded and chafed through, before the remaining portions of the said
gloves are worn out, which evil is especially to be noticed in gloves that are made of
some textile fabric, such for example as silk, cotton, or wool fabrics. Now the object
of this my Invention is to remedy this evil, and so to construct and form gloves that
the ends of the thumbs and fingers thereof shall not be so quickly abraded and chafed
through and therefore worn out.
To carry out this object I place on the ends of the thumbs and fingers of the gloves,
tips or caps preferably of kid or other leather, which may extend as far along the said
thumbs, and fingers, as may be desirable, and may be ornamented as required.
These tips or caps may be placed over the material of which the glove is made, and.
be secured thereto in any ornamental or other manner; or the material of which the.
glove is made may be cut away and removed, where these tips or caps are to be
placed, in which case, the said tips or caps made in any desired thickness are secured
to the said material at the junctions of the several parts by sewing or in other
desirable or usual manner..
