PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Gloves.
We, HENRY AUGUSTUS HAIMES and KATE MARY HAIMES, trading as
T. Haines & Co. of Castle Mills, Melbourne, in the county of Derby, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to produce a glove specially adapted for use in hot
climates and also valuable to ladies who are in the habit of engaging in any recreative
pastime during the summer months as well as for those whose hands have a tendency
to perspiration.
For this purpose we utilize a fabric heretofore used for surgical purposes such as
suspenders, elastic-stockings and bandages, but which as far as we are aware has
never been employed in the manufacture of gloves.
The fabric is of a porous or gauze like character, being full of eyelet holes and
open-worked or honey-combed in such a manner as to constitute a ventilated glove
it can also be made of silk, cotton or woollen yarn or thread and when necessary of
a washable material.
The fabric is produced in lengths upon a warp machine and can be readily made
by any one versed in the art of working such machines.
In order to convert the fabric into gloves, it is cut out by glove stamps or knives
and the resulting shaped fabric is made up in the manner well-known employed in
connection with silk taffeta gloves.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Gloves.
We, HENRY AUGUSTUS HAIMES and KATE MARY HAIMES, trading as
T. Haimes & Co. of Castle Mills, Melbourne, Derbyshire, 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 :-
This invention has reference to thread or fabric gloves and the object of the
invention is to produce gloves specially adapted for wear in hot climates and also
valuable to ladies who are in the habit of engaging in any recreative pastime during
the summer months, as well as for those whose hands have a tendency to
perspiration.
For this purpose we employ a fabric known in the trade and technically termed
"Truss Net" fabric, which is a fabric not heretofore used in the manufacture of
gloves, and of a porous or gauze-like character, full of eyelet holes and open-worked
or honeycombed in such a manner as to constitute a ventilated glove and therefore
much cooler in wear than gloves of ordinary manufacture.
The fabric may be produced upon a warp knitting machine of ordinary construction,
and in order that any one versed in the art of working such machines may readily
understand the fabric referred to, the following description of its manufacture is
furnished.
We employ, preferably, a warp knitting machine of ordinary construction, with
two guide bars each carrying a series of guides or thread layers, shogging or moving
laterally simultaneously in opposite directions during the production of each course
in the fabric.

page_text: Each guide laps the thread over two needles before the latter are pressed and the
stitches knocked over; the two guide bars then shog one needle space to the right
and left respectively and lap over one of the two needles of the last course and the
next adjacent needle, so that the thread guides each lap two needles every course,
i.e. the two guide bars lap the same two needles at alternate courses in the fabric.
The effect of the operation just described as will be well understood by those
practically acquainted with warp knitting frames will be to produce an open-worked
or eyelet-holed fabric.
The fabric which is produced in lengths upon a warp machine may be of silk,
cotton or woollen yarn or thread and when necessary of a washable material.
In order to convert the fabric into gloves it is cut out by glove stamps or knives
and the resultant shaped fabric is made up in the manner well known and employed
in connection with silk taffeta or other fabric gloves.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is
The manufacture of gloves of a porous or gauze-like fabric such as is technically
known as $$
Truss Net" fabric manufactured substantially in the manner and for the
purpose herein before described.
