page_text: I, HENRY URWICK of Saint Dunstans, Malvern in the County of Worcester,
Glove Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of the invention is to enable the wearer of a glove to tighten up the
glove around his wrist to any extent he may desire.-The glove I form without
any front slit at the wrist but make the glove at the wrist of sufficient width to
allow it to be drawn freely on to the hand.
To one side of the glove at the wrist I secure one end of a band-this band
I lead across the front of the glove and pass it through a metallic eye secured to
the opposite side of the glove and then lead the band back and secure it to a clip
or slide which can be slidden to and fro freely along the band but yet will remain
in any position into which it may be drawn so that the band can be tightened up
across the wrist to any extent desired or loosened when the glove is to be taken
off The drawing annexed shews a glove formed in the above manner.
A is the band secured at one end to one side of the wrist of the glove-B is the
loop secured to the opposite side of the wrist-C is a slide capable of being slidden
along the band A.-The end of the band is secured to the bar C¹ of this slide.
D Dare tabs secured to the end bars of the slide-by means of these tabs the slide
can be drawn to and fro.
I do not restrict myself to the use of this particular form of slide as clips or
slides of other kinds may be employed to effect the same object.

page_text: I, HENRY URWICK of Saint Dunstans, Malvern in the County of Worcester,
Glove Manufacturer 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 :-
The object of the invention is to enable the wearer of a glove to tighten up the
glove around his wrist to any extent he may desire. The glove I form without
any front slit at the wrist .but make the glove at the wrist of sufficient width to
allow it to be drawn freely on to the hand.
To one side of the glove at the wrist I secure one end of a band-this band
I lead across the front of the glove and pass it through a metallic eye secured to
the opposite side of the glove and then lead the band back and secure it to a clip
or slide which can be drawn freely to or fro along the first mentioned portion of
the band which passes across the glove if it be itself drawn directly either in the
one direction or the other but which yet will not shift its position along the band
for any strain which may come upon it through the band itself-so that in this
way by drawing the clip or slide either in one direction or the other the band can
be tightened up across the wrist to any extent desired or can be slackened when
the glove is to be taken off.
The drawing annexed shows a glove formed in the above manner.
Figure 1 is a face view of the glove.
Figure 2 is a cross section taken through the line 1. 1. Figure 1 and Figure 3 a
face view of the metallic slide which I prefer to use.
A is the band secured at one end A' to one side of the wrist of the glove. B is
the metallic loop secured to the opposite side of the wrist. C is a metallic slide.
It is formed of a metallic plate having oblong parallel slots cut in it leaving a
number of parallel bars. The band A. is led over the central bar Ct and under the
others it is then led through the loop B.and back again to the slide C and is
secured at its end to the central bar Ci. DD are tabs secured to the end bars C
of the slide. The tabs are used for drawing the slide to and fro either in one
direction or the other as desired.
I do not restrict myself to the use of the particular form of slide shown in the
drawing as slides of other form might be employed to effect the same object.
In ladies gloves in which the wrist piece is prolonged so as to extend a distance
along the arm the band may be placed at the end of the arm piece to come
just below the elbow-in this case the gloves may be tightened up at the wrist by
a second band or by buttoning or in other suitable ways.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1. A glove with a band fastened to it on one side of the wrist or arm piece
which band after being passed through an eye secured to the other side is led
back and secured to a clip or slide which can be drawn freely along the band if it
•

page_text: be itself drawn in the direction required but not otherwise so that the glove.when
on can be reduced in size at the wrist or at the end of the arm piece substantially
as described.
2. A glove with one end of a band fastened to it on one side at the wrist or
arm piece and a metallic eye or loop fastened to it on the opposite side, and with a
slide with cross bars under and over which the band is first led then through the
eye or loop and then back and secured at its end to the slide substantially as
described.
