PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Gloves.
We, SAMUEL REGINALD CONWAY, and JOHN SAMUEL WHITE, trading as
Wall, Heafield & Co., both of 39 Wood Street, Cheapside, in the City of London,
Glove Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The invention has for its object improvements in gloves whereby the top of the
glove on the inside or palm thereof, and if desired also on the back, is strengthened
so as to prevent tearing or injury to the glove when pulling it on by the top.
For this purpose we attach an extra piece of material to the top of the glove on
We
the inside or palm thereof and extending to a short distance below the slit.
also by preference, cut such extra piece of width sufficient to extend to the side
seam and to the "crease of the glove, and we sew it in with such side seam and
in the seam around the top of the thumb. Such extra piece may be placed either
on the interior or on the exterior of the general body of the glove and those
portions extending along the crease " and from the thumb across the palm to the
side seam are preferably secured to the main body of the glove by a double row of
stitching. If desired the back of the top of the glove may be similarly strengthened,
in which case the lower edge of the additional piece of material will be stitched to
the main body of the back across the same in a line of any desired shape.
*
Such additional piece or pieces may however be made somewhat short of the
thumb and side seam and simply be sewn to the general body of the glove without
being sewn in with the said thumb and side seam.

We, SAMUEL REGINALD CONWAY and JOHN SAMUEL WHITE, trading as
Wall, Heafield & Co., both of 39 Wood Street, Cheapside, in the City of London,
Glove Manufacturers, 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 invention has for its object improvements in gloves whereby the top of the
glove, on the inside or palm thereof and, if desired, also on the back, is strengthened
so as to prevent tearing or injury to the glove when pulling it on by the top.
We
For this purpose we attach an extra piece of material to the top of the glove on
the inside or palm thereof and extending to a short distance below the slit.
also, by preference, cut such extra piece of width sufficient to extend to the side
seam and to the " crease "of the glove, and we sew it in with such side seam and
in the seam around the top of the thumb. Such extra piece may be placed either
on the interior or on the exterior of the general body of the glove, and those
portions extending along the "crease and from the thumb across the palm to the

If desired the back of the top of the glove may be similarly strengthened, in

page_text: which case the lower edge of the additional piece of material will be stitched to
the main body of the back across the same in a line of any desired shape.
Such additional piece or pieces may however be made somewhat short of the
thumb and side seam and simply be sewn to the general body of the glove without
being sewn in with the said thumb and side seam.
And in order that our said invention may be more clearly understood and readily
carried into effect, we will proceed aided by the accompanying drawings, more fully
to describe the same.
The drawing represents the inside or palm of a glove provided with our
improvement.
و,
The general body of the glove is made in any usual or well known manner, but,
according to our invention, we attach an extra piece a of material to the top of the
glove on the inside or palm thereof and extending to a short distance below the
slit b. We also, by preference, cut such extra piece a of width sufficient to extend
to the side seam c and to the "crease d of the glove, and we sew it in with such
side seam and in the seam e around the top of the thumb. Such extra piece a may
be placed either on the interior or exterior of the general body of the glove, and
those portions extending along the " crease d and from the thumb across the
palm to the side seam c are preferably secured to the main body of the glove by a
double row of stitching.
"
If desired the back of the top of the glove may be similarly strengthened, in
which case the lower edge of the additional piece of material will be stitched to
the main body of the back, across the same, in a line of any desired shape. We
have not however thought it necessary to show this latter application in the
drawing, as, aided by the description above given, such addition will be readily
understood.
The additional piece or pieces a may however be made somewhat short of the
thumb and of the side seam c, and simply be sewn to the general body of the glove,
without being sewn in with the said thumb and side seam.
The additional piece or pieces a may be made of like material to that of the
general body of the glove, or it or they may be of different material.
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 strengthening of gloves by the application to the tops thereof of an additional
piece or pieces of material, substantially as herein shown and described.
