Complete Specification Left, 9th Aug., 1900-Accepted, 27th Oct., 1900
I, HENRI HAUSTGEN, Glove Manufacturer, of 9 and 11, Rue du Mail, Paris,
France, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates particularly to that kind of glove which is worn by
ladies and comprises a more or less long sleeve covering the arm almost com
pletely.
As hitherto made, that kind of glove is produced from one single piece of
leather or rather it is in one piece.
The object I have in view is to produce a similar kind of glove, but to so
form it that, instead of being in one piece, it is in two distinct parts, the one
being formed of the glove proper which fits the hand, and the other being
formed of the sleeve which fits or covers the arm, both parts being capable of
being readily connected or disconnected, at the will of the lady wearing the
glove, so that the glove may be worn with or without a sleeve, as desired.
One advantage of a glove so made is that the glove proper, besides being
interchangeable, can be replaced by a new one when it has been worn for a
sufficient time, the sleeve or manchette so-called remaining the same. Another
advantage is that the sleeve not being subject to the same wear as the glove
proper, can be put to longer use, in view of which it can be made of a different
material from that constituting the glove proper; for instance, instead of being
made of leather, it can be formed of lace or any other preferred material and be
ornamented or not with beads for enhancing the elegance of the article.

Improved Kind of Glove.
I, HENRI HAUSTGEN, Glove Manufacturer, of 9 and 11, Rue du Mail, Paris,
France, 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 relates particularly to that kind of glove which is worn by

As hitherto made, that kind of glove is produced from one single piece of
leather or rather it is in one piece.
The object I have in view is to produce a similar kind of glove, but to so
form it that, instead of being in one piece, it is in two distinct parts, the one
being formed of the glove proper which fits the hand and the other being formed
of the sleeve which fits or covers the arm, both parts being capable of being
readily connected or disconnected, at the will of the lady wearing the glove, so
that the glove may be worn with or without a sleeve, as desired.
In the accompanying drawing, I have shown, by way of an example, a glove
which may be termed a "compound glove," made in accordance with this inven-
tion.
The glove a is the glove proper, of any approved style, and is the sleeve
which may also be of any approved style, whether leather, lace or any other
material. In the drawing, the sleeve b is shown as made of lace to which beads
are sewn as ornaments thereto. One end of the sleeve b is provided with the
usual elastic band c by which the sleeve can be fastened to the arm of the lady
wearing the glove.
In order to connect the glove a to the sleeve b, I have shown the usual style of
buttons generally in use on gloves, such buttons being each formed of two
parts, of which one is secured to the glove and the other to an elastic band e
fastened to the sleeve. But it is obvious that this style of button may be re-
placed by any other suitable kind of fastening known.
One advantage of a glove so made is that the glove proper, besides being
interchangeable, can be replaced by a new one when it has been worn for a
Another
sufficient time, the sleeve or manchette socalled remaining the same.
advantage is that the sleeve, not being subject to the same wear as the glove
proper, can be put to longer use, in view of which it can be made of a different
material from that constituting the glove proper; for instance, instead of being
made of leather, it can, as already stated, be formed of lace or any, other pre-
ferred material and be ornamented or not with beads for enhancing the elegance
of the article.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
The hereinbefore described improved glove composed of two distinct parts
capable of being readily connected or disconnected, substantially as shown and for
the purpose set forth."
