PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Fastener for Gloves and the like.
I, PHILIP MARCHINGTON, of Beech Road, Cale Green, Stockport, in the
County of Chester, Salesman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention is designed to provide a simple cheap and efficient fastener for
gloves and the like. Hitherto most of these fasteners have been made with a
pivoted hook or clasp which necessitated a number of pieces requiring to be
fastened or arranged together.
This invention consists essentially of a spring hook firmly rivetted to or
stamped out of a metal plate to be attached to one side of the glove in combination
with a ring eyelet or equivalent appliance to be attached to the other side of the
glove.
In carrying out the invention I stamp out from sheet metal or otherwise form a
hook with a base plate. The hook is preferably of long or bill shape curved
downwards or inwards near the point so as to approach nearly to the base plate
the extreme point being turned outwards again. It is preferably made of material
sufficiently thin and elastic to allow of a certain amount of spring.
The hook may if desired be made of two parts rivetted or otherwise attached
together or of wire or other metal bent to the desired shape but at present I prefer
to make it stamped out of sheet metal.
A ring or eyelet is formed to be attached to the opposite edge of the garment
and passes in under the edge of the hook and should be of sufficient depth or
thickness as to require some slight pressure to cause it to spring open and pass the
end of the hook.
A fastening of this construction will be found cheap to construct and will be
quick and expeditious in use.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Fastener for Gloves and the like.
1, PHILIP MARCHINGTON, of Beech Road, Cale Green, Stockport, in the
County of Chester, Salesman, 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 is designed to provide a simple, cheap and efficient fastener for
gloves and the like. Hitherto most of these fasteners have been made with a
pivoted hook or clasp which necessitated a number of pieces requiring to be
fastened or arranged together.
This invention consists essentially of a spring hook firmly rivetted to or
stamped out of a metal plate to be attached to one side of the glove in combination
with a ring eyelet or equivalent appliance to be attached to the other side of the
glove.
It will be fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

page_text: Fig. 2. Longitudinal section through a glove.
Fig. 3. Plan when in position on a glove.
Fig. 4. Extended blank from which the hook is formed.
Fig. 5. Modified form of hook.
The fastener I stamp out from sheet metal in the form of a hook with a base
plate by which it is attached to the material of the glove. The part a is turned
back to form the hook and from the base plate bare stamped two or more
projecting pins c which enter the material and are clenched down thereon to hold
.the appliance in position. For light er soft material it is better to insert a metal
plate e over which the pins c are bent. Instead of the pins c holes may be formed
and the fastener stitched to the glove.
Referring to Fig. 5 a fastener is shown with a hook a of long or bill shape
curved downwards or inwards near the point so as to approach nearly to the base
plate the extreme point being turned outwards again. It is preferably made of
material sufficiently thin and elastic to allow of a certain amount of spring.
A ring or eyelet d is attached to the opposite edge of the glove and passes in
under the edge of the hook a and should be of sufficient depth or thickness to fill
the space between the hook a and the base plate b.
A fastening of this construction will be found cheap to construct and will be
quick and expeditious in use.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A fastener for gloves and the like consisting of a hook a, a base plate b with
or without attaching pins c, in combination with a ring or eyelet 6 substantially as
described and shown.
2. A fastener for gloves and the like constructed substantially as herein described
and shown.
