Improvements in the Manufacture of Friction, Flesh, or Bath
Gloves for the Bath, or for other Purposes.
I, JAMES Fox of Stanley House Mary street Harpurhey Manchester in the County
of Lancaster Silk Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
My Invention consists in the manufacture of a seamless Friction Flesh or Bath
glove for the bath skin or for other purposes, this glove produces a friction on the
skin thereby opening the pores leaving the skin smooth and producing a heat to
the surface thereby preventing chills, and will not injure the most delicate or tender
skin.
:
For the production or manufacture of same the glove may be woven knitted or
crochetted with a half round or round braid or cord, what I mean by half round braid
is a braid known in the trade by what is termed "Russia Braid "the braid or cord is
made with what is termed a gut of any kind of material in the centre and platted or
twisted round with Cotton Worsted Silk or any other material.
I also claim to make these gloves with or without a seam or with or without gut in
the Braid or Cord.

I JAMES Fox, Silk Manufacturer, Stanley House, Mary street, Harpurhey,
Manchester in the county of Lancaster do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The essential features of my invention lie in the production or manufacture of a
seamless flesh, bath, or friction glove from a round cord which may be either twisted
or plaited and made either with or without gut in the centre, or from a braid usually
made with a double gut known in the trade as "Russia-Braid " but which also may
be made without gut, the gut may be made of cotton, or other suitable material,
plaited or twisted round with polished cotton, soft cotton, worsted, silk, linen, or
other suitable material.
I prefer to use the braid called "Russia Braid" with double gut of cotton plaited
over with polished cotton, or linen; gloves made from this material do not cause the
cold clammy sensation when brought in contact with the skin, which is common with
ordinary bath gloves.
By my invention the gloves manufactured from the braid or cord are woven, or
knitted, or crotcheted either by hand or by inachine, and may be made with or without
These gloves may be used for the bath or skin, or for any other purpose
where friction is required.
a seam.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is.-
1. The production or manufacture from braid or cord of a Flesh, Bath, or Friction
Glove, with or without a seam substantially as and for the purposes described.
2. I also claim to make these gloves with a braid or cord, plaited or twisted with
material as described and made either with or without gut, substantially as and for the
purposes described.
