Complete Specification Left, 24th Aug., 1895-Accepted, 28th Sept., 1895
I, FRANCIS HEAFIELD, of 34 Milson Street, Bath, in the County of
Somerset, Glove Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This invention has for its object, improvements in gloves, to permit a seamless
forcep or shape of material to be inserted between the fingers of a glove at the
insides in place of the ordinary joined forcep or shape now in common use.
The sides and base of the sheath for each finger is cut in one piece; that is, the
whole side of the first finger running from the top, downwards, between and up
the side of the second finger, and so on between each of the four fingers of a glove
throughout.
The object of this invention is to prevent a seam giving or becoming disunited,
as often takes place with gloves having the forceps with seams at the base or
thereabouts.
Riding, driving or any other gloves may be constructed with the seamless
forcep.

Improvements in Gloves.
I. FRANCIS HEAFIELD, of 34 Milson Street, Bath, in the County of
Somerset, 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 :-
This invention has for its object, improvements in gloves, to permit a seamless
forchette or shape of material to be inserted between the fingers of a glove at the
insides in place of the ordinary joined forchette or shape now in common use.
I attain this object by the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawing,
in which-
Fig. 1, is a view of the back of the glove with the sheaths of the third and
fourth fingers turned outwards in order to show the seamless forchette or shape.
Fig. 2, is the seamless forchette or shape in the flat drawn to an enlarged scale
and broken off at the ends.
The forchette or shape a, or the sides and base of the sheath c for each finger of
the glove is cut in one piece; that is, the whole side of the first finger running
from the top, downwards, between and up the side of the second finger, and so on
between each of the four fingers of a glove throughout.
The object of this invention is to prevent a seam giving or becoming disunited,
as often takes place with gloves having the ordinary forceps or forchette with
seams at the base or thereabouts. Also to give a better and neater fit when on the
hand of the wearer.

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 :-

and a seamless forchette or shape of material inserted between the four fingers at
the insides of the sheaths, substantially as herein described and according to the
accompanying drawing.
2. The sides and base of the sheath for each finger of a glove cut in one piece,
that is, the whole side of the first finger running from the top, downwards, between

a glove throughout, substantially as described.
