COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Gloves, Mittens, or the like.
I, MILTON STUART of Woodland House, Seaforth, in the County of Lancaster,
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 to gloves or mittens, more especially to ladies' gloves, and it
has for its object the providing such articles with pockets or purses, within which
money, tickets or the like may be safely carried.
The purse or pocket is preferably placed in the palm of the glove, so as to be out
of sight as much as possible, and it is provided with a flap or cover and suitable
fastening device. The mouth of the pocket or purse may be placed in any
convenient position, so as to be readily accessible.
Referring to the drawings:
:-
Figure 1 is an elevation, looking towards the palm, of a glove provided with my
device.
Figure 2 is a section on line xx, Figure 1 showing the purse partly open.
A represents the kid or other material of which the glove proper is composed. A
crescent shaped slit (or slit of other convenient shape) is cut in the palm, and the
purse B, which is a simple bag, is placed inside the glove in such a manner that its
top edges 6 register with the said slit. The top edges 6 of the purse and the edges a
of the slit are united together, either by sewing or, preferably, as shown, by being
clamped together or gripped between the flanges of the metallic rim CC, which is
thus secured to the glove. This rim is formed in two parts CC, hinged together
at c, as is usual in purses of this description, and is made of flanged metal having
preferably a U-shape in cross section (see Figure 2) so as to be readily attached to
the leather or other material by pressing the edges of the rim flanges together with
the material between them. The rim can, however, be of any suitable shape in cross
section and can be stitched or riveted to the glove and purse. The clasp D, of the
rim, may be of any ordinary construction,

page_text: It will be obvious that forms of rim and clasp other than those shown could be
used. I prefer to provide only the left hand glove with a pocket, but, if desired, the
other or both gloves may have one. The lower end of the purse B may be stitched
to the glove, if desirable.
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 combination of a glove having a slit in the palm, a pocket located within
the glove with its mouth coincident with said slit, and a fastening device for said
pocket, substantially as described.
2. The combined glove and clasp purse constructed as a whole substantially as
described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
Dated this 25th day of March 1890.
