Improvements in Gloves and in the Manufacture of the same.
HERBERT HAMBRIDGE Glove Manufacturer 40 Hendford Hill Yeovil in the
County of Somerset do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
For an improved system of cutting the material of which gloves are to be made
and thus securing greater simplicity and neatness in the finish of the said gloves
by cutting the material for back of hand and the thumb completely covering the
wrist all in one piece of material with but one seam as set forth in drawing Fig. 1
then cutting a separate piece to fit or form the palm of hand Fig. 2 and another
piece to form the under part of thumb Fig. 7 this piece may be varied in shape
also to apply the usual fourchettes between the fingers as Fig. 8 or I may put
pieces called the quirks Fig. 10 the palm may be cut entirely of different material
to that which back of hand is cut from.
I may thus cut the palm from kid or leather and apply the same to a silk or any
other fabrick glove as Fig. 5 or I may cut the back portion of glove from thin kid
or leather and apply a very stout leather for the palin forming a Tilbury or driving
glove to which give the name of The Blackmoore Vale Hunting Glove. Gloves
cut on this principal may be worn with or without buttons or fastenings or if
desired can be made as Fig. 6 with strips of elastic sewn inside wrist of glove
causing the same to fit tightly round the wrist may also be made as Fig. 11 in form
of a gauntlett glove.
My invention also relates to the manufacture of a purse gauntlett glove, Fig. 12,
which I make in the following manner by placing a purse to the wrist of either
hand the same forming a spring clasp or fastening to the gauntlett or wrist part
of the glove.
The fastening I apply as Fig. 13, is made with a spiral spring inside a tube thus
forming a catch or lock in centre the same being pressed at either end causing
the purse to open or close same time acting as a fastening to keep the gauntlett or
wrist part of glove closed by means of a link plate been attached to the thumb side
of glove this part requires to be pressed into the lock which close the glove as
before stated I also attach a metal rim or fastening to gussett for the inside part of
purse.
This purse may be applyed to any other form of glove besides a gauntlett to
which I give the name of The Double Spring Lock Purse Gauntlett Glove inside
of which glove will be stamped with a design or mark.
Dated the 24th August 1891.
