That is to say with a view, to render it a matter of impossibility for the protective
ridges or guards becoming detached, I proceed as follows; viz.:-The protective
ridge or guard pieces, are each provided with a flat base piece of rubber or any
other suitable material, preferably with lateral projecting flanges to serve as the
means of attachment to the glove. Said attachment being effected by the sewing,
riveting, or cementing of said base portion, to the back of the glove.

provide effectually against the detachment of the protective ridges from the glove;
but, I am also enabled to enhance both the protection, and the comfort of the
wearer.
