COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Glove for Use in Gardening and other Purposes.
I EDMUND LAMPRELL of Turneston in the County of Buckingham postal
town, Brackley, Gentleman, 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 as worn on the hands and consists in forming the
palms or portions of the palms and parts of the fingers as well as the fourchettes
and the thumbs of a flexible waterproof material.
In gardening and many other occupations and amusements, the palms and fingers
of the hands come into contact with wet or damp substances or materials and my
glove which is called the "Woodstock Gardening Glove" is intended to prevent
such contact by the interposition of the before mentioned flexible waterproof
material which forins the palins or portions of the palms, the thumbs and portions
of the fingers of the glove. The backs and other parts may be formed of any
suitable material soft leather being preferred, and in general the slit and button by
means of which the glove is fastened is disposed at the back of the same but they
may be placed in the frout as is commonly done.
In order that my invention may be fully understood I append a sheet of drawings
in which :-
Figure 1. is a front or palm view of a glove according to my invention.
Figure 2. is a view of the back of the same.
Figure 3. is front or palm view of a modified form of glove.
In Figure 1. the whole of the palm A the front and the fourchettes of the
fingers are formed of waterproof material as in the whole of the thumb C. while
the backs D. in which the slit d is cut, and to which the button d' is fastened are
made of leather, doeskin, or other soft and yielding material. By this system of
manufacture it will be seen that all the parts of the hand which grasp the wet, or
damp materials or substances are protected from wet.
Figure 2 shews the back of the same glove in which the whole of the back D is
formed of some soft and flexible material such as leather. d shews the slit
and d the button for fastening the same. are the fourchettes of waterproof
material.
In Figure 3 the same arrangement of parts exists except that the back D of soft
material is continued round so as to form a part D' of the palm, such part being
that which by reason of its proximity to the wrist, is unlikely to come into contact
with any wet substance or material.
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. A glove having waterproof parts substantially as described and shewn.
2. A glove having all the parts which are in contact with any substance grasped
by the hand of the wearer formed of waterproof materials, while the other parts
are of softer material substantially as described and shewn.
