1 FREDERICK RICHARD LANGE of 23 New Cannon Street Manchester in the
County of Lancaster, Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention relates especially to ladies' gloves manufactured from silk, Lisle
thread, cotton, and woollen fabrics, the object of the invention being to provide
such gloves which are made without buttons or similar fastenings with a device to
cause the said gloves to retain their position upon the wrist and arm of the
wearer without slipping down in creases.
For this purpose we attach at the front of the wrist two short straps of suitable
width.
The free ends of these straps are provided with suitable means for readily
fastening the same together and adjusting them to fit the wrist of the wearer, and
it will be found that the application of these straps will prevent the arm or
gauntlet of the gloves from slipping down into creases on the wrist.
Dated this 20th day of June 1892.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in or applicable to Gloves.
A communication from abroad by HEINRICH GULDEN, of Chemnitz, Saxony.
I FREDERICK RICHARD LANGE of 23 New Cannon Street Manchester in the
County of Lancaster, Merchant, 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 especially to ladies' gloves manufactured from silk, Lisle
thread, cotton and woollen fabrics, but it is also applicable to other gloves such as
are not provided with buttons or similar fastenings, the object of the invention
being to provide such gloves with a device to cause them to retain their
position upon the wrist and arm of the wearer without slipping down and forming
creases.
The nature of the said invention and the manner in which the same is to be
performed or carried into practical effect will be readily understood on reference
to the illustrative drawing hereunto annexed and the following explanation
thereof.
The drawing represents a front or inside view of a lady's glove showing the
improvement applied thereto.
For the purposes of this invention I attach to the glove (by sewing or other-
wise) at the front of the wrist two short straps a and b of a convenient width and
of any suitable material. For longer gloves two or more pairs of straps may be
used.
The free ends of these straps are provided with suitable means for readily
fastening the same together and adjusting them to fit the wrist of the wearer, such
as a slide, buckle, turn-over clip, or other suitable device c, and it will be found
that the application of these straps will keep the glove in place and prevent the

page_text: arm or gauntlet of the same from slipping down and forming unsightly creases at
the wrist, in wear, whilst they can be readily loosened for withdrawing the glove
when required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what !
claim is :-
The application to or combination with the inner side of the wrist of a glove of
two short straps provided with a slide, buckle, turnover clip, or other similar
device for readily fastening the free ends of the same together, and adjusting them
to fit the wrist of the wearer substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated
by the drawing annexed.
Dated this 8th day of July 1892.
