PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement connected with the Frames of Glove Purses.
I, JAMES KERSHAW, of 97 Wood Street, City of London, Glover, do hereby declaro
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for object, providing the back frame of a glove purse with spring
like fasteners that do not project beyond the fold down frame, consequently the frame
is fitted in a more compact manner and has no bulges or knob fasteners to interfere
with the movement of the hand, or give any inconvenience to the person wearing such
glove, such as when carrying a parasol, as is now the case with existing fasteners.
For the purpose of my invention, I form two curved, or other projections from or
attached to the underframe preferably of semi-circular formation and I hinge the
folding frame or flap to said spring like projections. These projections are curved
inwards and as the folding rim is forced downwards to close the purse, the two plates
spring open and then close upon the rim of the folder and secure it in position.
Other forms of spring can be used in connection with the glove purse for keeping
the mouth closed.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement connected with the Frames of Glove Purses.
I, JAMES KERSHAW, of 97 Wood Street, City of London, Glover, 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 has for object, providing the back frame of a glove purse with spring
like fasteners that do not project beyond the fold down frame, consequently the frame
is fitted in a more compact manner and has no bulges or knob fasteners to interfere
with the movement of the hand, or give any inconvenience to the person wearing such
glove, such as when carrying a parasol as is now the case with existing fasteners.
For the purpose of my invention and which I show in the annexed drawings,
Figure 1, I form two curved tongues, lips, or like projections A, B, from or attached
to the underframe C which is preferably of semi-circular formation and I hinge the
folding frame or flap D to said spring like projections A, B. These projections are
curved inwards and as the folding rim D is forced downwards to close the purse, the
two plates A, B, open and then by their springyness close upon the rim of the folder,
as indicated at Figure 2, and secure it in position.
Another form of spring can be used, such as that shown at Figure 3, in connection
with the glove purse for keeping the mouth of the purse closed. The spring A in this
case is on the folding flap D to yield to pressure during the closing and then to spring
under the inner edge of the underframe C to fasten it in place.
I am aware that several kinds of fasteners for the frames of glove purses have been
previously patented, such as knobs on angled stems to pass and press against each
other, or by horizontally arranged spring push catches.
I am also aware that elastic web at the mouth of a glove purse has been employed,
but all of them have imperfectly answered the purpose intended, or have been
inconvenient to the wearer.
By my invention, the frame is secured when closed, it occupies little room in the

page_text: palm it is compact, and the bare act of pressing one half frame into contact with
the other half, makes the purse secure.
Another advantage of my invention is, if the wearer's hand he squeezed, or a
side pressure be put upon the purse frame, the fastener remains in a closed state,
whereas, the knob fasteners untwist and come open by a side pressure or squeeze, such
as during hand-shaking by a friend.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. The improvement in glove purse frames, as shown in the annexed drawings
consisting of the employment as part thereof, of tongues, lips, or equivalents A, B,
on the lower portion C to engage over, or against the folding portion D, for securing
the two parts of the glove purse frame in contact and the mouth closed, as set forth.
2. The manufacture of glove purse frames with one or more spring like projections
on or from one half frame to engage upon, against, or under the other half frame,
as described and substantially as exemplified by the annexed drawings, Figures 1 and 3.
