page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Edward Griffith Brewer, of 89, Chancery Lane,
in the County of Middlesex, Patent Agent, for the Invention of
"IMPROVEMENTS IN GLOVES." . A communication from abroad by

Messrs. Jouvin, Doyon, and Company, of Paris, France.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Edward Griffith Brewer
at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition,
on the 23rd September 1872.
I, EDWARD GRIFFITH BREWER, of 89, Chancery Lane, in the County
of Middlesex, Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of the said
Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN GLOVES," (a communication to me from
abroad by Messrs. Jouvin, Doyon, and Company, of Paris, France), to bo
as follows:-
This Invention consists in the manufacture of and in the application
to kid and other skin gloves of edges or borders (wristband edges) made
in a single piece of kid or of other skin, but with only a portion or
portions of the colour of the glove itself, the other or remaining portion
or portions being white or of any other colour differing from the first.

page_text: The borders or edges may be of two different shades or colours or of¸
several shades.
When the edge or cuff is made of two colours, for example, one
portion being, say black, the other white, an edge of the description is
applied to a glove by folding the one portion on the other portion. and 5
sewing or stitching it to the glove proper, so that the white portion is
inside and the black portion outside; this kind of edge in white and
black is particularly applicable to black gloves, and to coloured gloves
with black borders, or dark colours, in order to prevent the edge marking
or discolouring the wrist or arm through perspiration or other cause, as 1
is now the case with gloves having the edges of entirely the same colour,
or of a dark shade folded in two.
The edge may be made with any desired design of different shades or
colours according to fancy and taste, the edge is then simply folded in
two to apply it to the glove, and at the same time an ornamental 1
border or edge according to taste is obtained.
•
.Sometimes the edge may be sewn to the glove without being folded,
and then the edge, which is not sewn, is generally cut into festoons,
tongues, or vandykes.
It must be understood that cuffs or wristbands for gloves may be 2
made according to this Invention in a single piece of two or of several
shades or colours, whatever the form, design, shade, or colour may be,
and by this means an endless variety of effects can be obtained.
The edges or cuffs may be stained, dyed, or otherwise coloured by any
of the processes or means now in use.

trators, and assigns, or such others as I, the said Edward Griffith Brewer,
my executors, administrators, and assigns, should at any time agree
with, and no others, from time to time and at all times thereafter
during the term therein expressed, should and lawfully might make,
use, exercise, and vend, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN GLOVES," (a communication to me from abroad by
Messrs. Jouvin, Doyon, and Company, of Paris, France), upon the con-
dition (amongst others) that I, the said Edward Griffith Brewer, my
executors or administrators, by an instrument in writing under my, or
5 their, or one of their hands and seals, should particularly describe and
ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same

Patent Office within six calendar months next and immediately after the
date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Edward Griffith Brewer, do hereby
declare the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement, reference being had to the accompanying
Drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, that is to
say:
This Invention consists in the manufacture of and in the application.
to kid and other skin gloves of edges or borders (wristband edges) made
in-a single piece of kid or of other skin, but with only a portion or
portions of the color of the glove itself, the other or remaining portion
) or portions being white or of any other color differing from the first.
The borders or edges may be of two different shades or colors or of
several shades.
C
The edge can be made as shewn in the annexed Drawing, Figure 1,
then to apply it to a glove it is folded according to the line a, b, and
placed in such manner that the white part is inside the glove and the
coloured part forms part of the glove; this kind of edge in white and
black of a single piece of material is particularly applicable to black

page_text: gloves, and to coloured gloves with black borders, or dark colours, in
order to prevent the edgo marking or discolouring the wrist or arm
through perspiration or other cause, as is now the case with gloves
having the edges of entirely the same colour, or of a dark shade folded
in two..
The edge may be made with any desired design of different shades or
colours, as for example, as shewn in Figure 2, according to fancy and
taste, the edge is then simply folded in two to apply it to the glove, and
at the same time an ornamental border or edge according to taste is
obtained.
.Sometimes the edge may be sown to the glove without being folded,
and then the edge, which is not sewn, is generally cut into festoons,
tongues, or vandykes."
It must be understood that cuffs or wristbands for gloves may be
made according to this Invention in a single piece, as in Figure 3, of
two or of several shades or colours, whatever the form, design, shade, or
colour may be, and by this means an endless variety of effects can be
obtained.
The edges or cuffs may be stained or dyed or otherwise coloured by
any of the processes or means now in usc.
.
Having now described the nature of the said Invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, I declare that I claim, the manu-
facture of and application to kid and other skin gloves of edges or
borders made and attached to gloves, substantially in manner and for
the purpose or purposes herein-before described.
In witness whereof, I, the said Edward Griffith Brewer, have here-
