GLOVE.

Specication of Letters Patent.

Application led May 27, 1915. Serial No. 30,725.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, AARON CHARNEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of4 Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gloves, of which the following is a specification.l

kMy invention relates to improvements in gloves, and has among its general objects to provide a glove-construction such that the blanks for the formation of the back-body, finger-backs, and fourchettes, may satisfactorily be cut entirely by dies and with great economy of material; and to provide a glove wherein the seams incident to assemblage of the parts will take lines that do not detract from the appearance of the' glove, but rather enhance its attractiveness.

Other and further objects of my invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which I have shown embodiments of my invention both in dress-glove construction and in working glove construction.

In the drawings-Figure 1 is a view of a main blank thatmay advantageously be employed in making a dress glove embodying my invention; Figs. 2 and 3 represent blanks for insert pieces complemental to said main blank; Fig. lillustrates in a schematic perspective the relation of the parts -preliminarily to assemblage; Figs. 5 and 6 illustrate the backs of gloves embodying my invention finished in different fashions. Fig. 7 shows the back portion of a blank suitable for the formation of a working glove, continuing the showing in dotted lines to illustrate a well known form of palmpiece. Fig. 8 is a detail of the blanks for complemental inserts. Fig. 9 illustrates the complemental blanks assembled and ready for stitching in the back blank. Fig. 10 illustrates the glove turned inside out, with the back finished ready for attachment of the palm-piece, a 'fragment of which is shown in dotted lines. y

In the embodiment `of my invention the fourchettes, ('or'side pieces, so to speak, of

vthe fingers,) are all connected :with parts body blank is cut partially to detach certain fourchette-forming portions, incidentally making an opening in' the main backbody-blank extending taperingly toward the wrist from the' crotchesof the fore-nger and little finger, and inserts are provided having complemental back-body portions to fill the opening in the main back-body-blank thus cut out', theseinserts carrying the remainingv fourchette forming portions. Among the many advantages of this general arrangement it may be pointed out that the fourchettes, properly related to the parts with which they are connected, may be diecut .with great nicety so that, with reasonable uniformity in stitching, gloves made from the samey die-pattern maybe practically perfect'in uniformity, there being no need for trimming the fourchettes and it being almost impossible for a skilled operator to assemble the pieces incorrectly. In dress gloves this gives a fitting quality that is most advantageous; in cheap, loose gloves, that may be said to be non-fitting, the rapidity and certainty with which the assembling may be done, as well as the economy in material, is of importance.

- In the particular embodiment of my invention shown in Figs.` 1 to 6, wherein a dress glove is illustrated, 12 indicates in general a glove back blank whereof 13 is the body-portion and 14 and 17 are fingerback-forming portions, for the fore-finger and little finger respectively. It will be understood that my present invention in- .volves nothingnovel in the way of palm, thumb and wrist construction, and in so far as I have shown structure pertaining to theseparts the sho-wing is merely suggestive of lconventional arrangement. There will be,'of course, in some suitable form, a palm piece 32, having a body portion 33 and finger portionst, 35, 36 and 37, supplemented with suitable thumb construction; but with specific. structure along this line my present invention is not concerned. Asa result of full embodiment of my invention the bodyback, finger backs, and fourchettes are provided 'and assembled. Any forml-of'palm may be used. l l

Forconvenience of defnitionI will refer to ithatside of each finger which is nearest the thumb as itsin`side, and correspondingly` will' refer to the other sidev as the outside,

- body an opening, shown at 20.

Integrally with the rfinger back 14, which in turn is integral with the back-body part 13, I connect two fourchette-forming portions.

14 is the fourchette for the out-side of the fore-finger laterally connected with the linger-back 14 and 15i is the fourchette for the inside of the middle finger connected root-to-root with the fourchette 14. Correspondingly, to the little finger back 17 are connected the two fourchettes 17i for the inside of the little-finger and 16 for the outside of the ring-finger- To provide the fourchette portions 15i and 16 the blank is cut along a line 18, substantially along the median line of the glovey from the tip of the blank well into the main' blank for the backbody 13, (separating the fourchette-parts 15i and 16) and other cuts 19` and 19 run from the Wristward extremity of they first said cut in suitably divergent directions to the locations of thecrotches of the little-finger and foresfinger. Thus, asvshown in Fig. 4, when the partly detached portions are bent or folded along the lines indicated by dashes in Fig. 1, fourchettes17i and 14 stand as lateral continuations of their adjacent finger-backs, while the respectively-confronting fourchettes 15i and 16 are longitudinal continuations of the .first said fourchettes joining them root -toroot, at the finger crotches. Of coursefthis leaves in the back Complemental blanks 21 and 22, specifically shown in Figs. 2 and 3, provide suitably shaped filler portions, or back-body portions forinsertion in said V-shaped opening 20 to complete the back-body, and the inserts also provide, attached to them integrally, the remaining ltwo fourchettes. In the particular construction shown in Figs. 1 to `6, blank 22 provides merely a finger back 15 for the middle finger anda filler-portion or backbody portion 2O2L partly to fill the opening 20, The otherinsert 21 provides the filler portion 20b and the ringffinger back 16, laterally joining a fourchette 16i that connects root to root with anotherfourchette 15 for the out-side of the middle finger.

` It will be apparent that by stitching the contiguous edges of insert 2()b and finger piece 15 to the corresponding edges of parts 20a and 15, and Vfurther stitchingk the edge of this assembled insert tothe edges of opening 20 and tov vfourchettes y15i and 16,7the glove-back-and-fourchette structure will be complete, ready for application of the palm piece and thumb. L

f In Fig. 5I have shown the back of a dress glove finished with the seams iaround the opening 20 and between the inserts, local to the back-body, all'turned in; in Fig. 6 I have shown thesaid seam edges: local to the back-'body turned out and vornamentally stitched, as by overseaming (hand Lor vma-- chine). Such construction as shown in Fig. 6, it will be noted, enables the parts to be ornamented by the same stitching 40 that connects the parts, and Lin either style of Y,finish very attractive results may be attained, as the seam lines run from about a finger-length below the finger crotches up to the three finger crotches, and with-'proper shaping. of parts, may follow an almost symmetrical and attractively curved design that very nearly approximates the conventional three lines of ornamental stitchingso frequently found in glove-backs. Of course these seams may be wholly covered with stitching, for concealment by ornamentation, but in themselves they lend appropriate ornamentation to the glove.

The arrangement of the fourchettes as heretofore described, it will be observed, provides three pairs of fourchettes in rootto-root arrangement, -so avoiding the necessity of any crotch-seaming from palm to back, one fourchette of each pair being attached to a ngerfback part that in turn has a continuation that makes a. portion of the back-body. By this arrangement, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art, the fourchettes may be blanked out with great nicety of shape and their positions in the completed article will be accurately predetermined, so` that the variation in fingersize in the finished product and other difficulties of manufacture, that are ordinarily incident to the fitting andtrimming of the usual separate fourchettes, may be avoided.

In Figs. 7 to 10 my invention is shown embodied in a workmans glove, such as is, commonly made of cotton-flannel or the like, the arrangement diering from that hereinbefore described only in the particular that preferably, as a. matter of saving material, the advantage of having no front-to-back crotch-seam is sacrificed to another advantage. To save material and simplify design, the two inserts 21 and 22 are made duplicates, each affording its respective back insert 20a or 20; its finger' back, 15 or 16; and a laterally attached fourchette, 15 or 161', but of course the two fourchette portions must be sewed together at their roots or bases. Assemblage may conveniently be made in the same way as heretofore described, the middle seam 38 between the two inserts and from front to back at the roots of the fourchettes 15, 16i, being first made and then the edges of the connecting inserts being seamed to the edges ofthe opening20 and the fourchettes 15i and 16 by a single 'seam 39 thereby making ready for stitching on the palm piece, etc. v

WhileI have herein described my invention as embodied only in a construction having a minimum number of parts with the whole back-body-blank in one piece,\it Will be apparent that the same construction could be embodied in a structure having more pieces in its blanks (possibly to the utilization of scraps) secured togethed by incidental seaming in excess of that heretofore described.

Having described my invention, what I claimis:

1. A glove-structure element having in a single piece a back-body portion, a fingerback portion, a fourchette portion laterally connected to the finger-back portion and a second fourchette portion connected root-toroot with the first said fourchette-portion and lying in the blank, beside the back-body portion.

2. A glove back part comprising integrally a back-body portion, a finger-back portion, a fourchette laterally adjoining the finger-back portion, and a fourchette adjoining the first said fourchette root-to-root and cut from the back-body portion lea-ying an opening in the latter; and an insert attached to the edge of said opening providing integrally a filler portion and a linger back portion, said iinger-back portion connected to the back edge of the second said fourchette.

3. A glove back part comprising, integrally, a back body portion, a finger back portion, a fourchette laterally adjoining the nger back portion, and a fourchette adjoining the first said fourchette root-to-root and cut from the back body portion leaving an opening in the latter; and an insert comprising integrally a ller portion attached to the edge of said opening, a finger back' portion attached to the back edge ofthe last said fourchette, and a laterally connected fourchette for the other side of said finger back portion.

4. A glove back part comprising, in a single piece, a back-body portion, a fingerback portion, a fourchette laterally adjoining the finger-back portion, and a fourchette adjoining the first said fourchette root-to-root and out from the back-body portion leaving an opening in the latter, an insert comprising, in a single piece, a filler portion attached to the edge of said opening, a finger back portion attached to the back edge of the last said fourchette, a laterally connected fourchette for the other side of said finger back portion and a fourth fourchette connected root-toroot with the third mentioned fourchette.

5. A glove back and fourchette structure, comprising, in a single piece, a back-body portion having an opening extending from the little Enger and fore-nger crotches taperingly toward the wrist, little finger and fore-finger backs, lateral fourchettes connected with the `contiguous sides of said two finger back portions, and other fourchettes connected root to root with said first mentioned fourchette and made of material that, in the blank, lies within the confines of the opening in the back-body.

6. A glove back and fourchette structure comprising, in a single piece, a back-body portion having an opening extending from the little finger and fore-finger crotches taperingly toward the wrist, little finger and fore-finger backs, lateral fourchettes connected with the contiguous sides of said two finger back portions, and other fourchettes connected root to root with said rst mentioned fourchettes and made of material that, in the blank, lies within the confines of the body back opening, and two connected inserts, jointly filling said body back opening and'attached to the edges thereof and providing middle and ring finger backs and fourchettes for the contiguous sides of the middle and ring fingers.

In testimony whereof I hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
