MULTI-FUNCTIONAL CONVEi~TIBLE MITTEN/GLOVE SyS'~M
BACKGf~OUND
This invention i5 a two part system for covering the hands Suitable for anyone who goes outside in cold temperatures.
Usually winter hand coverings are either mittens which enclose the four finger digits in one sheath and the thumb in another Sheath. Or, gloves which enclose all of the digits in Separate sheaths.
Kecently we have Seen mitt/glove combinations Such a5 U.S. Patent 1188453. In this case an outer mitt finger Sheath has been attached to an inner glove allowing the wearer to expose their fingers when needed.
Compartments have been made in other mittens and gloves for heating elements.
For examples you may look at U.S. Patents 1970081 (Eisendrath); 2792827 (Gravin); 3712288 (Weirs);
and 1188453. Some of the above mentioned compartments render the gloves cumbersome to (Continued on page 3) (Continued from page 2) use, and, none have suggested other uses for Said compartments. Also, none of the afore men-tinned give the wearer the freedom to expose a gloved or bear hand while Still wearing the mitt por-Lion containing their valuables, thus minimizing the chances of losing them.
The combination glove-mitten described in U.S. latent 1188453 gives the wearer the choice be-tween gloved fingers or a mitten sheath. Some such combination mitt/gloves have disadvantages such as; the baby finger can involuntarily pop out from under the mitt portion exposing it to the ele-menu, also the straight line of the flip portion has a tendency to allow snow to enter the finger area while the wearer is engaged in moving snow. It is important to note thatjobs which require the use of your fingers also require the use of your thumb. A disadvantage to 1188453 is that it does not allow the wearer to expose their thumb, therefore making it difficult for the wearer to manipu-late objects or equipment with the maximum dexterity that woul d be possible if all of the digits were exposed. As well, in 1188453 the mitt portion is attached directly to the glove portion making it impossible to wear the mitt and glove portions separate from one another.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide a System for covering the hand which incorporates (Continued on page 4) (Continued from page 3) the maximum dexterity possible in a glove with the warmth of a mitten while allowing the wearer the freedom to choose between wearing one or all parts of the Said invention Separately. The wearer can expose or keep covered any part of the hand with ease. The fingers, thumbs, or the entire hand portions of the outer mitt can be put on or removed individually and the uni~uene55 of the removable inner glove provides maximum dexterity.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a hand covering which has inner com-partment5 to provide safe keeping for Small items, which can be secured to the wearer at all times. Even When the mitten/glove i5 not being worn on the hand. Thus minimizing the chances Of 1055.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a No-lose modification which allows the mitten/giove to remain on the wearers wrist when not rer~uired. This provides maximum dexter-ity and minimizes the chances of losing the mitten/glove when they are not being used a hand covering. This No-lose modification can be applied to any winter hand covering.

A DETAILED DESCf~IpTION OF THE DRAWINGS
#1. The main body of the mitt can be made in any conceivable way from any winter wear fabric.
The outer mitt can be the same length as the inner glove or it can be Shorter or longer whatever iS
preferred.
(Continued on page 7) (Continued from page 6) The finger Sheath of this mitt flips back to reveal gloved fingers or a bare hand whichever the wearer prefers. The palm side of this sheath can be constructed using any number of pattern pieces. The back of the mitt is one piece horizontally but can be multiple pieces vertically.The fin-ger flip section of the mitt has a diagonal opening across the palm, arching from the inner base of the thumb across the palm of the hand on an angle meeting the outside of the palm below the baby finger. An optional fastener of choice can be applied to the inside edge of this flip portion which will connect it to palm of the mitt. (One suitable fastener is sold under the trademark VELCRO~.) This opening in the palm allows the wearer to remove their fingers from the mitt sheath without removing the entire mitt. When this sheath is removed it is folded across the back of the hand. It i5 held in this open position by any Suitable fastener, applied to the top off back Side of the finger flip portion and attaches to the other side of the fastener applied to the back of the mitt about the base of the hand.
Under the diagonal Section of the finger flip portion, the palm of the mitt goes across the hand at the base of the fingers. Low enough so it does not interfere with the workings of the fingers, while being high enough on the palm to conceal the entire palm when the finger sheath is closed.
(Continued on page 8) (Continued from page 7) The thumb flip portion works in the Same manor a5 the finger flip portion. The thumb Sheath i5 part of, or connected to, the mitt, this can be done in any way conceivable by Someone in the in-duStry. The inside of the thumb sheath i5 finished at the base of the thumb and i5 not connected to the fingers of the mitt/glove. A Small fastener could be applied to close the thumb and the finger portion of the mitt/glove together, but it i5 not imperative.. The wearer i5 able to remove their thumb from the mitt, folding the thumb Sheath back and attaching it to the body of the mitt. Any fastener such a5 VELCRO~ or Snaps attached to the back of the thumb and the body of the mitt hold it open.
The No-lose wrist modification i5 truly revolutionary. This modification can be easily applied to any mitt or glove. It i5 a Stretchable band of any width applied to the cuff of any mitt or glove to form a loop which allows the wearer to hang the mitt/glove around their wrist when not needed. This minimizes the chances of losing them. The loop also makes the mitts and/or gloves easy to hang up or can be used to connect them together for Storage. The concept of the No-lose loop can be applied to any mitt or glove in any manor conceivable. Some examples of possible applications are; The loop can extend around the entire wrist of the mitt being attached in one or (Continued on page 9) (Continued from page 8) more places to the mitt body. Or it can extend half way around the cuff area with the ends of the band being attached to the mitt body.
A hook fastener may be applied to the mitt/glove to enable the wearer to attach them to a jacket or Ski Suit.
If the finger flip portion i5 lined there are two spots where a hidden compartment can be made.
One between the layers of fabric on the inside of the palm which would be held Shut by a suitable fastener Such a5 VELCRO~ or a Snap. The other between the back of the mitt body and the back lining of the finger flip. Added Security can be given to the back compartment by applying any Suitable fastener Such as VELCRO~, Snap etc. This allows the wearer to Safely Store Small things Such as credit cards, money or anything else that fits.
#2. The removable glove portion with no finger tips can be made in any conceivable manor from any winter wear fabric. The wrist portion must be constructed in a manor which fits Snugly about the wrist to Stop Snow and drafts from entering. An optional fastener Such aS
VELCRO~ is ap-plied to the back of the hand to Secure the insert to the main mitt body. In this case the other (Continued on page 10) (Continued from page 9) Side of the fastener would be applied to the inside of the back of the mitt body.
#3. The No-lose wrist modification can be made and mounted on any winter hand covering in any way conceivable from any material. Some form of elasticity can be given to the band. It Should also be noted that this band can be used to hang the mitten/gloves up when not being used, or to secure the two mitten/gloves to one another when not being worn.
#4. The thumb flip portion of this invention can be applied in any way conceivable which allows the thumb to be exposed and works in the Same way as the finger flip portions.
#5. The finger flip portion of the mitt can be applied in any conceivable manor. The diagonal cut of the palm stops unwanted Snow from entering into the finger portion while comfortably secur-ing the baby finger within the mitt portion. Optional VELCI~O~, or other Suitable tabs can be ap-plied to the inner edge of the finger flip portion and to the outside of the palm area beside the thumb for further protection from Snow and drafts.
#6. The hidden compartment allows the wearer to store Small items safely within their mitt.
(Continued on page Il) (Co»tirrued from page 10) #7. VELCRO~ or any other fastener secures the glove insert and mitt portion together.
#8. Any hooks can be applied to attach the mitts together or to ajacket when not in use.
#9. VELCRO~ or any other fastener i5 attached to the back of the thumb portion of the mitt body and connects to #10. This is used to Secure the thumb portion to the mitt body when the thumb is in the flipped position.
#10. YELCRO~ or any other fastener is placed on the main mitt body and connects to #9 to hold the thumb portion open when in the flipped position.
#11. VELCRO~ or any other fastener is placed at the top of the back side of the angled finger flip portion and is connected to #12 to hold the mitt in the open flipped position.
#12. VELCROO or any other fastener is placed on the back of the main mitt body and connected to #11 when the finger flip portion is opened to reveal the fingers.
(Contirated on page 12) (Continued from page ll) #13. Optional VELCRO~ tab, or any other fastener, i5 placed on the inside palm area of the finger flip portion. This connects to #14 to stop unwanted Snow and drafts from entering the finger por-Lion of the mitt.
#14. Optional VELCRO tab, or any other fastener, is placed on the palm beside the base of the thumb of the mitt body. This connects to #13 to stop unwanted snow and drafts from entering the finger portion of the mitt.
#15. Optional VELCRO~ tab, or any other fastener, is placed on the inside of the outer shell of the back of the mitt portion and connects to #16 to add extra security to the inner compartment.
#16. Optional VELCRD~ tab, or any other fastener, is placed on the inside of the back panel of the finger flip portion and connects to #15 to add extra security to the inner compartment.
#1?. An additional inner compartment can be made on the palm side of the finger flip portion.
