BATH MITTEN.
APPLIOATION FILED JULY 23, 1912.

XVENTOR @Allornry W1TNESSES THOMAS J. DIAMOND, OF NEWIBURGH, NEW YORK.
. BATH-Muslin.
aoaass'o.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that l, THOMAS J. D].'\1lOND, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ncwburgh, in the county of Orange and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Bath-Mittens, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to bath mittens.
One object of my invention is to provide a mitten which is made of open mesh fabric woven from strong or substantially nonstretching thread, as distinguished from a mitten having nap or a spongy matter thereon, so as to provide a mitten having means to positively frictionally engage to loosen and remove foreign matter from the skin such as dirt, grease, ink or the like.
Another object of my invention is to provide a construction which will create considerable friction between the same and the skin so as to render it especially useful with shower baths as the frictional heat generated will offset the effect of the chill imparted by the water.
Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this kind which will not roughen or otherwise injure the skin through its use.
A further object of the invention is to provide a glove which may be rinsed or.
washed while on the hand to remove the cleansing agent therefrom after its application to the skin, so as to avoid the necessity of removing the glove for rinsing. or washing.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a single mitten which is operable on either hand.
The preferred embodiment of my invention is hereinafter described and illustrated on the accompanying drawings.
Iii these drawings: Figure 1 is a front elevation of a mitten; Fig. 2 is a detail cross sectional view on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawings, the mitten is shown as having a large portion 1-,;to receive the fingers and a thumb portion '2 forming the body of the mitten which is made of open mesh fabric, preferably what is known in the art as open mesh bobbinet. The fabric comprising the body portion is woven from strong, substantially non-stretching thread. Said body portion as shown comprises two glove like or mitten like parts 3 Specification of Letters .Patent.
Application filed J u1y'23, 1912. Serial No. 711,106.
Patented Mar. 31, 1914.
and4, one within the other. Said parts are referably secured together by a reinforclng strip such as 5, which is stitched or sewed around the edge of the mitten.
I desire it to be understood that I do not limit myself to the glove-like shape of parts 3 and 4, as it is only essential that the massaging article shonldbe adapted to embrace at least a portion of the hand of the user.
A loop or strap (5 is preferably provided on the glove so that the same may engage a nail or the like from which the glove may be suspended when not in use.
It will. be seen that the body portions of the glove are alike or of open mesh on each side. This construction permits the glove to serve as a left hand glove and a right hand glove, whereby it is only necessary to employ one glove.
The open mesh. fabric forming the body of the glove enables the same to readily retain a cleansing agent by reason of the fact that the fabric is of open mesh and sul'istantially non-stretching thread. It will readily produce a good lather when rubbed against soap. The strong and non-stretching threads engage the skin and frictionally and positively grip and loosen dirt, grease,
ink or other foreign matter, and at the same time, without roughening or otherwise injuring the skin. Also, the strong nonyielding threads when rubbed against the skin create considerable friction so as to warm the body, which renders the glove invaluable in connection with a shower bath as the frictional heat produced will offset the effect of the chill imparted by the water.
The construction embodying this inven tion permits the glove to be rinsed or cleansed while on the hand, which avoids the necessity of removing the same to wash or rinse it.
The flesh cleansing and massaging article which is herein shown in the form of a mitten, affords a massaging action which could not be obtained if the article were formed of yarn or other soft material. While the threads of the not will not abrase or scratch the skin, it serves to impart thereto the desired n'iassaging glow, when the article is used after the bath, and these threads serve when the article is used as a washing or cleansing utensil to most effectively remove foreign substances from the skin. One of the particular reasons why this construction is so effective, is that I form the article of a reticulated material ha ring a sulliejently open mesh so as to permit of minute projection of portions of the llesh into the interstices whereby rubbing action imparted to the article under pressure will serve to cause the threads surrounding the minute flesh-projecting portions to grip and massage the same. A most particular advantage in having a two ply article, is that the inner netting serves to prevent fleshy portions of the hand from filling the interstices of the outer thickness so as not to prevent such minute projection of the flesh into the interstices of the outer thickness. Furthermore, by making both plies or thicknesses of a reticulated mate-' rial, cleansing and Washing of the article itself is greatly facilitated.
Having thus described my invention what claim is: a 4
1. A flesh cleansing and massaging article shaped to embrace the hand and composed of inner and outer superimposed layers of open mesh fabric, the edges only of the fabric layers being marginally secured toget-her, substantially as described.
2. A reversible bath mitten having two sides each formed of duplicate superimposed layers of open'mesh fabric, and the edges only of the fabric layers being marginally secured together, substantially as and for the purposesset forth.
