icence.
Application filed. February 26, 1914.
To all whom it may concern I Be it known that I, EMMA A. RUNNER, a resident of Ithaca, in the countyof Tompkins and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Glove-Finger-Turning Devices; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to glove turners and particularly to a hand device for turning glove fingers.
The object of the invention is to provide a device of the kind named adapted for insertion in a glove finger, to clasp the material of the finger on the inside and at the finger end only, and to be then withdrawn thus turning the finger neatly from tip to bottom without danger of tearing or otherwise injuring the glove.
The invention consists in the device hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the drawing which illustrates the invention and forms part of the specification;l igure 1 is a side elevation of the device in open condition; Fig. 2 is an end view with the jaws open; Fig. 3 is a like view with the jaws closed; Fig. 4. is a vertical central section of a portion of the device at the finger grasping end.
The device comprises two members, 1, 2, pivoted together at 8. Member 1 has a handle 4 readily grasped and held by the user, and member 2 is preferably shorter and terminates in a thumb pressure end 5. A spring 6 on the handle side of the pivot normally holds the opposite ends, which are the grasping ends, together. These finger-entering grasping members, 1, 2, are semicylindrical and fit together edge to edge and have nicely rounded tips, which are concave on the inside. The device as described in this paragraph is not herein claimed. Experience has shown that with a device thus made it is diflicult to press or work the tip of the glove finger which is being turned between the extreme ends of the grasping members without frequently accidentally causing the material of the finger at a distance back of the end to be caught between the separated edges of the opened members 1, 2, and when the finger is thus caught, say a half inch or more from the Specification of Letters Patent.

tip, it becomes impossible to turn the finger, and with gloves of delicate material tear 111g results. The present improvement overcomes these difiiculties.
For the purpose mentioned I provide obstructions which prevent the glove-finger end being pushed in too far bet-ween the tips of the members 1 and 2, and also prevent the finger, or any part of the glove, from entering between the sides of the opened members 1, 2, back of the tip, when the members are open. Numeral denotes a fine wire coil, which preferably tapers a lit-- tle toward the pivot of the device, though the invention is not limited to said taper. The coil is slipped on when the members 1, 2, are closed, but is loose enough to permit easy opening of the grasping end to the required extent, which for light gloves would not exceed three sixteenths of an inch. When the coil is in place, the outer end is passed through a hole 8 in one of the members, and is bent, coiled, or otherwise enlarged, as indicated at 80. This enlargement tends to keep the wire end in the hole, but other means may be used for said purpose. The main use of the wire inside of the hollow members is to obstruct the interior space of the members near the tip, say, one third of an inch back from the tip, to prevent the user pushing the material of the finger which is being turned in too far, care being taken that the extreme end of the wire be concealed in one of the hollow members where it cannot be caught in the glove. The opposite end of the coil is secured and the end hid adjacent the pivot, being shown connected to the spring, and the end concealed in the hollow between the members 1, 2. The coil when in place, forms a limit to the opening of the members, as well as forming an obstruction to the opening between the edges of the device. The wire being fine and smooth, will not interfere with the easy insertion of the device in glove fingers.
The device described will uniformly grasp the finger being turned at the inside of its tip only, and will when withdrawn give a safe, neat and complete turn of the finger.
Without limiting myself to all details clescribed, what I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:-
, l. A glove finger turning device comprising two members pivoted together ends; sziid Wire extending to the outside and ing suit-able grasping ends, in combination coiled around said, grasping members back \Vlt-h' an obstructing 0011 around sald memof the grasplng ends.
