Y To all whom t may concern.'

Be itV known Vthat I, BERNHARD BUD- wnisnn, a citizen of the United States, re siding. at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gloves, of which the following is a specification.

My inventioni relates to improvements inA gloves, and has for its genera-l object to provide an improved glove structure in which the fourchettes, or. side-forming-portions of the fingers, all have direct, lateral integral attachment' respectively -to appropriate iinger-back portionsand wherein each finger back portion is integral with aback-body portion; and wherein theplurality ofpieces v comprisingY the back-body4 are so arranged that' their lines of juncture may take arbitrarily-selected lines of direction .remote from vthe knuckle-covering `part of the glove in arrangement to secure attractive ornamental effect and a very firm anchorage for the finger-back portions.

In the drawing, wherein I have illustrated an embodiment of my invention as a work glove- Figure 1 represents a blank out in one suitable fashion toprovide the back-body portion and directly-attached nger-back and fourchette-forming portions;

Fig. 2 shows a pair of blanks such as are used complementally to the first mentioned blank for completing the provision of the back body, finger backs, and fourchettes;

Fig. 3 shows a partly completed association of two insert parts;

Fig. 4 shows the glove-back and fourchette parts in fully assembled condition, and

Fig. 5 shows exteriorly the back of the completed glove.

In the drawings, 10 indicates in general the main back blank and 11 and 12 indicate supplemental blanks, that, conjointly with the main blank, are to provide the back-body, finger-backs and six fourchettes. These-backand-fourchette parts will be supplemented by any suitable palm piece (suggested in dotted lines at 13 in Fig. 1) and with a thumb structure for the completion of the glove, but my present invention has no bearing on the formation of the palm or thumb parts, and these structures may be widely varied in detail.

The main blank 10 provides a main back portion 14Uand,.integrally connected there with, two finger-back portions 15a and 15d, respectively to form the backs of the forefinger and little finger. These finger-back portions have integrally connected therewith, laterally, at their contiguous sides, the fourchette-forming portions 1Ga and 16d, re. spectively. From points approximately at the roots or crotches of the two finger portions 15a and 15d, a suitablyshaped aperture 17 is cut in the back-body portion V14:, and the fourchette forming parts 16'(l and: 16d.

aforesaid are cut transversely toform edges 185,191; the -aperture 17 Vthus .being preferably approximately triangular in shape,

with side edges 17a, 17d converging on any desired straight o-r curved linestoward' the wrist portion ofthe glove. The precise size and shape of the opening `are 'determined arbitrarily, .primarily accordingly tol artistry of design, but the edges 171,-l71 shouldy have a length materially in excess of the width of a glove finger. L

Each blank, 11 and 12, that supplements the .main blank, providesa finger-back por- 'tio-n, a back-body-insert portion fo-rming a longitudinal continuation of said finger-back portion, and two fourchette portions constituting integral lateral extensions from both sides of the finger back portions. Thus, as best shown in Fig. 3, the two complemental blanks 11 and 12 provide respectively the finger backs 15b and 15 for the middle-finger and ring-finger; the complemental back inserts 14h and 14e, that jointly will fill the opening 17, and the fourchette pairs 1Gb, ich', and 16C, 16C.

In assembling the stated parts the crotch extremities of contiguous fourchette portions 16b and` 16e are stitched together as at 20, and the body inserts 14" and 14C are united along their contiguous longitudinal edges by suitable stitching as at 21. The two inserts thus united are joined to the main blank, the crotch extremities of f-ourchette portions 16h and 16c being respectively stitched to the edges 18M-18d of the two fourchette portions 16a and 16d respectively, at 22 and 22', (Fig. a) and the edges of the body-insert portions 14th and 14e be ing stitched, as at 23, to the edges 17a and 17d of the back opening in the back body.

It will be observed that, as each fourchette portion is integrally v connected along its longitudinal or major dimension with a contiguous finger back portion, the fourchettes are inevitably located" in proper 're` lation to such finger back portions, and may be blanked out, in the die cutting of the blanks, With great accuracy, and may be stitched to the adjoining parts with greatest assurance of the correct sizing and location of such fourchettes. lt will also be noted that the provision of Vlinger back extensions, arranged as inserts filling the opening made in the integral back body, gives a long bias seam line forY the union of the edge ofl each such insert to the body, thereby affording a firm and desirable union, greater in length than the Width of the finger back, andremoved from the knuckle-covering portion of the glove, .so that'there is no tendency of the seams 23 to chafe the' knuckles, and so that the seams are not directly subjected to the stresses caused by fiexing of the metacar- 'pal-phalangeal articulations. Furthermore,

the severalseamlines running from the posteri'orV portion of the back-body to the finger crotches, may be made on any divergent straight or curved lines that may most aras best shown in Fig. 5*.

Vhile l have herein described .in some d etistically give ornamental value to the glove,

tail aparticular embodimentl of myinven! tion it will be understoodby those' skilled in the art that changes may-be made in the specific embodiment thereof'without departure from the spirit of my invention and Within the scope of the 'appended claim.
