IMPROVEMENT IN GLOVES FOR HUSKING CORN.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No.126,474, dated May 7, 1872; antedated May 1, 1872.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALBERT O. MEYN, of
J erseyville, in the county of Jersey and State of Illinois, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in HuskingGlove and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon. This invention relates to that class of devices which are employed to facilitate the operation of husking corn; and consists of a peculiarlyconstructed glove or mitten, which will be fully described in detail hereinafter.
In the drawing a perspective view of my improved glove is shown.
I To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will now proceed fully to describe the same. I
A represents the glove or mitten, the flexible portion of which is formed of two distinct parts, a a, united together securely at the tinger-ends in the usual manner. These parts are also connected together at the wrist by a strap, B, by which latter also the mitten is secured upon the hand. (J and D represent metallic plates provided withspikes, the former of which is adapted to cover and protect the ends of the fingers, and the latter the thumb. E E represent springs, preferably formed of wire, so bent and secured to the plates 0 D as to extend over the greater portion of these plates.
The operation is as follows: The glove is placed upon the hand and secured thereto by means of the strap about the wrist. The ear of corn is then grasped and stripped. The springs readily yield when the ear is seized, and permit the spikes to enter the husks. As soon as the pressure is removed, however, they necessarily react, and thus push ofl' from the spikes any of the husks that may adhere thereto.
By means of the construction of the mitten in two parts it may be worn on either hand.
I am aware that metallic plates have been employed in connection with the finger and thumb coverings, and I do not, therefore, broadly, claim such a device; but
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A husking-glove or mitten provided with springs, in the manner and for the purpose substantially as described.
2. In combination with a huskingglove, consisting of the parts a a, and metallic plates 0 D,'the springs E E, as described.
This specification signed and witnessed this fourth (4th) day of August, 1871.
ALBERT O. MEYN.
