IMPROVEMENT IN GLOVE-ENVELOPES.

Specification forming part of L'etters Patent No. 130,997,1iated September 3, 1872.

SPEcrFIoATroN.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, 'FORTUN HEC-LE, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in the Manufacture of Kid-Glove Wrappers or Envelopes; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full description of the same.

In my previous invention of an improved kid-glove envelope I therein state that, owing to the very delicate colors of opera and other fancy kid gloves, they. are very liable to spot by contact with other colored kid gloves, or by exposure in a damp atmosphere, or by handling by sweaty or moist fingers, and therefore require great care in folding them in separate wrappers of clean white paper before they can be safely packed away in boxes, or exposed for sale. rIhe object of my present invention therefore is, to a certain extent, intended to accomplish the same results as before effected, but by a different method, and

at the same time more economically; and the nature of my new manufacture of kidglove envelopes consists in making from a sheet or sheets of paper a wrapper folded at the ends so as to form two pockets, with overlaps at their edges for the purpose of covering the entire surface of the glove when the laps are distended, and at the same time forming an overlap as in the ordinary envelope when the pockets are. separated from the middle part of the wrapper. But to describe my new manufacture of a kid-glove wrapper or envelope I will refer to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specication, the same letters of reference wherever they occurreferring to like parts.

Figure 1 is a plan view of the blank of paper from which the wrapper or envelope is formed, showing by the dotted lines the method of folding it. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the wrapper as folded to form the pockets at each end, with the overlaps on the edges of the pockets distended. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the wrapper, showing the overlaps atthe edges of the pockets folded back so as to expose the color of the glove without displacement of it from the wrapper. Fig. 4 is a representation of the wrapper as folded for packing away, with the glove therein. Fig. 5 is a representation of the two pockets as separated from the body of the wrapper, as indicated by the brackets joining the parts together.

Letter A represents a blank of paper of twenty-one inches long, by six and a halfinches wide, or any other suitable length and width, according to size of glove to be Ainclosed in the wrapper. At B B the edges of the blank are slightly wider than its body. The object of this is, that when the blank is folded down on the dotted line C G to form the pockets D D, the marginal edges B B will form an overlap on the body of the wrapper, which, on pasting or gumming thereto, forms the pockets. To the edges of the pockets a fly or overlap, E, is attached, with a crease in it for folding on the dotted line F. The object of this overlap is threefold-first, as shown in Fig. 2, when distended it entirely incloses the glove; second, as shown in Fig. 3, when folded back it exposes the body of the glove for inspection of color, &c., without the possibility of the glove getting displaced from the wrapper, or soiled by the fingers, and at the same time, if discarded, where the purchaser looks over great numbers before making a selection, isl quickly and effectually protected from exposure by the simple operation of folding the overlaps down again, as shown in Fig. 2; and third, when the gloves are sold and the pockets separated from the body of the wrapper on the dotted lines G G, the overlaps are then folded over the mouth of the pockets, as shown in Fig. 5, tok form envelopes in which the gloves are inclosed .to be delivered to the purchaser, while the part E, Fig. 5, intervening between the pockuets may be used as sales-checks as to quality and price of gloves sold. In Fig. 4 the wrapper is shown folded on the dotted line J J, of about the width of the glove and in the usual shape in which gloves are folded in wrappers to be packed in boxes. When thus folded it will be seen that the glove cannot escape from the-wrapper by slipping out at the ends, as would be the case if the glove was only held in one pocket, as shown in my former invention, for which reason it is not deemed as practical, useful, or economical of manufacture as my present invention.

Having now described my new manufacture pockets, and folded and shaped substantially of kid-glove wrappers or envelopes, Iwill set as described, and for the purposes set forth.

forth what I claim and desire to secure by FORTUNE HEGLE. Letters Patent of the United States.
