Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filedflctober 7, 1920. Serial No. 415,260
one piece of a fabric material, such, for instance, as shown and described in the Letters Patent of the United States, No. 83,800, granted to George Topping on November 3, 1868. 1
The object of the invention is toprovide a newand improved mitten made of a single piece of fabric material and arranged to insure a proper fit on the hand of the user particularly at the wrist.
Another object is to provide a desired fullness at the junction of the base of the thumb with the front of the body portion thus allowing the desired movement of the thumb without danger of binding at or straining the thumb seam.
Another object is to render the mitten seamless at the outer edge, thus heightening the appearance of the mitten and avoiding binding at or tearing at the outer side as is so frequently the case with mittens having side seams constructed in the lines of the patent above referred to.
Another object is to permit the user to readily pass the hand into the mitten.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novelfeatures of construction, as hereinafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claims.
A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a plan view of the front of the mitten;
Figure 2 is a similar view of the back of the mitten;
Figure 3 is a plan view of the front of the mitten with the thumb shown bent back;
7 Figure 4 is a plan view of the blank from which the mitten is produced; and
Figure 5 is a perspective view of a portion of the mitten blank with the sides partly sewed together at the base of the thumb.
The mitten is formed from a single blank of a suitable fabric or other flexible material, shaped to provide a middle portion 10 and two side portions 11 and 12 adapted to be folded along the lines 13 and 14: to form the front of the mitten, while the middle portion 10 forms the back of the mitten. The forwardpart of the side portion 11 forms with the corresponding forward part of the middle portion 10 the covering for the fingers. The rear part 16 of the side portion 11 is narrower than the forward part and forms with the side portion 12 the palm of the mitten. From the forward part of the side portion 11 extends integrally the inner thumb member 17 while the outer thumb member 18 extends forwardly from the side portion 12.
In making the mitten the thumb member 17 is bent forward to join along its edges with the edges of the thumb member 18. The bases of the thumb members 17 and 18 are provided with shoulders 19 and 20 at the outer edges of the side portions 11 and 12, and these shoulders 19 and 20 are disposed opposite each other (see Figure 1).
The rear portion of the blank is extended beyond the wrist line 21 to provide a portion 22 doubled up inwardly to form a hem 23. The side edges of the portion 22 are flared outwardly, as plainly indicated in Figure 4;, and hence the hem 23 forms a flaring mouth for the body.
After the blank has been out then the parts are folded along the lines 13 and 14 with the reverse face of the fabric material outside. The thumb members 17 and 18 are next moved into overlying position, after which the parts are fastened together along the overlying edges by a single row of stitches 25 to form the mitten. The row of stitches 25 overlies the shoulders 19 and 20 and hence the shoulder 19 is sewed to the back 10 at the junction of the edges of the back and the thumb member 18 to widen the base of the thumb at the outer side. In a like manner the shoulder 20 is sewed by the stitches 25 to the side portion 11 at the junction of the edges of the narrow portion 16 and the thumb member 17 to enlarge the base of the thumb at the inner side thereof, that is, approximately at the upper middle portion of the palm. as plainly indicated in Figure 1. The hem 23 is formed by doubling up the portion 22 and fastening the same together by a row of stitches 26. The mitten is then turned inside out and is ready for use.
It will be noticed that by the use of the shoulders 19 and 20 the base of the thumb is widened to provide the desired fullness at to Figure 3 it will be noticed that by projectily pass the hand into the mitten and at the ing the inner portion of the base ofthe thumb inward towards the middle of the palm the thumb seam is relieved of strain when the user moves the thumb inward or outward, as in handling objects, owing to the strain being exerted alongthe material of the mitten in the direction of the length of the inner portion 17 of the thumb and that ofthe forward part of the front. In practice, the forward edges of the middle and side portions 10 and 11 of the blank are rounded off and hence an unbroken outer edge is provided at the mitten along the line 13 thuseliminating a seam at this outer edge and thereby heightening the appearance of the mitten at the same time reducing the possibility of tearing along this edge owing to the absence of a seam. By providing the flaring mouth at the wrist the user can readsame time the mitten fits snugly around the wearers wrist.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:
1. A one-piece mitten, comprising a back, a front, a thumb made in two parts, one of the thumb parts having an integral shoulder at the outer edge of its base and the other thumb part having an integral shoulder at the inner edge of its base, and a continuous row of stitches connecting the back with the front and connecting the edges of the thumb parts with each other, the shoulders of the thumb parts being fastened by the stitches to the corresponding edges of the front and back to provide an enlarged base for the thumb.
, 2. A mitten blank formed of one piece of material and comprising a middle portion and side portions, of which the middle portion is adapted to form the back of the mitten and the side portions are adapted to form the front of the mitten, one of the said side portions being reduced in width at its rear palm and wrist portion, and having a rear-wardly extending thumb member alongside the reduced portion, and the other side portion having a forwardly extending thumb member, the outer edges of the said side portions of the blank having shoulders at the bases of the said thumb members.
3. A new article of manufacture consisting of a mitten formed of a single blank of material and comprising a middle portion and side portions of which the middle portion is adapted to form the back of themitten, and the side portions adapted to form the front of the mitten, the blank being folded at the juncture of the middle portion with the side portions, with the frontportion overlying the back portion, one of said 1 side portions being reduced in width at its rear palm and wrist portion and having the remaining portion of the width thereof cut to provide a thumb member extending along the reduced portion and curved slightly outwardly and formed with a shoulder at the juncture thereof with the side portion at the base of the thumb member and on the outer edge of the side portion, and the other side portion having a forwardlyextending tapered thumb member terminating short of the tips of the middle and other side portion the second thumb member extending in the opposite direction with respect to the direction of extent of the first thumb member and formed with a shoulder at the junc-' ture thereof with the corresponding side portion and at the outer edge of the latter, said shoulders facing in opposite directions.
