3 Claims.
This invention relatesto gloves, and more particularly to an improved fourchette for gloves of such shape as to reduce the bulk of material between the fingers and simplify the process of manufacturing gloves.
Gloves as commonly manufactured comprise front and back blanks, including finger parts integral therewith; and fourchettes located between and sewed to said parts to form the fingers of the glove. The fourchettes are usually blanked out with diverging elongated portions connected at one end and these elongated portions are stitched to adjacent finger parts. Gloves of the better grade as heretofore made include another piece which has been located between each finger at the apex between the diverging portions of each fourchette and sewed to the fourchette at the back blank side. This additional piece, or quirk, is used for the purpose of giving greater freedom of motion to the fingers by providing additional material and fullness where the fingers are articulated with the palm. Heretofore it has been the practice to formthese quirks as independent pieces and such construction has required not only a considerable amount of additional work in cutting, fitting and stitching, but has necessitated stitching at a point where additional bulk is objectionable in a glove. The primary object of my invention is to provide a glove including in its structure an improved fourchette wherein these objections are eliminated. The invention includes within its scope the novel fourchette which consists of divergent side portions having a pointed web extending between them adjacent to the vertex of the fourchette.
These and other features of the invention will be best understood and appreciated from the following description of a preferred embodiment thereof, selected for purposes of illustration and shown in the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a plan View of a glove blank used in making a glove embodying my invention;
Fig. 2 is a plan view of one form of novel fourchette designed in accordance with my invention;
Fig. 3 is a view in longitudinal section taken on line 3--3 of-Fig. 4;
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary rear view of the glove showing the fourchette sewed to the finger parts and body portions of the blanks;
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary view showing the fourchette sewed to the glove back portion of the blank; and
Fig. 6 is a rear view of the glove adjacent fingers spread apart to a position more showing two clearly illustrating the novel fourchette in its position in the glove.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, a complete blank is shown in Fig. 1 as comprising the front and back portions l0 and I2 and the integral finger parts [4. In constructing a glove from such a blank, these portions ill and I! are folded one upon the other in position bringing the respective finger parts into overlapping and registering relation. It will be noted that the finger parts of the front portion In are shorter than the finger parts of the back portion l2. The gaps between the adjacent finger parts are then filled and closed by the application of fourchettes thereto.
The fourchette blank 3 shown in Fig. 2 has two elongated side elements diverging from a common vertex and, as an integral part thereof, a web portion [8 located at the apex between the inner edges of the two side elements and merging into them. In forming a glove with this fourchette, the outer edges 20 may first be sewed to the finger parts of the back portion I2 of the blank, as shown in Fig. 5, and the inner edges 22 of the side elements are then sewed to the corresponding finger parts of the front portion III, the free edge of the web I 8 being sewed to the palm portion of the blank and to the junction of the finger parts therewith, all substantially as shown in Figs. 4 and 6. As thus constructed, the finger parts are entirely closed to form the fingers of the glove.
It will be noted that the fourchette blank (Fig. 2) is formed with the two side elements thereof disposed in such diverging relation as to provide an acute angle therebetween, so that the web l8 which occupies the included angle formed by the .juncture of the two edges 22 is of considerable area. The forward or free edge of the web portion l8 of the fourchette is convex or extended in a centrally disposed angle away from the vertex. It will, therefore, be apparent that when the two elements of the fourchette are brought into closer relation, as in Fig. 5, the web portion l8 will provide such an excess of material or fullness as to permit freedom of movement 'of the fingers relative to the body of the glove.
Heretofore in manufacturing many types of' gloves it has been the practice to stitch the quirk to the fourchette in slightly overlapping relation-with the result that a considerable bulk of material and a more or less stiff seam must be crowded intothe gloove at the base of each finger where it has to be bunched together in wear. It
will be apparent that in eliminating the overlapping quirk material and the quirk seam I have not only brought about smooth fit and comfortable wear in my novel glove, but also reduced and simplified the process of its manufacture.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A fourchette blank for a glove comprising a single piece of material having two elongated side elements converging at an acute angle to a vertex, and an integral web filling the vertex of the internal angle between said converging elements and having edges converging to a reversely directed vertex located-substantially midway between the inner edges of said side elements.
2. A fourchette blank for a glove comprising a single piece of leather having two elongated side elements converging at an acute angle to a vertex, and an integral web disposed in the internal angle between said converging elements and bounded by a transverse edge having an outwardly directed angle therein.
3. A glove comprising front and back blanks including finger parts integral therewith, a fourchette stitched between adjacent finger parts and comprising an integral blank having side elements converging to a vertex and a web disposed in the internal angle between said converging elements and bounded by a transverse edge having an outwardly directed angle therein, said edge being stitched to the front blank of the glove.
