1*1 Clairns; (Cl;-2--162) ,This invention relates to gloves, and more particularly to means for effecting a snug and secure fit of a glove around the Wrist of the wearerwhile producing an ornamental gathered effect.

To this end provision is made of a piece of elastic which is disposed to. extend transversely of the glove at the wrist portion and which is secured to the glove at its ends.

Morespecificfeatures of the invention have. to do with means for detachably securing the elastic in place, as by means of buttons, and with means for providing a double lock forthle buttons.

Other features of the invention have to do-with ways of mounting and. covering the elastic so as to produce desired effects. I

Other objects and advantages will hereinafter appear.

i The present application is a continuation in part of my pending application Serial No. 71,828

filed March 31, 1936 for Wearing apparel.

In the form of the invention disclosed in Figs. 1 and 2 a glove 1 has applied to its inner face transversely of the Wrist portion a narrow rib bon or tape 2 of flexiblefabric. The. fabric is tacked to the glove material at a number of equally spaced points .3 along its opposite margins and is stitched to the glove material at its ends. The ribbon forms, with the body of the glove, an enclosure for receiving a strip of elastic 4. The ends of the elastic are passed around central cross bars 5 of slides 6 and tacked by stitching I. The ribbon 2 is provided with transverse slits 8 near its ends which are desirably worked as buttonholesto prevent the edges from fraying. The elastic 4 is normally of less length than the dis tance between the slits 8 so that when the elastic is inserted the glove and ribbon material is caused to gather.

The elastic is put in place by inserting one of the slides 6 through one of the slits 8, then across the passage between the ribbon and the glove body and through the other slit 8. The slides act as buttons to retain the elastic in place. The elastic serves to gather the glove material between the ends of the elastic and thereby to reduce the length of the glove periphery at the wrist portion while leaving the same free to be extended. The spaced tacks 3 cause the glove material to be gathered in a series of neatly arranged folds or pu'ckers.

When the gloves are to be cleaned the elastic can be readily removed from them by unbuttoning one of the slidesand drawing it out through the slit 8 at the opposite end of the passage-way from that at which it is normally located in use.

In the form of the invention disclosed in Figs. 3 to 5 a glove lot has a ribbon 2a stitched at its' ends to the outer face of the glove and tacked by stitches 3a. at intervals along one margin of the ribbon. A piece of elastic 40L provided with slides to at its ends is threaded through a series of slits 9 which are formed in the glove material 2a. An even number of slits 9 is desirably provided so that the slides maybe received in the space between the ribbon and the glove material. The elastic and the slides are concealed by the ribbon, and the wearers wrist is protected from contact with the slides by the interposed material of the glove body. When it is desired to remove 4 the elastic, access to it may be had by folding back the ribbon, which is free along one margin.

In the form of the invention disclosed in Figs. 6 and '7 a glove lb has a ribbon 2b tacked by stitchesi-lb located at uniform intervals to its outer face. The ribbon is provided with buttonholes [0 at its opposite ends and with additional openings ll adjacent the buttonholes. An elastic band 41) is provided with buttons 6b at its opposite ends. Elastic cords 12 are stitched to the elastic band to form loops. The elastic band is first inserted and buttoned in the same manner as the elastic band of Figs. 1 and 2. The elastic loops l2 are then drawn through the openings ,H and passed around the associated buttons 6b. The elastic loops form a secondary or safety lock for the buttons =6b and thereby serve both to assure the retention of the buttons in place and to relieve the buttonholesof strain.

In the form of the'invention disclosed in Figs. 8 and 9 the glove lc has a ribbon 2c tacked to the inner face of the glove material and disposed at the inner side of the glove.

the ribbon 20. A piece of elastic has buttons 60 connected to its ends through inelastic loops or cords IS. The buttons are adapted to. be

passed outward through buttonholes-ltlcformed Y in the glove material. Locking tab'si jl are stitched to theends of the elastic 4c and each may be passed around the associated end of the elastic through the associated loop l3 and out through an opening I 5 formed in the glove material. Each tab I4 is provided with a buttonhole l6 adapted to be buttoned over' the associated button So. It is desirably made of an attractive fabric which harmonizes with the material of the glove.

In the form of the invention shown in Figs. 10 and 11 a. glove id is provided with a series of parallel slits 9d. A piece of elastic M1 is enclosed in a fabricsheath l1. Buttons 6d are-secured to the ends of the sheathed elastic and are adapted to be passed outward through buttonholes lll d formed in the glove material; Lockinggtabs Md are stitched to the. outer side: ofthe sheath ll 7 and each is adaptedto be passed outward through one of: the slits, 9d and to be buttoned to the as sociated button Ed by means of abuttonhole Hid with which the tab ,is provided. The sheathed elastic is threaded through the glove material between the buttonholes 10d, being passed through each of the slits 9d sothat it overlies alternate strips of glovematerial. .The sheath H, as well as the tabs Md; are desirably formed of a fabric which harmonizes with theglove material.

While I have illustrated and described in de- .tail certain preferred forms of my invention, it

is to be understood that changes may be made therein and the invention embodied inother structures. I do not, therefore, desire'to limit myself to the specific constructions illustrated,

but intend to cover myinvention broadly inwhat ever form its principle may be utilized.
