4 Claims. (Cl. 2-1'59') The present invention relates to a glove construction and it particularly relates to a glove construction in which there is a sleeve-like extension over the wrist or arm of the wearer.

It is among the objects of the present invention to provide an improved, better-fitting, more attractive glove of leather or fabric or a combination of leather and fabric for use, particularly by women, which may be made inexpensively and which will be altogether devoid of tendency to slide down upon the arm or wrist of the wearer, even though it has sleeve-like extension over such wrist or arm.

Still further objects and advantages will appear from the more detailed description set forth below, it being understood, however, that this more detailed description is given by way of illustration and explanation only, and not by way of limitation, since various changes therein may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.

In accomplishing the above objects, it has been most satisfactory to form the sleeve-like extension, in part or whole, where it extends over the wrist or the arm of an elastic fabric or band, the elasticity of which is preferably confined to a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the arm.

Desirably extending reversely or downwardly from the elastic fabric or band back towards the glove, there is provided a sleeve or cuff or leather, fabric or a combination of both.

In the desired construction, the elastic fabric should not stretch longitudinally of the arm and where the sleeve extends a substantial distance along the arm, it is often found desirable to insert non-elastic fabric between the terminal portions or spaced portions of the elastic fabric.

Desirably, the elastic fabric consists of ends extending around the periphery of the arm which include a cut or rounded rubber core which have been wound spirally in opposite directions with a non-elastic yarn.

Referring to the drawing which illustrates one of the embodiments according to the present invention, to which the invention is by no means restricted, since the drawing is merely by way of illustration and not by way of limitation,

Fig. 1 is a longitudinal elevational view of a glove construction according to the present invention with the sleeve extension of the glove partly broken away to more clearly show the construction thereof,

Fig. 2. is a similar view showing the glove construction of Fig. 1 as having a sleeve portion only extending over the wrist,

Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1 of an alternative embodiment, said view being a longitudinal elevational view partly broken away more clearly to show the construction,

Fig. 4 is a side perspective view showing the application of the gloves of Fig. 1 to the hand and forearm of a wearer.

Referring to Fig. l, the glove A may be of the usual leather and/or fabric construction and. is provided with an extension B of an elastic fabric with an overlying inturned cuff C.

The elastic fabric B has stretch in the direction It, but does not have any stretch in the direction II, and it may be sewed as indicated at the double line of stitching at I2 and I3 to the inturned portion I 4 of leather or fabric of the cuff C, and the extension l5 from the trank l6 of the glove respectively.

The reverse cuff C is turned forwardly as indicated at 11 and extends as indicated at H! over the elastic fabric B and terminates at IE to cover the line of junction between the trank l5 and the fabric B, and also the stitching l3 which has an inturned edge as indicated at 20.

The glove of Fig. 1, when worn as shown in Fig. 4, gives a most desirable appearance inasmuch as the elastic B acts as a support while the outer fabric C enables wide variation in the styling and draping appearance of the glove.

The glove as shown in Fig. 1 may be of gauntlet length as shown for example in Fig. 2 where the reverse sleeve C only extends over the wrist with the fabric B also limited to the wrist of the wearer.

Instead of using an elastic fabric B, it is also possible to utilize stiff supporting materials such as buckram, but generally elastic fabrics, which will not too tightly fit upon the wrist or arm of the wearer may also be used.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, the fabric B is not elastic, but it has elastic bands as indicated at 30 and 3!, which separate or are stitched to the junction of the sleeve B and the trank I6 and the inturned edge I4 of the reverse cuff or sleeve C If desired several of these bands 30 and 3[ may be employed at spaced intervals along the length of the glove.

Although not preferred, it would also be possible to use two way stretch fabrics, or even fabrics which might stretch longitudinally.

It will be understood that many changes could be made in the particular features as shown, and many apparently widely different embodiments of this invention could be made without departing from the scope thereof, and it is intended that all matter contained in the above description shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

What is claimed is:

1. A glove construction comprising a hand portion and a double sleeve extending upward therefrom, said sleeve elements being attached together adjacent to the upper ends thereof and being devoid of; attachment adjacent to the lower ends thereof the inner sleeve being elastic and being attached to the hand portion.

2. A glove construction comprising a hand portion and a double sleeve extending upward therefrom said sleeve elements being attached together adjacent to the upper ends thereof and being devoid of such detachment adjacent to the lower ends thereof, the inner sleeve being attached to the hand portion and having elastic elements peripherally thereof and being nonelastic longitudinally thereof.

3. A glove construction comprising a hand portion and a double sleeve extending upward therefrom, said'sleeve elements being attached together adjacent to the upper ends thereof and being devoid of such attachment adjacent to the lower ends thereof the inner sleeve being attached to the hand portion having elastic bands at the top and bottom thereof.

4. A glove construction comprising a hand portion and a double sleeve extending upward therefrom, said sleeve elements being attached together adjacent to the upper ends thereof and being devoid of attachment adjacent to the lower ends thereof and the inner sleeve having elastic strands peripherally thereof and being non-elastic longitudinally thereof.
