1 Claim. c1. z--1s9 This invention relates to gloves and a method of manu facturing the same.
An object of this invention is to provide a method of manufacturing gloves, and the glove is so constructed that it will fit a greater range of sizes. In the past the glove industry has been confronted with the problem of manufacturing gloves in such a manner that it would be possible to use all types of fabrics and leathers without regard to whether or not the material would stretch or conform to the hand.
In the fitting of gloves there are two main elements involved. First, the length and diameter of the fingers and, second, the breadth and length of the hand. The industry has experienced difiiculty in providing gloves which would fit properly on hands which measure the same across the hand where the length of the fingers varied. Furthermore, where there was no stretch in the material or leather a glove would have to be made which was necessarily large enough to spread across the hand in order to get it on. This was true as to all types of gloves including work gloves, dress gloves, driving gloves and gloves used for riding, golf and other sports.
An object of this invention is to provide a glove whether made of leather or fabric in which the size of the glove is transferred from the basic material used to a continuous band or fourchette made out of elastic material and to provide the thumb with an elastic insert of the same material to insure the thumb fit. The usage of this strip or band from the side of the hand through the fingers to the other side of the hand, plus the band in the thumb, enables the manufacturer to take into consideration the contours of the hand which in some cases are wider than in others, even though the measurement along the back of the hand may be the same. By way of example, a size 6 /2 ladies glove may not fit all 6 /2 hands as gloves are presently made, but with the present invention all 6%. hands may be fitted properly with one glove. By the improvement of my invention many sizes now being made may be eliminated, for instance, quarter sizes in mens and womens gloves. This obviously would eliminate the necessity for carrying a large stock of multiple sizes.
A further object of the invention is to provide for the use of an elastic material of uniform width so that the material may be used with all sizes and types of gloves.
With these objects and improvements in mind reference is had to the accompanying drawings in which- Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a glove embodying my improvement showing the palm of the glove.
Fig. 2 is an elevation similar to Fig. l but showing the back of the glove.
Fig. 3 is an unlarged crosssectional view taken on the line 33 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a detailed view of one type of material suitable for use in the practice of my invention.
It will be appreciated that the design of the glove shown is merely for the purposes of illustrating the invention and that it is applicable to any type of glove.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, the glove 10 is provided with the usual front or palm section 11 and the usual back section 12. These sections may be cut in the flat without the necessity of an overlap or flap for the conventional fourchette. The thumb comprises a separate back section blank 14 and a separate palm section blank, both of which are stitched to the palm section 11 and to each other along one edge in the usual manner of means of stitching, such as 15. A strip of elastic material 20 of uniform width is used to join the palm and back sections and to constitute continuous fourchettes between the fingers. In other words, a single strip of the material 20 is stitched to both the front and back portions from a point 21 adjacent the cuff of the glove through the fourchette portions 22 of the fingers 23, down the other side of the hand to a point 24 adjacent the cuff at the opposite side. The stitching 26 may be done on the conventional machines and since the elastic fourchette is continuous may be done in one operation. Similarly, the thumb 14 is provided with a strip of the material 20 to join the two edges together and to provide for suitable stretch in the thumb itself.
While my invention is not limited to any particular type of elastic material I have found that a tape material of uniform width consisting of panels 27 and 28 joined together by an elastic cross-stitching 29 is the most satisfactory in operation and decorative in appearance. The panels 27 and 28 being somewhat firmer than the joining stitching 29 are readily sewn to fabric or leather without distorting. The use of this material of uniform width eliminates the stocking of a large variety of materials and, of course, eliminates the cutting of the individual pieces going into the fourchettes of the conventional gloves.
At the same time I produce a glove which will fit hands of the same width but of different finger length and will properly fit hands of the same finger length but of ditferent width. Because of its flexibility the hand portion will fit without wrinkles or distortion of the basic material and present a much better appearance than present day gloves. The method permits the usage of all materials whether stretchable or not or a combination of materials such as fabric and leather or different types of leathers having different characteristics in the same glove.
I claim:
A glove comprising a back section and a palm section disposed in a face to face relation to each other; means yieldably connecting said sections together along their peripheral edges and including three panels, one of which panels presents a stitch-receiving area along one of its longitudinal margins and is connected along its opposite longitudinal margin to said back section at the peripheral edge thereof and the second of which panels presents a stitch-receiving area along one of its longitudinal margins and is connected along its opposite longitudinal margin to said palm section at the peripheral edge thereof, and said third panel comprising an elastic cross-stitching joining said first two mentioned panels together at their respective stitch-receiving areas, whereby said back section and said palm section are connected to each other in a displaceable relation with respect to each other.
