Description
March 13, 1956 J. WINSON WATERPROOF MITTENS Filed Dec. 10, 1954 FIG, 2
J va/w M4494;
INVENTOR) Uited States Patent WATERPROOF MITTENS Jonathan Winson, New York, N. Y., assignor to Air Baby, Inc., New York, N. Y., a corporation of New York The present invention is in the glove art and concerns itself particularly with a waterproof mitten having a separate lining.
A waterproof fingered glove may have a separate correspondingly shaped fabric or other desired lining therein to form a two-ply glove structure and even though there is no attachment of said members at the finger tip region, the glove fingers will follow all formations assumed by the wearers fingers. The outer member may be made of blanks of thermoplastic sheeting secured by heat sealing along usual seam lines to provide a waterproof construction. Any format where the lining would be included in such seam would render the gloves pervious to water.
If a waterproof, lined mitten were made in the manner just set forth, that is, with its outer and lining members unsecured to each other at finger tip region, the fourfinger pocket of the outer member would not move along with its lining properly, as for instance, when the wearer would attempt to grab a stick.
It is therefore the principal object of this invention to provide a novel and improved mitten construction in which its outer and lining members are attached at the finger-tip region so that finger formations of the wearers hand are assumed by the mitten; such outer member being of waterproof material, and the manner of its attachment at finger-tip region being such as to maintain the waterproof character of the mitten.
Another object of this invention is to provide a novel and improved mitten construction of the character set forth in which the waterproof character is not molested although the attachment of the outer and lining members is by sewing.
A further object hereof is to provide a novel and improved waterproof mitten construction of the nature described, which is cheap and easy to manufacture and efiicient in carrying out the purposes for which it is designed.
In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Fig. 1 is the palm-side view of a mitten embodying the teachings of this invention.
Fig. 2 is a side View thereof.
Fig. 3 shows the mitten turned inside out, minus the lining member.
Fig. 4 is a section taken at lines 44 in Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is similar to Fig. 3 with the lining member attached.
Fig. 6 is a side view of Fig. 5.
In the drawings, the numeral 15 designates generally a preferred embodiment of my mitten. It includes an outer member 16, a lining 17 therefor, which is preferably made longer than member 16 so that said lining could be turned to form the cuff 17", and a tab 18 extending from the inner finger-tip region of the-outer member 16, to which tab the lining member 17 is secured at the fingertip region. The tab is of thermoplastic material.
The outer member, to be waterproof, is made of two plies of thermoplastic sheeting to provide the front 16 and the back 17'. These front and back members may be 2,737,662 Patented Mar. 13, 1956 die cut and seamed by heat sealing to form them into a pocket. In the embodiment illustrated, there is a, hoie through the front member onto which is heat sealed the month end of a socket of thermoplastic sheeting which serves to house the thumb of the wearer as indicated at 19. The lining may be a woven or knitted fabric or of other soft suitable material. It is of course also provided with a thumb 20, and the entire lining member is of a size to contact the entire inner surface of the outer member when inserted therein.
In manufacture, the outer member 16 is made inside out so that the seam 21 is inside the finished mitten 15. I prefer the tab 18 to be a separate piece which is laid on plies 16', 1'7 as a third ply at the finger-tip region and all three plies are seamed together by the heat sealing device. This arrangement permits the sealing die to trim off a narrow perimetral lane as is usual in the heat sealing art and effect a water-proof seam. The lining member 17 is then secured to the tab 13 in any suitable manner which may even be by sewing the stitch line 22 for engaging the finger-tip region of said lining. The article is now in condition as shown in Figs. 5 and 6. The outer member 16 is now turned to be outside out and the lining member 17 becomes inserted therein and is then turned to form the cuff 17".
The stitch line 22 should be quite near to the seam 21 so that finger formations of the wearer will be assumed by the outer member 16.
It is evident that the mitten is waterproof since there are no stitches or other openings in the seam 21. Also to be noted is that by the trimming operation, the seam 21 is at the very edges of the three plastic plies 16', 17, 18. Of course, tab 18 may be made as an integral part of either of the mitten plies 16' or 17 if desired. In such instance it is practical to fold such tab so that it lies on one of said mitten plies and is so held during the making of the seam 21.
This invention is capable of numerous forms and various applications without departing from the essential features herein disclosed. It is therefore intended and de sired that the structure illustrated and described herein shall be deemed illustrative and not restrictive and that the patent shall cover all patentable novelty herein set forth; reference being had to the following claims rather than to the specific description herein to indicate the scope of this invention.
I claim:
1. In a mitten of the type including a waterproof outer cover and a coextensive heat insulating liner, the improvement wherein the outer cover comprises a front thermoplastic member and a back thermoplastic member connected thereto along the sides and front end, and a thermoplastic connecting element interposed between a portion of the connected edges of the front and back members, the edges being heat sealed forming a unitary leakproof construction with the thermoplastic connecting element, the thermoplastic connecting element being sewed to the liner.
2. In a mitten of the type including a waterproof outer cover and a coextensive heat insulating liner, the improvement wherein the outer cover comprises a front thermoplastic member and a back thermoplastic member connected thereto along the sides and front end, and a thermoplastic connecting element interposed between a portion of the connected edges of the front and back members, the edges being heat sealed forming a unitary leakproof construction with the thermoplastic connecting element, the thermoplastic connecting element being attached by piercing the inner liner.
