ARCHERY GLOVES Filed Aug. 18, 1952 Z5 Z5 INVENTOR WALTER R. GAR'DOCK/ United States Patent ARCHERY GLOVES WalterR. Gardocki, Milwaukee, Wis. Application August 18,1952, Serial No. 304,894 4 Claims. (Cl. 2-161) The present invention relates to archery gloves.
An object of the invention is to provide an improved archery glove which is so arranged as to facilitate proper fitting thereof to the hands of difierent wearers.
Another object is to provide an archery glove having interchangeable finger stalls which can be individually tensioned and which. when worn out by bowstring manipulation can be readily be replaced at relatively low cost.
A further object is to provide an archery glove which is of simple and durable construction and which is ca.- pable of inexpensive manufacture.
The invention further consists in the several features hereinafter described and claimed.
in the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 is a plan view of an archery glove constructed in accordance with the invention;
Fig. 2 is a detail view of a flexible back member of the glove;
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken generally on the line 33 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view of one of the finger stalls, taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. l, and
Fig. 5 is a side view of a modified form of finger stall, parts being broken away and parts being shown in section.
Referring to the drawing, the numeral 19 designates generally an archery glove of the invention. The glove, which is hereinafter more fully described, comprises a plurality of finger stalls 11 adjustablly secured to a flexible back panel or back piece 12 having at its rear portion a wrist-encircling strap or band 13.
The back member or panel 12, which is made of suitable fiexible material such as leather, is adapted to engage the back of an archers hand and is formed at its rear corners with radially extending tongues 14 and 15, the latter carrying a snap button 16, Fig. 2. The wristencircling strap 13, which is made of leather or other suitable material, has an end portion attached to the tongue 14, as by stitching 17, and carries at its other end portion a slidably adjustable buckle 18 formed with a socket 19, Fig. 2, adapted for detachable engagement with the snap button 16. The back member and its strap are here shown to be provided with marginal stitching 20 for reinforcement and ornamentation.
A fingerstall retainer or holder 21 is secured to the outer side of the back member or panel and comprises an E-shaped piece of leather or other flexible material having a transversely extending folded rear portion 22 and three forwardly projecting parallel tongues reversely folded to form loops 23. The folded rear portion 22 is attached by lines of stitching 24 to the back member, and the loops have reversely turned ends 25, Fig. 3, which are disposed within the folded portion and are secured by the stitching 24. Buckles 26 of the slide type are secured to the respective loops 23, an intermediate bar of each buckle passing through the corresponding loop.
The finger stalls 11 are provided for the first, second cordovan leather, the outturned edges of which are secured by lines of stitching 28 to the opposite outturned 'side edges of the front end portion of a flexible leather strap 29, this end portion of the strap forming the back or outer side of the finger stall. The stitching 28 is preferably continued rearwardly along the margins of the strap. Each finger stall 11 is shown to have a closed front end formed by a reversely turned terminal tongue '30 on the channel member 27, the rearwardly projecting end of the .tongue extending longitudinally over the front .end of the strap 29 and being secured to the strap by a line of stitching 31. The rear portions of the three finger stall straps 29 are detachably secured in the corresponding buckles 26 of the retainer 21 and are longitudinally adjustable to suit the length of the archers fingers. The leather channel members of the finger stalls are adapted to engage a bowstring and are indented thereby during the draw.
The modified form of finger stall 11' shown in Fig. 5 has an open front end and comprises a channel member 27' stitched to the front end portion of a strap 29. Except for the open front end the finger stall 11 is similar to the finger stall 11.
To accommodate the requirements of dilferent wearers, the finger stalls are made in several sizes, this being effected by varying the size of the channel members 27 so as to fit fingers of different thickness. It is usually suificient to make the back piece in two sizes, one for men and the other for women and children.
In fitting the glove to an archers hand, the fingers F are inserted into the three finger stalls 11, which have been selected for size, and the back member 12 is secured to the users hand by the wrist strap 13, the buckle 13 being adjusted on the strap to obtain a snug fit. The finger stall straps 29 are then individually adjusted in the retainer buckles 26 to accommodate difierences in finger lengths and to provide the desired tension on the finger stalls.
The finger stalls are subjectto severe wear by bowstring manipulation, but when one or more of the finger stalls become unserviceable they can be easily and inexpensively replaced.
What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In an archery glove, a flexible back panel adapted to engage the back of a wearers hand, a wrist strap secured to the rear portion of said back panel, forwardly projecting loops secured to said back panel, buckles secured to said respective loops and overlying said back panel, said back panel extending forwardly and laterally beyond said overlying buckles, finger stalls of tough pliable material, and attaching straps connected to the respective finger stalls at the backs thereof and secured to said respective buckles in longitudinally adjustable position for individually tensioning said finger stalls.
