GLOVE-FASTENING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 466,503, dated January 5, 1892.

Application filed April 21, 1891. $eriel No. 389,779. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALONZO O. MATHER, of Chicago, county of Cook, in the State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Glove-Fastenings, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

The object of my invention is to provide a cheap, efficient, and strong fastening for ladies kid gloves in the nature of a hook without prongs or upset eyelets, on account of the fineness of the material used in gloves of this kind and sensitiveness of ladies wrists to projections of prongs or upset eyelets. By reference to the accompanying drawings it will be seen that by constructing the gloves in the manner shown I am enabled to insert my hook between the tapes with the back resting against and over the welt of the glove, which holds it in a perfectly firm and secure place without any other fastening than that of a few stitches.

In the accompanying drawings, in which the same letters refer to the same parts, Figure 1 is a plan View of the wrist of the glove. Fig. 2 is one of my hooks, as shown in perspective, as struck up from metal blank of suitable size and form. Fig. 3 is a side view with the glove shown in sections to more clearly illustrate my invention. Fig. 4: is a side view with a few stitches applied to more securely hold the hook in its place. Fig. 5 is a back view with the hook in its place and the glove partly shown in sections. Fig.6 represents the manner in which I construct the slit of my glove in order to apply my hook, as it will be more fully explained hereinafter.

In the drawings, Ais the hook; B, the head; 0, the neck, and D the shoulder.

12 is the shank, and F the base-plate.

a' is the kid or material from which the glove is made. E is the welt stitched to the edge thereof, and c are double tapes stitched to the free edge of the welt E. d is a small hole cut through the kid, through which I insert the base of my hook; also through the upper tape a. It will be observed that the instantIdraw my tape down to its place the lower seam of the Welt E will fold itself in against the upper seam of the welt, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 3, and the broad shoulder on the base of my hook will draw itself securely into the crotch of the tape 0 0, its shank resting against and shoulder over the welt, making the whole construction firm and secure, as if it were secured by prongs or eyelets without even any sewing, except drawing the two tapes down and stitching theni in place under the main part of the glove. I provide, however, holes e e in the base-plate of my hook, through which I can fasten and draw the tape to the material of which the glove is made, still adding greater secureness to my construction without any objectionable project-ions to hurt the wrists, as shown in Fig. 4.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is 1. A glove-fastening comprising a baseplateprovided with slots for a passing thread and having an oval head, a bent neck connected to the head, and a shank between the neck and base-plate, substantially asdescribed.

2. The combination of a hook comprising an oval head, bent neck, shank, and slotted base-plate, with a glove having a welt secured to its edge and adapted to bear against the shank of the hook, and the tapes secured to the welt, passing above and below the baseplate, substantially as described.
