` be a full, clear, and exact description of the glove.

same.

My invention relates to gloves, and it consists of the improved glove hereinafter described and claimed.

Referring to the accompanying drawings for a more complete explanation of my invention-Figure l shows the pattern vof the main body of the glove. Fig. 2 shows -the back piece. Fig. 3 shows the fourchette of the second finger. Fig/L shows the fourchette of the third linger. Fig. 5 shows the pattern of the back ofthe thumb. Fig. 6 is a View showing the front of the completedglove. ,Fig 7 is a view showing the back of the glove.

A is the pattern of the main' body of the This has two slits b in which a point of the fourchette is inserted.

Pattern A forms the entire front or palm of the glove, the entire index nger, and the small finger, and that side of the glove back, and also the front of the thumb. Its sides fold over on the dotted lines d and form complete the index and small ngersfhaving each but one seam c which is thrown up on the back of the fingers on theirinner sides, (Fig.7.)

In the back, the pattern B (Fig. 2) is inserted. This is stitched along one side on the seam b to the main pattern and it forms not only a portion ofthe back, but also the backs of the second and third fingers. To form the' front and sides of these fingers there are the fourchettes C andD (Figs. 3 and 4), the former belonging to the second finger and the latter to the third finger. These fourchettes have, at their bases, a lap m and points n. The fourchettes are inserted in the front, theirlaps m passing under the edge of the? main portion and affording an opportunity to receive as many rows of stitches as may be desirable for strength. l These stitches form seams o on the front of the glove, as will be seen in Fig. 6. The points 'n are inserted in the slits b and seams o secure them.

The fourchettes C and D are made wide Serial No.472.203. (No model.) v

enough to form the front and both sides of their fingers so that the seams c by which they are joined to the back portion B are thrown ou the back of the fingers on each side, as shown in Fig. 7. i

The parts thus described are in the main, with one exception, those that are shown in my previous Patent N o. 282,667, dated August 7, 1883. That exception is in that portion of 6o the main pattern A, herein shown, which provides for the front of the thumb, and for the insertion of the independent piece which forms the .back of the'thumb.

In my previous patent I showed 'a hole in 65 the main pattern in Which might be inserted, as therein stated, any kind of a thumb, and Jit will be observed that the thumb shown in the drawings of that patent is an ordinary one, in which the front and back consist of separate 7o pieces united to each other, and also to the main pattern, front` and back, which thus leave a seam conforming to the line of the ball of the thumb, which is objectionable, land a seam on the back approximately in the line 7 5 ofthe fold of the main pattern on that side.

In my present invention, the portion of the main pattern which forms the front of the thumb, is designated by E, and this part, therefore, constitutes an integralpart of the 8o palm of the glove. It is partially severed from the main pattern on the line e-e, as

'shown in Fig. 1,and said main pattern is cut down on the line e-e'.

In Fig. 5 is seen the pattern of the inde- 85 pendent piece E which includes not only the back of the thumb, but a portion also of the back ofthe glove, the latter portion having a point E2.

Now, as will be seen in Fig. 6, the front E 9o of the thumb, and the back E are joined together on the seam e-e'. They are also joined together down the inner side of the thumb, and thence the point portion E2 of the piece E extends in a seam on the line e-e over to the edge of the back piece, and the Whole other edge of piece E is secured along the seam e3 to the adjacent edge of the back piece B of the glove. This seam e3 represents any seam/which may be in the back Ico `of the glove and Vis not dependent upon position, nor as being formed partly by a separate back piece, such as B, but for practical purposes the particular construction and position are deemed best. By thus cutting the thumb, I avoid any seam in the crease or line of the ball of the thumb, thus making it seamless. I am also enabled to cut to an advantage and to conform the thumb to the natural position of the thumb of the hand both in front and in the back.

Having thus described myinvention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A glove constructed of the main portion fashioned to form the front,one side and the index and small fingers of the body of the glove, said portion having formed integral with the palm thereof, the front E of the REUBEN RAYMOND.
