1 Claim. (0!. 2169) The present invention relates to improvements in making gloves of the seamless palm type constructed according to the stick-out thumb pattern. The glove is an improvement upon the construction illustrated in the patent to Raymond, No. 905,365 of December 1, 1908.
An object of the present invention is to provide an improved method of forming a seamless palm glove with form-fitting characteristics. A drawback of such gloves has heretofore been that fullness across the palm could not be removed, with the result that such a glove was never considered suitable for semi-dress, sports wear, or driving gloves, but was more or less limited to use as a heavy work glove. A glove constructed in accordance with our improvement may be made of heavy materials and used as a work glove with all the advantages resulting from the seamless palm construction; however, a primary purpose of the present invention is to provide a glove of suede, kid, buckskin or similar materials for use as a semi-dress, sports, or driving glove.
An object of the present invention is to provide a minimum number of blanks which may be cut with a minimum of wastage, and which when joined together will provide a glove hav ing the foregoing desirable features.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from inspection of the following specification taken in connection with the accompanying drawing wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, while the features of novelty will be more distinctly pointed out in the appended claim.
In the drawing Fig. 1 is a front view of a glove constructed in accordance with our invention as it appears on the hand of a wearer;
Fig. 2 is a side view of the glove as it appears on the hand of a wearer;
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the palm blank, the view being taken on a reduced scale;
Fig. 4 is a plan view of the back blank;
Fig. 5 is a plan view of a thumb insert;
Fig. 6 is a plan view of a second finger fourchette; and
Fig. 7 is a plan view of a third finger fourchette.
The palm blank includes a wrist portion 10 which may have various lengths or shapes depending upon the style of wrist desired, a portion l2 forming the front of the thumb, a portion [3 forming the front of the first finger, and a portion [4 forming the front of the little finger. The portions l3 and i4 preferably flare outwardly at a slight angle to the longitudinal axis of the palm and their inner edges are separated from the palm portion along diagonally disposed slits IS. The thumb portion I2 projects outwardly and downwardly from the base of the first finger portion [3, the side edges of the two portions being substantially straight adjacent their junction, and there being a wide, arcuate notch l6 extending inwardly toward the palm at the junction of the side edges thereof.
The back blank comprises a wrist portion ll, an intermediate portion for covering the back of the hand, and portions l8 to 2| inclusive forming the backs of the first to fourth fingers respectively.
The thumb insert comprises a wrist portion 22, a thumb back portion 23, and an outwardly narrowing tab 24 extending upwardly and outwardly from the rear edge of the base of the thumb. The junction between the tab and the thumb portion is in the shape of a wide arc.
The second finger fourchette 25 comprises a lower edge including an intermediate part 26 for attachment to one of the edges provided by the slits l5, and the third finger fourchette'fl comprises a lower edge including an intermediate portion 28 for joining with the other oi the two edges provided by the slits I5. The iourchettes are attached to the palm blank and the finger portions l9 and 20 of the back blank in the usual manner.
The back blank and the palm blank are joined together throughout the length thereof at the side toward the fourth finger, and the first and fourth finger portions thereof are joined together throughout their lengths by seams includ ing a side seam 30 extending from the tip of the first finger to apoint 3i adjacent the base of the first finger. The thumb insert is interposed between the remainders of the palm blank and back blank and joined thereto by seams including a side seam 32 forming a substantially straight-line prolongation of the side seam 30. The remaining meeting edges of the thumb insert and of the palm blank are joined together by a thumb seam 33 extending from the wrist edge of the glove around the side edges of the thumb into the back of the thumb crotch and then upwardly to a junction with the side seam at the point 3|. A substantial part of the portion of the thumb seam adjacent the side seam lies at a sharply acute angle to the side scam, the angle being in the order of ten to thirty degrees, preferably about ten degrees. The line of stitching in this region is indicated by the dotted line 34 on the thumb blank, illustrating that the tip of 3 the tab 24 is merely of sufficient width to provide material for incorporation in the seams 33 and 32. The portion of the seam 33 lying in the crotch of the thumb includes the edge of the palm blank adjacent the notch I6, the line of stitching in that region being indicated by the dash line -35 on-the' palm blank. Inorder that the edge of the palmblank -adjacent and surrounding the notch l6 may be incorporated in the seam 33 in the region of the thumb notch, the material of the palm blank adjacent the base of the thumb and extending inwardly across the palm of the glove must bestretched or drawn taut to a sufficient extent to permit such iiithe contour of the hand and to cause the portion of the glove surrounding the base of the thumb to fit closelyto the hand regardless of the relative positioning of the fingers and thumb. The seam between the thumb back and the palm lies at the sides of the thumb where it will not be interposed'between the thumb and an object grasped in the hand, such as a steering wheel or tool.
The wrist edge of the glove may be finished in any desired fashion, in this illustration there being a binding 43 extending around the edge in the usual fashion.
Havingillustrated and described a preferred embodiment of the invention, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention permits of modifiication in arrangement and detail. We claim as our invention all such modifications-as come within the true spirit and scope of the appended claim.
We claim:
The method of forming a glove comprising the steps of cutting a'palm blank provided with a palm portion, a thumb front portion, a Wrist portion, and a first finger front portion, said thumb' portion projecting laterally and downwardly from the base of the first finger portion,
and the edge of the palm blank at the junction 4 of the side edges of the first finger and thumb portions having an open arcuate notch therein, cutting a back blank provided with a wrist portion and a first finger back portion, the edge of said back blank at the first finger side thereof extending in substantially a straight line from the tip of the first finger portion to the end of the Wrist portion, cutting a thumbinsert provided with a thumb back portion, and a narrow tab extending upwardly and laterally from the base of said thumb back portion with the edge of the thumb insert at the junction between said tab and the thumb back portion lying along an arc, interposing said thumb insert between the adjacent side edges of said palm-blank and said back blank and stitching the adjacent edges of the three blanks together by means of a straight side seam extending from the tip of the first finger to the edge of the wrist, and a thumb seam extending around the sides of the thumb, arcuatelyabout the back of the thumb crotch and then upwardly to a junction with said side seam at the base of the first finger at a sharply acute angle to said side seam, and while forming'said seams, stretching the palm portion of the palm blank to pull the edge of said notch into alignment with the arcuate edge of said thumb insert between its thumb back portion and its tab whereby to stretch the material of the p'alm'por ticn and to provide a smoothly fitting glove.
