Application January 31, 1944, Serial No. 520,390
2 Claims. 1 g
The present invention relates to gloves, and particularly to the type' of glove having long cuffs or gauntlets.
It is the object of this invention to provide a glove with a cuff that can be tied up around the Wrist of the wearer.
Certain types of gloves, among them some specially designed for use in winter, are provided with cuffs. The culf is made large enough to enclose the adjacent sleeve cuff of the wearer and the purpose is to make a seal against cold, rain and snow. When the cuif is either too large or too small it wrinkles up at the wrist and the result is annoying to say the least. It is one object of this invention to provide a glove with a cuff that can be tightly closed above the wrist over the clothes of the wearer.
An element of the invention resides in the adaptability of its utilitarian features to varied and interesting treatments.
Other objects and features will become apparent from the following description and the accompanying drawing in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts, and in which:
Fig. 1 illustrates a glove with my type of cuff in extended position;
Fig. 2 illustrates the glove with its cuff tied in a knot;
. Fig. 3 is a development of the cuff itself in its simplest form; and
Fig. 4 is a development of a modified form of cuff.
In the drawing, a piece of cloth-like material I, shaped substantially as shown in Fig. 3, and having edges 2, 3, 4 and 5, is joined along its edge 3 to a glove 6 at wrist to form the cuff 8. Edge 3 is as long or longer than the periphery of wrist 1 so that, when attached, edges 2 and 4 either meet or overlap somewhat. In the simplest embodiment of this invention edges 2 and 4 are not permanently joined to each other. However, they maybe sewn together for a short distance from the wrist with good effect.
It should be noted that the cuff thus formed tapers outwardly from the wrist, enough so that the glove, when worn, can have its free ends 9 and Ill tied together in a knot over the arm or the wrist of the wearer as shown in Fig. 2.
For children playing in snow a glove of this type has decided merit. With the proper fabrics this style glove can be adapted for industrial uses. However, its greatest appeal is in the field of accessories for a ladys wardrobe. The material of cloth I and cuif B can be varied in color to harmonize or contrast with glove 6. The material itself can be either woven, knitted, netted, leather, plastic or other material, or a combination of them to suit the occasion or the whim. To heighten the effectthe material of the cuff might be cut as shown in Fig. 4 with edges 2 and 4 arcuate in shape so that ends 9 and It] may be more easily or more effectively tied in a knot. Before tying the knot it is desirable to fold edge 5 of the cuff forward toward wrist seam 1.
In this connection it is important to point out the relation of the split in the cuff to the glove proper. The preferred position is the one in which the split is substantially in line with the thumb. In this position the knot is easiest to tie and, if the fabric is decorative in nature, most effectively displayed. The next preferred position is to have the split substantially at the center of the back of the hand. Of course the utility of the glove is not alfected by the location of the split.
The gauntlet glove herein described can be worn as a gauntlet without tying its free ends into a knot. But it should be pointed out that if the knot is to be tied. and the material of the gauntlet has a grain similar to a Woven or knitted fabric, then in order to have the knot formed properly and to stay tied neatly the material should be cut on the bias. The knot may be single or double as the glove may be designed. A single overhand knot could be supplemented with an ornamental clip without departing from my invention.
From the foregoing description it will be seen that I have devised simple and inexpensive means to accomplish the objects set forth. While I have described the simplest elements adapted to accomplish the purpose, it is obvious that various changes in the material and the arrangement of the component parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the principles of the invention.
What I claim is:
1. A glove provided with a gauntlet cuff extending from the wrist line thereof, said cuff being of a length of the order of the glove length and being provided with a split along substantially its entire length to facilitate the folding of the outer portion of the cuff, said cuff tapering outwardly from said wrist line to such a substantial degree that the free ends of the cuff are adapted to be tied together in a knot to provide a pulse warmer and afford substantial protection against cold, rain and snow.
2. In a glove as defined in claim 1; said cuff being of material cut on the bias.
