CATCHING-GLOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 26, 1905.

Application filed septe mber 30,1904. Serial No. 226,707.

To all whom; it may concern:

Be it known that 1. JOHN A. PEACH, acitizen of the United States, residing at Gloversville, in the county of Fulton and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Catching-Gloves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has relation to catching gloves; and 1t conslsts 1n the novel construction and arrangement of its parts, as hereinafter shown and described.

The object of the invention is to provide a catching-glove consisting of an inner and'outer glove, one nested within the other and both being made of leather. The inner. glove has a pad of peculiar construction attached at the ends of the fingers and thumb, said pad being adapted to rest in the palm of the hand and extend along the inner sides of the fingers between the two gloves. The gloves also are of especial construction particularly adapted for the purpose intended. The inner and outer gloves may be secured together by the ordinary glove-fasteners, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, or in lieu thereof suitable lacing or' any other fastening means may be employed. The said fastening means extends around the wrist and back of the gloves, along the lower member.

tudinal vertical sectional view of the glove,

showing the inner glove nested within the outer glove. Fig. 5 is a side elevation of the pad; and Fig. 6 is an elevation of the pad with the fingers broken away, showing the reverse side thereof.

v The inner and outer glove members are made on the same pattern, it being understood that the dimensions of the inner glove are'sufiiciently smaller to permit the same to slip within the outer glove.

The palm-piece 1 is provided with the inner fingerfacings 2 2. The thumb consists of the inner piece 3, which extends over the tip end of the thumb to the wrist of the glove, and the outer piece 4, which also extends from the tip end of the thumb to the lower back edge of the I glove. The backsrof the fingers 5 5 extend from the finger-tips to the back edge of the glove. The seams between the said parts are located between the fingers and on the back of the glove, with theexception of the seam 6, which extends from the base of the thumb to the wrist. I As illustrated in Figs. 1, 2, and 4, the inner and outer gloves may be secured together with ordinary metallic glove-fasteners; but, as above stated, such fasteners may be substituted by lacing or any other securing means without departing from the spirit of the invention. In view of the fact that theinner glove is the same in construction with the outer glove, the description above givenapplies to both. The padding consists of the piece 7 provided with fingers and a thumb. Said piece is secured at the tips of the fingers and at the tip of the thumb to the tips of the fingers and thumb of the inner glove 8. Otherwise the said pad-piece 7 is not attached to the said glove. An additional pad-piece 9, also provided with fingers to conform to the fingers of the glove 8, is attached at the tips of the fingers and the tip of the thumb to the inner glove 8, but over the pad-piece 7 At the palm the pad-piece 10'is interposed between the pad-piece 7 and the pad-piece 9.. Said pad 10 is secured by stitching to the pad-piece 9. At the base of the palm and extending along the longitudinal axis of the thumb is a pad 11, which is substantially crescent-shaped and is held in position by the pad-covering 12, which is also substantially of the shape of a crescent and which is stitched to the padpiece 9 and the pad 10, as illustrated in Figs. 4:, 5, and 6. It will thus be seen thata glove is provided which thoroughly protects the inner portions of the fingers, the palm of the hand, the Wrist,and the joints between the thumb and the palm. -If desired, webbings may be inserted in the outer glove between i.

the thumb and forefinger or between any of the fingers. The seam 13, which secures the pad 10, extends diagonally across the palm of the pad-piece 9 at the base of the fingers thereof. It will thus be seen that the inner glove may be readily slipped from the outer glove and that any of the pads or pieces thereof may be renewed or replaced.

To assemble the glove, the inner glove is placed upon'the hand and the outer glove is drawn down over the inner glove and the two gloves are then secured together along their lower edges.

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

1. A glove consisting of separable inner and outer members made on the same pattern, one adapted to nest Within the other, a pad interposed between the glove members and being attached to the inner member only.

2. A glove consisting of inner and outer members, one adapted to nest within the other and a suitable securing means for the said members, a pad interposed between the palms of the two members, and having integral linger portions which extend between the fingers of the two glove members, said pad being secured at the ends of the linger portions only to the inner glove member.

3. A glove consisting of two members one nested Within the other and having suitable securing means, a pad interposed between the palms, lingers and thumb of the two members and being secured at the tips ol the lingers and thumb to the inner glove member, a second pad also interposed between the palms, lingers and thumb ol the two glove
