Abstract
Abstract A glove to be worn by a barber upon two adjacent fingers for controlling the hair being cut includes a pair of fingers receiving coverings adapted to enclose the adjacent fingers. The finger coverings have side surfaces disposed in confronting relation to be moved by their supporting fingers into and out of engagement with each other so as to engage and hold strands of hair therebetween. Means forming the coverings cause the confronting surfaces of the coverings to meet substantially uniformly throughout the length of the confronting surfaces so as to substantially uniformly engage all hair disposed between the confronting surfaces when the surfaces are moved into engagement. Means for lifting in predetermined varying degree the distal ends of the hair disposed between the two fingers include embodiments employing various protrusions disposed in predetermined arrangements for purposes of engaging the hair and lifting some strands more than others in a predetermined pattern. The last named means includes embodiments disclosing recesses formed in a finger covering and adapted to receive arcuate protruding detents carried by the other finger covering. In addition, arcuately protruding detents are arranged to engage and press into a cushion carried by the finger covering of the other finger. Two additional embodiments show other means providing a lifting of the hair in a predetermined varying amount to provide a predetermined preselected cut of the distal ends of the hair. The foregoing arrangement carries out an appropriate method also disclosed.

106 words
In a glove to be worn by a barber over two adjacent fingers of the hand which controls the hair, the improvement comprising a pair of finger-receiving coverings adapted to enclose said adjacent fingers, said finger coverings having side surfaces disposed in confronting relation to be moved by their supporting fingers into and out of engagement with each other so as to engage and hold strands of hair therebetween, means forming said coverings to cause said surfaces to meet substantially uniformly throughout the length thereof so as to substantially uniformly engage all the hair disposed between the confronting surfaces when said surfaces are moved into engagement.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
106 words
In a glove to be worn by a barber over two adjacent fingers of the hand which controls the hair, the improvement comprising a pair of finger-receiving coverings adapted to enclose said adjacent fingers, said finger coverings having side surfaces disposed in confronting relation to be moved by their supporting fingers into and out of engagement with each other so as to engage and hold strands of hair therebetween, means forming said coverings to cause said surfaces to meet substantially uniformly throughout the length thereof so as to substantially uniformly engage all the hair disposed between the confronting surfaces when said surfaces are moved into engagement.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
In a glove according to claim 1 comprising an uninterrupted series of grooves formed in at least one of said side surfaces to extend transversely of the axis of the finger supporting same for mutually aligning the hair disposed between said fingers.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
In a glove according to claim 1 including means carried by at least one of said coverings and serving to form said coverings to be mutually coextensive.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
62 words
In a glove according to claim 1 comprising means serving to build up the top and bottom of said coverings to provide upon engagement of said confronting side surfaces a ridge extending along the top and bottom of the interface defined between said side surfaces upon engagement for permitting scissors to be guiDed by either of said ridges when laid upon same.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
76 words
In a glove according to claim 4 in which said means serving to build up the top and bottom of said coverings to provide said ridges serves to dispose the ridge defined at the top of said glove at a level adapted to be spaced and disposed sufficiently above the knuckles of the fingers associated with said ridge to provide protection against cutting of the barber''s knuckles in the handling of scissors lodged against said ridge.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
54 words
In a glove according to claim 1 comprising means carried by at least one of said coverings and serving to lift in a predetermined varying degree the distal ends of hair engaged between said side surfaces to permit a linear cut by scissors to form a serrated end edge to a layer of hair.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
115 words
In a glove to be worn by a barber over two adjacent fingers of the hand which controls the hair, the improvement comprising a pair of finger-receiving coverings adapted to enclose said adjacent fingers, said finger coverings having side surfaces disposed in confronting relation to be moved by their supporting fingers into and out of engagement with each other so as to engage and hold strands of hair therebetween, and means carried by at least one of said coverings and serving to lift in predetermined varying degree the distal ends of hair engaged between said side surfaces to permit a linear cut by scissors to form a serrated end edge to a layer of hair.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
115 words
In a glove to be worn by a barber over two adjacent fingers of the hand which controls the hair, the improvement comprising a pair of finger-receiving coverings adapted to enclose said adjacent fingers, said finger coverings having side surfaces disposed in confronting relation to be moved by their supporting fingers into and out of engagement with each other so as to engage and hold strands of hair therebetween, and means carried by at least one of said coverings and serving to lift in predetermined varying degree the distal ends of hair engaged between said side surfaces to permit a linear cut by scissors to form a serrated end edge to a layer of hair.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
66 words
In a glove according to claim 7 in which the last named means comprises a series of protrusions spaced along the side surface of said one covering for engaging hair between said confronting side surfaces and urging hair engaged by said protrusions into portions of the other one of said side surfaces so as to lift the distal ends of the hair engaged by said protrusions.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
34 words
In a glove according to claim 8 further comprising a surface portion formed along said other one of said side surfaces to permit said surface portion to conform to said protrusions upon engagement therewith.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
107 words
In a glove according to claim 8 comprising a series of arcuately formed recesses disposed in spaced relation along said other one of said side surfaces, said protrusions including arcuately formed and protruding detents disposed in predetermined spaced relation along said side surface of said one covering in position for entry into said recesses upon closure of said side surfaces, and mating surface portions flanking said detents and said recesses so as to substantially uniformly engage all the hair disposed between the confronting surfaces when said surfaces are moved into engagement while lifting the distal ends of hair engaged between said side surfaces in predetermined varying amounts.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
