Abstract

A holding frame with interior tabs is attached inside an outer surface of a glove in a normal wrist watch position. A watch head with an outer peripheral groove in an outer perimeter matching an inner edge of the frame is snapped into the holding frame with the frame tabs snapping into the watch groove.

Claims

1. A watch glove combination device with a simple snap-on clean uncluttered mounting, the device comprising in combination:

a glove comprising a finger portion, a palm portion covering a palm of a wearer, a back of the glove portion covering a back of the hand of the wearer, the back of the glove portion comprising at least one surface covering at least one outer layer of glove fabric having an outer surface exposed to view and an inner surface facing the back of the hand of the wearer;

a watch head comprising a face for viewing a time of day, a circular outer peripheral edge with an annular groove indented therein around at least a portion of the edge, and a control knob protruding from the outer peripheral edge;

a holding frame comprising a substantially annular structure having an open center and having an inner perimeter matching the outer peripheral edge of the watch head, spaced tabs protruding inwardly from the inner perimeter to snap fit into the watch groove, and a break in the annular structure to admit the control knob within the break and to enable the holding frame to expand to admit the watch head therein and to enable the holding frame to expand to release the watch head therefrom, the holding frame attached to the inner surface of the at least one outer layer of the glove fabric on the back of the glove portion so that the watch removably snaps onto the outside surface of the at least one outer layer of glove fabric on the back of the glove portion with the watch head removably snap-fit into the holding frame thereby forcing a compressed circular portion of the at least one outer layer of the glove fabric into an open center of the holding frame with an annular portion of the at least one outer layer of the glove fabric sandwiched between the watch head and the holding frame, with the tabs inserted in the annular groove of the watch by compressing a portion of the at least one outer layer of the glove fabric adjacent to each of the tabs into the groove for an instantly attachable and removable watch glove combination for viewing the time on the back of the glove portion.

2. The watch glove combination device of claim 1 wherein the glove further comprises a piece of material attached to the back of the glove portion, the piece of material comprising an inner surface facing the hand of the wearer and an out visible surface and the holding frame is attached to the inner surface of the piece of material attached to the glove.

3. The watch glove combination device of claim 2 wherein the piece of material comprises a glove strap.

4. The watch glove combination device of claim 1 comprising a sewing means for attaching the holding frame to the glove.

5. The watch glove combination device of claim 1 comprising an adhesive means for attaching the holding frame to the glove.
