WILLIAM WfSWA'NN, O VF RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.
Letters Patent No. 103,522, dated May 24, 1870.
IMPROYEMENT IN OVERSHOES.
The Schedule referred to-in these Letters Patent and `making part ofthe same.
To all lwhom 'it may oonecrn:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM W. SWAN-N, of Richmond, in the county of -Henrico and State .of Virginia, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Overshoes for sloppy and muddy weather;
and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexeddrawings making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of my invention as applied to the foot.
Figure 2 .is a central longitudinal section 'of the same.v
Figure 3 is a rear view,V showing the manner of applying the ankle-straps.
My invention relates -to means for preserving the leather of shoes from moisture, and thereby aiding in the maintenance of good health, and consists, mainly, in the construction and novel arrangement of devices designed to serve as a substitute for the ordinary gum overshoe, without being liable to its objections.
Ihe letter A of the drawings designates the front sole designed to receive the ball of the foot.
It is made of wood, end isv connected to the heel B, ot similar material, by the strips C of leather or flexible metal.
I) D are ankle-straps attached to the heel, and arranged to cross in rear of the ankle, and to buckle in front.
E E are leather aps attached to the sides of the sole A, and provided with means for being.. laced up over the front of the shoe, along the top. The front of the sole A is beveled or curved up from the tread lto prevent stumbling.
Bothsole and heel are covered on the bottom with sheet-iron'plates z z, and suitablyspiked, to render them safe for walking on ice.
These sandals operate as an eicient preservative of the leather of shces, as they will keep it from contact with mud and damp soil. For the same reason, and because the atmosphere has free access to the shoe and foot, they are beneficial tothe health of the wearer.
What 'I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isv The overshoeherein described, constructed with wooden front sole A, wooden heel B, both covered on the tread, with sheet iron or steel plates z z, spiked and connectedl together by theexible strip C, and having the straps D arranged to cross in the: rear of the ankle, substantially as specified.
l In testimony that I claim the above, I-have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witmesses.
WM. W. SWANN.
