ICE GREEPER. APPLICATION FILED H1117, 1912.

UNITE STATES PATENT oFrIcE.
ALBEBT D. BACON, JR, 0]? MOUNT WASHINGTON, PEFHSYLV ANIA.
' ICE-CREEPEB.
Be it known that I, ALBERT D. Bacon, J r.,
a resident of Mount Washington, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Ice-Creepers, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which Figure l is a side view of a shoe with one form of my improved creeper attached, and
. Fig. 2 is a plan View of the creeper detached.
This invention relates to ice creepers, and is designed to provide a device of this character 'which can be cheaply manufactured and which can be readily applied and removed from the shoe of the wearer.
Another object is to providea device which can readily beadjusted to fit Various sizes ofshoes, and which can also be folded into a small space.
The precise nature of myinvention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, which will now be described, it being premised, however, that changes may be made in the detailsof construction without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention, as defined in the appended claims.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, the numeral 2 designates a supporting and securing strap, and 3 a securing buckle on one end thereof. The other end is provided with a plurality of openings for the tongue of the buckle. Thev strap 2 is provided with a plurality of openings 4, located at inter- I mediate points and preferably placed in about the position shown in Fig. 2.
These openings are provided with eyelets 5 to reinforce them and prevent the chains herein after described from wearing the openings.
6 designates'a short chain, one end of which is connected to the strap by passing the end link through the opening 4 in the center of the strap. The end link at the other end of this chain is connected to a ring 7 8, 8 are side chains, one end of each being connected to the ring 7. The-end links of the other ends of said chains are connected to the openin 's 4 on theends of the strap. The size of t c creeper can be varied by Specification of Letters. Patent.
Amillcation filed February 17, 1912. Serial No. 678,388.-
Patented Apr. 8,1913.
from the center of the heel and at an angle to the chain 6, and then upwardly and forwardly from the side edges of the heel to the strap 2. The three chains and the ring on the bottom of the heel will prevent the wearer from slipping on ice or slippery pavements, by the frictional contact between the links of the chains and the surface on which the wearer is'walking.
The advantages of my invention result from the provision of a flexible creeper. which can readily be attached to the shoe of the wearer, and which can be adjusted for shoes of various sizes.
I claim:
1. An ice creeper for boots or shoes larcing a single supporting strap arranged to take. an inclined position exten forwardly and upwardly from the heel over the ankle, a short chain section connectedto the intermediate portion of the strap and leading forwardly under the heel, and two longer sections of chains connected to the strap between the intermediate portion and the ends thereof extending downwardly and rearwardly under -the heel, said longer chains being connected to each other at one end and also connected to one end of the short chain under the heel; substantially as described.
2. A creeper having a single supporting strap, and three chains connected to each other at one end and connectedto the strap at the other ends, said strap having a plurality of openings to permit two of the chains to be adjusted with relation thereto; substantially as described.
3. A creeper having a single supporting strap and three chains connected to each other at one end and connected to the strap at the other ends, said chainsdiverging in three directions, so that each of the chains lies in planes which are approximately 120 degrees from the planes of the adjacent chainsg'suhstantially as described.
,short ehain section connected to the interlonger chains being connected to each other 4. An ice creeper lmving'avsingle strap, a 1 at one end and also connected to one end of l the short chain; substantially as described; 10 mediate portion of the strap extending in 2 5 In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set forward direction, and-two longer sections my hand. of chains connected to the StlfiQ between the i intermediate port-ion and the ends thereof l and extending in a rearward direction, said I v ALBERT D. BACON, JR.
