To all whom it may concern: I
Be it known that I, KARL ENGEL, a c1t1zen .of the United States, residing at Arlington,
- tongue is disposed in a comparatively'large opening in the front of the upper and an ankle strap passing through a loop in this tongue serves to hold the sandal upon the foot. Theappearance of. the sandal upon the foot and also the comfort of the wearer depend to a large extent upon. the position of the tongue over the foot. With the ordidinary construction of sandal, the tongue is apt to slip to one side or the other of the middle of the opening in the front of the upper, or to one side or the other ofthe po-.'
sition in which it is intended to be maintained, thus detracting from the appearance of the sandal upon the foot and also frequently causing discomfort to the wearer.
An object of this invention is to provide a sandal which can be manufactured with out additional expense, but-which will be so constructed that the tongue will be confined positively in the proper relation to the strap and to the other parts of the shoe upper.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which a sandal embodying the invention is shown in perspective.
The sandal shown in the drawing is of the stitch-down type and comprises a sole 2, an upper 4 having an outturned flange 6 attached to the sole 2, the upper being provided with ventilating openings 8 and a large opening in the fronti'n which is located. the tongue 10. The sandal is held upon the foot by straps 12 and 14" which pass through loops 16 and 18, respectively, in the tongue 10, these loops being formed by mak- Specification of Letters ra t-em. Application filed May as, 1911.

ing substantially parallel slits in the tongue. The part of the tongue 10 through which the strap 12 passes, being comparatively wide, tends to resist lateral displacement and little difiiculty is experienced in keeping this part of the tongue in proper position over the foot. tongue through which the strap 14 passes, being more remote from the point of attach- On the other hand the part of the ment to the upper and belng comparatively I narrow, would be easily displaced were it not for the novel interlocking of the tongue present invention.
and strap provided by the Referring to the drawing, it will be noted that the strap 14 is of a width somewhat greater than the opening in the loop 18 in the tongue 10. In order, therefore, to hold the strap and tongue in substantially a fixed relation to each other, a notch v20 is provided in-the strap, this notch interlocking with the loop 18 to prevent the strap 14 from slipping through the loop.
It will be understood that the invention is not limited to the provision of a singlenotch 20, but that if desired a number of notches may be provided to permit relative adjustment of the strap and loop, and if desired a notch may be also provided to engage the lower end of the le )p.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is 1. In a shoe, a tongue and a strap, one of said parts being provided with an integral loop of fixed. dimensions formed by making substantially parallel slits in said part and the other part being provided with a notch arranged to interlock with said loop, the
width of said last mentioned part upon either side of said notch being greater than the length of said slits.
2. In a shoe, a tongue tongue being provided with an integral loop of fixed dimensions and the strap being provided with a notch arranged to interlock with said loop, the Width either side of said notch the opening in said loop, whereby said strap when brought into proper relation to said and a strap, said of said strap upon being greater than loop automatically springs into interlocking engagement therewith.
3. A sandal or shoe comprising an upper cated in said opening, an ankle strap bridging said opening, said tongue being rovided two subscribing Witnesses.
