COMBINED SHOE AND LEGGING.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Got. 29, 1918.
Application filed November 23, 1917. Serial No. 203,475.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALEXANDER E LITTLE, a citizen of the United States, reslding at Lynn, county of Essex, State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Combined Shoes and Leggings, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawing, is a specification, like characters on the drawing representing like parts.
This invention relates to a combined shoe and legging and has for its object to provide an article of this class which has various novel and advantageous features, all as will be more fully hereinafter set forth.
In the drawings wherein I have illustrated a selected embodiment of my invention, Figure 1 is a side view of a combined shoe and legging made in accordance with my invention Fig. 2 is a View showing the opposite side of the shoe portion from that shown in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3, Fig. 1;
Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the legging portion open; 7
Fig. 5 is a section on the hue 55, Fig. 1;
Fig. 6 is a. section on the line 6-6, Fig. 1.
My combined shoe and legging comprises the shoe portion 1 and the legging portion 2 which are made together so as to present a single article. The shoe portion of the article herein illustrated is of the wellknown Blucher type. It includes the usual vamp 3 which may be of any material, but which preferably will be of leather, and the quarters l which may be of fabric or leather as desired. The meeting edges 5 of the quarters are provided with means for detachably securing them together, one convenient means being the usual lacing 18. When lacing is employed, the edges 5 will be eyeleted to form the usual lacing stays.
The legging portion 2 of the article is open at the front and is illustrated as having an inside or lining member 6 and an outside member 7 The lining member 6 and the outside member 7 may be made of any suitable material, such as textile material or leather. The lining member 6 of the legging portion extends from the top of the legging clear to the sole 8 of the shoe and thus constitutes a lining not only for the legging portion, but for the heel and in step of the shoe portion. This lining has a 5 of the quarters.
shape at its lower end corresponding to the shape of the quarters 1.
The outside element 7 of the legging portion extends from the top thereof to about the dotted line 90 in Fig. 1, the lower edge of the outside element 7 being sewed to the quarters 4. Both the lining member 6 and the outside member 7 are open at the front of the legging; and are suitably sewed together along the edges 19 and 20 of the open front.
The heel part of the shoe portion is reinforced by a reinforcing member 9 which will preferably be of leather. This reinforcing portion 9 extends from the heel seat upwardly to the point 10 and the upper edge thereof overlies and is sewed to the lower edgeof the exterior element 7 of the legging portion by a line of stitching 11. This reinforcing member 9 is provided with two tabs 12 and 13, and the outside element 7 of the legging portion is formed with the wings or extensions 14: at the lower end of the edges 19 and 20, which wings overlie the tabs 12 and 13, said tabs passing under the wings or extensions at the point 15. Means are provided for detachably securing together the tabs 12 and 13, and this may conveniently be done by providing one tab with a buckle 16 and forming the other with apertures 17 adapted to receive the tongue of the buckle. hen the two tabs 12 and 13 are buckled or otherwise secured together, the shoe is reinforced across the instep, and said tabs constitute means for holding the shoe on the foot, even though the lacing 18 should become broken. The reinforcing member 9 may be made of relatively-stifl leather so that said member will function as a counter and thus avoiding the necessity of using a regular counter between the lining and the upper, as is commonly done in the manufacture of shoes.
The legging portion 2 is provided on its inside with two strips 21 which are situated adjacent the edges 19 and 20, and these strips are preferably constructed so that they form a continuation of the lacing stays or edges These strips 21 have associated therewith some suitable fastening means by which the legging portion of the article can be fastened around the leg of the wearer. While any suitable fastening means may be used which permits the two strips 21 to be readily fastened together or separated from each other, I have illustrated herein a construction in which the strips 21 are formed with lacing apertures 22 so that they may be laced together. Since the strips 21 form a continuation of the edges 5, it will be possible to use the same lacing for lacing together the edges 5 of the shoe portion and the lacing stays 21 of the legging portlon. The legging portion is so constructed that when it is laced up the two edges 19 and 20 will overlap each other, as shown in Fig. 6.
I propose to use some suitable means for fastening the overlapping edges 19 and 20 in their overlapping relation. One convenient construction is that shown in Fig. 1 wherein a strap 23 is employed, one end of which is secured to the shoe portion at Ql and which is adapted to be wrapped around the legging portion. The upper end of the strap 23 is buckled to a buckle 2&0 carried by the legging portion. I have also provided another short strap 25 at the top of the edge 19 which is adapted to be buckled to a buckle 26 carried by the legging portion.
27 indicates a tongue which is secured at its lower end to the instep portion of the vamp 3 and which may extend substantially to the top of the legging. The tongue assists in making the boot water-tight and also prevents the lacing which secures the lacing stays '21 together from causing dis comfort to the wearer.
The legging portion may be provided with a knife-receiving pocket 29 into which a hunting knife, dagger or similar implement may be placed.
I claim:
1. A combined shoe and legging comprising a shoe portion of the Bluchcr type made with a vamp and quarters constructed so that their meeting edges constitute lacing stays, and a legging portion open at the front and having a fastenin -supporting strip on each side of the opening at a distance from the edge, said fastening-supporting strip extending from the top of the logging to the lacing stays'of the shoe portion and forming continuations of said stays, and the lower front portion of the legging overlying the quarters of the shoe portion, and means for detachably fastening together said strips.
