iNVENTOR WITNEISYSES 6 ATTO RN EY MILDRED C. OBANNON, 0F CULPEPER, VIRGINIA.
COMBINATION LEGGING AND RETAINING-HOOK THEREFOR.
Application filed September 6, 1917.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MILDRED C. OBAN- NON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Culpeper, in the county of Culpeper and State of Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination Leggings and Retaining-Hooks Therefor', of which the following is a specification. This invention relates to legging hooks, and to a device of this character for use upon leggings or gaiters to hold the front portionof the same in a neat and snug fit over the instep, and to retain-the material of the legging or gaiter against'wrinklin'g. object ofmy invention is toprovide a "hook which can be embedded in the legging or gaiter as the same is manufactured, or which may be sold as aseparatepartito befapplied by the wearer,"andfwhich hook is of such construction that when mounted in combination with the legging or gaiter, the" forward part of the, same will be held in a smooth fit over thear'ch of; the "foot against shoving up to expose'the laces of the sh A further object resides in so constructing the hook that it can be readily embodied with the structure of a: legging'or gaiter and when secured in 'place therebn will not thesame to piill'and wrinklei" I With the above and other objects in'view,""
which will be in part described and in part understood from the specification, drawings, and claims, my invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combination of parts which will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
In the drawings Figure 1 is a view showing a legging having the structure of my invention embodied therewith as the same would appear when fitted for use;
Fig. 2 is a detailed view showing a fragmentary portion of a legging or gaiter with the hook mounted in place thereon;
Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 33 of Fig. 2; and,
Fig. 4 is a detailed sectional view through the hook to better show the manner of hooking the same and of providing for securement thereof to a legging or gaiter.
In the present illustration I have shown.
the hook applied to a relatively short legging and have disclosed the hook as being caught around one of the lengths of the lacspeoification of Letters Patent.
unduly draw or strain thestructure or cause Patented Nov. 19, 1918.
Serial No. 190,026.
the bill being preferably narrowed down as shown "at 3. In making up cloth leggings and gaiters, it is customary to form afsealn substantially down" the middle of the forward 'exten'sion' portion thereof, and to tape this s 'eam,' substantially as is' shown in Figs. 2 and 4,"andas the hook is particularly adaptable forl use in holding this forward extension against pushing and rolling up, it is preferable that provisionbe' made for the secureinent of the hook 'so that it ,Wlll be attached entirely upon *the seam and will not have securementto the main body of the material of theleg'ging or gaiter. With this purpose in view, 'Iprovide" the openings 'or eyes 4' at". the free end of the base'por'tion 2," whi'ch openings or eyes are preferably placed in the middleportion' of the base portion sothatasjstitching ispassed therethroiigh and throughthe structure of the i er. all-OHM t t hes .can e angh into the taped'seam' ofth'e gaiteror legging.
"In the base portion 1 the openings or eyelets 5 are provided adjacent the other ex tremity, and stitching can be passed therethrough and into the taped seam, substantially after the manner shown in Fig. 4.
In some uses, it might be found desirable to attach the hook to, or adjacent to, the lower edge of a puttee, to hold the same against shifting above the top of a shoe, and it will of course be understood that this could be done by passing stitching or other suitable fastening through the openings or eyelets 4 and 5. In use, it will of course be understood that the hook will be located at such a point that it will catch beneath the lacings of the shoe, substantially as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings, or in the case of a button shoe, it will catch on the edge of the closing flap, and in any of the uses as suggested, it will be appreciated that the foot will not only hold the parts of the leggings, gaiter, or puttee, against shifting above the shoe, but that in the case of a legging or gaiter, the forward part will be held to fit smoothly over the arch of the foot. By bringing the base and bill portions together at the fold, substantially as shown in Fig. 3, the parts will exert a grip ping action upon the part around which they are placed to hold, and the tendency will .be not only to hold .the legging or gaiter' againstshifting'up, but also to retain the same against slipping Where the hook is caught around a length of the lacing, it is perhaps preferable that at the sides the folded portion be rounded substantially as shown at 6, in Fig. 4,, and where this shaping is resorted to a smooth rounded surface will be presented at the edge where'the hook would otherwisebear upon the lacing, and in consequence the lacing is protected against excessive wear.
While .I have herein shown and described the hook as constructed in one specific manner, and have set forth only certain ways in which the same would be fitted for use, it will of course be understood that changes and variations might be made in the construction of the hook and in the manner of using the same, and hence I wish to be lin1ited only to such points as may be set forth in the claims.v T
I claim:
1. In combination with a legging comprising a flared lower end adapted to fit snugly over the-upper of a shoe, a hook secured to the forward end of said legging near the lower edge thereof and adapted to firmly engage the lace of a shoe and prevent the front end of said legging from curling upwardlyand also firmly hold the same in close engagement with the vamp of the shoe.
2. In combination with a. legging: prodown.
vided with a flared lower end adapted to fit snugly over the upper of a shoe, a flat hook secured to tlie'under face of said legging and arranged for engagement with the lower edge of a closure flap of a shoe.
3. In combination with a legging adapted to fit snugly around the upper of a shoe and having its lower edge shaped to conform to the contour of a shoe, said legging provided with a reinforcing strip formed centrally thereof upon the under face, a flat metal hook secured'to said reinforcing strip and provided withabill extending substan tially parallel-with said reinforcing strip and being contracted, said bill adapted to engage the lace of a shoe and firmly hold the forward end of said legging in a position to overhang the upper edge of the vamp of the shoe. 7
4. In combination with a legging, a hook made of a single piece of sheet metal shaped to produce a base portion for facilitating the attachment thereof to the under face of said legging, said base portion being contracted to produce a shoe engagingportion, said contracted portion terminating in a projecting bill extending substantially parallel with said base portion, and saidbill adapted to. firmly engage a portion of a shoe for firmly holding the forward end of said legging in close engagement with the upper edge of the vamp of the shoe.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses. 1 y MILDRED C. OBANN-ON.
