Application filed March 11, 1919. Serial No. 281,958.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that l, Fnnnniucn Gnonon CHAMHERLIN, a subject of the King of Eng land, residing' at l-lorsham St. Faith, Norfolk, England, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Leggings, of which the followinis a specification.
This invention is for improvements in or relating to leggings or long boots, such for instance as those employed for military purposes, v
According to one feature of this invention there is combined with a legging whose fastening edges are lengthwise of it, a wide band (preferably soft) attached to the lower end of the legging by one end of the band so as to encircle the lower end of said legging in a coil at the level of the lower end of the legging and not going spirally up the leg, the band being provided with means (for example a strap and buckle) for fastening the free end of the said coil in the position into which it is brought by the lapping of the band around the bottom of the legging, so that the lower end of the legging which usually covers the upper part of the boot may be reinforced as by a bandige.` thus giving added support to the leg at the ankle, keeping it dry and warm there, and at the same time making a neater end to the legging, by preventing it opening at the lower end of the joint as might otherwise occur in use. and obviating the use of buttons there and thread which would become rotted in contact with mud and wet. The edges of the legging above the band are fastened bv the usual means, for instance by buttons and top of the legging.
it is convenient and comfortable to be able at times to free the ankle from the band, without the necessity for taking off the legging, for instance if the boot is to be taken ofi", or even without taking off the boot if the wearer desires to rest without the compression of the band being felt. To enable this easement and convenience to be obtained without the need for removing the legging` the bottom margin of said legging is divided by a vertical slit extending from the bottom edge of the legging upward to about the level of the top of the band. W'hen the legging is thus formed, it becomes quite easy, if the band be slacked, for the wearer to turn outward the bottom margin of the legging while the fastenings of the legging by a buckle at the' remain fastened. Thus the ankle may be relieved and thetop of the boot be made accessible without the need for taking the legging off, It is to be understood that there need be no fastening between the two sides of the legging below the level of the top edge of the band in so far as' the band itself may be regarded as a fastening when secured.l
In the accompanying drawings, which are all in perspective,
Figure 1 is a front elevation illustrating the improved legging'in the act of being placedl on the leg;
` Figf 2. 's a similar view showing the legging` fastened in place and buckled close;
Fig. 3 is a view'from the front showing the legging taken off the leg; and
Fig. l is a rear view of the leg with the legging on it, the band slackened and the sides of the legging at the bottom pulled outward to ease the ankle.
Like letters of reference indicate like parts in all of the figures.
With reference to the drawings, the legging L which may be constructed of web or leather shaped to the leg, and can be reinforced at its edges by piping in known manner, has attached to it transversely at the lower end a band B. This band is secured by one of its ends, as shown in Figs. 1, 3 and to the legging, and is of a length to completely encircle it there with more than a complete turn when lapped around the bottom of the legging and fastened, as in Fig. 2. by means of the strap. To fasten the band there is provided at the free end B1, which is there preferably narrowed in width, see Figs. l and 4, a strap S and buckle K. The legging may be fastened together by buttons b, spring fasteners or other means and is preferably made to open at the front of the leg as shown in Fig. 1. The bottom margin of the legging is divided at the back by a vertical slit VS, Fig. 3, extending from the bottom edge of the legging upward to about the level of the top of the band B. Fig. 4 shows how when the legging is thus formed, and the band slackened, the bottom margin of the legging can be turned outward. This time the buttons b of the legging can remain fastened. With the band slack as in Fig. 4 and with the legging eased open at the bottom, the top V of the boot X is made accessible without the need for taking the legging ofi', It will be seen in Fig. 4 that with the band slacked, that side of the legging-margin to which the band is attached as at a may be eased out as well as the margin of the legging in the immediate neighborhood of the vertical slit VS.
It will be understood that the various details of construction may be modified within the scope of the appended claims to provide a structure having the advantages herein set forth.
What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Paten-t is l. The combination of a legging whose fastening edges are lengthwise of it and whose bottom margin is divided at a point away from the fastening edges by a vertical slit extending from the bottom edge of the legging upward for a portion only of the height of the legging, and a band which is attached to the lower end of the legging by one end of the band and Vencircles the lower end of said legging in a coil at the level of the lower end of the legging and which at `the other end of the band has means for fastening the free end of the band in the position into which it is brought by the coiling ofthe band around the bottom of the legeine 2. As an article of manufacture, a legging having fastening edges extending lengthwise thereof, and having the bottom margin divided at a point away from said fastening edges by a vertical slit, of means attached to the lower portion of the legging and adapted to overlap said slit for securing the legging in position; substantially as described.
3. As an article of manufacture, a legging having fastening edges extending lengthwise thereof, and having the bottom margin divided at a point away from said fastening edges by a vertical slit, of a band attached at one end to the lower portion of the legging and adapted to encircle the slitted portion of the same to secure the legging in position; substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
