STATES GEORGE BADICH, 0F KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE.
NONSLIPPING SHOE TON GUE.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented June 13, 1922.
Application filed March 1, 1922. Serial No. 540,194.
T o al?. z/:zom 'it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE BADICH. a citizen of Hungary. residing at Knoxville. in the county of Knox and State of Tennessee. have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Xonslipping Shoe Tongues. of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates generally to shoes. having more particular reference to a means for holding the tongue of the shoe in a central position at the front of the upper.
The invention has for a general object to provide a novel and simplemeans for the above purpose. and further to provide a means whereby the shoe lace is caused to hold the tongue against lateral displacement.
For further comprehension ofthe invention. and of the objects and advantages thereof. reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings. and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
Fig. 1 of the drawings is a perspective view of a shoe having the invention applied thereto.
Fig. :2 is a detail face view of the tongue of the shoe.
Fig. 3is a horizontal section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
' Fig. 4 isa face view of an attachmentwhereby the invention may be applied to a shoe alreadyl made or in use.
` Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing another form of attachment which may be applied to a shoe alreadyin use.
In Fig. 1 of the drawings the reference numeral 10 indicates in general the upper of an ordinarv laced shoe which is split as at 11 for the insertion and removal of the foot. an ordinary crossed lacing 1Q being used to draw the edges together. The tongue is shown at 13.
In shoes as ordinarily worn this tongue has a tendency to slip to one side or the other. causing the shoe to present an unsightly appearance, and also exposing the. stocking to becoming wet. in rainy weather.
According to my present invention I pro vide an attachment whereby the lace is enl to 3 a pairof longitudinalslits 15 is formed in the tongue midway between opposite sides thereof. causing the tongue to present between said slits a loop 16 through which the two reaches of the lacer can be passed as shown. The tongue is here shown as having stitched thereto a backing member 1T. while a small pad 18 of felt or the like is inserted between the tongue and backing member behind tlie looped portion 16. The length of this looped portion 16 is preferably such as to receive the crossed lace elements leading both upward and downward from one pair of eyes and to closely engage at its ends said lace elements at the point where they cross one another. the lacey elements being passed through this loop when the shoe is being laced.- as will be understood. The diagonal arrangement of the lace elements actsto prevent the loop moving therealong and holds the tongue centrally positioned.
In the attachment shown in Fig. et a leat-her piece :20 of a corresponding shape to theA top portion of the tongue is adapted to be sewn on any ordinary tongue. This leather' piece is formed with a pair of slits 21 to provide a loop '22. a small backing piece eing sewn on behind this loop.
In Fig. 5 I have shown a different attachment'in the form of a metal plate Q5. which is provided with apertures 26 to receive threads whereby it may be secured to anv tongue. This plate has at each end a series of clips comprising a central one 2T and a pair of diagonally projecting side ones 28 under which the lace elements engage as shown. This attachment may be colored in correspondence to the tongue. or it may be plated and polished to impart an ornamental appearance.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent of the United States is as follows:
1. An attachment for shoes comprising a plate adapted to be secured to the tongue thereof. said plate having` clips projecting from opposite ends, said clips being adapted ing' clip, and a pair of diagonal side clips said clips being adapted to projectover the face of the tongue and to receive a shoe lace between themselves and the tongue, for the purpose specified.
In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature.
GEORGE BADICH.
