E. R. GINGRICH 7 $1101: TONGUE CLIP Filed May 6, 1922 g2 .NVENTOR 5% I 5m WITNESS: ATTORNEY Patented Oct. 30, 1923.
UNITE s'r ELMER R. GINGRICH, OF LANCASTER, PENNSYLVANIA.
SHOE-TONGUE CLIP.
Application filed May 6,
To aZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, ELMER R. GINGRICH,
'State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Shoe-Tongue Clips, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to shoe attachments, and has particular application to a clip designed for association with the tongue of the shoe, the clip being constructed to receive the shoe lace incident to the lacing of the shoe, in a manner to hold the tongue taut and in a proper position to close the front of the shoe, and to prevent wrinkling or falling of the tongue which is frequently a source of annoyance and discomfort to the wearer of the shoe.
The nature and advantages of the invention will be better understood when the following detailed description is read in connection with the accompanying drawing, the invention residing in the construction, combination, and arrangement of parts as claimed.
In the drawing forming part of this appli cation, like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, and wherein Figure 1 is a view showing the attachment associated with the tongue of a shoe and the manner in which it engages the lace to hold the tongue in proper position.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the at iachment or clip.
Referring to the drawing in detail, 10 indictates a shoe of any well known construction, including the tongue 11, and with which the attachment forming the subject matter of the invention is adapted to be associated.
This attachment is constructed from a single piece of metal or other suitable material and comprises a body portion 12 from which projects bendable spurs or the like 13, which are adapted to be passed through the tongue 11 of the shoe and subsequently bent in parallelism therewith to hold the clip in 1922. Serial No. 558,909.
position for use. The body portion of the clip is slit as at 15, and the separated portion defines resilient tongue or finger 16 which is curved throughout its length illustrated. lVhen the clip is attached to the tongue 11 of the shoe, the finger or tongue of the clip is arranged vertically with its free end lowermost.
In practice, the tongue 11 of the shoe is smoothly arranged against the ankle of the wearer, and the shoe subsequently laced in the usual manner. That portion of the lace 17 which crosses the tongue 11 in proximity of the clip, is arranged beneath the finger or tongue 16 of the clip, so that subsequent to tying the lace, the tongue cannot slip down in the shoe as it frequently does. The tongue 11 frequently slips down in the shoe to the discomfort of the wearer, and sometimes to either side of the meeting edges of the shoe which exposes the ankle to inclement weather conditions, all of which is obviated by the provision of the attachment above described, inasmuch as the tongue is held taut in its proper place.
While it is believed that from the foregoing description, the nature and advan tages of the invention will be readily apparent, I desire to have it understood that I do not limit myself to what is herein shown and described, and that such changes may be resorted to when desired as fall within the scope of what is claimed.
IVhat I claim is A shoe tongue clip comprising a body member arranged vertically on said tongue, bendable prongs projecting from the ends of said body member and adapted to penetrate the tongue to hold the clip positioned thereon, a resilient finger stamped from the body member and arranged longitudinally thereof with the lower end of the finger free to allow the lace to be passed beneath the same, 7
and said body member being elongated to fit snugly between the meeting edges of the shoe upper adjacent the top thereof.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
ELMER R. GINGRIGH.
