' parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illus- 15 trated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims. V v

vIn describing my invention in detail, ref erence will be had to the. accompanying drawings wherein'like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which V V Figure 1 is a view of an arctic, with parts broken away, showing the invention in use,

' Figure 2 is a view of the device itself.

Figure 3 is a top plan view of the device Figure 4 is a sectional view through the upper part of Figure 1. I

Figure?) is a similar view but taken at right angles from that of Figure 4,

As is well known, arctics' or galoshes which extend above the shoes will soil the stockings of the user, and it is the object of my invention to prevent this by providing an attachment which is placed in the top part of the arctic in such a manner that it will prevent the arctic from contacting with the stocking. This device comprises a body 1 of substantially cylindrical form, with its 40 ends overlapping, as shown at 2.: Theupper edge of the body is rolled, as at 3, so that it non ARCTI'CS.

will pass over the upperedge of the arctic and grip the same and thus frictionally hold the device to the arctic. The device is-pref- "erably'formed of celluloid or similar mate- 4'5 rial so that it is of a springy nature. The

rolled part terminates short of the ends, but I these ends have their upper edges extended upwardly shghtly, as shown at 4. By overlapping the ends, the device can be made to ht various sizes of arctlcs as it is simply necessary to cut off the ends if the device is too large so that the overlapping part will not be excessive.'- a V This device will not only act to protect the 5 stockings but it willpalso act to prevent dirt, snow and the like from entering the arctic between the top thereof and the leg of'the wearer.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the-advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fallfwithin the scope of the appended claims; 7 v

\Vhat I claim is 1. An attachment for an arctic formedof semi-rigid and springy material and com- I prising a ,cylindricalbody adapted to fit,

within the upper end of the arctic and a rolled top for receiving the upperedge of the arctic and frictionally engagingthe same. I v V '2. An attachment for an arctic formed .of'

celluloid and comprising a'cylindricalbody I havingoverlapping ends, with portions of its upper edge rolled toreceive and frictionally engage the upper edge of an arctic. so.

In testimony, whereof I aflix mysignature. JAMES H. WEBBER.
