Description
March 29, 1932. J. H. HERZSTEIN BOOT TOP Filed June 28', 1929 INVENTOR. Joac fl H. He nz: TE/N mi ATTORNEYS.
Patented Mar. 29, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE JOSEPH H. HERZSTEIN, OE NAPA, CALIFORNIA BOOT TOP Application filed June 28, 1929. Serial no. 374576.
The marginal edges 5 and 6 have the customary eyelets '7 and the hooks 8 arranged. therealongl The two'edgesmay be drawn to ward each other by a lace (not shown) -in the usual manner. 1
The parts thus far described "form no part of the presenti'nventio-n, except insofar as they cooperate with the parts now to be described.
Referring to Figures 1 and. 2, it willbe noted that the upper edge of the boot has a band Qstitched thereto at" 10. This band is My invention relates to improvements in boot tops, and it consists of the combinations, constructions and arrangements hereinafterv described and claimed. V n
An object of my invention is to provide a boot top wherein novel means are employed for preventing the upper part of the boot from slipping down and thus causing the boot to wrinkle at the ankle.
More specifically, I propose to dispose a fabric cuff at the top of a boot which is adapted to contact withthe leg portion of the wearers trousers, and will thus frictionally prevent the top of the boot from slipping downwardly. f v
A further object of my invention is to arrangela cord within this fabric cuff so as to overcome any tendency of the top of the boot to stretch or to be twisted out of its characteristic shape.
A still further object of my invention is to arrange the cord within the cuff so that the latter may be rolled down on the outside of the boot, and the cord will continue to function.
Moreover, I propose to provide a device of the type described which is simple in corn struction, durable and efficient for the purpose intended.
Other objects and advantages will appear as the specification proceeds, and the novel features of my invention will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims. 1
My invention is illustrated in the accomas panyjng drawings forming a part of this application, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a boot showing my invention attached thereto;
Figure 2 is an enlarged sectional view taken on line 22 of Figure 1, and in the dian make use of a standard boot generally referr'ed to as 1, the boot having a foot porpreferably madeof leather, and of a softer quality than that of the boot proper. The edges of this band are provided with eyelets 11 for receiving the ends of the lacing member. v
i In order that thetop of the boot may be prevented from moving downwardly with respect to the leg of the wearer, I havelined the nner surface of the band 9 with a felt or fabric lining 12. It should be appreciated that as the eyelets 11are drawn toward each other, the lining 12 will be forced into intimate contact with the leg portion of the wearers trousers, and the boot willbe held against slipping. a
,It is a well knownfact that the top of an ordinary boot will become greatly stretched after considerable usage, and very often one side will stretch more than the other., This results in twisting the boot-out of shape, and the characteristic form of the boot is thus distorted. I have accordingly placed a nonstretchable cord 13 between the band 9 an'd,
the lining Figure 3 shows an enlarged detail of the method which I employ for securing the cord in place A strip 14 is placed over the cord 13, and the former is then stitched to the line H ing 10 as at 15. The cord 13 and the strip: 14 extend the entire width of the lining l2. tongue .16,
The boot 1 is provided with a the upper end of whichhas extensions 17 and 18 formed integral therewith. These exten sions are secured tothemarginal edges 5 and rious parts of the device, the operation thereof may bereadily'understood; Theboot is, laced to the foot of therwearer in the usual and the ends of thelacing members manner, are then passed through the eyelets 11 so as to draw the lining 12 into contact with the leg portion of the wearers trousers," 'As has been previously stated, the lining 12 prevents the boot 1 from being wrinkled atthe ankle, and the cord 13 prevents the top of the boot from being stretched or distorted,
' l/Vhen the band 9 extends up a as Shown in Figure 1, the turned-down portion 20 and the cord 13 prevent dirt, snow or the like from entering into the leg of the boot.
25, If the wearer sode'sires,
lining may be rolled down as disclosed inFigure 4. rolled into this position,
to form a cuff 21, When the cuff is the ends ofthe cuif will be substantially parallel to the edges 5 and 6, respectively. I
The felt is disposed on the outside 7 of theupper partof the boot whe'nnt he cuff is rolled and this provides a distinctive manner of finishing the boot and presents a more 35, attractive appearance than is now'the case;
It should be fully appreciated that the cuff 21 may be artially rolled down and the cord 13 willstil proper, 4oition. This is also true when the 'cufl 21 is "rolled clear down as is shown in Figure 4, the cord 13 in this instance will press the boot 1 against the wearers leg.
WVhile. I have shown only the preferred form of my invention, I wish it to be under- "stood that various changes or modifications top of ends of said pieces together; the band 9 and its I and W111, therefore, continue to func- 7 a more pliable piece of leather secured to the top of the boot, and a soft fabric secured to the inside of the pliable piece, said pliable piece being rollable from a position engaging the wearers leg into one overlying the boot top.
3. A boot extending to a point just below the knee and being made of a heavy "leather, a more pliable piece of leather secured to the the boot, a soft fabric secured to the inside of the pliable. piece, said pliablepiece being rollable from a position engaging the wearers leg into one overlying the boot top, and a cord associated with the pliable piece and 'soft'fabrieforengaging with the leg aboye the calf for preventing thesagging of'the boot. i l v;

be above the top edge of the boot I may bemade within the scope of the append' 7 ed claims without departing from the spirit of the invention. 50, I claim: t
' of a fabric member disposed on the'inner surface thereof near the upper end of the boot and"adapted for being drawn'into contact 'with the leg of 1 like forpreventing the boot'from slipping downwardly, and a cordsecured to said meniberhaving its ends anchored'to the boot, "said the wearers breeches or the 60 cord preventing circumferential stretchingof' 'the leg portion of the boot, said fabric mem ber, when' drawn into engagement with breeches, having substantially its entire surface embracingtheleg of the breeches.
