SNOWSH OE Filed July 6 1936 'IIIIII W/IIII/ :IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIA QDGUUEJEIID UELJL U GB GD UDEJUDUUU UUUEHIEJEJ Inventor Patented Oct. 26, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFECE 2 Claims.
This invention relates to snow shoes and the object of the invention is to provide a snow shoe characterized by simplicity and durability of construction.
Briefly the invention consists in the provision of a snow shoe wherein the frame or bow portion thereof, as well as the cross-barsor struts are formed of reinforced rubber.
The invention together with its objects and ad- 10 vantages will be best understood from a study or" the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing whereinz Figure 1 is a top plan view of the snow shoe.
Figure 2 is a sectional view through the bow or 15 frame portion of the shoe and Figure 3 is a fragmentary detail sectional view showing the joint between the bow and one of the cross struts.
Figure 4 is a fragmentary detail view, on an 20 enlarged scale, showing the manner in which a reinforcing wire of a strut is connected with a reinforcing wire or rod of the bow at the joint between the bow and one end of a strut, as hereinafter more fully referred to.
2 Referring to the drawing by reference numerals it will be seen that the snow shoe indicated generally by the reference numeral 5 comprises the frame or bow section B which adjacent the toe and heel of the shoe has opposite side por- 30 tions thereof connected by cross struts 1.
The center portion of the shoe, the toe portion thereof, and the heel portion are provided with suitable webbing 8, 9, and I which webbing may be of fabric or other suitable material and 35 properly positioned on the webbing 8 are the toe straps l I which are preferably formed of rubber.
Where a heel strap is desired it will be found preferable to have the heel strap of leather.
The salient feature of the present invention is in having the bow or frame 6, as well as the struts 1, formed of vulcanized rubber tubular in cross section as shown in Figure 2 and reinforced by rods I? of wire, or if desirable of bamboo fiber.
Where the struts I join with the bow 6 the rods 12 of the struts l have ends hooked about the rods i2 of the bow 5 as shown in Figures 3 and 4. In this manner an efiicient joint between the bow 6 and the respective struts l is provided.
A shoe having the features and construetion herein illustrated and described will be found to be strong and durable while light in weight and will be eificient for the purpose de- 15 signed.
Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new is:
1. A snow-shoe including a bow formed of rubber and tubular in cross-section, and reinforcing rods embedded in the rubber, and cross struts connecting opposite portions of the bow, said cross struts being formed of rubber and being tubular in cross-section and having wire rein-, forcing rods embedded in the rubber, and the reinforcing rods of said struts having ends hooked over the reinforcing rods of the bow where the struts and bow are joined together.
2. A snow shoe including a bow and cross struts connecting opposite portions of the bow, said bow and each of said cross struts, respectively, being formed of rubber and tubular in cross section, and also having wire reinforcing rods embedded in the rubber, the reinforcing rods of said struts being positively connected at the ends thereof with the reinforcing rods of said bow at the joints between said struts and bow.
