Description

patented Jan. so, 1940 UNITED STATES OVERSHOE Lillian Hamalainen, Virginia, Minn. l Application January'4, 1938, Serial No. 183,349
1 Claim.
This invention relates to rubber overshoes, and its general object is to provide an overshoe of the storm type that can be readily applied and removed with respect tol shoes, vwith minimum effort on the part of the user, yet snugly fits the shoe when in position thereon, so as to prevent slippage or casual removal.
A further object is to provide a rubber overshoe, that has its upper split or notched at the rear end thereof, to increase the size of the rear end, and thereby facilitate the application thereof to the shoe, but when applied to the shoe,- the notched portion is drawn together to set up a snug engagement with the shoe.
Another object is to provide an overshoe that includes a ledge extending about the rear end of the upper, to act as an abutment for use in,
removing the overshoe.
A further object is to provide an overshoe of the character set forth, that is simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture, and extremely efficient in operation, use and service.4
This invention also consists in` certainl other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.
In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompany drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several in which:
Figure l is a view of the rear portion of a rubber overshoe, constructed in accordance with my invention, with the closure flap in applied or'fastened position. f
Figure 2 is a sectional view taken approximately on line 2 2 of Figure 1, looking in the direction of the arrows..
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the rear portion of the overshoe, with the closure flap 'in open position.
Referring to the drawing in detail, it will be noted that I have illustrated an overshoe constructed in accordance with the present invention, that is, of the type generally worn by women, but it will be understood that my invention is applicable to any type of overshoe.
The rear portion of the upper ofthe overshoe,
as shown, is indicated by the reference numeral n l, and is thickened to provide a lug 2 arranged centrally on the outside of the rear portion and extending downwardly from its upper edge, as best shown in Figure 3.
The thickened portion or lug 2 is provided with y a V-shaped notch 3 that extends through the rear portion and opens through the upper end thereof, while the lower orA apex end of lthe views, and
notch 3 terminates adjacent tothe lower end of l the lug. g
Formed on or otherwise securedto the upper and laterally of the lug, is one end o f a closure flap 4, which is of a length to extend about thev -lug 2, and has its free end reduced, with socket fastener members fmounted thereon for cooperation with companion stud members 6 fixed to the upper in the path thereof,l for securing the Vflapkin position for use, as clearly shown in kFigure 1. When so secured, the walls of the notch are drawn together, so that the rear por-` tion I is disposed in snug association or fitting engagement with the shoe, when the overshoe is applied thereto. However, when the flap'is arranged in the position ofFig-ure 3, `it willl be obvious that the notch is completely open, so
that the overshoe can be readily applied -to the shoe.
In order to facilitate the removal of the overshoe, I provide an elongated projection 1 that is formed on and extends about therear portion l below the lug 2. The projection lterminates in pointed ends that merge into the upper, andthe l upper surface of the projection provides a ledge or abutment means to receive the fingers: of the user, in removing the overshoe, as will be apparent. l ,j Y
The lug 2 andA projection 1 are preferably integrally connected to each other, so that the projection l acts to reinforce the lug and prevents tearing of the material below the notch 3, in the event of rough usage, in applying and removing the overshoe.
It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages vand novel features of the invention will be readily apparent. f
It is to beunderstood that changes maybe made in the construction and in the combination andarrangement of the several that such'ohanges fall within the scope of the, appended claim. f
What I claim is: n
A rubber overshoe `comprising an` upper thickened to provide a substantially rectangular lug formed exteriorly thereon centrally of the heel parts, provided portion and extending vertically frornthe upper l edge thereof, said lug and upper having a noro .mally open V-shaped notch therein extending
