UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE V I 2,344,415 STOCKINGPROTECTOR Neva Ryan, Chicago, Ill. Application July 7, 1942, Serial No. 450,042
1 Claim.
The invention relates to a stocking protector, and the primary object of the invention is to provide an arrangement of this character which when worn covers the wearers foot and leg to prevent mud or rain from being splashed upon any part of the wearer's stocking, the said protector being of light weight waterproof material of transparent or translucent character capable of variation in color to suit difierent costumes.
Other important objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from a reading of the following description taken in connection with the appended drawing, wherein for purposes of illustration a preferred embodiment of the invention is shown.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a general fragmentary side elevational view showing the invention in place on a wearer.
Figure 2 is a fragmentary side perspective view showing the protector in open position.
Figure 3 is an enlarged fragmentary horizontal sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 2 and looking downwardly in the direction of the arrows.
Figure 4 is a fragmentary enlarged horizontal sectional view taken through Figure 2 along the line G4 and looking downwardly in the direction of the arrows.
Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral 5 generally designates the protector which may be made of Pliofilm, oil silk, or other suitable moisture-proof fabric or material of light thin type, which will avoid placing a heavy burden upon the wearer or otherwise incumber the wearer in warm weather. The protector is made from three sheets or pieces of the said material, the inboard sheet 6 being larger than the other two sheets and being shaped and contoured at its upper and lower edges and at its forward and rearward edges to follow the contour of the leg and ankle and instep of the wearer. The outboard side of the protector is composed of the two pieces 'I and 8, respectively, which together form a single sheet similar in outline to the inner sheet 6. The said sheets are secured by inwardly overlapping sewed joints at their front and rear edges as indicated by the numerals 9 and I0, so that a smooth juncture results and a minimum of protrusion obtains.
The adjacent edges of the sheets I and 8 are inwardly overlapped as indicated in Figures 3 and 4 of the drawing, wherein it will be noted that the various sheets described are of two plies of the mentioned suitable materials unconnected except at the points of sewing.
The forward edge of the sheet 8, shown in section in Figure 3 of the drawing, terminates in the inturned portion ll along the inner side of which is secured in superposed relation the edge portions I2 of a tubular tape I3 which runs along the upper part of the forward edge of the sheet 8 as shown in Figure 2 of the drawing, in which tubular portion vertically spaced female snap members M are mounted with openings I 5 in one ply of the tubular portion to pass the male members of th snap fasteners which are generally designated I6 in Figure 4 of the drawing.
The rearward edge of the sheet 1 is inturned and sewed as indicated by the numeral l1 and to the inner side thereof is mounted a hollow tape l8 in which are disposed the male fastening elements I6 which project through openings in the outer ply of the tape [8 to engage the female elements of the fasteners on the tape I3. A double row of sewing l9 connects the marginal portions of the tape l3 and the fold at the forward edge of the sheet 8 as shown in Figure 3 of the draw- ;ing. Two widely spaced rows 20 of said sewing fasten the tubular tape I8 to the inner side of the fold I! on the rearward edge of the sheet 1.
The described tapes extend substantially the full length of the edges of the adjoining sheets 1 and 8, fastening elements being provided at suitably spaced intervals therealong. The lower end of the tape IS on the sheet 1 is utilized to strengthen the anchorage of one end of an elas-' tic strap 2| whose opposite end is suitably connected to a corresponding location on the lower edge of the sheet 6. Both the upper edge 22 and the lower edge 23 of the several sheets are inturned and double sewed for strength and smoothness.
Due to the light weight and clinging characteristics of the device of the invention, and the conformability thereof to the leg of the wearer, no stiffening or other supporting elements are required, despite the fact that the device extends upwardly as shown in Figure 1 of the drawing, to a considerable distance above the ankle while overhanging the arch and instep.
Although there is shown and described herein a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is to be definitely understood that it is not desired to limit the application of the invention thereto except as may be required by the scope of the sub- Joined claim.
ly extending tape secured to the inner side of the sewed fold and extending forwardly of the for- 15 Ward edge of the rear subsection, the rearward edge of the front sub-section being inwardly folded, a pair of tubular tapes secured to the fold of the rear sub-section and to the fold of the front sub-section, respectively, to extend along said folds and overlap on the leg of the wearer, said tapes being provided within the same with interlocking male and female snap fasteners, respectively, spaced along the tapes, and said tapes being apertured on one side thereof opposite the fasteners therein to provide for introducing the fasteners in each tape into the other tape to interlock said fasteners.
