SPECIFICATION forming part-of Letters Patent No. 242.77s',uated Jane "14, 1881.!
' Application filed-April 13,18 81. (No model-) l'o'all whom it may concern.- I Beit known that I, GEORGE HAYEs,Iaresident zof the city, county, and State at New York, haye invented certain new and. useful Improvements in Swimming Devices, of which the following is a specification. I
My invention relates to I appliances ginte'nded I ofs'wimmin'g; and 11; consists in peculiarly-formed web pad'dlejs, and one set'for. the feet,- adapted to be readily graspedor'at'tached, and
to, facilitate the operation.
onefset for the hands,
of: such form as "to shed water on the-upper side, and hold. origrasp water -p111thegother, and thereby constitute ;a ,IDGRHIS whereby an pe i 'm 'rl m'ayobtain?increased s ee -,5
and an 'ine pert swimmer be enabled: to'propel himself siresterid.
In ,the "accompanying-' drawings, Figure 1 represents top View of a handgpaddle; .Fig. same." "Fig. .3 repre sents' a top View of; a }.;foot= paddle; Fig. 4 a perspective of the same ,Fig. '5 is a cross-sec Ition of a- .handpaddlei" Fig. 6 is across-section' Qfla foot-paddle *I ig. 7 is alength wise section of 'a footpaddle, ;show'ing a sandaltherein, (with a foot,) represented by. dotted lines A 1' These paddles. fortnf aaveb surrohiiding partia-lly or wholly the" hand or foot, and the hand *orfoot when pla'ced therein forms, when in acliOD,-Et part thereof to the extent offilling up acentral space designed forthem to occupy.
a representsthe web; I), the space occupied by the handoiv foot when in use.
Thehand-paddle .is provided-with grasping bare, to enable thehand toobt'ain secure gripe, and it 'isalso provided with a. 'wristlet, d,'t o give bearing and leverage. Astrap through slots e'serves to-secui'e-the paddle to the hand,
' as desired. To enablethe fingers to pass around a slot is made at f,-the metal the grasping-bar, of which,- after cutting, is bent over forward, to giye-strength tothat portionof the web,
throughfthewater with/some jcer i tainty of reaching the-goal tofwhi'ch'his de--' 1 They formfa web-extension,-=en-; I grasping-surface ofboth'hair'dsandi feet, and maybe-madeof any suitable material] as shown at g, and also to proteetfthe fingers against the raw edge ofthe inetaLl. y
The foot-paddle hasweb wand spaceb forth:

- Straps a secure the paddle-to the foot, about as shown by the dottedlinesin Fig. .7
I hisinvention prom'otes sp'eed in 'swimining,
'either'for pleasure or the saying of life, or as s ananxiliary to life-saving devices in conjunof 'tion'. with floating or lifepreservers.
The foot-paddlemay be made of'rubber, similarto an overshoe, the whole being formed-in' 'afmoid in oiiepiece, or it in ay be attachad-toa the, usual canvas bath'ing shoe, or it may be stamped out of. a single. sheet ofmetal, and
. may be combined with or attached to a sole;
Swimmers using these-paddles are not so "liable to cramp and exhaustion-asthey wouldibe inpad'dles wherein thet'oot or hand is kept" in a rigid ,"strai-1 1ed, orconfi ned position, as in these improved paddles the hand and foot are not rig-idly confined or strained. 1
The hand nay be'released entirely will. out I remolving the paddles, and when in use-the, ands and feetare in a flexible condition and 'withouhrestraint.
,, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,"is- I 1. Ahand-paddle-so shaped and constructed as: to' form a'rigidwein-a, extending out,-
wardly from thehand on a line therewith, pro
vided with space b, .for'ireception of the hand,
