1 Claim. (Cl. 36-2) and may be quickly put on and taken olf. That the invention provides all of the foregoing advantages, will be readily appreciated from the drawings and the subsequent disclosure.
The invention embodies the novel principle of not putting tension on the pants leg covering itself, whereby a very lightweight material may be used, but puts the tension on a holding unit which keeps the covering extended and onto the shoe.
The drawings illustrate the invention, and in these:
Figure 1 is a perspective view showing one form of the invention as worn;
Figure 2 is a side elevation of one of the pair of units worn over the trouser legs, and as flattened out;
Figure 3 is a front elevation;
Figure 4 is a fragmentary side view of the lower end of one of the leg coverings, with spat attached;
Figures 5, 6 and 7 are, respectively, sections taken on lines 5, 6 6, and 7 7 of Figure 2;
Figure 8 is a side elevation, showing a modification of a leg covering, as flattened;
Figure 9 is a front elevation of the form of Figure 8;
Figure l0 is a side elevation of the covering shown in Figure 8, partly broken away and without attachments;
Figure l1 is a perspective of the upper part of one of the covering units; and
Figure 12 is a fragmentary view showing how a strap is secured to a leg covering.
Referring to the drawings for a more detailed description thereof, and at first to Figures 1-7, the numeral 15 indicates a pants leg covering of tapered tubular form, preferably biased at the back of the upper portion and made of thin waterproof material, as for example a synthetic resinous plastic. The cover may be made by stitching together the upper and rear marginalportions of a single piece of material, the meeting margins being inturned as shown in Figure 5. The bottom margin is turned in and stitched, as shown in Figure 7. The edges may also be fused together by a heat treatment of a thermo plastic material.
The leg covering may be made of any desired length, preferably to extend from the instep or shoe to above the knee, so as to be above the lower edge of a raincoat, and the diameter is large enough so that it may be readily put on and taken olf. Each covering suspends from an elastic band 17, which is secured to the upper edge of the covering and at the front center crease thereof. The
To hold the covering down around the shoe for prov posing the lower part of the leg to rain and snow, both tection, a loop 20, preferably elastic, to be placed under the shoe, is secured to opposite sides of the covering at the lower edge thereof. The elastic band 17 is preferably so adjusted that the loop 20 and the band are under tension, to keep the covering in extended form, preventing its wrinkling, and so giving it a good appearance, especially aiding in maintaining the front crease, as shown in Figure 1. In using light weight material for the leg covering, the lower part of the same is raised by storms, unless provision is made to counteract this, ex-
that falling freely and that running down the covering; the loop 20, however, prevents this, holding the covering onto the shoe.
The structure is such that there is no tension on the covering. The tension is on a pair of non-elastic, oblique or biassed strips 21, which may be of fabric or other suitable material, and which are secured to the covering in any suitable manner. These strips extend from the point of attachment of the elastic band 17 or upper end of the front crease line, and diverge downwardly to the points of attachment of the elastic loop 20. The strips support the covering, and therefore are not reinforcing strips on the covering, as there is no tension on the latter.
Referring now to Figures 8-12, which show a modified form of the invention, the numeral 25 indicates a covering similar to that previously described. Oblique strips 26, elastic band 27, hook 28, and bottom or shoe loop 29, correspond to similar parts described, but are secured together to form one holding unit or piece which is detachably secured to the top and bottom of the covering by snap fasteners 31 and 32 respectively. One advantage of this construction is that the covering may be made of a very inexpensive material, such as waterproofed paper, which may be discarded after limited use, the holding unit being retained.
What is claimed is:
A pants leg protector comprising an elongated supporting means composed of elastic and inelastic parts and comprising a single upper portion and fastening means, a loop at the lower end of the supporting means, said loop adapted to be placed under the shank of a wearers shoe, said supporting means being in elastic tension when fastened at its upper end and with said loop under the wearers shoe, a tubular member of thin synthetic plastic material adapted to cover a pants leg strips secured to the lower middle portion of the tubularV member and extending from the upper end of the tubular member adjacent the crease downwardly and divergently on either side of the crease to the lower end of the tubular member at the sides thereof and there coinciding with the ends of said loop, the latter extending below the lower end of the tubular member, said single upper portion extending above the upper end of the tubular member from the upper ends of said inelastic divergent strips, said fastening means secured to the end of the single upper portion and being hook-like in shape to engage a part of a garment of the wearer to hold the protector in position.
