ALBERT R. PRITOHARD, OF ROCHESTER, NE\V YORK.-
ATTACHMENT FOR INDIA-RUBBER OVERSHOES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 567,254, dated September 8, 1896.
Application filed May 2, 1896. Serial No. 590,056. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ALBERT R. PRITCHARD, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Attachments for India- Rubber Overshoes, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of one of my devices, showing the position of the same in an overshoe, said overshoe being shown in dotted lines; and Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the same.
The object of my invention is is to produce a detachable attachment for india-rubber overshoes whereby the overshoe is retained more firmly upon the foot, even after the same has stretched by use, and also whereby the shoe may be easily put on and taken off, and also provide a means for holding the trousers out of the mud or wet.
My invention consists in the device hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings, A is the india-rubber overshoe shown in-dotted lines.
B is one of my attachments, consisting of a strip of elastic sheet metal, such as steel, spring-brass, or the like. This strip is long enough to extend on the inside of the sole of the overshoe from near the toe backward throughout the length of said sole, thence upward along the inner side of the upright heel portion thereof over the top of said heel portion and down on the outside of said heel portion for a suitable distance. At the points a a, where the strip B is bent to conform to the inner surface of that portion of the overshoe in which the heel of the shoe proper rests, the temper of the strip may be drawn, of whatever metal the same may be made, and the drawing of the temper may extend for a suitable distance on either side of said points in order that the strip may be bent to conform to overshoes of different styles, If desired,
the strip may be covered either throughout its length or through any portion thereof by cloth, india-rubber, or other suitable covering substance which will suffice to prevent the cutting of the overshoe by constant pressure of the strip thereon. This coating or covering is so obvious that it is not considered necessary to show the same in special views. The strip B extends throughout the shank of the overshoe and to a point under the ball of the foot, but need not extend farther toward the toe of the overshoe. At the point a that portion of the strip which extends downward on the outside of the heel portion of the overshoe is bent inward, so as to createa pressure toward the portion a which extends upward on the inner side of said heel portion of the overshoe, and thus my device is clamped upon the overshoe and is held with sufflcient firmness thereon. The end of the strip B on the outside of the overshoe is turned or curled over, as at a to form a projection whereby the overshoe may be removed from the shoe proper by pressing against the same by the foot or any convenient fixed projection. This projection, in the form shown, extends far enough outward from the back of the overshoe and by the angular shape of the portion a with reference to the upwardly-extending portion a forms an angular hook-like device in which the back edge of the trousers may rest and thereby keep the trousers from falling so low as to come in contact with mud or wet.
This device is,when manufactured substantially as above described, applicable to overshoes of different shapes, styles, and sizes, and is effective to stiffen the upright heel portion thereof, so as to permit the overshoe to be put on and taken off and in connection with the inward pulling of the heel portion when the overshoe is bent in the act of walking to hold the whole device firmly upon the shoe proper. Of course the edges of the strip B are rounded and the whole device may be enameled or otherwise coated, as above described, in order to protect the overshoe from being cut when the strip is pressed into the same by the pressure of the shoe proper.
What I claim is- 1. A self-attaching device for india-rubber overshoes, consisting of a narrow strip of elastic material resting upon and conforming to the inner surface of the sole of said overshoe and extending longitudinally thereof 2 sea /325a from the ball backward to and over the upright heel portion and down on the outer side thereof.
2. A self-attaching device for india-rubber overshoes, consisting of a narrow strip of elastic material resting upon and conforming to the inner surface of the sole of said overshoe and extending longitudinally thereof from the ball backward to and over the upright heel portion and down on the outer side thereof and bent to clamp said overshoe at said heel portion.
3. A self-attaching device for india-rubber over-shoes, consisting of a narrow strip of elastic material resting upon and conforming to the inner surface of the sole of said overshoe and extending longitudinally thereof from the ball backward to and over the upright heel portion and down on the outer side thereof and having an outwardly-turned hooked end to form a means forremovin g said overshoe from the shoe proper and to support the lower rear edge of the trousers.
4. In an india-rubber-overshoe attachment, consisting of a narrow strip of elastic material conforming to the inner surface of the sole of said overshoe and extending longitudinally thereof from the ball backward to and over the upright heel portion of the overshoe down on the outer side thereof and bent to clamp said overshoe at said heel portion, and having an outwardly-turned hooked end to form a means for removing said overshoe from the shoe proper and to support the lower rear edge of the trousers.
