Our inveni m is fuiiy described in the 0? lowing specification, of which the sooompimying drawings form a port, in which the separate parts thereof are designated by suit-able reference characters in each of views, and in wliiehz Figure l is a View of a. human leg and foot equipped with our invention as 2. whole and showing the some Worn Without foo-a rubbers; Fig. 2 is 9. similar View but showing the parts opened for a clearer showing of the construe, tion; Fig. 3 is 8. View of one of the oomponent parts of our invention used individu ally; Fig. 4 is a fragmentary View of the construction, somewhat enlarged, and showing the operation; Fig. 5 is a View simiiair i0 4. but showing our invention used Wifih foot rubbers; Fig. 6 is a sectional View of the construction shown in 5 and.

When none of the component parts of our invention is in use, the knee guard is connected with the puttce in the manner shown through the loop on the gait-er and again connected with the puttee, thus connecting all the parts and preventing loss thereof but, if desired, the strip 6 may be used, when the puttee is in use, for holding the trousers in position. after being wrapped about the leg of the wearer previous to placing the puttee or the gaiter in position.

It will be understood that various changes in and modificationsof the preferred form of construction herein shown and described may be made without departing from the spirit of our invention or sacrificing its advantages and, with this reservation what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
