HENRY FRANCIS MARENDAZ, OF WATERBURY, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF T0 CHARLES HENRY REGAN, OF WATERB URY, CONNECTICUT.
HOSE-PROTECTOR.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented March 2, 1909.
Application filed August 24, 1908. Serial No. 450,028.
T o all whom it Amay concern:
Be it known that l, HENRY FRANoIs MARnNDAz, a citizen of the United States, residing at Waterbury, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented new and useful Improvements in Hose-Protectors, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to hose protectors.
During the operation of blacking or polishing shoes, particularly those of the low-cut variety, much annoyance is caused by the blacking or polish being accidentally applied above the edge of the upper on the hose or stocking of the wearer.
The present invention has for its object the provision of a protector designed to be applied inside the shoe to prevent the blacking or polish from getting on the wearers hose, and seeks to obviate the defects of earlier protectors and to provide advantages thereover by the provision of a protector made 1n a single piece of novel shape or construction, which will protect the hose both at the back and front, which are the points where the blacking or polish is most likely to get on the hose, as well as the sides thereof, which will be adapted to carry out its purpose, regardless of the length of the tongue on the shoe, my protector having means especially designed to protect hose where the shoe tongue is short and doesnot afford adequate protection at the front, but in addition to this, the present invention, by the provision of a one-piece protector, prevents any catching of the polishing cloth, and .the invention further aims` to provide a protector which can be rapidly and easily adjusted to any shoe and ankle and secured in position.
A further object is to provide a protector of the class set forth which will be of such simple construction that it may be so cheaply sold as to be within the reach of all boot-blacks.
The most erfect embodiment of the invention which have at this time devised is set forth fully hereinafter and the novel features of the invention are recited in the appended claim.
In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective showing the invention in use Fig. 2, a detail face view of the protector as it appears when spread out 4and Fig. 3, a section on line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
The protector 1 is made from a singlepiece of any suitable flexible material, celluloid being preferred, which has lobes 2 at its lower part to fit into the sides of the shoe around the ankle, said lobes being defined by edges which, starting at the point 3 diverge as curves and rise again adjacent the ends of the protector, whereat the rounded tongues 4 are provided. The upper end parts of the protector are curved at 5 to cause the device to comfortably dispose itself at the front of the ankle, beside giving it a neat appearance when used. Strings 6 are connected to the end arts of the protector at 7, an efficient, simp e and cheap connection being that shown, the holes 8 receiving the ends of the strings which are laced therethrough, the extremities 9 being bound in position by the pressure of the inner part of the string thereon.
When the protector is applied, the lobes2 are slipped down inside the shoe at the sides of the ankle and the oint 3 then constitutes a notch or crotch which receives the ankle at the back, and the tongues 4 are disposed back of the tongue of the shoe. The strings may then be tied in the ordinary fashion and those on the shoe engaged therewith as shown in Fig. l and the protector is thus held in osition around the ankle and inserted Wit in the shoe in such fashion that any blaeking or polish which would otherwise tend to get on the hose is received on the outer face of the rotector.
T e lobes 2 securely retain the protector in position and the tongues coperate with the shoe tongue to prevent the protector from rising or flaring outwardly at that point, beside being of particular advantage on shoes which have a very short tongue. Being 1n one piece, there are no projecting parts to catch the polishing cloth or brush, while the employment of the strings enables the user to secure the protector firmly in position, regardless of the size of the shoe or the users ankle.
Having thus described my inventlon, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The herein described hose protector comosed of a single piece of exibie material name to this specification in the presence of avingfloltlies afiptem to entr (the siklloe at the two subscribing Witnesses. si eso t e an e an rovi e Wit tongues l on its free ends adapted to be positioned i HENRY'FRANCIS MARENDAZ 5 against the tongue o the shoe, and means Witnesses: for connecting the free ends of the protector. FOREST E. CHAPIN,
In testimony whereof I have slgned my GEO. E. IBION.
