MOCCASIN.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 14:, 1917.
Application filed April 4, 1917. Serial No. 159,687.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE A. GORDON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Medford, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Moccasins; and I do hereby declare the follow- ,ing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The present invention relates to an improvement in moccasins, and more particularly to moccasins adapted for use with snowshoes.
The object of the invention is to produce a moccasin having novel and improved means which will enable it to be expeditiously and securely attached to a snowshoe, and as expeditiously removed therefrom.
The preferred form in which it is contemplated embodying the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which is a perspective view showing the method of attaching to a snowshoe a moccasin embodying the feature of the invention.
In the general features of its construction the moccasin embodying the present invention may be of any usual or preferred form, the moccasin illustrated in the drawing representing a well-known type. On the upper surface of the forward end of the vamp a of the moccasin, generally indicated at 5, there is secured transversely of the vamp by means of stitching and rivets 6 a strap holder 7, the middle section thereof being raised or separated from the vamp to form a hole 8 for slidingly receiving between the under surface of the strapholder and the upper surface of the vamp a thong or strap 9, by means of which the moccasin may be attached to the snowshoe. The moccasin is shown in the drawing as located on that part of the snowshoe it occupies while in use thereon. In order to attach the moccasin securely to the snowshoe,the strap 9 is passed through the anchor rings 11 and 12, which are located on opposite sides and at the rear of the toe hole 10, and are permanently fastened to the usual cross thong 13.
The method of attaching the moccasin to the snowshoe by means of the above-described parts will be readily understood. The end 1 1 of the strap 9 will first be passed through one of the rings, for illustration, through the ring 12; it will next be pushed through the hole 8, and then be passed through the other ring, after which it will be buckled in the buckle 15. The moccasin may be readily and easily removed from the snowshoe by merely unloosening the strap 9 and drawing it through the hole 8.
As an alternative way of attaching the moccasin to the snowshoe, without the rise of the anchor rings, the strap 9 may first be passed through the hole 8 under the strapholder 7 with the two ends of the strap proj ecting from the opposite ends of the hole 8 about equal distances. The ends of the strap will then be passed through the toe hole 10, and be brought around under the cross thong 13 and up through the usual post holes 16 located to the rear of the cross thong. The ends of the strap will then be buckled together over the vamp as in the first described method of attaching the moccasin to the snowshoe. The steps passed through in detaching the moccasin from the snowshoe will be obvious. This alternative method of attaching the moccasin to the snowshoe and detaching it therefrom may be practised with as much expedition as the former method; and serves equally effectively in holding the moccasin securely on the snowshoe.
The advantages of the present invention in adapting a moccasin for use on snowshoes are many. The moccasin may be very quickly and easily attached to or detached from the snowshoe. The method of attachment is such that there is no liability of the moccasins being accidentally detached from the snowshoe when in use, while at the same time affording the foot considerable freedom of movement. The permanent attachment of the strapholder to the moccasin does not detract from the neat appearance of the moccasin, nor does it materially add to the weight thereof, so that when the moccasin is not attached to the snowshoe it may be worn with the same freedom and comfort as a moccasin unprovided with the strapholder.
