Description
Dec' 1111923 Mmmm@ F. H. MARDUS WATER SHOE Filed May 18, 1925 Patented Dec. 11, 1923.
UNITED STA TESl FREDEBICK H. MARDUS, 0F BROOKLYN, NEW YORK,
WATER v SHOE.
Application' ined my 1s, 192s. serial no. yesse-1e.
To all whom t may concern Bc it known that I, F nEnnnIoK H. MAR- nUs, a citizen ot' the United States of America, residing at 3521 Avenue K, city of Brooklyn, county of Kings, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Water Shoes, of which the'following is a specification.
My'. invention relates.'to water shoes and it has forlitsobject to provide a device of the character stated to enable persons to walk on a surface of water, like that of a lake or river, in a manner similar to the way in which others walk on snow in winter by the use of snow shoes.
The object of the invention is to .provide a water shoe of a simple, light and inexpensive construction which will readily and effectively serve its intended purpose.
In its general nature the invention consists of galvanized iron or aluminum pieces of sheet metal, of oval shape, crimped or bent at the rim to form a flange on the front and two sides, leaving the rear or heel end without such flange and providing longitudinal and transverse cross strips for reinforcing the structure. y
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of one of my water shoes looking at the same from the top.
Figure 2 isan inverted perspective view of the same.
Figure 3 is a side'elevation showing the manner in which the water shoe lifts in walking on the Water.
In the drawings, in which like numerals ot reference designate like parts in all the figurcs,.1 is the sheet metal plate of approximately oval shape which is made of galvanized iron or aluminum and which has its rim crimped or bent down to form a flange 2 at the front and sides of the plate, the flange being reinforced by transverse and longitudinal strips or plates 3 and 4 which are secured to the plate 1 and flange 2by soldering, riveting, or in any other well known and convenient way.
(in the top of the plate 1 is a'strap 5 which fits over the foot at the base of the toes about at the place Where the ball of the foot` will contact the plate and at a distance approximately one-third of the length of the plate from the front or toe end of the same. 'l
Connected at its end to the strap 5 is a loop 6 which encircles the heel of the wearer as indicated in Figure 3 of the drawing.
As will be seen the provision of the llange 2 and the reinforced strips or plates 3 and l prevents the shoe from slidin sidewise, forward or backward in use and allows a, person to rest on it long enough to make. the next step. Furthermore, inasmuch as the heel end of the shoe is not connected by cross plates or strips 3 and has no rim the shoe may be 'drawn over the water without resistance, and this is also facilitated through the inclined position of the water shoe, when lifted in use, due to the arrangement of the strap 5 and' loop 6 as indicated in Figure 3 of the drawing.
This strap 5 and loop 6 has for its object to permit the wearer to pi on t'he shoes in a-conve-nient manner, which, of course, are furnishedin airs.
From the oregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, it is thought the complete construction and advantages of my invention will be clear to those skilled in the art. f
What I claim is:
1. A water shoe comprising a sheet metal plate having a depending flange at the front and sides.
2. A water shoe comprising a sheet metal plate having a depending Harige at the front and sides, interconnected by metal straps to *give it greater strength and reinforce it.
3. A water shoe comprising a plate having a downwardly projecting shallow llange at. the front and sides with longitudinal and cross straps connecting the flange with the plate to strengthen and reinforce the same.
4. A water shoe comprising a sheet metal platehaving a depending flange at the front and sides, interconnected by metal straps to give it greater strength and reinforce it, anda toe strap on the top of the plate with a heel embracing loop, the ends of which are secured to the stra FREDllBRICK H.
