Application filed January 1a, 1928. Serial no. 247,772.
This invention relates to footwear and more especially to overshoes of the arctic type.
In fastening an overshoe, particularly one of the low styles, there is frequently a decided tendency for the upper b0 wrinkle at one side or the other of the ankle, especially if an adjustable fastener is ,used. The present invention deals with this problem and it aims to improve, the construction of fastening devices for overshoeswith a View to obviating the difficulty just mentioned while still providing a fastening device that can be easily operated and producing an overshoe of pleasing appearance.
The nature of the invention will be readily understood from the following description when read in connection with the accom sany- 'in'g drawings, and the novel features will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawings,
Figure 1 is a perspective view of an overshoe constructed in accordance with this invention; and
Fig. 2 is' a front view of the upper part of the overshoe shown in Fig. 1.
The shoe construction shown comprises a vamp 2, quarters 3, and a cuff 4 which is folded downwardly from the upper edge of the quarters. The shoe may be made by any suitable method and preferably has the usual bellows top.
Secured tothe upper at opposite sides of the bellows top are two straps 5 and 6, re spectively. Each strap carries one member of a fastening device, these members preferably being adjustable on the straps. The
fastener shown is of the snap variety and 7 comprises two members 7 and 8, the member 7 having a stud 9 designed to snap into the spring socket 10 of the member 8, this being a common type of fastener. Each fastener member has slots through which its respective strap can pass and which permit the adjustment of each member on its individual strap. It will be seen from an inspection of Fig. 2 that the straps project from under the opposite edges of the cuff 4 and that they extend diagonally in a downward direction shoe about the wearers ankle.
across the vamp of the shoe, crossing each other at apoint located about midway be-- tween the forwardedges of the cuff and ap-.
proximately in the middle of the ankle; By 7 snapping the two parts 7 and 8 of the fastener I togetherthey secure the straps'in the relationship shown in Fig. 2 and thus fasten the This arrangement equalizes'the strain on the quarters and avoids wrinkling, while at the same time permitting an adjustment which is often very desirable. The fastening device obviously is easily manipulated and the construction involves no unusual departure from the ordinarily manufacturing methods.
lVhile l have herein shown and described a preferred embodiment of my invention, it
willbe understood that the invention may be embodied in other forms without departing from the spirit or scope thereof.
. Having thus described nay-invention, what thereof, said I straps extending diagonally;
across the front of the overshoe and downwardly from the points at which they arese- 'i cured to the overshoe and crossing each other approximately opposite the central'part of .the ankle, and fastening means for releasably securing said straps together where theycross each other.
2. An overshoe of ankle height having a tively on said straps and adjustable thereon,
said fastening members being adapted to sev cure said straps together Where they cross each other. i, v r
3. An overshoe having two Straps secured respectively to opposite sides of theankle 5 portion of the upper and extending diagonally across the front of the overshoe, said stra s crossing each other at approximately t e middle of the ankle, and two cooperating 7 members of a snap fastener mounted, re
spectively, on said straps and adjustable thereon, said members being adapted to fasten saidstraps releasably together at the point of intersection of said straps.
