R. LESSELBAUM.
LEGGING.
APPLICATION IILED APR. 20, 1910.
1,019,810, Patented Mar. 12,1912.
Inventor:
COLUMBIA PLANOGRAPH c0.. WASHINGTON. D. C.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
RUBIN LESSELBAUM, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
LEGGING.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Runm LESSELBAUM, a citizen of the United States, residing in the borough of Manhattan of the city of New York, in the State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Leggings, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part hereof.
This invention relates to leggings which are formed each of a suitable fabric adapted to fit upon the leg of the wearer, with overlapping edges, and having each a strap secured at one end to one of the overlapping portions, at or near its edge, wound spirally about the leg, outside of the legging, and detachably and adjustably secured to the other overlapping portion near its edge at the other end of the legging.
The objects of the invention are to cause the legging to have a better fit upon the leg of the wearer, to enable leggings of the same size to be used and to fit well upon legs of different sizes, and to provide 1mproved means for cletachably fastening the upper or free end of the strap.
The invention will be more fully explained hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawing in which it is illustrated and in which- Figure 1 is a view of the improved legging in front elevation. Fig. 2 is a view of the same in side elevation, partly broken out to show a detail of construction. Fig. 3 is a detail view in section on the plane indicated by the line 3-3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a detail view in section on the plane indicated by the line 44 of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a detail view in perspective of the fastening loop.
The body of the legging is formed of any suitable material and consists of a plurality of longitudinal members a, a, a a a and a which are stitched together with longitudinal lap scams 5, the raw edges being suitably bound or finished.
It is preferable to form the legging of six pieces because it is possible thereby to make a legging which will conform better to the leg of the wearer than with any less number. To the inner, overlapping portion a of the legging are secured two or more fastening devices which are preferably of the form clearly shown in Fig. 5, comprising a metal loop 0 having formed therewith a Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed April 20, 1910.
Patented Mar. 12, 1912.
Serial No. 556,538.
base piece (1. The loop c is preferably not at right angles with the base (I but'is inclined with respect thereto so that it shall incline away from the edge of that part of the legging to which it is secured. These fastening devices may be conveniently secured to the legging by a strap 0, shown in Fig. 3, which is passed through each loop and overlies the base (1, being firmly stitched or otherwise secured to the legging. The fastening devices are therefore held so that when the legging is in place upon the leg of the wearer and the base of each fastening device is therefore supported, the other edge member of the legging may be engaged therewith and held securely in place. The opposite edge member a of the logging is formed with two or more elongated eyelets f adapted to fit rather closely upon the projecting loops 0. The two eyelets are placed relatively close together, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, so that either one or the other may be engaged with either one of the projecting loops 0, preferably with that one which is nearest the edge. The two loops 0 are placed farther apart than the two eyelets f so that by the provision of two loops and two eyelets a great range of adjustability is secured, it being intended that through the engagement of one or the other of the loops 0 with one or the other of the eyelets f the upper end of the legging shall be secured snugly about the leg of the wearer.
A strap g, of any suitable material, is secured at its lower end, as at g, to the outer overlapping member a of the legging, be-
ing preferably secured permanently thereto, as by stitching. It is then wound spirally about the legging passing through guides or loops g secured to the outer surface of the legging and its end, when the legging is in place on the leg of the wearer, and one of the eyelets f has been engaged with one of the loops 0, is then passed through the projecting portion of the loop 0, thereby preventing the accidental disengagement of the eyelet from the loop. Ordinarily friction holds the strap sufficiently tight about the legging, but if further fastening of the strap be thought desirable its end may be tucked through the other loop 0 and, if necessary, doubled upon itself.
As hereinbefore stated, the members a, a, &c., are stitched together with lap seams 1). Such lap seams are made quite broad so that in each may be inserted a stiffener h, preferably of light sheet steel. This arrangement of the stifl'eners not only secures a minimum of expense in -manufacture, but it places the stifli'eners most advantageously with respect to their function and to the comfort of the wearer of the legging. Stiffeners k may be applied to the overlapping members a and a at or near the edges thereof, and held in place by strips h sewed on in the usual manner. The legging thus constructed fits neatly 'upon the leg of the wearer, is readily adjustable to legs of different sizes and is readily applied or removed.
I claim as my invention:
A legging adapted to be wrapped about the leg of the wearer and comprising a plurality of longitudinal members secured to gether with wide lap seams, stifi'eners inserted in said lap seams, a plurality of relatively immovable, rigid fastening loops secured to the underlapping member and inclined away from its edge, the overlapping member having a plurality of eyelets to engage said fastening loops and spaced unequally therewith, a* strap secured at one end to the overlapping member and adapted to be wound spirally about the legging and to have its end passed through the projecting fastening loop, and guides for said strap secured to the outer surface of the legging.
This specification signed and witnessed this 19th day of April, A. D., 1910.
