Patented Jan. 14, 1930 UNITED STATES PHILIP SCROGGINS, OF GALT, ON TARIO, `CANADA BOOT Application filed February 15, 1929. Serial No. 340,199. Y
rlhis invention relates to laced boots used for skating and provided with an ankle support inside the boot adapted to be snugly secured about the ankle of the wearer. Such `ankle supports are generally tightened up by means of a strap and buckle arrangement. While such arrangements are quite satisfactory for ordinary skating, the buckle is very objectionable when playing hockey on 1o account of the danger of the foot being hurt when a blow from a hockey stick falls directly on the buckle. A further disadvantage is that the straps are usually .passed through slots, and as usually only a single 1s strap, or at the most two, are employed7 the strain falls on one or two places only, thus often resulting in the tearing of the support. While the invention is intended particularly for hockey boots, it is also quite applicable 'for invalids boots as well. My object therefore is to devise a boot having ankle supporting means in which buckles are entirely dispensed withand in which the strain will be distributed over the ull height of the support. A further object is to devise an ankle support in which the fastening means are not visible outside the boot.
I attain my object by constructing the boot and the support substantially as hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which Fig. l is a perspective view of a hockey boot constructed in accordance with my invention; and
Fig. 2 is a plan View of the same.
In the drawings like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different figures.
The boot l is in general of ordinary construction and is provided with the Vpadded tongue 2. The opening in the front of the boot is provided with the usual lace holesV 3. The ankle support 4 will usually be formed of canvas, and is shaped as usual to follow substantially the contours of the rearward portion of the boot, extending forward to the forward part of the instep. The support is secured to the boot along its lower edge,
' from blows.
ndkpreferably also down the middle of the The tongue 2 is formed4 of stout leather. One edge of the tongue is secured to one for- Ward edge ofthe ankle suppornwhile adja- 5,3 cent the other edge of the tongue is formed a series oflace holes 5. Adjacent the other forward edge of the ankle support is formed a series of lace holes 6, and the ankle support, of which thetongue forms a part is 6c' tightened up by means of a lace 7 passed through the opposed holes 5 and 6. The portion of the ankle support in which ,the holesl 6 are formed is preferably reinforced withaleather strip 8.
Preferably the tongue 2 is provided with a heavy felt backingY 9 to protect the foot As' it is not desirable that the lace be threaded through the backing, the latter is left free of the tongue at the side. 7o in which the holes 5 are formed, the backing thus extending in behind the reinforcement. After the ankle support has been tightened up by means of the lace 7, the boot itself will be laced up in the usual manner.
What I claim as my invention is:
1. A boot open at the front and provided with lace holes at each side of the opening;
a lace threaded through said holes an ankle support secured along its lower edge within 8U' the upper; a tongue formed on or secured at its lower end tothe upper, secured by one edge to one edge ofthe front of the ankle support, the free edge of the tongue and the other edge of the ankle support being each i provided with a series of lace holes; and a lace threaded through said holes whereby said ankle support may be tightened up independently of and previous to the lacing of the boot. c
2. A boot open at the front and provided with lace holes at each side of theV opening; a lace threaded through said holes; an ankle support secured along its lower edge within 'the upper; a tongue formed on or secured at 95' its lower end to the upper, secured by one edge to one edge of the front of the ankle support, the free edge of the tongue and the other edge of the ankle support being each provided with a series of lace holes; and a lace threaded through said holes whereby said ankle support may be tightened up in` dependently of and previous to the lacing of the boot, said tongue having a backing of heavy felt, said backing being left free adjacent the edge provided with lace holes whereby the lace may be threaded between the tongue and backing.
3. A boot open at the front and provided with lace holes at each side of the opening; a lace threaded through said holes; an ankle support secured along its lower edge within the upper; a tongue formed on or securedk at its lower end to the upper; secured by one idge to one edge of the front of the ankle support, the free edge of the tongue and the other edge of the ankle support being each provided with a series of lace holes; and a lace threaded through said holes whereby aid ankle support' may be tightened up independently of and previous to the lacing of the boot, said tongue having a backing of heavy felt, said backing being left free adjacent the edge provided with lace holes .vhereby the lace may be threaded between the tongue and backing, said backing being of a width to extend behind the lace holes in the support when the support is tightened Signed at Galt, Ont.; this 2nd day of February, 1929.
