Improvements relating to the Attachment of Leggings.
I, GEORGE ERNEST COPE, of 77, Dame Street, Dublin, Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the attachment of leggings and is as follows:-The
legging which may be made in the ordinary way and properly shaped to the leg,
or otherwise is provided preferably at one end with a hole through which a strap
may be passed. The end of the strap is enlarged in the shape of a dovetail or
in any other form so that it cannot be completely pulled through the said hole.
After the legging is placed in position upon the leg the strap previously passed
through the said hole is wound in a helical manner around the legging and passed
at intervals through buckles or fasteners fixed at intervals along the legging. By
means of this strap the pressure of the legging on the leg may be regulated at
different places and the legging held in position.
Dated this 23rd day of September 1899.

I, GEORGE ERNEST COPE, of 77, Dame Street, Dublin, Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
This invention relates to the attachment of leggings and is as follows:-The
legging which may be made in the ordinary way and properly shaped to the leg,
or otherwise, is provided at one end preferably at top end with an opening through
which a strap may be passed. The end of the strap is enlarged in the shape
of a cross-head or dovetail or in any other form so that it cannot be completely
pulled through the said hole. After the legging is placed in position upon the
leg the strap previously passed through the said opening is wound in a helical
manner around the legging and passed at intervals through buckles or fasteners
fixed at intervals along the outer edge of the legging, preferably one at top, one at
centre, and one at bottom. By means of this strap the pressure of the legging
on the leg may be regulated at different places and the legging held in position.
Attached to back of legging may be a guide-loop, to keep strap in position.
The annexed drawing illustrates a convenient mode of performing the invention.

Fig. 1 being a side elevation of the legging and attachment, Fig. 2 a part sectional
view of top of same showing tags and cross-head of strap. A is the legging, B, the
strap, C, buckles, D, guide or loop. Only one guide or loop and three buckles are
shown, but other guides or fewer or more buckles can be used. E are convenient
tags, or attachments for buttoning on to buttons on wearers breeches. F is a cross-
head or piece of the strap B abutting against the opening or slit G whereby the
strap B is secured or held at the top of the legging.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:-
The improved mode of attachment for securing leggings provided with a suitable
opening by a strap passed through same and having a cross head or piece for
holding said strap which is then wound in a helical manner round the legging
and passed at intervals through buckles or fasteners fixed at intervals along the
edges of said legging substantially as illustrated and described.
