Improvements in Leggings, Anklets, Gaiters, and Uppers for Clogs.
I, JOHN PICKUP, of 32, Burnley Road, Crawshawbooth, Rawtenstall, in the
County of Lancaster, Draper and Shoe Dealer, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention has for its object to cheapen the manufacture of leggings, anklets,
gaiters, and uppers for clogs and render the same more durable and waterproof
than heretofore has been the case.
To this end my improvements consist in forming leggings, anklets, gaiters, and
uppers for clogs of linoleum in lieu of leather with or without a covering of oil
baize, tweed, or other suitable fabric or material and with or without a lining,
binding the edge or edges of the same with leather or other suitable material and
furnishing it with strengthening pieces where required.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have caused to
be appended hereunto one sheet of drawing, showing my improvements carried out
in respect of leggings, märked with letters of reference indicating like parts in the
various views.
Fig. 1 is an elevation of my improved legging opened out and Fig. 2 a perspective
view of the same buckled up.
In carrying out my improvements I form the legging of linoleum with or without
the covering or lining aforesaid preferably in two parts a & a¹ so as to permit of
giving the legging its proper shape. In order to prevent the edges from fraying
I bind the same all round with leather b or with any other suitable material.
The inner side of the legging I furnish at the bottom and over its joint with a
strengthening piece c & d respectively which I preferably stitch or cement
thereto.
To fasten the legging I may use straps and buckles e, f, or any other device as
may be found most convenient.

page_text: In a similar manner as described anklets and gaiters may be formed of linoleum
as will be readily understood without illustration.
When applying my invention for the uppers of clogs, viz. the quarters, I furnish
the same with a covering of very thin leather.
Leggings, anklets, gaiters, and quarters of uppers for clogs formed in accordance
with my invention are rendered much cheaper, stronger, more durable and neater in
appearance as they will keep their shape much better and will not crack or be
influenced by the weather.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim, is-
1st. The manufacture of leggings, anklets, gaiters, and quarters of uppers for
clogs of linoleum with a suitable binding round the edge or edges and strengthening
pieces inside, substantially as set forth.
2nd. The manufacture of leggings, anklets, gaiters, and quarters of uppers for
clogs of linoleum, as specified in the preceding claim, with or without a covering or
a lining of suitable material, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
