IN LEGGINGS AND GAITERS." IMPROVEMENTS
Year: 1881

Office of the Cominissioners of Patents on the 15th June 1881.
ISIDOR FRANKENBURG, of Salford, in the County of Lancaster.
IN LEGGINGS AND GAITERS."
IMPROVEMENTS
My Invention consists, firstly, in making leggings reversible, one side being
nade of canvas, leather, or other material suitable for a shooting legging, and the
other side being made of cloth or other material suitable for ordinary wear; and,
secondly, in the use of double headed reversible studs for fastening the leggings.
I pass the said studs through the leggings, so that one head of each stud projects
outside (whichever side of the legging is worn outward) for fastening the legging,
and the other head retains the stud in its place. With these studs I use india
rubber or ordinary button holes. I also use instead of studs reversible buckles,
which pass through slits in the leggings, and can be fastened on either side.
The two sides of the legging may be made of any desired material, each side
being finished, so that either side can be worn outward. My improvements are
also applicable to gaiters.

"IMPROVEMENTS
My Invention consists, firstly, in making leggings reversible, one side being
made of canvas, leather, or other material suitable for a shooting legging, and the
other sido being made of cloth or other material suitable for ordinary wear; and,
secondly, in the use of double-headed reversible studs for fastening the leggings.
I pass the said studs through the leggings, so that one head of each stud projects
outside (whichever side of the legging is worn outward) for fastening the legging,
and the other head retains the stud in its place. With these studs I use india-
rubber or ordinary button holes.
The two sides of the legging may be made of any desired material, each side
being finished, so that either side can be worn outward.
My improvements are also applicable to gaiters.
And in order that my Invention may be fully understood and readily carried
into effect, I will describe the accompanying Sheet of Drawings.
Fig. 1 shows my reversible legging as it appears when buttoned or fastened,
and Fig. 2 is an edge view of the legging unfastened.
One side of this legging is made of canvas, leather, or other material suitable
for a shooting legging, and the other side is made of cloth or other material
suitable for ordinary wear. The double headed reversible studs A pass through
one edge of the legging, so that when it is placed on the leg of the wearer the
heads of the studs that are at the outside project a suitable distance to allow the
other edge of the legging which is provided with india-rubber or with ordinary
button holes to be fastened on to them.
Leggings made according to my Invention will cost little or no more than
ordinary leggings, and will last almost twice as long.
Having stated the nature of my Invention, and described the manner of
performing the same,
I declare that I claim,-
The reversible legging and the stud for fastening the same, substantially as
described and shown.
In witness whereof, I, the said Isidor Frankenburg, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Twelvth day of December, One thousand eight hundred
and eighty one.
ISIDOR FRANKENBURG. (LS.)
