Definitions

  • This invention relates to improvements in waterproof footwear and in particular to waterproof footwear which provide lightweight, flexible, water resistant leg cover extensions to give added protection for the wearer.
  • the present invention provides waterproof footwear comprising a waterproof boot, a water resistant leg cover extension sealably attached to an upper portion of the waterproof boot wherein the water resistant leg cover extension is sufficiently flexible to be collapsed, when not in use, to form a cuff around the exterior of the upper portion of the waterproof boot and when in use is extended to surround the wearer's leg from the top of the boot to a position above the knee; retaining means for retaining the water resistant leg cover about the wearer's leg when in use in the extended position; and holding means for holding the water resistant leg cover extension in the collapsed condition about the upper portion of the waterproof boot when not in use.
  • Waterproof footwear (1) in the form of a wellington boot has a water resistant leg cover extension (2).
  • the leg cover extension (2) is sealably attached to the upper portion of the waterproof boot at 5 using waterproof adhesive (such as a neoprene based adhesive) in such a manner as to ensure that no ingress of water along the line of attachment may occur.
  • the leg cover extension (2) surrounds the wearer's leg when extended, from the top of the waterproof boot to a position above the knee, as shown in Figure 1.
  • the leg cover extension (2) is sufficiently flexible that it does not impede the wearer's movements when in use and may be collapsed down (by rolling or folding) to form a cuff about the top of the exterior of the waterproof boot when not in use.
  • the leg cover extension (2) When in use, the leg cover extension (2) is held in position about the wearer's leg by retaining means (3).
  • the retaining means (3) is in the form of an annular elastic member attached to the top end of the leg cover extension (2) opposite to the end of the leg cover extension attached to the waterproof boot. The elastic grips the wearer's leg gently and so holds the leg cover extension (2) in place.
  • other retaining means may be used to hold the leg cover extension in place when in use such as one or more straps (3A).
  • the straps (3A) are attached at one end to the leg cover extensions and at the other end by a suitable device, to a belt or belt loops or some other means. provided about the waist of the wearer.
  • other similar retaining means for example a drawstring through the top end of the leg cover extension would be appropriate.
  • leg cover extension (2) When the leg cover extension (2) is not in use it is sufficiently flexible, as stated earlier, that it may be collapsed down to form a cuff about the top of the waterproof boot.
  • a stretch cuff (4) To hold the leg cover extension (2) in the form of a cuff there is provided a stretch cuff (4).
  • the stretch cuff (4) forms a second extension member fixed to the top of the boot, is short relative to the leg cover extension, and is located within the leg cover extension.
  • the stretch cuff (4) When the leg cover extension (2) is not in use the stretch cuff (4) is stretched to cover and hold in position the collapsed leg cover extension (2) as shown in Figure 2.
  • the stretch cuff (4) may be made from any suitable partly elastic material for example ribbed knitted wool. In this example the stretch cuff is secured on the inner wall of the boot and the leg extension is bonded to the outside surface of the boot.
  • the boot is made of a relatively rigid and self supporting material such as rubber or a P.V.C. material.
  • the leg cover extension is made separately from thin flexible sheet such as cotton reinforced P.V.C. sheeting, which is not self supporting.
