| Abstract: |
A protective leg and shoe covering is provided which has a two piece upper portion designed to snuggly wrap around a user's lower leg and a flare portion to cover the top of the user's shoe. A hook and pile closure provides adjustability in the snugness of the fit and a metal stay with an exposed end capturable in a heel pocket provides an additional degree of protection. The flare portion is held in place by an adjustable chain. The device is light weight and is easy and quick to put on and take off.

I claim as my invention:
1. A leg covering comprising:
- first and second upper parts,
- and a flare part,
- said flare part comprising a sheet-form member made of heat-resistant material and shaped in development to have a first generally circular edge and a second edge of shallower curvature,
- said first and second upper parts each comprising a sheet-form member of heat-resistant material and being of irregular rectangular configuration and having curved edge portions complementary to said second edge of said flare,
- fastening means for pemanently connecting said curved edge portions to said first and second upper parts to said second edge of said flare part, and connecting adjacent inner overlapping vertical edges of said upper parts to one another,
- one of said upper parts carrying a metal stay extending generally vertically adjacent an outer edge of said one part and projecting below a relieved lower edge portion of said one part for capture and retention of said projecting portion of said stay in a pocket formed in a lower portion of the other of said upper parts and aligned to register with said projecting portion of said stay when the two upper parts are wrapped around the leg of a user,
- hook and pile fastening means extending along vertical opposite edges of said upper parts and being of sufficient width to afford circumferential adjustability relative to the leg of a user,
- fastening means connected to said leg covering extending beneath the shoe of the user and having selectively engageable detent means to lock the flare portion over the instep and toes of the user,
- and a tab with a manually engageable portion near the top of one of said upper parts to facilitate detachment of said hook and pile fastening means for easy removal of the leg protector.
