Abstract
Abstract The foot part of a child''s sleeping garment is rendered more comfortable and less subject to wearing out by virtue of a construction embodying an upper foot element joined to, and preferably a part of, the garment leg and encompassing the top portion of the foot, a sole element joined to the lower margin of the upper element and including marginal portions along the sides and around the heel that extend somewhat above the floor when in place on the wearer, and a toe element overlying the toes of the wearer. The sole is formed from a blank or pattern in which square cut-outs are made at each corner of the heel end, and the two edges of each cut-out are then joined together thereby to form a shaped heel. The pattern of the sole piece is further characterized by substantially straight, longitudinally extending edges that taper toward each other moving from the heel toward the toe. Consequently, the height of the side parts of the sole piece that extend up from the floor gradually diminishes moving in the direction of the toe. The toe and sole pieces are formed of durable materials having external surfaces adapted to resist wear and to provide non-slip characteristics.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
405 words
In a child''s sleeping garment having leg portions, a foot part comprising an upper foot element joined to the lower end of each leg of the garment and encompassing the ankle and top portion of the foot when in place on the wearer, a sole element joined to the lower margin of the ankle and upper foot element, the sole element including a base portion normally in contact with the floor when the wearer is standing, side marginal portions extending longitudinally along either side of the base and extending upwardly above the floor when the wearer is standing, and a heel portion between the heel ends of the side marginal portions and similarly extending upwardly from the floor when in place on the wearer, the height of the heel portion being higher than the side marginal portions at all points along said side marginal portions except at the juncture between said heel ends of said side marginal portions and said heel portion, and the side marginal portions being of substantially uniformly decreasing height at points closer to the toe portion of the foot, and an upper toe element joined to the lower end of the upper element and to the margins of the sole element and overlying the toes when in place on the wearer, the sole and upper toe elements being formed of a base material that is resistant to wear and having a non-slip material thereon thereby to endure wear and provide safety, and the sole element being shaped upon being formed and joined to the said upper foot element from a fabric piece that has when in flat condition a rounded edge at the toe, substantially straight side margins extending from the ends of the rounded margin and diverging from each other, the divergence and increase being at successive points moving toward the heel, a heel part extending longitudinally away from the toe and of substantially lesser width in the flattened condition than the width of the side margins and being defined by substantially square cut-outs at the heel portion, the heel part having side edges defined by one side of each cut-out and the side margin portions having back edges defined by the other sides of the cut-outs and the said side edges and back edges being joined thereby to form the heel and shape the sole piece into a form providing the upwardly extending heel portion and side marginal portions.

Dependent Claim

In a child''s sleeping garment having leg portions, a foot part comprising an upper foot element joined to the lower end of each leg of the garment and encompassing the ankle and top portion of the foot when in place on the wearer, a sole element joined to the lower margin of the ankle and upper foot element, the sole element including a base portion normally in contact with the floor when the wearer is standing, side marginal portions extending longitudinally along either side of the base and extending upwardly above the floor when the wearer is standing, and a heel portion between the heel ends of the side marginal portions and similarly extending upwardly from the floor when in place on the wearer, the height of the heel portion being higher than the side marginal portions at all points along said side marginal portions except at the juncture between said heel ends of said side marginal portions and said heel portion, and the side marginal portions being of substantially uniformly decreasing height at points closer to the toe portion of the foot, and an upper toe element joined to the lower end of the upper element and to the margins of the sole element and overlying the toes when in place on the wearer, the sole and upper toe elements being formed of a base material that is resistant to wear and having a non-slip material thereon thereby to endure wear and provide safety, and the sole element being shaped upon being formed and joined to the said upper foot element from a fabric piece that has when in flat condition a rounded edge at the toe, substantially straight side margins extending from the ends of the rounded margin and diverging from each other, the divergence and increase being at successive points moving toward the heel, a heel part extending longitudinally away from the toe and of substantially lesser width in the flattened condition than the width of the side margins and being defined by substantially square cut-outs at the heel portion, the heel part having side edges defined by one side of each cut-out and the side margin portions having back edges defined by the other sides of the cut-outs and the said side edges and back edges being joined thereby to form the heel and shape the sole piece into a form providing the upwardly extending heel portion and side marginal portions.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
55 words
A foot part for a child''s sleeping garment according to claim 1 wherein the upper toe element comprises a substantially straight back edge extending generally transversely across the top of the foot and a rounded front edge extending between the extremities of the back edge and joined to the rounded edge of the sole element.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
A foot part for a child''s sleeping garment according to claim 3 wherein the rounded edges of the toe and sole elements are of substantially the same size and shape.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
49 words
A foot for a child''s sleeping garment according to claim 3 wherein the transverse dimensions of the upper element and sole element are substantially equal when the part is in flattened condition along a substantial portion of the front part of the foot between the toe and instep portions.
