Abstract

A process for making rubber boots includes placing a felt lining over an expandable internal form and vulcanising the rubber parts of the boot over this lining by the application of heat to external mould parts as well as pressure applied within the internal form. The form may be of rubber and the external mould parts may be electrically heated.

Description

SPECIFICATION Process for the manufacture of rubber boots The invention relates to a process for the manufacture of rubber boots.
It is generally known that the various customary rubber boots are waterproof, but they have a rather cold "feel" in the winter season and do not provided adequate heat insulation for the user's feet. Moreover, if worn for an extended length of tim'e, and/or regularly, the user's feet will perspire, leading to an increased risk of skin diseases and fungoid growth.
Various felt boots are also widely used which, although warm, are not waterproof.
The demand for solving the problem of hygienically protecting the feet under rainy, muddy and cold working conditions has existed for a long time.
The invention aims to provide rubber boots retaining and combining the favourable properties of known rubber boots and felt boots while completely eliminating or reducing their drawbacks.
The aim is sought to be achieved by a rubber boot manufacturing process wherein first a lining is pulled over the internal form (boot tree), then the rubber parts of the boot are vulcanised with heat, which process is improved according to the invention by using felt as the lining, while vulcanisation of the rubber parts is carried out by means of a pressure applied via a-pressing medium conducted into an external form which is rigid and into the internal form which is expandable.
According to a preferred characteristic of the invention, preferably air at pressure of 1 5-20 bar is used as pressing medium.
Thus, in contrast with the known rubber boots manufacturing process, in which the rubber parts (the toe-cap, heel, sole, front of boot and boot leg) are fixed to a lining pulled over a boot-tree with the aid of an adhesive, then the vulcanisation is carried out in a boiler with steam-heated hot air, the rubber parts according to the invention are vulcanised over a felt lining with the combined use of heat and pressure. In this way, satisfactory bonding or adherence of the felt and rubber, as well as a waterproof condition are accomplished.
The internal air pressure presses the nonvulcanised rubber into the loose texture of the felt material, and subsequently or simultaneously the rubber is vulcanised under the effect of heat.
The outer rigid shape may be decomposable, provided with electric heating by conventionally controlled temperature, and the internal form may be made, for instance, from rubber.
By using the process according to the invention felt-lined rubber boots are producible in which the quality is considerably better than in hitherto known boots, i.e. the fixing of the heel and sole is much more reliable. Furthermore, such footwear can be produced at low cost and of a pleasing appearance while assuring hygienic feet protection even under rainy, muddy and cold conditions.
The rubber cover above the ankle may be dispensed with, in which case the felt lining surrounds the leg above the ankle, whereby ventilation of the feet can be further improved.
1. A process for the manufacture of rubber boots in which a felt lining is pulled over an internal form then rubber boot parts are vulcanised in an outer rigid form with the aid of pressure applied via a pressing agent conducted into said internal form, which is expandable.
2. A process according to claim 1 , wherein air at a pressure of 1 5-20 bar is used as the said pressing agent.
3. A process according to claim 1, substantially as herein described.
4. Rubber boots whenever made by the process claimed in any preceding claim.
