OVERSHOE.
Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed May 15, 1911. Serial No. 627,093.
Patented Sept. 3, 1912.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, J oserrr ileum BROWN and DANIEL ARTHUR BERRY, subjects of the King of Great Britain, residing at Northampton, in the county of Northampton, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in or Relating to Overshoes, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
This invention relates to overshoes and has for its principal objects (1) to construct an over-shoe which will properly fit the boot o-r shoe over which it is to be worn and (2) to admit of the overshoe being repaired.
Overshoes made of india rubber possess two main disadvantages (1) they are molded to stock shapes and sizes and consequently when bought from retail shops they fit only those boots or shoes which happen to be of the same shape which are aminimum, and (2) being of molded india rubber they cannot successfully be mended or repaired. This invention, aiming at overcoming these disadvantages, is carried into efi'ectby forming the overshoe on the boot or shoe with which the overshoe is intended to be worn. In this case the boot or shoe is employed as a last or former and the overshoe comprises a leather of equivalent insole, a three quarter vamp, golosh or forepart upper secured thereto, and an outersole secured to said upper and insole. This overshoe is adapted to fit over the front portion of the wearers boot and in order to secure it in position thereon it is provided with a stra adapted to pass around the back of the heel and also with a strap to pass over the instep. The inner face of the rear end of the inner sole is furnished with a compressible rib, bar, projection or equivalent which when the instep strap is tightened, is compressed between the overshoe and the boot sole and thus forms a joint to prevent the entrance of wet and dirt between the boot and the overshoe.
In further describing the invention, reference will be hereinafter made to the accompanying drawing, wherein Figure 1 is a perspective view of an overshoe constructed according to this invention. Fig. 2 shows the overshoe (partly in section) secured in position on a boot. Fig. 3 (drawn to a larger scale) is a sectional View of the compressible rib on the inner sole.
In constructlng the improved overshoe of this invention it is as before stated, made i on a boot or shoe with which it is intended to be worn so that the said boot acts as a last or former for 'the overshoe. The boot, preferably having a last therein, is placed upon a stand or jack and a leather or equivalent insole l is placed downward on the outersole 2 of the boot and a three quarter vamp, golosh or forepart upper 3 is next placed over the boot upper and its edge turned down all around and secured to the insole 1 by cement, adhesive or india rubber solution in the well known manner. An outersole 4 is then secured to the upper 3 and insole 1 by cement or stitching or other convenient means. It is obvious that this overshoe being made upon the boot with which it is to be used must necessarily properly fit the same, and further, when the outersolc 4 becomes the worse for wear, it can be removed and another sewn or otherwise affixed to the insole 1 for the purpose of re pairing theovershoe.
An overshoe constructed as hereinbefore described and as illustrated inFig. 1 is adapted to fit over the front portion of the wearers boot in the manner shown in Big. 2 and in order to maintain said overshoe in position on the boot it is provided with a strap 5 or equivalent located in an approximately horizontal plane and extending beyond the rear edge 6 of the upper 3 at opposite sides. The two members constituting the strap 5 are adapted to fasten together by means of a buckle 7 or equivalent so that the strap may be adjusted in position around the back or heel of the boot and thus serve to hold the overshoe on the forepart of the boot. The ends of the strap 5 may be attached to the upper 3 at the rear edge 6 by stitches or otherwise but the ends of the said strap are preferably secured between the outersole 2 and insole 1, this manner of attachment providing a firm anchorage for the ends of the strap and relieving the upper of any strain which might tear it. The strap 5 may be enlarged,scored or otherwise fashioned at the part where it fits on or over the heel. Acfurther strap 8 is provided and arranged to pass over the instep of the boot, as shown in Fig. 2', to
draw the rear end of the overshoe around the boot. This strap is adjustable by a buckle 9 or equivalent fastening and its a ends are attached at opposite sides of the overshoe preferably by being secured between the outersole 2 and insole 1.. Both the straps 5 and 8 may, at their ends, be stitched to the upper 3 as well as being secured to the outersole and insole.
On the inner face of the rear end of the inner sole 1 and preferably extendingpartly up the inside of the upper 3, is located a compressible rib, bar, projection or equi'v-. alent 10 Fig. l, which projection, when the overshoe is in position on the boot, is situated under or around the waist of the boot. When the instep strap 8 is tightened, this rib 10 is compressed between the overshoe. and the boot and forms a Watertight joint to prevent wet and dirt entering and getting between the overshoe and the wearers boot. The said projecting rib 10 is preferably of the form shown in section in Fig. 3, said rib having longitudinal flanges 1.1 by which it may be secured to the insole l.
What we claim then is An overshoe comprising an insole, athreequarter upper having its lower edges se cured to the lower side of the insole, an outer sole attached to the insole and to the inturnededges of-the upper, a two piece strap adapted to embrace the, instep, and a twopiece strap extendingrearwardly from the upper and each strap havin one end of each piece secured between tie insole and Outer sole.
Intestimony whereof we afiix our signa tures in presence of two witnesses.
