To all whom it may concern: I
Be it known that we, ERWIN B; LOEWEN- BACH and CHARLES M. HUNTER, bothciti- Zens ofthe United States, and residents of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain 7 new and useful Improvements in Shoes;
and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof.
Our invention refers particularly to the manufacture of shoes of the Bal pattern and has for its object to provide simple, economical and effective patterns for shoes of the type mentioned, whereby the cost of manufacture is materially reduced, while at the same time the life and comfort of the shoe is materially increased. By the peculiar formation ofthe blanks great reduction in the waste of the material from which said blanks are cut is had.
Specific objects of our invention are to provide a vamp and quarter pattern that is cut away at the front of the vamp to the top of the quarter to form a lace-stay opening space, whereby material is saved. It is also contemplated to cut away the toe of the vamp in some instances, whereby a further saving in the stock is had; to provide a combination vamp, tip and lace-stay strip, which, when sewed to the vamp .and quarter completes the same forming a lace-stay of single thickness in contradistinction to a lace-stay of double thickness as in the case of the'oi'dinary Bal attern; to provide in some instances a quarter andivamp blank embodying the features of our invention wherein said quarter and vamp are separate members, whereby economy in the out is effected, it being well known that the smaller the parts forming the blank the more economically they may be taken from the hide or stock from which blanks are cut. Hence the saving in the waste is proportionately greater.
lVith the above and other minor objects in view the invention consists in certain peculiarities of construction and combination of parts as hereinafter set forth with reference to the accompanying drawings and subsequently claimed.
In the drawings Figure 1 represents a combined vamp and quarter blank cut in accordance with our invention, the dotted lines indicating the change or form over that of the ordinary Bal type of pattern; Fig. 2,

av'iewtff a c'ombiaatitn tip and lace-stay embodying the features of our 'invention; F g. back stay pattern; Figs. 4 and 5 represent a modified form of our improved pattern, 'whereby the vampand quarter are cut in separate pieces, being. within the scope of our invention to cut the vampportion in some instanceswith or without a tip; 6, a view; of a1 gusset or tongueblank employed in forming a shoe embodying the features of our invention; Fig. 7, a diagrammatic plan vievi showing the manner of securing the combination tipand lace-stay to a pair of the vamp andquarter patterns which, as sh'own, ar'e seamed together at the frontportions of the vamp members, and Fig. 8 represents an 1 elevation of acompleted shoe upperma'de in accordance with our. nvention, one'of the lace-stays being folded over to more clearly illustrate structural features," f s V a Referring by characters "to the. drawings, 1 represents a quarter portion" and.,2 the vamp portion ofajpatternhaving thetip of the vamp cut off upon thefline 3, The back portionof the vamp iscut downwardly as shownat andv from this point the quarter is cutaway as shown; at 5 to parallel the lace-stay, whereby an open space. is formed to the top of the quarter; Two of such blanks are utilized informing a shoe upper andtl'iey' are connected atthe'heel seat by a tapered he'el stay-blank 1", as shownv in Fig. 3, which Vstay-blank forms no part, of our invention; F ig-. 2 'llustrate's' a' tiphghaving extended therefrom lace-stay members 7,"7,"as shown, thesaid tip and staymembers being preferably formed iii a single piece. Fig. t represents a blank similar to that shown and described in connection with Fig. 1 of the drawings with the exception that the quarter 1 is cut in a separate piece from In this instance the back of the vamp is cut away at 4: and the quarter being stitched to the straight edge 8 of the vamp, its front edge 5 will thus form an Fig. 6 illustrates a tongue blank 9 having tabs 9 that extend rearwardly from the body of the tongue.
Fig. 7 shows a pair of the combination vamp and quarter patterns stitched together, as indicated at a. When these members stitched. toge er they form a lacestay opening 6 as shown, which opening re sults from the parallel edges 5 of the quarter, a portion of said edges being shown in full lines and the forward portion in dotted lines. After the vamp and quarter patterns have been stitched together, as shown at a, thetip 6 is fitted over the forward edges- 3 of the vamp and stitched thereto to form the toe of the vamp, which toe, in this instance, will consist of a single piece of leather. The stay- pieces 7, 7, of the blank are then lapped over the edges 5 and stitched as shown, whereby the divided staypieces close the opening 7) and form a single thickness eyelet or staystrip. The said lace-stay thus stitched completes the quarter without a double thickness of leather, as stated. The gusset blank is then inserted within the inside of the vamp and quarter about the lace opening and stitched in such manner that the tabs 9 will register with the inner faces of the staystrips and overlap the faces of the cut away portions upon the lines 5 to thus conceal the seam between the single lace-stay piece and said quarter, giving the upper an interior finish and adding a thin thickness or lining to the thin stay-piece or eyelet row.
It is obvious that we may, without departing from the spirit of our invention, either use a double thickness of toe in which case the front of the vamp would not be cut away, or we may sever the front, as shown in Fig. 1, and complete the vamp with a single thickness of leather by stitching thereto thetip 6.
Fig. 8 representsv the finished shoe upper wherein the quarter and vamp portions were cut in separate blanks and stitched together upon the line 8', as shown, but it is understood that the upper may be as efiectually constructed from a blank such as shown in Fig. 1, wherein the vamp and quarter are in one piece.
By the peculiar arrangement of cut, as shown by the blanks as previously described, in practice it has been found that approximately a saving of 20% is efiected in the cut of the leather due to the fact of the peculiar cut of said blank with reference to the stay-piece opening and cutting off of the front of the vamp to form a toe of single thickness.
We claim:
1. A shoe upper formed from a pair of blanks stitched together at their front and rear ends each blank comprising a vamp portion and a quarter portion cut away to form a lace-stay opening that extends to the top of the quarter, and a blank comprising a tip having lace-stay strips extending therefrom, the tip portion being sewed to the vamp to form a toe and the lace-stay portions lapping the edges of the cut away portions to which they are sewed to form a single thickness of lace-stay.
2. A shoe upper comprising a vamp and quarter cut away approximately the width of the lace-stay, and a lace-stay secured to the cut away edges of the vamp and quarter to form a single thickness of lace-stay.
3. A shoe upper comprising a vamp and quarter cut away approximately the width of the lace-stay, and a lace-stay secured to the cut away edges of the vamp and quarter to form a single thickness of lace-stay, and a tongue secured to the vamp and quarter having tabs overlapping the inner faces of the lace-stay and quarter to conceal the seam between said lace-stay and quarter.
4. A shoe upper comprising a vamp and quarter, the vamp and quarter being cut away to form a lace-stay opening the width of a standard lace-stay.
In testimony that we claim the foregoing we have hereunto set our hands at Mil waukee in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin in the presence of two witnesses.
