To all whom it may concern: 7

Be it known that I, GEORGE W. MILLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Wooden Sole Sandals, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to produce a sandal comprising a wooden sole and an upper or fastening therefor made of canvas or leather.

This and other objects of the invention will be fully illustrated in the drawings, described in the specification, and pointed out in the claims at the end thereof;

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the sandal viewed from the left side thereof. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the sandal viewed from the opposite side. Fig. 3 is a vertical section through the heel of the sandal the section being taken on the line 3" of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the wooden sole of the sandal. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the sole of .the sandal with the upper in process of being attached thereto. Fig. 6 is a bottom plan view of the sole of the sandal showing the rubber plugs in place on the sole.

In the accompanying drawings like reference numerals indicate like parts.

- upper is made up oftwo parts, the main This sandal is made up of a wooden sole 1 having an upper attached thereto, which body part being indicated by the reference numeral2 and the strap indicated by the reference numeral 3. The wooden sole 1 is made preferably of a single pieceofwood turned up to the proper shape in a last machine, the bottom of it being made with. a flat heel and rounded half sole substantially of theoutline followed for the ordi nary types of shoes and the top of it is described.

these recesses as is shown at 8 and 9. These ooves and recesses are intended re-: 'ceive thelower part of the 'upper which 1s fastened therein by staples or binding wire or by a combination of both as will now be As is indicated in 3 and 5 the up- Specification of Letters Patent.

per is laid against the wooden sole with the fastening edges thereof overlappingthe grooved and recessed places, the upper being placed upside down and with the wrong side out. The'forward part of the upper is fastened in place in the groove 8 by means of a long w re staple 10, which is of nearly the same length as the groove,

which staple engages with the u per about a quarter of an inch from the e ge thereof and forces it into the groove. The staple 10 may be reinforced by

small staples

11 and 12. This fastening is illustrated in the left hand end in Fig. 5.

The rear end of the upper is fastened to the sole above the heel in the manner shown in the right hand end-in Fig. 5. At the rear end a binding wire 13 is used having a staple 14 fastened to each end thereof. The upper 2 is laid in place and the staple at one end of the Wire is driven into the groove preferably through the-upper about a quarter of an inch from the edge thereof fastening the upper and one end of the bindmg wire at that point. This binding wire is then drawn around the groove forcing the-upper into the groove about a quarter of an inch of the upperbeing left projecting above the groove. The freeend of the wire and the upper is then fastened into extends around the upper edge of the heel.

This binding'wire may be held more securely in place by staples such as are shown at 15, 15, etc., which staples are driven into the grooves and serve to hold both the wire and upper in place. After the upper has thus been fastened in place it is then invertedor-turned right .side up on the sole. This brings it tothe position shown in Figs. 1 and 2. I I

It will be understood that the strap 3 is fastened on the op osite side of the sole in the same manner which the forward part of the upper is fastened. The upper is provided with buckles shown in Fig. 1' withposition permitting it to rest snugly in place in the sole. The depth of the recesses being about equal to the thickness of the material of the upper. The bottom of the sole forming both an outsole and an insole.
