Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 15, T916.,
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, ERNEST A. BICKFORD, a citizen of the United States, residing at l/Vorcester, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Slipper, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a slipper formed wholly or mainly of felt and the principal objects thereof are to provide a simple kind of slipper of this character which can be made by the simplest processes without lasting or turning the upper and without the use of channels or other devices necessitating inclined sewing or the like.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing in which- Figure l is a transverse sectional view of a slipper constructed in accordance with this invention, and Fig. 2 is a similar view showing another form of the invention.
In the manufacture of this slipper the upper A and insole B are first formed. In the ordinary embodiment of the invention they are formed of an integral body of felt felted over a form or last in a way well understood in the felting art. However these two parts are made, a welt C is applied to the insole. This can be sewed directly to it if desired, but T prefer to form this element also of felt and to felt it directly to the bottom of the insole B after the upper and insole are formed. In this way the welt C constitutes a single continuous body all around the slipper and projects both downwardly and outwardly from the insole. This leaves a hollow space just below the insole and between the welts on the two sides which is filled with a packing D. Then an outsole E which may be of leather or any other convenient material is applied and sewed to the welt C by a line or lines of stitching E. In this way it will be seen that a construction is secured in which the outsole is secured in position by stitching in the most simple way possible, and that the ordinary lasting and turning operations are entirely avoided. l
It will be understood, of course, that if it is desired to secure the welt still more firmly in position before the outsole is applied it can be stitched to the insole by'stitching C but this is not ordinarily required, except in ases in which the welt itself is not made of elt.
Although I have illustrated and described only a single form of the invention I am aware of the fact that many modifications can be made therein by any person skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention as expressed in the claims. Therefore, I do not wish to be limited to all the details of construction herein shown and described, but
Vhat I do claim is l. As an article of manufacture a slipper comprising an upper and insole formed of a single piece of felt, a welt sewed to the insole on the bottom thereof and projecting outwardly therefrom, and an outsole secured to the welt.
2. As an article of manufacture a slipper comprising a felt upper and insole integral with each other, a narrow welt projecting down and outwardly from the edge of the insole, an outsole secured to the welt, and a packing between the outsole and insole and between the two portions of the welt on opposite sides of the slipper.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
ERNEST A. BICKFORD.
