AUGUSTUS 0. BOURN, or PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND.
.IMPROVEMEN T IN 'OVERSHOES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 121,446, dated November 28, 1871.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, AUGUSTUS 0. BOURN, of the city and county of Providence, in the State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gaiter Overshoes composed of cloth and rubber.
My invention relates to that class of gaiter overshoes the uppers of which are composed in part of textile fabric; and consists in a novel mode of binding or finishing the anklet; and I do hereby declare that the following Specification, taken in connection with the drawing furnished and forming a part of the same, is a clear, true, and exact description thereof.
Referring to the drawing, Figure 1 represents a gaiter overshoe with my improved binding. Fig. 2 represents a detached portion of the cloth upper. Fig. 3 represents my improved binding in section.
A represents the cloth upper; B, the bindingstrip; and O, the lining. The upper edges of the exterior and interior fabrics are parallel. The interior surface of the uppers and the adjacent surface of the liningis coated with vulcanizable rubber, and the two surfaces are united. The binding-strip is composed of soft vulcanizable rubber say about three-quarters of an inchin width. It is inserted for about two-thirds of its width between the exterior and interior fabric at the .upper edge, encircling the anklet. The two fabrics are then slightly pressed together, causing a union of both with the interposed binding-strip, after which the upper edge of the said strip is turned outward, overlapping for about onequarter of an inch upon the surface of the exterior fabric. in order to secure a practically-perfect union between the binding-strip and this fabric, that portion of the latter to be covered by the strip is previously coated with rubber in substantially the same manner as the whole interior surface is coated. After having been thus united the Whole is vulcanized in a manner well known.
Similar overshoes have been finished heretofore either by a compound binding composed of a central folded rubber band, the flaps or cut edges of which were both inserted between the exterior and interior fabric with its folded edge projecting slightly upward, or with a simple beaded cord of rubber. In both cases the cut edges of the exterior fabric were more or less exposed, they being only partially protected by the overhanging of the larger compound binding and the slight adhesiveness thereto of a portion of the simpler corded binding.
My improvement in binding enables me to thoroughly protect the out edge of the exterior fabric. It adds greatly to the neatness of the shoe, as it presents a perfect and tasty finish. The elasticity of the anklet is increased, and it is as strong and durable as the ordinary binding or any other known to me. From the fact that the lining-fabric extends to the top of the inside binding-edge, a space for ventilation is afforded between the binding and the boot with which the overshoe is worn.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- Theimproved binding for cloth-and-rubber gaiter overshoes herein described, consisting of the rubber bindingstrip B partially interposed between the united surfaces of the exterior fabric and the lining, and also partially folded down
