SHOE.
Specification. of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 13, 1917.
Application filed February 25, 1916. Serial No. 80,428.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD H. BINNS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pittsburgh, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shoes, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in shoes, particularly to those of the lace and button varieties, and the primary object thereof is to provide a pulling cuff or hand grip whereby a person is enabled to use all of the fingers, except the thumb of each hand, in pulling the shoe upon his foot, thus dividing the strain among them.
Another object of this invention is to provide a pulling cuff or hand grip for the purpose set forth that may be applied to an ordinary shoe requiring no special construe tion of the shoe aside from that incorporated in the invention.
Further objects of this invention are to provide a pulling cuff or hand grip for the purpose set forth that may be applied to ladies shoes equally as well as to those worn by men, which can be easily attached in place upon a shoe, which is compact in form, comparatively light in weight and attractive in appearance.
Still further objects of this invention are to provide a pulling cuff or hand grip as hereinafter more fully described, which is comparatively simple in its construction and arrangement, strong, durable and eflicient in its use and inexpensive to manufacture.
To the accomplishment of these and such other objects as may hereinafter appear, the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts specifically described arfd illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention.
In the drawing, forming a part of this specification and in which the same reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views Figure 1, is a perspective view of an embodiment of-the inventionas applied to a shoe of the lace variety.
Fig. 2, is a perspective view of a shoe of the button variety in accordance with this invention, with a portion of the shoe broken away.
Fig. 3, is a fragmentary perspective view of a shoe upper with the front portion broken away.
Fig. d, is a fragmentary perspective view of a shoe upper illustrating front portion of the cuff.
Fig. 5, is a cross section on the line 22-50 Fig. 4. Fig. 6, is a fragmentary perspective view of a shoe upper illustrating a modification of the invention, cuff being formed integral with the shoe upper.
Fig. 7 is a cross section on the line g y Fig. 6.
Before proceeding to a more detailed description of this invention, it should be explained that heretofore a shoe upper has been provided ordinarily, on its rear inner or outer surface, at or near the upper edge thereof, with a pulling strap or loop, capable of receiving one finger of a persons hand, thus bringing upon the one finger all the strain required to pull the shoe upon the foot of the wearer. The liability of such strap or loop to soon break or become more or less detached from the shoe is well known, and the strain induced by it on the finger in the act of pulling on a shoe is often attended with inconvenience and unpleasant effects. This invention enables a person to use all of the fingers, except the thumb of each hand, in pulling the shoe upon his foot, thus dividing the strain among them.
Referring more in detail to the accompanying drawing, 1 designates a shoe of the lace variety, as are commonly worn, comprising a shoe upper 2 having the top 3 provided with a flexible pulling cuff or hand grip 4, preferably of the same material as the shoe upper, or of any suitable material, surrounding the exterior of said top 3.
The pulling cuff or hand grip a is stitched directly to the top 3 of the shoe upper 2, the top portion 5, of the pulling cuffi being rounded, and a spacing strip 6, of any suitable material, is secured against the inner face of the rounded portion 5 for maintain ing the pulling cuff 4: permanently spaced from the outer face of the shoe upper 2, so as to permit the fingers of a'persons hand to be introduced endwise up within said pull- The end edges 7, of the pulling cuif 4, are positioned rearwardly with respect to the front or lacing portion 8 of the shoe upper 2, thereby permitting the application of the invention without interference with the lacing and fastening operations.
As a means of resisting the upward rolling, wrinkling or buckling of the pulling cuff a, the end edges 7 may be permanently secured at their lower corners 9 to the shoe upper 2 in any suitable manner so that the pulling cuff a will not closely embrace the shoe upper 2.
When the embodiment of the invention is applied to a shoe of the button variety, as illustrated in Fig. 2, the pulling cuff i is attached to the shoe upper 2 in a manner identical to that heretofore described in reference'to a shoe of the lace variety, with the exception that the fastening portion 10 is positioned at the side of the shoe upper 2.
As shown in the modification of the invention in Fig. 6, the pulling cuff at, instead of being stitched directly to the shoe upper 2, may also be formed integral therewith.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, the advantages of the improvement will be readily apparent, and while describing the appliance which is now considered to be the best embodiment thereof, it is to be understood that the device shown is merely illustrative and that various changes in form, proportions and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. A shoe comprising an upper having the top thereof provided with a cuff surrounding the exterior of said top and permanently spaced therefrom to form a hand grip for pulling the shoe upon the foot, the end edges of said cuff being spaced rearwardly with respect to the front edges of the upper.
2. A shoe comprising an upper having the top thereof provided with a cuff surrounding the exterior of said top and permanently spaced therefrom to form a hand grip for pulling the shoe upon the foot, said cuff connected at its top with the top edge of the upper, said connection being rounded, and means arranged against the inner face of said rounded connection for maintaining the cuff spaced from the outer face of the upper.
3. A shoe comprising an upper having the top thereof provided with a cufi surrounding the exterior of said top and permanently spaced therefrom to form a hand grip for pulling the shoe upon the foot, said cuff con nected at its top with the top edge of the upper, said connection being rounded, the end edges of said cuff being spaced rearwardly with respect to the front edges of the upper.
i. A shoe comprising an upper having the top thereof provided with a cuff surround ing the exterior of said top and permanently spaced therefrom to form a hand grip for pulling the shoe upon the foot, said cuff connected at its top with the top edge of the upper, said connection being rounded, and means arranged against the inner face of said rounded connection for maintaining the cuff spaced from the outer face of the upper, the end edges of said cuff being spaced rearwardly with respect to the front edges of the upper.
5. A shoe comprising an upper having secured to the top edge thereof a cufl providing a hand grip to assist in pulling the shoe upon the foot, said cuff extending around. the outer face of the upper, and means secured to the outer face of the upper near the top thereof for permanently spacing said cuff from the upper.
6. A shoe comprising an upper having se cured to the top edge thereof a cufi providing a hand grip to assist in pulling the shoe upon the foot, said cuff extending around the outer face of the upper, and means secured to the outer face of the upper near the top thereof for permanently spacing said. cuff from the upper, the end edges of said cuff being positioned rearwardly with respect to the front edges of the upper.
7. A shoe comprising an upper provided with a cuff extending around and permanently spaced from the outer face of the upper and providing a hand grip, the end edges of said cuff being positioned rearwardly with respect to the front edges of the upper.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
EDWARD H. BINNS.
