- Application ala December s, 1915. serial No. 65,93a`

To all 'whom t may concern: A

Be it k'nown that I, OTTO JAEGGE, citizen of the United States of America, residing at Glendale, Queens county, New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Binding 'for Shoe-Tops; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,.clear, and

exact description of the same.

This invention relates to bindings for shoe tops, laces and the like and process for applying same and has for its ob'ect to reduce the cost and increase thee clency and sightliness'of shoe binding and more particularly to provide in a single strip a binding that will have a maximum of tensile strength and at the same '.timepresent a neat appearance when -the shoe is worn.

While herein I describe minute details of the construction, operation and uses Vof the invention, it is understood thatI lam not limitedto these, as these details may be greatly varied without departing from the scope of the invention as' claimed.

In the accompanying drawing. showingone of many possible embodiments ofthe invention,

Figure 1 is a side elevationA of a portion of a shoe top provided with one form of binding;

Fig. 2 is a face view of the binding strip; Fig. 3 shows a section on an .enlarged scale on line 3 3 of Fig. 1, and

Fig. 4 is a sectional view showing a step in the manufacture;

' cross threads are cottonA an Fig. 5 is a fragmental side elevation showin'another 'form .of the binding;

'g'. 6 shows a section on line 6 of Fi 5.

Re verrinlg to-Figs. 1 to 3 the binding 10 shown at t e-top of a shoe upper 11, shows y invention applied to the so called 'French binding.

. The binding consists of an ornamental part 12 com rising silk or other ornamental ds, and a part 14 comprisingwarp threa cotton or other strong wa threads'. Ihe cross both/sets of the warp threads. The threads may be of any 'colori or shade, but is sometimes better to have the sets of warp threads of contrasting color or shade in order that the operators may easily distinguish them when applying the binding..

The binding strlp 1s lirst stitched as at 15 (Fig. 4)- with its outer face against the outside face of the shoe top, the silk side of the binding strip being I leXt to the edge. The binding `is then carried over the edge of -the shoe top and cemented to the inner face of the shoe top as shown in Fig. 3, after which the lining 16 'of the shoe top is stitched in-place with the line of stitches 17. The object of the cementing is merely to hold the binding in place until the whole is stitched together by the stitches 17.

Figs. 5 and 6 show my invention embodied in a machine binding.

In this case as in the first described mform,l

. mental part lying'to t e: outside as shown.

This method of applyingl the binding is economical both in material and number of operations re uired to apply and is sightly, eicient afiid lasting.

I claim as my invention A binding for. hoe tops having fine silk I i warp threads on one edge portion and coarse cotton warp threads on the opposlte edge portion lying contiguous to the silk warpf threads, and cotton weft threads common to both warp threads.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my -name to this speciiicationin the presence of Vtwo subscribing witnesses.
