SHOE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 24, 1917.
Application filed July 1, 1916. Serial No. 107,192.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLns GEORGE min, a citizen of the United States residing at Long Island City, in the county of Queens and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shoes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it ap pertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in shoes and the principal objeet of the invention is to provide a novel form of shoe fastener for holding the shoe on the foot of the wearer.
Another object of the invention is to provide a shoe which is so constructed that the foot enters from the rear thereby doing away with the ordinary button and lace construction of shoes.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a fastening means for shoes which extends from a point near the heel up over the ankle thereby insuring the hold ing of the shoe in place at all times.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts which will be fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure 1 is a side view in elevation of the shoe constructed in accordance with this invention showing the same closed.
Fig; 2 is a perspective View similar to Fig. 1 showing the shoe opened, and
Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary View illustrating the fastening means.
Referring to the drawing, 1 designates the lower portion of the shoe while the numeral 2 designates the upper. As shown in the drawing the upper 2 extends from a point well up on the forward side of the foot down to the lower portion of the shoe and the upper edges of the upper incline rearwardly and downwardly as at 3 to a point adjacent the counter of the heel. The back of the upper is designated by the numeral 4 and comprises a body formed with the forwardly extending tapering wings 5 one of which carries a turn button 6 while the opposite is provided with a slot 7 for the reception of-said turn button as clearly illustrated in Fig. 3.
It will be apparent from the foregoing that in use the button 6 is turned so as to pass through the opening 7 and allow the flaps 5 to turn back as illustrated in Fig. This action will allow the foot to enter the rear of the shoe and it will be apparent that after the foot has been placed in the shoe the flaps 5 are then turned about the ankle and the fastening 6 passed through the slot 7 and turned into position shown in Fig. 3 thereby locking the whole firmly in place. It will be evident that the fastening will not give under normal conditions and yet the shoe may be readily puton and taken off from the foot with little inconvenience.
l/Vhile in the foregoing there has been shown and described the preferred embodiment of this invention, it is to be understood that such changes may be made in the combination and arrangement of parts as will fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claim.
What is claimed is A shoe having an upper comprising a lower portion extending from the sole of the shoe up over the instep at the front of the shoe and having its upper edges inclining downwardly from the front of the upper toward the heel of the shoe, and an upper portion secured to the lower portion at the back of the shoe only, the endsof said upper portion being arranged to be secured together at the front of the shoe, and the lower edge portions of said upper portions being arranged to over-lap the upper edge portions of said lower portions.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
CHARLES G. HEEREN.
