Description

CHARLES TWEEDIE, OF .JEFFERSON CITY, MISSOURI.
Boor-croi?.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 7, 1918.
Application led May 17, 1917. Serial No. 169,157.
To all whom z't may concern:
.. Be it known that I, CHARLES TWEEDIE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident ot' Jefferson City, in the county of Cole and State of Missouri, have invented a newl and useful Improvement in Boot-Tops, of which 'the following is a specification.
This invention relatesto boot tops which ,are intended to be worn over shoes, and is an improvement in boot tops of the type which are shown and described in my Patent No. 1,153,977, dated September 21, 1915.
The object ofthe invention is to eliminate thcstrap under the instep; and to stifen the front ofthe boot top`v by means of the shape and arrangement of the tongue so as to dispense with whalebone and like stiiieners in the front edges of the boot top. l The invention consists in the parts and arrangement hereinafter described, reference being had to the accompanying drawings which'show a preferred form of the invention. In the drawings, wherein the same reference characters designate like parts in the several views- Figure 1 is a side view of a boot top; Fig. 2 is a side view of the boot top shown in rig. 1 applied to the foot.
Fig. 3 is a bottom view of the same; and
Fig. 4 is a diagram showing the shapes of the two parts which are secured together to form the tongue. A
The boot top shown in the drawings comprises quarters 12 of suitable material, such as leather, broadcloth or other fabric, cut full length, that is, extending from the upper end or edgelof the leg portion to the top line of the sole and heel of the shoe and having portions in the' shape of tabs 13 which project down and are sewed together at their tip ends to form a loop underthe instep or arch of theA foot. The back seam is sprung in at the heel, as described in my Patent No. 1,153,977, to make it hug the heel of the shoe 14 to which it may be applied; and the front edges of the boot top are likewise sprung downwardly over the instep.
The tongue 15, which forms a part of the laced style of boot tops, is made ofv two pieces which are sewed together end to end. Both pieces 16, 17 are cut across their adjacent ends in curved lines which scoop in, as shown in Fig. 4, so that when the two pieces are sewed together, the tongue is bent across its middle, and is convex or rounded out along its midline for its entire length. The tongue is sewed to the quarter on one edge for its entire length, thereby affording by its shape a substantial stiifening meansv forv the boot top.
The invention is not restricted to the par- Y ticular sty drawings(y I claimklhe following as my invention: A boot top to be worn over a shoe, said boot top having quarters following the gene or cut of boot top shown in the eral lines of the upper portion of a high shoe, the lower edges of said boot top coinciding with the edges of the sole of the shoe along the heel and extending under the shank and secured together, the front portions of said boot top having means for securing them together, and the back` lower portions of said boot top being sprung'in a suiiicient amount to make the lower edges of the boot` top hug the shoe when the front portions are drawn together, and a stiifenmg iap sewed to one of the front edges of said boot top from top to bottomand lapping the other edge.
Signed at St. Louis, Mo., this 15th day of May, 1917.
