Vsnor: coNsrauc'rIo'N.

i To all whom it may concern.'

-Be it known that I, -SIGMUN .Iosnrn '1 PEN'rmR, a citizen of the UnitedStates, and

resident of Wausau, in the county of Marathon and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements' in Shoe Construction; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention consists in certain' new useful improvements in in the manner of securing the several parts ofthe same together. u

Aty the present time it is customary to insert the inner sole sock lining after the shoe has beenVv lasted and the outer added. Ihis sock lining must obviously be cemented or otherwise securedI in position to prevent wrinkling or the like, and inasmuch as it isv inserted. as the final operation the making of a shoe, it necessarily occupies a portion of the space intended for the wearers foot.

tion when the p lnlit occupy any of the foot space within said n S for to the lower .portion or soles of t other ob'ects and advan portion..

It i's one object of the present invention to build thesock into the shoe at the same time that 'the middle sole is applied; this eliminates, the heretofore necessary inal operation of cementing the sock lining. Furthermore as this sock lining is in posishoe is being lasted it will oe. A further object of the'invention is to provide an improved arrangement for securing the shoe upper and the there-v e shoe. With' these and tages in view which' will come apparent as thedescription and operation progresses, it will be seen that my shoe consists in cerf tain novel combinations of parts which will be hereinafter more particularly described and claimed.

In he drawingsz Figure 1 represents a side elevational view, partly in longitud-inalfs'ection, of a shoe constructed in accordance with my invention. f i i Fig. 2 is' a transverse sectional view through thetoe portion of my shoe.

tlilrough a portion ofa partially completed s oe. i

,Referring more particularly to the drawings-it will be seen that the numeral 1 designat'es the upperfof a shoe constructed in accordance with in and outer cloth linings 2 and 3 respectively, a toe box 4 and a counter 5x This upper is secured by any one of the several methods at lpresent in use to a middle sole 6 or to an inner sole or socliv lining 7 and said middle sole 6 is secured to an outer sole 8. The usual rubber or leather heel 9 is nailed to thin heel portion'of the outer sole and middle so e.

As hereinbefore mentioned one of the most important features ofthis invention 6f`of themiddle sole 6, the toe and heel portions 7b Iand 7 respectively of the sock linconsists in applying ing being free as illustrated by the dot and dash lines in Fig. l or in Fig. 4. The middlelsole 6 is cut in the shape of a foot as is customary and is substantially the same size fas the outer sole 8; thesock. lining on the other hand is cu-t on the insole pattern and conseqiiently is considerably smaller than the middle sole although of the same configuration.

After' the upper, including its linings 2 and 3 and toe and counters has been fashioned .it is placed on a last and -then secured to the 'middle sole or to the sock lin- "ing 6. Fig. 1 illustrates the upper stitched as at 11to the middle sole 6 while the inner lining 2 and the edges of the toe and heel boxes are bent inwardly and cemented, stitched or' otherwise secured to the under side of the sock ,linin -Tlie outer lining 3 ofthe upper, it will e noted from Fig. 1, terminates substantially at vthe inner edge of the toe 'box and similarly at the upper edge of the heel'box.

In Fig.' 5 the ufpper 1 as well as the heel box 5 and the lining 2 is lasted in and secured as at 12 to the under surface of the sock lining 7'.' In this form of my invention the middle sole 6- and sock lining 7 are secured together as in the form of shoe shown-inFig.1.

The outer sole 8 is stitched as at 13 or invention having inner secured together not only by the method illustrated, lout/by the Goodyear welt or by f any other preferred process.

Beforethe heel ortion 7 of the s ock 1ining has the inwarY y extending partsof the counter andlining 2 cementedor otherwise attaehed thereto, the'jheel. 9 nailed in place. They heel portion 7 lbeing. free, it

may be moved away from the adjacent por:

' tion of the'middle 'soleso that `the nailsv 16 maybe clenched as they. project through the latter, or a temperary l,metallic 'heell plate may Jbe place'dhetween theV heelpor-vv tions of the middle 's ole and sockflinlng to turn thenails 16 as they are driven thereagrgaiiisia, Thus a nailless 'heeLseat is pro; duced.- f e lThere .are several very material advantages to be vderived front-,the Seeurementof ythesock'linimg; orfinner'sole and the middle sole together, prior to the incorporation "of the latter` into a shoe' in' addition to those already. enumerated. For' instance, the 4sock `lining increases the stillness of the middle ysole at its weakest point and thus a thinner or cheaper grade of 4material may be used for'suchfmiddle sole. -And the edge of the sock lining prevents the upper from falling in adjacent its attachment to the middle sole-and thereby retains the shoe in proper shape. g I claimn;

In a boot or shoe, an upper, a lining therein, a middle sole of comparatively thinl and flexible material, a sock lining of thin and flexible material and smaller in sizev than the middle sole, an independent row of of the shank ofthe sock linin linin and middle sole and decrease their flexibility, the edge of the 'socklining being equally spaced 4from the edge'of the middle sole, theheel and toe portions of the former being free', means for securing the lower edge of the upper to the portion ofthe middle sole disposed outwardly .of the edge of the sock lining, the lower edgeof the lining `stitching securing each longitudinal edge.

to the sha-nk .of the middlesole to Stillen' oth the sock*- of Ithe upper. loeing disposed r,beneath the edge portions of the sock lining, and an outer sole of the same size as the middle sole. and secured thereto.

- In testimony that I. olaim tho forog'oing l have hereunto set my hand at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee, and State of Wlsconsin.`
