UNITED STATES PATENT QEEIGE JAMES A. VEAVER AND VILLIAM B. HAWKINS, OF EAST SAGINAW, MICH.
IMPROVEMENT IN BOOT-PACS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 147,083. dated February 3, 1874 application iiled September 13, 18.73.
To all whom fit may concern:
Be it known that we, JAnEs A. WEAVER and WILLIAM B. HAwKINs, of East Saginaw,
in the county of Saginaw and State of Michi gan, have invented' a new and Improved Bootlac, of which the following` is a specifica-tion:
The sole-leatherboot-pacs worn by lumbermen and other woodmen, and known as tonguepacs,77 have heretofore been made with seams at the quarters; also with seams from the top ot' the upper, a little each side of the instep,
leather of which such articles are iliade.
Now, we propose to make the whole upper in 011e piece, which we join together at the heel by one short seam only, and thus not only economize considerably in the length of the seams, but we locate the seam where it is so re-enforced and stiit'encd by the counter that it is not so liable to open and leak when the leather is watersoaked as the seams at the counters and the fronts are. Te also con struct the leg, and sew it onto the upper so that the seam of the leg does not join the upper at the sealn of the heel of the latter, whereby we lessen the tendency to open at the junction that would arise by the uniting` of the leg with its seam in the line with the other seam.
Fig. 2 is a rear elevation.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A is the upper of the foot, which we cut in one piece, including the tongue B, in such form that the single seam for sewing the upper together will come at the back C, and will answer for the two quarter seams and the seams in the front heretofore used. We overcome the difficulty of lasting an upper of thick leather in this forni by more thoroughly 'soaking and softening it, so that we can stretch it as much as needful to produce the shape required for the foot, and at the same time it the edges to the insole for fastening to it 5 and the seam D of the leg we arrange a little one side of the rear center, so as not to meet the seam C at the junction of the upper, by which we lessen the tendency to open and leak, because where two seams meet at a cross-seam it is more ditlicult to make a strong tight joint than where only one sea-n1 joins the cross-seam.
Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire t0 secure by Letters Patent- A boot having upper and leg of two pieces, each united at the back, with their seams (l and D relatively arranged, with respect to each other, as shown, and for the purpose described.
