Application filed May 3, 1926. Serial No. 106,266.
In the manufacture of shoes by the welt the oblique portion of. the shank, and the or McKay process, it has become common sides,thus extended, Would not be effective practice to employ counters, or heel stiifunless held in place by the flange directly eners which have both side portions extend connected to the bottom thereof and thru for the greater portion of the length of the which the stitches are passed into the inner shank of the shoe, or nearly to the ball porsole. As ordinarily constructed, the nartion, instead of having them terminate at the 'rowest portion of the hank is at approxi-v front end of the heel, as has been customary. mately the middle of the oblique portion If the counter is properly fitted, such a thereof, so that, in lasting the counter onto 10 construction hasv been found to have impor the inner sole, which will have been placed tant advantages, as compared with former on the last bottom, the front portions of the practice, as the extended sides of the counter sides of the counter have to be drawn inwill stiffen the shank and act to afford a Ward to an extent so that they will lie more effective support for the arch of the closely against the sides of the last at this 15 foot. Also, the extended sides will act to point. Thisnot only necessitates the draW- hold the top portions of the sides of the foot ing in of the counter flange, at its front ends, opening in a low cut shoe, so that these poronto the oblique portion of the sole bottom, tions will be as effective in preventing slipbut it also necessitates the longitudinal conping at the heel as the back of the shoe. The formance of the flange therewith, and I have 20 appearance of the shoe will also be substanascertained, that; in ressing down the front tially improved by the use of this form of end portions of the ange to make them concounter. form to the oblique shank portion, other por In the manufacture of shoes thus contions of the counter will be forced away from structed, various difliculties have, however, the last when they should conform closely 25 been encountered, and these'difficulties have thereto. This is likely to occur at any one been particularly great in the manufacture or all of three portions, depending on the of pumps or slippers having high heels, in Way the counter is held; viz, the heel seat which the front portion of the shank part portion of the flange is likely to be lifted of the shoe is necessarily curved, or extended from the last, theback portion of the coun- 3o bli u ly from the level of the heel seat, to ter is likely to be pushed away from the back provide for the difference in elevation beend of the last and the top edges of the tween the heel seat and the tread surface at sides are likely to be drawn down and the ball portion of the shoe. These diifithrown out ffom the sides of the last. If the culties, which are present in a lesser degree counter is made to conform at any one of 3.3 in low heeled shoes, are due, primarily, to these points, it will be thrown out at one, or the fact that shoe'counters, when moulded both of the others, and it has usually been a by present day methods, do not conform to question of choosing the lesser of two or the last, when the sides are extended more evils. In order that the heel may be throughout the greater portion of the shank, properly attached, the flange'of the counter 40 and the laster, in attempting to make one should rest firmly on the heel of the sole, and
portion conform to the last is likely to throw When this is forced down, after having been another portion out of conformance therelifted by the laster in conforming the front with Y ends of the flange to the inclined portion of To explain more specifically, in molding the shank, the back of the counter will be 4 counters in any ordinary counter molding pushed back, so that it will overhang the 1 machine now in use, the inturned flange is heel seat at the back and somewhat at the wiped in and molded flat, and it is, so far as sides. As a result, when the shoe is finished, I am aware, impractical to mold counters in the heel does not support the sides and back any other manner. If the flange of the of the counter, and, when the shoe is worn, counter did not extend beyond the flat porthe bottom portion of the counter will usution of the bottom of the last, the difliculally be pushed down in a roll about the side ties above referred to would not occur, but, of the heel. If the sides of the counter are the long sided counter to be effective, should also drawn away from the last at their top extend for a substantial distance beyond this edges, the foot opening Will be unduly widpoint, as for example opposite the middle of ened, andthe sides of the upper will not he no tion between close to the foot of the wearer and will not assist in preventing slipping at the heel. Added to this, the difficulty of the lasting operation is substantially increased when lon sided counters, such as have previous y been produced, are employed, not only for the reasons already indicated, but for the further reason that it is ditlicult for the laster to draw in each end of the counter to the same extent, so that the edges will be of uniform height at each side. This is due to the fact that, as the'top edge of the counter extends continuously with the end of the flange, and there is no clear line of demarkathe side and the flange at this point, partly due to the fact that, a this point, the side of the last is usually at but a slight angle to the bottom, the laster has no positive guide to indicate the extent to 'hich he must draw in the tips of the sides over the bottom. In consequence he is liable to draw in one side/more than the other, with the result that the top edge of the counter at its front ends, will be lower at one side than at the other, so that the upper will not be supported at a uniform height at each side and there will be a tendency for the upper to become crowded down at the side which is not supported by the counter at the height intended.
While an apparent method of avoiding these difficulties would be to mold the shank portion of the flange to conform to the contour of the shoe shank longitudinally, there is no machinery at present available with which this could be done, and it it should, in fact, be practical to produce a machine which would mold the flanges to conform tothe inclination of the shank it would be necessary for the counter manufacturer to have a difierent set of molds for each height of heel or shape vof shank used by the shoe manufacturer, and it would be also necessary for the latter to keep on hand a very large stock of counters for the different heights of heels, so that the expense would be greatly increased, probably to such an extent as to be prohibitive.
The ob'ects of my invention are to provide a form 0 counter, which may be molded by resent methods, and has side portions adapted to extend opposite the middle of the oblique portion of the shank of the shoe, and which will fit out its entire inner surface, without bending the same to any substantial extent, from the form in which it was molded, so-that, when the'flan'ge is drawn in andfitted to the front ortion of the shank, there will be no tenency' to push any portion thereof away from the last, whereby all the advantages of a counter of this type may be secured without incurr the disadvantages thereof, including the increase in cost of'the labor of lasting counters of this-type. Also to proly all snugly .to its last through;
vide a counter of this type which will be so formed that the laster will be readily able to set the counter in the correct position with relation to the inner sole, so that the side portions thereof will be of uniform height when the operation is finished.
I accomplish these objects in the manner hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which 2-- Fig. 1 is a top plan view of a shoe counter embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view thereof, bottom side up.
Fig. 3 is a perspective View showing the counter in position on a last.
Fig. t is a View, partly in section and partly in perspective, of a portion of the shank part of a shoe in which the counter is incorporated.
According to my invention I provide a counter a, which may be formed from any of the materials of which shoe counters are commonly constructed, said counter being moulded in the usual U-form to fit the heel portion of a last, indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 3 and having its side portions adapted to extend along both sides of the last, beyond the heel breast, and opposite the shank portion, nearly to the ball portion, the upper edges of the sides of the counter being extended in the usual curved formation and terminating at the edges of the innor sole m, which is also'indicated in dotted outline in Fig. 3, as in positionon the bottom of the last ready for the lasting operation.
In all shoes having a height, as the of theball portion of the fore part must be the shank portion, which extends properly, from the face of the ball portion, to provide for the difference in level, the extent of inclination being varied according to the height of the heel. That is, with a comparatively low heel, the heel seat portion will be nearly horizontal and nearof the inclination of-the shank portion will be in its front portion, as at y in Fig. 3, while, with an extremely high heel, the heel seat and-rear portion of the shank part will be formed at'a considerable inclination to the tread surfaceat the ball, and this inclination is usually substantiall increased in the front portion of the shanh part, but the point where this increase in inclination begins'varies with thefldesign of the shoe. Usually the shank portion immediately adjacent the heelseatis extended in the plane ofthe heel seat and'then is ex-.
ea of substantial. tread surfaces of theeheel andand the adjacent shank heel seat to the ball portion'fmust be formed at an inclination to the tread sur-- of the inclined portion. In
e will be also varied,
blend with the tread surface at the ball, or the front shank portion being extended to meet the ball surface at an obtuse angle. That is, the front portion of the shank part is always inclined to theheel seat, and usually to the shank portion adjacent the heel seat, and, to secure the advantages of the long sided counter, the sides must be extended opposite this inclined portion for a substantial distance, the extent varying according to the character or design of the shoe and usually for at least'one half the length Fig. 3 the front end of the sides are shown as terminating approximately midway of the inclined shank portion 3 and at approximately directly opposite points, indicating common practice. The counter is also provided with the usual inturned flange c, which is adapted to conform to the flat portion of thelast bottom, and extends from the heel end to, or adjacent the point in the shank portion, indicated by dotted line a in Fig. 3, at which the -last bottom extends obliquely to the ball portion, that is, at the approximate trans verse line at which the shank surface begins to extend at a perceptible angle to the surface of the heel seat and to the adjacent portion of the shank surface; Throughout this portion the flange is of the usual, and practically uniform width. From this point, each end portion 03 of the flange is tapered to the adjacent sides, so that the edges of said end portions extend divergently with relation to each other, the oblique edge of each flange end-portion meeting the' edge of the corresponding side at an angle, the vertex 6 of which is designed to be so located that when the counter is held in its correct position on the last each vertex, or pointed end 6, will lie directly over the side edge of the inner sole, or on the corner where the bottom surface of the inner sole meets its side edge, at approximately opposite points intermediate the inclined shank portion 3/. It will be understood, however, that the exact extent to which the sides of the counter extend opposite the inclined shank portion will depend on conditions and will be varied in practice, also, that the angle at which the edges d of the tapered'tlange portion meet the edges of the sides at the points but it is important, in order that all the advantages of the invention may be secured, that these edges meet at a well defined point or angle, which bears a certain relation to the top edges of the sides, so that, in lasting the shoe, the laster 1 may draw in the sides of the counter until these points are directly over the edge of the inner sole, as shown in Fig. 3, and then may secure the counter in-this position, so that eaclr'side edge thereof will be at the same height, and the counter will also then be correctly positioned on the last, or held in the position in which it was designed to be held As thus constructed, when the counter is fitted to the last, in performing the lasting operation, the flange 0 thereof will lie flat on-the portion of the sole over the flatportion. of the last bottom which extend from the heel end to approximately the line a, at which point the shank is extended obliquely to thetread surface of the 'ball'. From this point the edge of the flange, at each end, is extended obliquely on, or about the shank surface, which is usually somewhat rounded transversely, so that the flange endportions are laid upon, or bent about the shank surface somewhat spirally. In conforming the flange to the sole bottom in this manner, there will be no tendency to displace the other portions of the counter,
which will be held firmly on the heel seat and against the side surface of the last at all points, so that the lasting operation may be performed with no more difliculty than if the sides of the counter terminated at the heel breast. The upper attaching stitches,
will pass through the tapered portions of the counter flanges nearly to the extreme frontends of the sides, as indicated in Fig.
4, and as the short portions of the flange,
beyond the points Where the stitches leave the flange, extend to the extreme ends of the sides, these portions of the counter will be sufliciently supported thereby. Also, in
drawing in the. sides of the counter, at their front ends, against the'sides of the last, there will be no tendency to draw the sides toward the bottom, so that there will be no tendency to cause the sides of the counter to spring away from the sides of the last. In consequence the sides of the'shoe will fit closely against the 7 sides of the foot of the wearer and there will be no tendency of the sides of the shoe to bulge out.
By forming the end portions of the flange so that they taper to the sides of the counter, theflzlength of said sides, or the distance which they extend forwardly beneath the upper above the sole, is-actually increased for the same length of blank, so that a substantial saving in stock in cutting out the counter blanks may be made, while the effectiveness of the counter in upper'i's in no way decreased. A firm heel seat is provided and the liability of having the back portion of the counter forced away from the back side of the last, inthe asting operation, is avoided, so that. the back of the shoe will not overhang, or project beyond the back of the heel when finished and the shoe Will-not be oversize in length.
