SOLE FOR RUBBER BOOTS.

Application filed January 17, 1927. Serial No. 161,701.

The present invention relates generally to im rovements in rubber boots for firemen [ship said metal disks which have ,been in-.

serted in the perforations will make the soles puncture-proof. v When the three inter 'and advantagesof this invention will now soles are assembled they form a flexible sole "absolutely puncture-proof.

r Another important object of the invention lies in the provision of a sole of this nature which is comparatively simple in its construction, inexpensive tomanufacture, thoroughly eflicient and reliable for the purpose specified and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.

With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in cer-.

tain novel. features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed. i

- In'the drawing:

Figure 1 is a bottom plan view of the bottom sole section,

Fig. 2 is a similar view of the intermediate sole section, I

Fig. 3 is a similar view to the top sole section, f i

Fig. 4 is an edge elevation of the sole with the sections assembled.

Referring to the drawings in detail ,it will be seen that the numeral 1 denotes the bottom sole section which is provided with a plurality of apertures or perforations '2 for receiving metallic disks 3. v

The numeral 4 denotes the intermediate sole section which is provided with perforations 5 for receiving metal disks 6 and the apertures 5 and metal disks Gare arranged in staggered relation to theapertures 2 and metal disks 3 when the intermediate sole 'section 4 is superposed on the bottom sole section 1.. The numeral 7 denotes the top VPATENQTIOFFICE j sole section which is provided with perforations 8 having therein metal disks 9 which are arranged in staggered relation to the perforations 5, metal disks 6, andthe perforations 2 and metal disks 3 when the three sole sections are superimposed as is shown to advantage in F1 ure 4. In. Fig. 4 the numeral 10 denotes t e gummed intersole attached to thesole section. This enables the 7 boot which has a gummed inner lining to be drained and immediately dried as the inside will have a smooth rubber finish similar to the outside.

It, is thought that the construction, utility,

be clearly understood. without a more detailed description thereof. The present embodiment of the invention has been dis' closed in detail merely by way of example since in actualpractice it attains the fea turesofadvantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of thejinvention and the above description. It will be apparent that changes in the details of construction, and

perforations, and a plurality of metal disks,

one ineach perforation, the metal disks in the three sole sections being arranged in. staggered relation so as to prevent the piercmg bled.

of the sole when the sections are assem- 2. A sole ofthe class described coinprising three super-imposed sole sections having perforations, and a plurality of metal disks,- one in each perforation, the metal disks in the three sole sections being arranged in staggered relation so as to prevent the piercing of the, sole when the sections are assembled, the upper surface of the top sole section being gummed.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

JOHN BRENNA QHIN'ES.
