Description

UNITEDl STATES JAMES SELVA, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
DANCING- SLIPPER.
Application led December 2, 1926. Serial No. 152,106.
Slippers of the type suitable for toe dancing have been made by glueing a plurality of layers of canvas together at the toe portion of the slipper and placing over these suc- I cessive plies a finishing piece of satin, the entire body being turned under and held by the sole which completes the article.
After the slipper has been used perhaps once of twice, the outer piece of satin wears l through and exposes the canvas at the toe,
rendering the slipper useless.
Previous attempts to lengthen the life of the slipper have been directed to sewing a patch of suitable form over the toe so that l when the patch has become worn through, it can be ripped off and the slipper used in the old way. The success of these improved forms has been limited by the unsightly apf pearance of the slipper with the patch secured thereto, it being highly desirable to preserve the smooth and continuous toe of the old form of slipper.
The present invention .has for an object, the lengthening of the life of a slipper without destroying the continuity of surface of the toe portion and the manner in which the invention is carried out will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure l is an elevation showing the added feature tion.
Figure 2 is a view, partly broken away, showing the toe construction. p
Figure 3 is a section taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 2 and looking in the direction of the arrows.
In the drawings a represents a slipper of the type adapted for toe dancing, and hav- 40 ing a to'e portion a of satin or other material of the desired character. An inside or hottom Vlayer g of canvas is provided, upon of the slipper of this invenwhich a coating g 0f glue is placed. A. toe patch f of canvas is placed over, and secured by the glue g. A reinforcing pad e is lnext applied, over which a second canvas patch cl is secured, it being understood that a coating of glue is applied t0 each succssive layer to secure each to the under layer.
A layer of canvas c, forming a reinforcement for the upper portion of the slipper is glued to the patch d and to the toe portion of this layer a piece of satin, or material similar to the outer layer, is glued. This piece is designated by the reference character b and around its periphery a coating of glue ZJ is applied. The outer layer a of the slipper is then pressed over the glued portion b and the above described structure which constitutes the upper portion of the 50 slipper is turned under and secured by the sole it, thus completing the article.
Obviously the method of making the slipper can be varied as well as the material of the sub patch b as longv as the latter is similar in appearance to the outer finishing layer of the slipper, and the invention is not to be limited save as defined by the appended claim.
What I claim is:
In a slipper of the character adapted for toe dancing, -a sole, an outer finishing layer, an inner reinforcing layer, means to secure the layers to the sole, a patch between the outer and inner layer and of a character similar to the outer layer for supplying an added surface when the latter wears through, and means for securing the patch by the securing means forthe outer layer positively in position between the layers to prevent its so dislodging when used.
