WORK SHOE.
Application led'November 20, 1926. Serial No. 149,612.
important to prevent, as far as possible, the
entrance of such materials through the vent between the two lapped edges or flaps of the shoe-upper.
Thepresent invention satisfies both these important needs by providing a construc-r tion of Shoe that positively prevents the upper from opening accidentally under the stresses vof the yfoot inside, 'while yet permitting the stripping open of the vent by a single7 rapid sweep of the hand, and that also positively prevents ingress of Such substances through the` vent opening as the shoe is normally worn.
In general the invention comprises a shoe Whose vent is held closedl by quick releasable fasteners, the vent itself being sealed byfa foldable or collapsible tongue or sealing portionextendingfrom'the flap on one side of the vent to the flap on the other side of the vent so as to form an extensible guard-strip connecting the two flaps or sides of the shoe-upper.
These and other features of the invention will be described in thefollowing.specilication and will be defined in the claims hereto annexed.
In the accompanying drawings I have illustrated the embodiment of the principles of this invention in concrete forms in which:
Figure l is an outside elevation of a shoe containing my said improvements.
Figure 2 is an edge view of the upper at about the lSectional line 2 2 on Figure 1, showing one construction for sealing the vent.
Figure 3 is a similar view Showing a somewhat modified form of means for sealing the vent. l
The shoe itself, as actually made, comprises the shoe-bottom l, the vamp 2, the counter 3 and upper 4, but by preference the vent or slit extending from the top of the upper to its juncture with the vamp is lo cated well beyond the middle front line,
r preferably on the outside of the shoe, the
inner flap forming the edge portion of the upper on one sidev of the vent, as shown at ta,
being carried well beyond the edge portion of the outer flap'llcb so as to produce a sub stantial overlap between'these two parts of the upper.
yIn the outside flap vis secured a series of spring-jaw` socketA members 5, the free ends of whose spring-jaws 5 point downwardly in approximate parallelism with the edge of theflap 4, so that a quick outward pull exerted at the top edge of the flap 4b serves to release almost instantaneously, byr a singlel sweep of the hand, the entirev series of fasteners. These fasteners are of a well knownv type and their spring-jaws 5a are arranged so as to resist release except by a pull from` above outwardly. As will be Seen fromr the drawings, they are aligned in a longitudinal row so that each is released byan outward pull against its upper portion. y
These socket members are placed to register kwith co-acting grooved or shouldered studs 6, attached to the opposite side ofthe vent, preferably by means of a separate flap or stud-carrying strip 6a, which is stitched or otherwise secured to the adjacent flap of the upper in order that the inside anchoring portion of the metal stud may not press directly against the footbuty against the interposed leather flap, thereby preventing discomfort and the production of sores on the foot of the wearer.
To seal or close the vent against the. ingress of molten iron, chemicals or other substances that might splash from the floor orA into which the foot might be thrust, I provide any extension or guard member 7, which, as 'shown in Figure 2,. is Secured to the flap 4a by stitching or otherwise, yand which is carried across to the opposite side of the inside face turned outward to lie against 1 front of the foot and folded back with its the inside surfaceof` the outer flap 4b, to f the upper with such an excess of stock as f to form vthis tongue or guard portion intethere isno possibility. ofalieuid or .seinifliquid gral with the outside portion of the upper, as shown -in'FigureBtat 7".
In=thiscase the ysocket lmember .of the fastener is secured to the flap 4b of the upper preciselyas beforethe only difference being that instead of providing a separate extension piece 7, asin Figure 2, stitched to the forward edge of the outside portion of the upper Il, theseitwopieees are: made in one integral piece.
The stud-carrying stripuaiand -the stud `G ,arciiconstructed :and: arranged precisely before, aslin'Figure'Q, and the stripfqu -is attached `to'the outsidenieinber of'the up pershoeftop by stitching, as previously 1described.
