(This: invention relates toA welting for I shoes of that type in which a bead or'ribprojects from the iuppe'r face of the welt strip in osition to closely-engage the shoe` upper. ccordin'g. to the'present invention this bead is preferably made separate from the body .of the welt material and i's so fixed' thereto as toprevent-separation and to impart a pleasing ornamental effect.V More 1() particularly the bead member is stitched to the welt strip by loops 'ofstitching passing over the beadwhich may, if desired, be so tensioned as'to'l give a highl l ornamental corded appearance to the bea v For a more completeV understanding of this invention, reference maybe had to the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1- is a sectional perspective -of a blank-welt strip.' 2o Figure 2 is a -similar'viewv showing the Strippreparedtoreceive the bead.

Figures 3 and 4 are similar views showing? one manner of forming the bead. igure- 5 is a similar view showing a piece of the completed welting.

Figures 6- and 7 are fra mentary plan views villustrating differentv orms of bead attaching strands.

Figure 8 shows in perspective another' manner of forming the bead member,

substantially triangular cross section as at 4 is provided with an extension 5 alongl one face, this extension 5' when formed of leather being of grain stock and forming a `continuation of the adjacent face 6. This ortion 5 is then bent downwardl and nxed to the face 7 of the strip to orm a substantiall triangular bead having its faces 6 an 8 presenting grain stock as shown in Figure 4. This bead is then lthe stitching loops then bulgin toits` normal cross section, as s own at 12, l

, Figures 9 and 10 show in perspective and 4. Referring to these figures av strip of placed in position along the upper lf ace of lthe base vstrip outsidethein'seam' stitch line defined bythe groove 2, asshown in-"Figf ure 5, and is-made fast imposition thereon l `by fasteningsl extending over the bead and 60 passing through the base strip on opposite sides of the bead, also outside .the mseam stitch line. Thus. the formation of the 4in# -seam will not breakthe bead fastening.

As' shown in Figure 5 these fasten'ingsy may comprise strands of stitching material 10. If thesestrands are drawn tightly they may compress the material of the bead where they pass thereover as shown at 11 in Fi res6 and 7, the material between 70H outwardly this giving a corded appearance tothe bead which gives a highly ornamentaleiect. In Figure 6 the strand material is shown of I5 comparatively small diameter,thus present-l ing one appearance .while in Figure 7 it is shown as fiat strands 15 of' considerable width such as tape which, as can clearly be seen from a comparison of these figures, imparts a somewhat different` ornamental effect to the welt. In place -of forming the bead. fromone piece of grain stock, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, it ma be formed by enclosing a core v of any suita le material and of the desired cross section, as shown at 20 in Fi re 8, with the -desired surfacing materlal 21. This may, if desired, be a surfacin of iesh stock cut from welt or sole materlal2 or it 90 may be of upper stockl either matching or contrasting in appearance with the upper material of the shoe in which ,this welt is i intended to be used. This bead formed by wrapping the core strip in a `surfacing material may then be fixed tothe upper'face-of the base strip byA lines of stitching similarly to that shown in Figure 4 to present the construction shown in Figure 9.

If desired the upper face of the base strip in which the lower face of the core strip may rest. i

If desired, of course, the bead could be formed up integrally with the base strip, as disclosed and claimed, for example, in my United States Patent No. v1,656,564, dated January 17, 1928, for.vvelt and method of making the same, in which case, of course, the stitching would ,be used entirely for its ornamental eil'ect.

Having thus described certain embodiments of this invention, it-should be evident to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications might be made therein without departing from its spirit or scope as defined by the appended claims.

l claim:

v l. Welting comprising a base strip, and a bead fixed to one face and parallel to one edge of the base strip by a continuous strand fastening laced over said bead.l A

2. A Welt comprising a leather base strip, and a bead strip formed to present grain surface throughout its exposed portion fixed to the upper face of said base strip by fas tenings passing' thereover.

3. VVelting comprising a base strip, and a bead of compressible materiall sewed to one tace and parallel to one edge of said strip by stitching the `loops ot which are connected and extend laterally over said bead in zig-zag form and are sunk into the material thereof.

4. A Welt comprising a base strip of leather, a bead formed of a core overlaid -with leather presenting the grain surface,

leather, a bead formed of a core overlaid with leather presenting the grain surface, and means for fixing said bead to the upper face of said base strip comprising strand material extending laterally over said bead and through said strip, said strip having its upper face cut away to form a seat to re' ceive said bead.

6. Welting comprising a base strip, and a bead on one facethereof, said bead being ornamented by strand material extending laterally over said bead.

7, ln a beaded Welt a solid bead of substantially triangular cross-section consisting of an uncovered strip of grain leather presenting a grain surface on'two of its three sides.

8. A beaded Welt comprising a basestrip, a separate bead member along one face thereof outside the inseam stitch line, and stitching enveloping the bead and passing through the base, also outside the inseem stitch line, for securing the bead in place.

ln testimony whereof have axed my signature.
