L, D. CHANDLER WELT FOR 'BOOTS AND SHOES Filed April l2, 19129 ATTQRA/ EY v for boots and shoes.
Patented Dec. 2 9, 1931 Y muri-:D s'rATi-:sg
WELT non Boomsannsions Application filed. April 12,
The present invention relates to welting lVelting is commonly made of expensive high grade leather so that it is'important that the leather stock be cut to give the great-` est possible yield of welt-ing having there quired strength, width and thickness.
The present invention relates to improvements in the construction of welting whereby a substantial saving in leather may be secured, i
and cost inoutlay for stock reduced.
In accordance with the presentl invention the leatherstock is cut to form strips of less width than the finished welt and the width of the strip is increased the required amount by fastening to the inner edge of the stripof stock a small and inexpensive cutting of leather or a flexible strip of foreign material made of cork, felt or other compressible substance adapted to lie in the crease of the shoe. In this manner a substantial saving in leather welt stock is obtained and the material secured to the leather strip may possess properties that will cause it to ht more snugly than the usual welting in the crease of the shoe.
The invention will be best understood from the following description when read in connection with the accompanying drawings showing good practical forms thereof.
In the drawings,-
Fig. 1 is a perspective viewvof a piece of leafher strip of less width than the finished we t; Y
Fig. 2 is a perspectveview of a narrow strip of foreign material;
Fig. 3 is a perspective viewshowingthe strips of Figs. 1 and Qsecured together;
Fig. 4' shows the welt of Fig. 3 having a stitch-receiving groove;
Fig. 5 is a view similar' to Fig. 4 but shows a modified construction; and
Fig. 6 is a transverse sectional view through a portion of a shoe provided with the welt of Fig. 1.
In accordance with the present invention the leather stock is cut into strips l0 of less width than the desired finished welt, and the strip of welt is given the desired increased width by securing a narrow strip 11 19.29. serial NQ. 354,509.
ernennt attenti as the inner edge fitte strip 10 as will be apparent fromFig. 3f
The .narrow` strip 11 maybe formed: of
cork, felt, leather or'rother flexibley vmaterials and preferably is more orlefss compressible so that itv'will conform tothe shape of the crease of the shoe inwhich it is secured and fit snugly therein. In soinecases'itmay be desirable to use the ,leather cuttingvrthat is removed from `the stitchreceiving ,groove 12 of welting, as the material 11 which is secured to the edgeof the leatherstrip 10 ,toincrease its width. In this m'anneruse.` maybe ina-,deof the small strip or cutting of` leather whichisordinarily wasted fin forming the groove 12.` The size and shape of the groove 12 may be varied within certain limits with a view `of producing a small strandofleather adapted to be secured tothe edge of theistrip 1021s indicated lby 11 to @impartthe Adesired widthv to the welting. .TheY strip i l11` may have any desired shape and may begiven the desired configuration either beforeor after it is attached to'the'leather strip 10,and the strip 11 maybe securedto the strip "10 by adhesive cement, or other forms of securing means may be employed. l Y
possess less tensile strength than the leather 10, and if the strip 11 is formed of cork, felt or a cutting of leather as above suggested it may be forced in the crease of the shoe more readily than the usual welting. p
The welt strip constructed in accordance withv the present invention preferably `has the usual bevel 14 adapted to engage the shoe Aupper 15 against which it is held by the row of stitches 13 engaging the inner sole 16. The welt strip may be secured to a shoe the same as any ordinary welting, as will be apparent from Fig. 6.
It will be clear from the foregoing that through the use of the present invention a substantial saving in leather Welt stock is secured and the resiliency of the inner edge portion of the strip of Welt may be increased so that it will it more snugly in the shoe crease.
The features of the present invention obviously may be given various constructions and in the modification of Fig. 5 the strip of leather 10 is cut to form the integral tongue 17 that is bent outwardly from the Welt from which it is severed to extend over the narrow strip l1 of attached material. This provides a more secure method of attaching the foreign material to the leather strip 10 and covers or conceals the joint bet-Ween the tWo strips. A
. That is claimed 'is 'l. As an, article ofV manufacture, a Welt formed of a strip of leather stock of less Width than the finished Welt and having its Width increased by a narrow strip of cork material adhesively secured to the inner edge of the Welt stock so as not to overlie the upper face ofthe leather strip.
2. As an article of manufacture, a Welt formed of a.' strip of leather stock of less Width than the finished Welt and having an integral tongue extending therefrom, and having the Width of the strip increased by a strip of foreign material secured between the tongue and adjacent edge of the Welt stock.
3. As an article of manufacture, a Welt formed of a strip of leather stock of less Width than the linished welt and having its Width increased by applying to the inner edge only of the Welt stock a separate strip having the thickness to be added to the Width ofthe Welt stock and shaped to lie in the crease of a shoe.
4. `As ank article of manufacture, a Welt formed of a strip of leather stock of less Width than the finished Welt and having its Width increasedV by applying to the inner edge only of the Welt stock a separate strip of foreign material having the thickness to be added to the Width of the welt stock and shaped to lie in the crease of a shoe.
In testimony whereof, I havev signed my name to this specification.
LEONARD D, CHANDLER.
