Description
June 6, 1933. J GlLKERSON 1,913,025
HEEL CONSTRUCTION Filed Nov. 7, 1932 ZSnventor (Ittorneg Patented June 6, 1933 JAMES F. GILKER-SON, or MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin HEEL CONSTRUCTION Application filed November 17, 1932. Serial No. 643,025.
The invention relates to shoes and more particularly to the heel construction thereof. Heretofore in the manufacture of sewed seat shoes ithas been customary to secure the heel to the shoe by nails. The main object of the present invention is to provide a heel construction in which the heel is firmly and efliciently secured to the shoe without the use of nails thereby greatly in facilitating the heel attaching operation and eliminating parts usually associated with nailed heel shoes. More particularly, according to the presentinvention the heel base is secured to the outer sole and welt by stitching and the top lift secured to the heel base by a suitable adhesive. Preferably the heel base has an outer layer of material permeable to the adhesive to which the top lift is secured by the said adhestive.
The invention further consists in the several features hereinafter set forth and more particularly defined by claims at the conclusion hereof. Y
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a bottom view of a portion of a shoe having a heel embodying the invention, the view through the heel being taken on the section line 1- 1 of Fig. 2, parts being broken away,
Fig. 2 is a detail sectional view through a shoe having a heel construction embodying the invention and taken on the line 2--2 of Fig. 1. t
In the drawing, the numeral 3 designates the upper, which may have a lining 4 and counter 5 associated therewith, these parts being secured in the usual manner to the flange 6 of the insole 7 and to the welt 8 by the inseam stitching 9, the weltextending 49 around the entire heel as is usual in Goodyear welt shoes having sewed heel seats.
The heel portion may have the usual bottom filler 10 disposed in the cavity of the insole or this space may have the cushion heel member of my prior United'States Let-. ters Patent N 0. 1,751,991 dated March 25,-
1930 associated therewith and in either case the outer sole 11 is secured to the shoe by stitching passing through said outer sole and welt,
suitable adhesive or cement Accordingto the present invention, the heel base 12 which may be formed of several pieces of material a such as the layers 13, 14 and the tiller piece 15 is secured to the shoe by stitching 16 that passes through said heel base, outer sole 11 andwelt 8, which stitching may be separate or may forin a continuation of the stitching that secures the outer sole 11 to the welt 8 in the other parts of the shoe. The parts 13and 15 of" a l the heel base are preferably of hard leather or fibre usually employed for this purpose While the layer 141s a relatively thin leather, such as upper leather or other suitable substitute,,such as fabric compositions, this layer having rough surfaces and being' permeable to a suitable adhesive or cement. This layer 14 is secured to the layer 13 by 17 before the heel base is stitched to the shoe. Thereafter the top lift 18, such as the usual rubber reel is secured to the heel base by an adhesive or cement 19 applied between said heel lift and the layer 14 of said base, the adhesive used in this operation being free to penetrate the permeable layer 14 of material so as to secure a most efficient bond, it being noted that the rough character of thesurface of the layer 14 also assists in securing. a good connection between the cemented parts of the heel.
With the foregoing construction, the heel base is firmly secured to the outer sole and to the top lift without the use of nails, thereby providing a nailess heel construction in a sewed heel seat shoe.
I desire it to be understood that this invention is not to be limited to any particular form or arrangement of parts except in so far as such limitations are included in the claims. 1
What I claim as my invention is:
1. In a Goodyear welt shoe having a sewed heelseat, the combination with the outer, 9 sole and the welt, of a heel base having a relatively hard layer of material and an outer layer of material secured to said hard layer by an adhesive, stitching securing said heel base to said outer sole and Welt andAl Q a top lift cemented to said outer layer of material.
2. In a Goodyear welt shoe having a sewed heel seat, the combination with the outer sole and the welt, of a heel base having an outer layer of permeable material, stitching securing said heel base to said outer sole and welt, and a top lift cemented to said outer layer of material, the adhesive being free to penetrate said permeable material.
3. In a Goodyear welt shoe having a sewed heel seat, the combination with the outer sole and the welt, of a heel having a body portion and an outer layer of adhesive permeable material secured to said body portion by adhesive stitching securing said heel base to said outer sole and welt, and a top lift cemented to said outer layeiflof material by an adhesive free to penetrate the same, said outer layer of vthe heel base having roughened surfaces. 7
4. I11 a Goodyear welt shoe having a sewed heel seat, the combination .with the outer sole and the welt, of a heel base having a body portion and an outer layer of upper leather secured thereto by an adhesive, stitching securing'said heel base to said outer sole and welt, and a top lift cemented to said outer layer of material.
In testimony whereof, I aflix my signature.
JAMES F. GILKERSON.
