9 Claims.

This invention relates to shoes and more par cularly to the construction of the same by securing together the upper and the sole or bottom. One of the objects of this invention is to provide a shoe in which the upper is secured to the sole or bottom in such a manner as to provide a shoe of great strength adapted to keep its shape and which is comfortable to the foot.

Another object is to provide a shoe in which the seam securing the upper to the sole or bottom is arranged in such a manner as to-be covered in order to present a neat appearance and a smooth inner foot-supporting surface.

Another object is to provide a shoe in which the upper is secured to the sole or bottom at the iorepart and heel in such a manner as to secure maximum strength'while maintaining a neat appearance.

Another object is ing shoes which wi to provide methods of makll accomplish the above objects so as to cheapen the manufacture and permit ready repair thereof.

Further objects will appear from the detail description taken in connection with the accom-4 panying drawing, in which:

Generally stated and in accordance with this invention, the shoe comprises an insole which has a heel portion of reduced width providing a marginal recess along the heel and which has a marginal extension of reduced thickness along the repart providing a shoulder therealong. An 'pper is lasted and seamed against this shoulder along the forepart, while the heel part osition assumed after the Ill., assignor, by mesne e Stitch Welt Shoe Corl 920, Serial No. 396,607

of the upper is lasted inwardly into and co-extensive with the marginal recess and secured in such lasted position; an outsole is also secured to this insole In this specification and the claims the term forepart is used in the sense of including the shank, as well as the ball and toe of the sole, that is the entire position forwardly of the heel breast. In accordance with an embodiment of this invention a welt is laid along the marginal extension along the forepart and the outsole is seamed to the welt and the marginal extension; this welt may either connecting the upper, with the insole prefer- The inseam and the welt if employed, ably lies within a channel in the outside face of the insole so that the inseam will lie within the 80 insole in order to leave the outside face of the" insole flat, and the outsole lies against this at face of the insole. While the heel portion of reduced width provides a marginal recess along the heel into which the upper is lasted at the heel seat, the outsole may also be marginally reduced at' the heel so as to provide a similar marginal recess along the heel into which the upper may be lasted and secured in lasted position. A lift is generally provided at the heel connecting with the ends of the marginal extension on the insole; Where a welt is employed this lift also connects with the ends of the welt, and where the outsole lift also connects with Xtension on the outsole. rts to be connected may may run into this lift so Both the lift and the pa be beveled and the seam as toform a neat joint. v

Referring to Figure 1, 1 designates an insole which is slit or channeled at its edge to provide lip 2 and a marginal extension or to provide a shoulder 4 at the junctions of t-he lip and extension. This insole is also provided on its outside face with a channel 5 for receiving the inseam which lies within the insole so as to leave the outside face of the insole flat. rIhe upper 6 and the lining '7 are sethe shoulder 4 by a seam 8 passing through the upper and lining inwardly and downwardly through'the insole and in the channel 5. 110

The outer edge or margin of the upper is turned out over the marginal extension along the entire forepart as shown at 9 and on this out-turned edge may be placed a welt l0. The outsole 1l Yis secured to the shoe by a seam V12 passing through the welt, upper, marginal extension and outsole.

In practice the upper (including the lining) is laste-:l over the insole in any suitable manner and secured against the shoulderY 4 by the inseam 8, the channel lip being turned at this time as is usual in theapplication of inseams. This channels then cemented. down and the marginal edge of the upper is turned over the marginal extension and cemented down, the lining being trimmed shorter than the out-turned part of the upper. The outsole is later applied to the insole and secured by the seam 12 at the same time that the welt is applied which may be accomplished byY any suitable machine. It will be noted that the upstanding lip 2 is beveled so as to lie against the lining and in fact really merges therewith.

In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the upstanding lip 2 is omitted and the shoulder 4 is undercut so as to provide a marginal groove extending around the sole. A welt l0, in this case, is secured at its upper edge by the inseam 8 which also secures the upper and the lining to thev insole,.the outer edge of the welt being turned up during such inseaming operation 'as shown in dotted lines,Y Figure 2. `The welt is later turned over the marginal extension 3 Yand secured with the latter to the outsole by the seam l2.

It will, therefore, be seen that in the embodiments Figures l and Y2, there are provided strong seams between the upper and insole, while the insole'itself as well as the upper and lining are partly attached thereto or securelyffastened by the outseam to the outsole. 'f This avoids the objectionable Yspace between the outsole and insole usually present in welt shoes and, therefore,.pro vides a shoe which will keep its shape. side of the shoe is entirely smooth and free from all seams whatsoever thereby having the advantage of the welt shoe as to smooth interior and shapeliness and of the McKay shoe as to strength of seam.

Referring to Figures 5 and 8 which show the heel seat construction, while as previously describedY the upper along the forepart is secured against an outside shoulder along the marginal extension, and, as shown in Figure 1, with the upper turned outwardly; and, as shown in Figure 2, with the welt lying along the marginal extension; at the heel part thefupper, including its lining and the counter, where employed, are lastedinwardly into and co-extensive with the marginal recess at the heel. As particularly shown in Figures 3 and 4, theheel portion 50.of reduced Width, and providing a marginal recess 34 therealong and shoulders 35 at the breast, has the lining and also the counter 38, where employed, lasted inwardly ,and secured in lasted position as by tacks 39. Where the outsole is also marginally reduced at the heel part so as to provide shoulders 36, similar to the shoulders 35 on the insole, the upper 6 may be lasted inwardly .over the marginally reduced part 51 and secured by tacks 40. A lift 41 may then be placed over the heel seat and secured by tacks 42. The lift is beveled, as shown at 37, with a corresponding bevel or bevels on the Welt, upper, insole and outsole at the shoulders 35 and 36 and the seam l2 connecting the layers of material along the forepart is extended into the lift at 43. It will be The inunderstood, oi course, that the parts 50 and 51 may be reduced in thickness. The heel is shown at 44. i

Figure 8 is sectional view illustrating the layers of material in a distinctive manner and with the thicknesses of the layers substantiai in order to show their relation. In the position shown in this iigure, the parts have already been subjected to the usual pounding operation famililiar to those in the art, by which the various layers are caused to conform to one another.

The procedure in making the shoe may be performed by the usual machinery asgnow employed in shoe factories. Y,In the specific shoe shown the procedure may be as followsz-The upper and lining are cut and stitched as usual and the soles died out in any suitable manner. The insole Yis slitor channeled and the lip 2, where employed,

turned up, while the reduced ends of the sole then placed on the last and theupper (including the lining where employed) is lasted against the shoulder 4 along the forepart and seamed to the insole and against the shoulder. Where a welt is employed as in Figure 2, it is seamed to the sole during'the inseamingpperation and the upper and lining are turned as shown. The lining and counter are lasted over the heel seat and secured as shown in Figures 3. and 4.77The outsole is laid and where the upper is lasted over a marginally reduced part of the outsole it can besecured as shown in Figures 5 and 8. The lift can now be placed over Y the heel seat and fitted to joinL the ends of the out-turned upper, the shoulders 35 on the insole and even the shoulder 36 on the outsole. The out'sole can now be seamed to the insole; where the welt is as shown in Figure l, the welt is secured by the seam 12 as shown; where thewelt is as in Figure 2, it is turned down on the marginal extension and secured by the seam 12; in both Ycases the ends of the welt are fitted to the lift and the seam is run for short distances into the lift. The heel can now be applied in any suitable manner.

It will, therefore, be seen that this invention accomplishes its objects. With the sole or soles formed as described, with the upper lasted along the fore-.part and at the heel part as described, a shoe is produced which will not only'be neatY in appearance and strong, but in which the insole and outsole may be arranged so as to lie together while the inside of the shoe is left smooth and free of stitches or fastenings except at the heel part. The construction at the breast is particularly strong, as well as neat in that it not only avoids any objectionable hump or interruption, but also securely connects the parts so as -to form an integral structure having a neat appearance. The shoe may be readily resoled since the outsole may be readily removed and replaced for the reason that the upper isV not only connected tothe insole but the connection at the heel seat can be so remade, if a complete soleis placed in position, as to again secure the advantageous construction.

Although a number of embodiments of this invention have been shown and described, it will be understood that this invention is susceptible of other embodiments and that-various subcom binations and features are of individual utility without reference to other sub-combinations, combinations and features; it is, therefore, to be understood that such sub-combinations and features within the scope of the appended claims are contemplated.
