4 claims. (ci. ses-'7.3)
This invention relates to footwear, and especially to footwear of the fur-trimmed galosh or overshoe type.
Such footwear has been constructed heretofore by attachment of the fur trimming strip to the inner face of the upper, but this has had the objection that the ridge of fur. at the inner face K of the upper rubs against the stocking of the wearer, soiling the latter and wearing the fur. lo In some cases the fur trimming strip has been attached only at the outer face of the upper but here the edge of the upper has been objectionably exposed. Also the edge of the upper has not been adequately stiff so that unsightly gaping l5 of the margins of the shoe opening has occurred when the shoe has been unlaced, either on or off the foot.
Also, in these prior expedients, the fur strip has been attached at its margin fur side to the i 20 upper and then folded over to expose the fur with the result that an appreciable unexposed Width of the strip margin has been wasted so far as appearance is concerned.
The chief objects of the present invention are 25 to provide a trimmed article of footwear 'in which a ridge of the` trimming strip is avoided which might rub objectionably against the 'stocking of the wearer, in which the margin of the upper is adequately stiifened for maintaining an attractive form when the shoe is unlaced, and in which security of attachmentY is provided with economy of materials and convenience of procedure.
'I'hese and further objects will be apparent from the following description, reference being had to the accompanying drawing in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective View of a fur-trimmed shoe of the galosh type constructed according to and embodying the invention in its preferred form.
40 Fig. 2 is a section of the margin of the upper showing a fur strip attached thereto in accordance with the invention.
Fig. 3.is a similar section showing the pref ferred complete attachment of the fur strip to 45 the upper, the section being taken along the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
Figs. 4 and 5 are views like Figs. 2 and 3, respectively, but showinga modified construction. The shoe illustrated in Figs. 1 to 3 comprises 50 an upper I0, preferably of two-ply ysheet material, including an inner facing II of rubberized fabric adhered to an outer facing I2 which may be of any suitable material such as velvet, suede cloth or the like. The shoe preferably is slit at 55 its front. and for closing it and securing the shoe upon the foot, eyelets I9, I9, may be provided for suitable lacing.
A fur strip I5 is provided, preferably with a binding strip I3, of fabric or other suitable material, secured about the edge of the strip I5 as 5 by stitching I4. The fur strip is secured in'suhstantially edge-on relation to the edge of the upper preferably by an overcast stitch I'l passing through the fur strip, the binding strip I3 and two plies of the upper IIJ. The fur strip is then brought outward and downward to present 'its fur side out at the upper margin of the upper, and preferably the strip is secured at the outer face of the upper by a stitching I8 passing through the strip and upper. f
This construction has the important advantage that the fur strip is securely attached to the margin of the upper with economy of material, there being no waste-producing lapping of the fur strip for the attachment, and no ridge of the fur is produced at the inner face of the upper such as might rub objectionably against the stocking of the wearer. Also the margin of the upper is well sti'ened-so that even when it is unlaced its sides tend to close together attractively.as.shown at 20 in Fig. 1.
In the embodiment of Figs. 4 and 5 a binding strip 13a provided about the edge of the upper IU, instead of the fur strip, and this binding strip is secured to the upper by stitching I 4a. Overcast 30 stitching' I'Ia secures the fur strip in edge-on relation to the upper, as shown.
In some cases it m'ay be desired to provide two. binding strips, one for the fur strip as in Figs. 1 to 3 and one for the upper as in Figs. 4 and 5, 35 the fur part and the upper being secured in edgeon relation as by an overcast stitching passing through both binding strips, the fur strip andupper.
While fur is the preferred material for the' dec- 40 orative strip, other material, such for example as plush fabric, velvet or leather, may be used if desired. The invention is advantageous especially with fur, however, because of the thickness of this material and the desirability of preventing undesirable rubbingv of it against the stocking of the wearer.
Variations may be made without departing from the scope of the invention as it is dened in the following claims.
I claim:
l. An article of footwear comprising an upper,
a fur strip having a binding strip at an edge thereof, lthe fur strip being secured in substan- -tially edge-on relation of its bound edge to .the
. the fur strip being stitched at its other margin` the fur strip, the binding strip and upper, and
to the outer face o1'l the upper so that the furestrip is held bent over from the edge of the upper and to the outer face thereof, and, whereas the edge of the upper is concealed by the fur, substantiaily no ridge of' fur ispresented to rub against the stocking of the wearer.
2. An-article of footwear comprising an upper, a'binding strip at the margin of the uppe and a fur strip stitched in substantially edge-on relation to theedge of the upper, the stitches passing through said binding strip and upper, and the fur strip being bent over at the outer face of the upper froml the edge thereof, so that, whereas the edge of the upper is concealed by the fur, substantially no-"ridge of fur is presented to rub against the stocking of the wearer.
3. An article of footwear comprising an upper; a binding strip 'disposed about the edge or the upper, and a fur strip attached in substantially edge-on relation tothe edge of the upper with the binding strip intervening, the stitches passing through the fur strip, the binding strip and the upper, and the fur strip being stitched at its other margin to the outer face of the upper and being thereby held bent down from the edge of .the upper to the outer face thereof, so that,
whereas the edge of the upper is concealed by the fur, substantially no ridge of fur is presented to rub against the stocking of the wearer.
4. An article of footwear comprising an upper,
a fur strip seemed in substantially edge-on relation to the edge of the upper and bent over at the outer face ofthe upper'so that the fur at ,the edge of the upper extends substantially upright and conceals the edge of the upper and substantially'
