UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICEe WILLIAM R. MILLER, OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.
RUBBER BOOT AND SHOE.
` SPECIFICATION forming parli, of Letters Patent No. 227,811, dated May 18, 1880.
4 Application filed Januaryi 15, 1880.
`To all whom it may concern p to the extensible or stretching properties of to be protected from moisture. view I make the rubber-shoe upper, or a porthe material from which it is manufactured, and also to improve the ventilatin g features of the shoe by reducing the surface of the same in contact with theleather boot or shoe sought With this tion of the same which is practically of a common thickness, much fuller than is necessary to effect a good tit, and take up the superfluous length or fullness by crimping or corrugating the upper longitudinally of the shoe, beginning at the edge thereof and extending toward the sole.
By this construction the rubber shoe can be stretched entirely out of its propershape and enlarged sufficiently to allow of the insertion of the leather boot without difficulty or danger of tearing the material. It also admits of the shoe assuming its original form on the leather boot, when the crimps or corrugations then serve as channels for Ventilating purposes. I
In the further description of my said invention which follows, reference is madeto the ,accompanyin g drawings, forming a part hereof, and in which- Figure I is a perspective view of the improved rubber shoe, and Fig. 1I a cross-sec tion of the same. Fig. III is also a cross-section of the shoe, showing a modied construction of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate similar parts in all the views..
In the said drawings, A is the upper of the rubber shoe, which is longitudinally crimped or corrugated from the termination of t-he upper at a toward the toe.
By this construction the porlion of the shoe *which in ordinary rubber shoes impedes the introduction of the leather boot thereto is easily stretched, as in the operation of drawing on the shoe the corrugations or crimps are taken'out and an extended smooth surface for the time presented. p
After the rubber shoe is fairly in'placeit assumes its original shape, and channels or grooves are again formed, which serve to Oventilate the shoe.
I am aware that it is not new to crimp or corrugate a rubber shoe transversely, and also that rubber shoes have been corrugated longitudinally by means of extra thicknesses of rubber secured to the shoe; but such constructions do not admit of the expansibility of the shoea result effected byY my invention, and such construction I therefore do not claim; but
I claim as my invention- A rubber shoe having its upper of a common thickness throughout and crimped or corrugated longitudinally from the edge of the opening for the foot toward the toe, whereby the upper, in the act of drawing the shoe over the leather boot, is stretched independently of the extensibility of the rubber of which it is formed, substantially as set forth.
