HUGH WHITE, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
SHOE-TIP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 228,500, dated June 8, 1880.
Application filed March 30, 1880. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern Beit known that I, HUGH WHITE, of the city of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shoe Tips, ot' which the following is a specification.
A frequent and annoying' defect in the leather tips now in vogue is the ripping of the seam which unites them to the vamp. This is due almost wholly to the wearing away of the thread.
To obviate this evil has been the object of the present invention, which consists in a novel inode of attaching the tip to the vamp, as hereinafter fully explained.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective ot' a shoe embodying the invention. Fig. 2 is a section through the toe upon the line .r .r of Fig. l, and Fig. 3 is a like section through the tip detached. In the drawings, A represents the tip, which, in respects other than those herein specified, may be like the ordinary leather tips now in common use, and B is the vamp. No change is made in the latter, and it may extend either to the end of the shoe or stop at the seam.
The tip is cnt between the dat surfaces so as to divide it along the line of the seam into two lesser thicknesses, c d. One or more lines of stitching are passed through the lower of these thicknesses d and the vamp, and preferably enough stitching' is employed at this point to unite the parts with all requisite firinness, even if the upper thickness, c, be not stitched at all. After the lower thickness is thus secured the upper one is also stitched to the vamp, as shown at Fig. 2, thus completely covering the thread lof the lower stitchings and protecting it from wear. Instead, however, of stitching the upper ledge it may be secured by cement or paste, as is obvious.
Another feature ot' the invention is the shortening of the under thickness, so that the upper one laps over and is stitched outside of it, thereby producing in the outer surface ot' the tip a shoulder, e, immediately adjacent to the line ot` sewing, whereby the overlapping` edge is fastened. This shoulder being a raised surface receives much ofthe wear which would otherwise be exerted upon the thread. This feature may or may not be employed with the other and previously-described construction, as desired.
Shoes constructed after this invention will greatly ontlast those now in use.
I claimp l. A shoe provided with a tip of leather severed into two thicknesses along its line of union with the Vamp, the under thickness being stitched independently to the vamp, and the upper thickness being secured so as to cover the stitching in the under one, substantially as specified.
2. A shoe provided with a tip separated Ainto two thicknesses along the line of stitching, whereby it is secured to the vamp, the upper thickness lapping over and being stitched outside the under thickness, whereby a shoulder, e, is formed adjacent to and protecting the sewing, substantially as specified.
HUGH WHITE.
