' Attorneys i Patented Jan. 16, 19 45 95 v? ENT OFFICE SHOE TAP BLANK Edward E. Cohen, Boston, Mass. 7 Application July 12, 1944, Serial No. 544,500 2 Claims. (01. 36-25) The present invention relates to the art of making cut soles for shoes, and it has particular reference to an economical blank from which unfinished taps may be cut for finished soles or half-soles in a convenient and expeditious manner by the cobbler.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a shoe tap blank which is so marked as to enable a cobbler to readily cut therefrom unfinished pairs of taps for half-soles of different sizes, unfinished taps for right or left whole soles, and unfinished taps for small top lifts such as are commonly employed on high heels of womens shoe heels.
The exact nature of the present invention will become apparent from the following description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawing, and the invention consists in the novel shoe tap blank hereinafter more fully described, shown in the drawing and claimed.
In the drawing, wherein like reference characters indicate corresponding parts in both of the views:
Figure 1 is a plan view of a shoe tap blank embodying the present invention, looking at one face of the blank.
Figure 2 is a similar view looking at the other face of the blank.
Referring in detail to the drawing, the present shoe tap blank consists of an elongated strip of leather 5 having straight parallel ends 6 and reversely curved parallel side or longitudinal edges 1.
On one face, the blank is marked with outlines 8 and 8a of unfinished taps from which may be cut right and left full soles for a given type of a pair of shoes.
, On the reverse surface of the blank, there are marked the outlines 9 and. 9a for the unfinished taps of a pair of half-soles of small size, the outlines l0 and Illa of the unfinished taps for a pair of half-soles of medium size, and the outlines I l and Ila for the unfinished taps of two half-soles'of large size. Also, on this face of the blank, there are marked the outlines l2 of a smaller size tap only can be cut for the left foot,
vide the right and left half-sole taps for a pair of shoes. However, when a larger size unfinished tap for a right foot is cut from the blank, the
and vice versa. Thus, when a large size tap for a left shoe is cut from one blank and a small size tap fora right shoe is cut from the same blank, they may be paired by cutting another similar blank so as to produce a tap of larger size for aright shoe and a tap of smaller size for a left shoe.
The. outlines for the unfinished taps of halfsoles are so provided on one face of the blank that the toe portions of the taps are adjacent, thereby leaving pieces at opposite sides of the toe portions of the taps which, instead of being wasted, may be utilized for cutting the top heel lifts of small size for womens'high shoe heels, in case the unfinished taps for half-soles which are cut from the blank are of the smaller size. In actual practice, an elongated strip of leather may be provided with a plurality of adjacent shoe tap blanks of the kind illustrated and described, the reversely curved sides of one blank joining the reversely curved adjacent side of the next adjacent blank. As required for use, the blanks may be individually cut from the multiple blank strip along a reversely curved side that constitutes the junction between each blank and'the next adjacent blank.
It will be apparent from the above that the present invention provides a shoe tap blank from which a cobbler may readily selectively cut unfinished taps for full soles or for half-soles of difierent sizes, the taps being for pairs of different sizes or taps of larger and smaller sizes for half-soles as required.
From the foregoing description, it is believed pair of unfinished taps for top lifts of, small womens heels of the high type that may be cut from the tap blank from the waste portions of that the nature and advantages of the present invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.
What I claim as new is:
1. A shoe tap blank comprising an elongated strip of leather having straight parallel ends and parallel reversely curved longitudinal edges, said strip having delineated on one face thereof the outlines of unfinished taps for left and right whole soles extending substantially from end to end of the strip, said strip having delineated on the other face thereof the outlines for pairs of unfinished taps for half-soles of intermediate, smaller and larger pairs of half-soles so arranged that a pair of taps for'half-soles of the.intermediate and smaller sizes may be simultaneously out from the strip and so that a tap for either of on the other face thereof the outlines for pairs of unfinished taps for half-soles of intermediate, smaller and larger pairs of half-soles so arranged that a pair of taps for half-soles of the intermediate and smaller sizes may be simultanously cut from the strip and so that a tap for either of a pair of shoes of larger size may be cut from the blank while permitting the cutting of a tap for the other of the pair of shoes of smaller size to be simultaneously cut from the blank, the
second-named face of the blank being also provided with the delineated outlines of taps for top lifts that may be out from the intermediate portions of the strip when taps for vhalf-soles of smaller sizes are cut therefrom.
EDWARD E. COHEN.
