SHOE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 241,121, dated May 10, 1881.
Application filed April 4, 1881.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, TIMOTHY A. (JoLLINs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Watertown, in the county of Jefferson and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shoes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification, and in which Figure 1 is a sectional view, showing my im provement applied to a shoe-upper. Fig. 2 is a detailed view, and Fig. 3 is a cross-section of the same.
This iny'ention appertains to an improvement in shoes, referring more particularly to the rear of the shoe, opposite the inwardly-curved portion of the ankle, its objectbeing to prevent the inward folding or wrinkling, and the consequent premature wearing out, of the leather, or the ripping ot the seam thereat, and to retain the symmetry of the shoe and it consists in applying along the seam, not between its edges, at said point, an elastic packing resting.
upon the seam, combined with a thinly-skived piece of material or leather fastened to the shoe and the packing, substantially as hereinafter more fully set forth.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, A indicates the upper of a shoe, made in the ordinary way, the quarters, as is usual, being seamed or sewedtogether at their rear edges. Bytheinward folding or wrinkling of the leather at this point it becomes prematurely Worn, the symmetry of the shoe is impaired, and the seam is liable to and does become ripped. To remedy these defects, I pack the quarters so as to fill up the concavity or space between the (No model.)
seam and the inwardly-curved portion of the ankle of the wearer completely. To this end I employ a piece of rubber or elastic material, B, suitably shaped, as shown in the drawings, and cement or sew it, as indicated at a, Fig. 2, to a strip of leather or suitable material, B, and then sew the leather to the quarters, one edge being fastened upon each side of the seam, so as to cause the elastic packing to rest against the seam, but not between its edges, thus effecting the aforesaid result of packing the concavity or space at this point. The strip B may extend the entire depth of the shoe.
The use of the rubber or elastic material is twofold, it serving pie-eminently not only as apaeking by which the inward foldingor wrinkling, and consequent premature wearing out, of the leather, the ripping of the seam, and the impairing of the symmetry of theshoe are overcome, but by its elasticity it accommodates the contour of and does not render uncomfortable the ankle. 'lheleatherstrip is purposely skived thinly, so as not to interfere with the elastic action of the rubber, its object being to secure the latter in position and intercept the drawing action the rubber would otherwise have upon the ankle.
Having thus fully described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination, with the quarters ofa shoe, of the elastic packing B, connected to the thinly-skived strip of leather or material B, and resting against the uniting seam of the quarters, and the strip B, fastened to the quarters upon the sides of the seam, substantially as shown and described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
TIMOTHY ABRAHAM COLLINS.
