soiaims. (Citt-'171i The present invention relates to shoes vand moreespecially to vchildrens shoes'. g
vIn` the conventional childrens' shoethe ller is fsewe'd or glued to the outer sole'and tothe heel-wedge so asr to be rigid with theseparts, and the inner sole is sewed or glued tothev ller so as to be rigid'with the filler and outer sole. Furthermore, in the conventional shoe the ller abuts 'against the AWeltall around theinside of the welt.`l It hasbeen found' that if'the inner sole gets' wet from perspiration orV from any other cause; v the leather" of the inner sole tends to stretch which causes 'it to'curl into the toe portion ofthe shoe. This curl assumes a permanent setvand thereafter the shoe isuncomfortable to the wearer and crowdshis orvher toes. It has alsoV been found that the conventional shoe, constructed with thefiller and inner sole rigidly secured 'tothe outer sole, is hard and rigid along its whole length, ,andlin'exible One objectof the'pr'esent invention is to providea childrens Vshoe which will be more comfortable vthan childrens shoes a's heretofore made, andwhich will remain comfortable vand flexible throughoutthe whole life of the shoe.
Another object of the invention is to provide a simple inexpensive last for manufacturing this shoe.' v
Other objects of the invention will be apparent hereinafter fromthe specication and from the recital of the appended claims.
In the drawing:
Fig; 1 is a fragmentary longitudinal section of a childs shoe built according to one Vembodiment of the present invention;v
Fig.` 2 is a fragmentary longitudinal section of this shoe'V with the inner sole and ller raised, showing how the inner sole and.k ller are'at-` tached'to theouter sole and showing the exibil-- ity provided in this way;
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary longitudinal sectionv showing how the shoe may be bent in walking without wrinkling the inner sole;
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary transverse section further showing the construction of the shoe;
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary longitudinal section yShowing the method of attaching the inner sole to the upper, and the last employed for that purpose; and
Fig. 6 is a fragmentary longitudinal section of this last'.
notes the inner sole which is made ofY a soft,
pliable leather.v I3 is the wedge which is inserted between the ller I'I and the outer vsole I!) at theV heel ofthe shoe in order to give the heel elevation.' This is ordinarily madev of leather.`v The I6 is the lining for the upperL is denoted at I5: upperr and I'I denotes theA counter for' the heel which is inserted'between thelinin'g I6 andthe heel portionof the upper` i5; ThisV lining is made of fabric. The counter lis' ordinarily made of leather. The welt is Adenoted at 18:
'In the shoe of this invention, the upper i3l is sewed to the welt I8 in conventional fashion, and the welt I8 is sewed-orotherwise fastened to the front end or the soie jloand toy the' rear of the wedgev I3.
Gne feature of the shoe of thepresent invention is that the ller II terminatess'hort of the inturned end I5 ofthe toe-portion of the upper I5 and short of the'insidesurface I8 of the toe portion ofthe welt I8 (Figs. l and 2'), when the shoe is at rest. From'the ball ofthe -foot to thel heel end of the shoe, the inner sole I2v and llerare Xe'dly secured to one another as by g-lueing themtogether. From the ball of thek foot to the heel of the shoe, the filler I I is also glued or otherwise secured to the outer' sole' I0 and Wedge I3. The inner sole I2 and filler II are sewed to one another at apoint under the ball ofthe foot, as Vdenoted by the stitching 2li, but lfrom the'ball of the foot to thetoe of the shoe, the inner sole vI2 and filler II arefunattached and free'of one As a result `of thisY construction the ller II and` inner sole I2 can flex about the point 20 as a fulcrum. This makes for a more comfortable shoe.
Fig. 2 is a view showing in exaggerated manner the way in which the inner sole, ller and outer sole are separated from one another from the ball of the foot to the toe. With this construction, when the shoe is bent in walking, as shown in Fig. 3, that is, when the user puts the weight of the foot on the toe portion of the shoe, the ller and inner sole t readily into the rest of the shoe without crowding. The inner sole I2 is beveled off at its toe end, as denoted at 2l, so that it will be of thinner section at this end and be able to fit into the toe of the shoe. When the inner sole becomes wet with perspiration and the leather stretches, then, the inner sole and filler will still fit the shoe Without curling and bulging. Hence, the shoe remains comfortable to the child throughout the whole of its life and does not crowd his or her toes.
For manufacturing the shoe, a special type last 25 (Figs. 5 and 6) may be employed. This last is shaped like a conventional last except that it is formed on its under surface at the toe with a protrusion 26 which has an upwardly inclined surface 27 to t the beveled portion 2i of the inner sole. In the manufacture of the shoe, the upper I5, lining I6, and counter I1 can be tted and stretched around the last after the ller Il has been sewed at 2li to the inner sole l2 and while the welt I8 isbeing sewed to the upper.
While the invention has been described in connection with a particular embodiment thereof, it will be understood that it is capable of further modication and this application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the invention, following, in general, the principles of the invention and including such departures from the present disclosure as come within known or customary practice in the art to which the invention pertains and as may be applied to the essential features hereinbefore set forth and as fall within the scope of the invention or the limits of the appended claims.
