Application June 9, 1950, Serial No. 167,149
1 Claim.
This invention relates to new and useful improvement in inner soles for shoes.
The object of the invention is to provide a simple, durable, cheap, washable inner sole which can be readily inserted into and removed from a shoe and which is sufficiently repellent to moisture so that the feet of the wearer will not be wetted even though the wearer has to walk on wet pavements.
A further object is to provide a simple and efficient construction whereby the sole may be easily and effectively inserted into the shoe and held securely in place and yet may be readily drawn out to dry, or entirely removed to wash when desired.
Further and more specific objects, features and advantages will more clearly appear from a consideration of the detailed specification hereinafter set forth, especially when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which illustrate a present preferred form which the invention may assume and which forms part of the specification.
In brief and general terms, the invention comprises an inner sole element, preferably made of a mesh type knitted or woven fabric having water-repellent characteristics which permits the air to circulate freely within the shoe to dry the leather inner sole beneath the mesh fabric. The inner sole is provided with bound edges and, preferably treated in any well known manner to stiffen it. This material is naturally of a nature to resist the passage of moisture through it and therefore, when placed in the shoe, acts as an effective barrier between the sole of the shoe and foot of the wearer to moisture which may have passed through the sole from Walking on wet pavements.
In order to easily and quickly secure this sole in the shoe, there is provided a strip of cloth or other material with adhesive on both sides which is attached to the inner sole near the rear end thereof. One face of the strip is therefore adhered to the inner sole and the other face adheres to the leather inner sole of the shoe to hold the auxiliary added inner sole in place.
Preferably, the improved inner sole is marketed with the adhesive strip adhered to the rear end and the exposed surface covered with paper to protect it until the sole is to be inserted into the shoe, when the paper protective covering may be removed.
The preferred form which the invention may assume is shown in the draw g of whic Fig. 1 is a bottom plan view of the improved sole with the adhesive strip attached;
Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof;
Fig. 3 is a detail enlarged section of a rear portion of a shoe showing the improved sole in place; and,
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the adhesive strip unit as it is made and presented before it is attached to the inner sole.
Referring now merely to the specific form in which the invention is herein illustrated, it will be seen that I have provided an inner sole H] (see Fig. 1) made preferably of a mesh type fabric having water-repellent characteristics with the outer periphery H (see Fig. 1) bound in any desired manner. This material also is preferably treated in any suitable manner to stiffen it. The material of the above nature, of which Nylon cloth is an example, has a, natural resistance to the passage of moisture through it, and therefore, when used as an inner sole will successfully resist the passage of moisture to the foot of the wearer which may have seeped through the leather sole of the shoe when the wearer has had to walk on wet ground. This construction will permit powder readily to be inserted in the shoe below the inner sole when desired. Nylon is to be defined herein as a thermoplastic long chain super polyamide having the general structural formula where a: and y are integers of 1 or greater.
The inner sole is of course shaped in many forms to conform to whatever type or size of shoe it is to be associated with. In order to permit it to be easily and practically disposed and maintained in proper position within the shoe, I provide a strip l2 (see Fig. 3) of material to be applied to the heel portion of the inner sole and, although smaller, of somewhat the same general shape. This strip is provided with double faced adhesive coatings so that one face may be adhered to the inner sole, and the other may be adhered to the heel portion of the shoe. This strip of course is applied to the heel portion of the inner sole on the lower face thereof as shown.
Commercially, this strip portion may be separately made and sold with the inner sole and when so presented, it has its double faces covered with suitable protective material such as paper i l (see Fig. 4), or other suitable substances, to cover the adhesive until the strip is to be put into use. Sometimes, the inner soles may be sold with the strip attached to the underheel portion thereof in which case its lower face may still have the protective cover 14 thereon until the sole is to be inserted into a shoe when the protective covering may be removed to expose the adhesive coating to be adhered to the leather heel portion within the shoe.
It will be noted in Figs. 1 and 4 that the protective covering for the bottom side of the strip I2 is formed of two separate portions 14' and I4 which separately adhere to the lower layer 13 of adhesive. This particular construction will permit the heel portion with the strip as shown in Fig. 1 to be gripped in the handuand. bent around the dividing line between the strips so that the finger may be more readily insertedto turn up the edge of each section as, shown in Fig. 4 to facilitate the removal ofthe upper cover sections when the inner sole is to be inserteddn the shoe.
It is obvious .that this device is extremely simple and effective,practical anduseful, and that it may be made easily and economically by modern mass production methods at a very low .cost. At the end of a day, the forward portion of the inner sole may be pulled out of the shoe to dry without totally disconnecting the rear portion. But if it is desired to wash the inner sole, the entire body of it may be removed. When this is done, it will be found that the strip portion. l2 will remain in the shoe since it will stick more firmly to the heel portion of the shoe than it will to the lower face of the inner .sole. This feature will permit the inner .sole to be removed and washed and then quickly and easily reinserted into the shoe so that its heel portion will again be adhesively .pressedagainst the upper face of the strip 12.
Therefore, the. invention presents a simple, cheap, effective device which has been proved in practice to permit a person to walk along wet pavements without getting his feet wet. due to the resistance to moisture passage of the cloth.
While the invention has beendescribed in detail, and shown with respect to the accompanying drawing, it is not tobe limited to such de- '4 tails, since many changes and modifications may be made in the invention without departing from the spirit and scope thereof. Hence, it is desired to cover any and all forms and modifications of the invention which may come within the language and scope of the appended claim.
I claim:
An inner sole adapted for insertion in shoes and formed of stiffened moisture resistant cloth having bound edges, a strip of material adhesively attached to the heel portion of the sole on its lower face, the lower surface of the strip having an adhesive coating and being covered .by., a removable layer of protective paper material formed in two spaced sections with a dividing line therebetween extending longitudinally of the inner sole, said lower surface of the strip of material adapted to attach itself to the inner heel portion of a shoe, and said inner sole adapted to be detached from said strip of material for washing purposes.
