BOOT OR SHOE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 269,212, dated December 1 9, 1882. Application fnea octbr 20,1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN M. KINDREGAN, of Columbus, county of Franklin, State of Ohio, have invented an Improvement in Boots or Shoes, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like letters on the drawings representing like parts.
My invention relates to that class ot' boots or shoes in which the upper, about the fore part in front of the shank, is turned outwardly and stitched down, and has for its object to make that class of boots or shoes stronger and neater in appearance. Heretofore in such class of boots and shoes the outwardlyturned edges of the upper have been fastened by two parallel rows of stitches, one of which was made only through the inner sole and the other through both the inner sole and outer sole; but in a boot or shoe of that construction most of the strain of the foot on the upper comes on the inner seam or that through the upper and inner sole, and in practice said inner seam rips before the outer seam. I have discovered that the inner seam in a shoe of this class, lthe seam which outlines the shape of the shoe and holdsthe upper to the inner sole next the foot, will hold better and will not rip as heretofore, provided itis made close to the edge of the inner sole, and that the upper be stitched to the outer sole only immediately beyond the edge of the inner sole, the two parallel seams being closetogether, and so that the upper, held by the second or outer seam close to the edge of the inner sole, acts to hold and draw the edge of the inner sole down closely upon the outer sole. By making the second or outer row of stitches through only rthe upper and outer sole close to the edge of the inner sole, and the inner row of stitches uniting it and the inner sole, the stitches of the outer row are placed at a lower level than those ofthe inner row, and the up` per held in such position, when subjected to the strain ofthe foot, is enabled to pull equally upon both rows of stitches rather than upon one row, as when both rows of stitches enter the inner sole.
Figure l represents in side elevation a shoe containing my invention, and Fig. 2 a crosssection thereof.
Tile upper a, f any usual shape or material, has its edges turned outwardly about the fore part in front of the shank of the shoe, and about the fore part is united first to the inner sole, b, by a row ot' stitches, d, after which the inner sole, at its edge, is cut away close to the said row of stitches, leaving only sufficient substance in the inner sole to retain the said stitches. After this the edge of the upper is forced downand bent closely about the edge ot' the inner sole and held against the outer sole, c, close to the edge of the inner sole. The said upper is stitched only to the outer sole, but as closely as possible to the edge of the inner sole, b, by the outer row of stitches, e. thus locating the outer row of stitches at a lower level than those of the inner row, d, enabling the upper when subjected to strain to draw or pull diagonally and evenly upon both rows of stitches, adding greatly to the strength and durability of the shoe, as the upper, subjected to suoli strain and pull on both rows of stitches equally', will not cause the stitches of the inner row to break or rip, and the upper is also made to bind and hold down the edge of the inner sole. The upper, from the shank of the sole backward, is shown as having its edges turned in between the outer and inner soles and fastened by screws or nails.
I do not broadly claiin a shoe or boot having au outwardlytnrned upper and held by two rows of stitches. i
I claim- As an improved article of manufacture, a'
boot or shoe in which the outwardly-turned edge ofthe upper is stitolied to the upper side of the inner sole close to its edge, and then stitched only to the outer sole outside and close to the edge of the inner sole, and the Iow of stitches uniting the upper. and inner sole, thus placing the outer row of stitches lower than the inner row, and enabling the upper to bind and keep down the edge of the inner sole, all as shown and described.
In testimony whereofI have signed my name this; specication in the presence ot' two subscribin g witnesses.
JOHN M. KINDREGAN.
