VlANUFACT-URE OF TURNED SHOES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 291,810, dated January 8, 1864.
Application filed August 1, 1883. (No model.)
To @ZZ whom it may concern:
Be itknown that I, ANDREW J. TEwKsBURY, of Haverhill, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Boots; 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.
My invention relates to an improvement in boots, and more particularly to that class thereof which are known to 'the trade as turned boots, from the fact that their uppers are applied to the last inside out, and then turned after being sewed to the sole.
The object of the invention is to provide this class of boots with a steel spring-shank, thus insuring the proper arch to the instep, and preserving the shape of the shoe until worn out.
lVlith this obj ect in view, myinvention consists in a turned boot provided with such a shank, and in the means by which the same is secured in place.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a View in vertical longitudinal section of a boot embodying my invention, and Fig. 2 is a view in vertical transverse section thereof on the line .r m.
In the fabrication of turned boots the uppers A are .applied to the lasts inside out, and sewed by hand or by machine to the outer sole, B. This being completed, the parts are turned so as to expose their dressed or outer faces. After the parts are turned the inner sole, C, is secured in position. This sole Gis provided previous to its attachment to the outer sole, B, with the steel spring-shank G, which latter is secured at one or both ends to the lower face of the inner sole, C, and the latter is secured to the outer sole by the tacks D, driven through the rear ends of the inner and outer soles and the tacks or rivets E, located near the center of the instep. These tacks D can be driven from the inside of the shoe, as shown in the drawings, or they can be applied to the outer surface of the sole B before the heelv is secured thereto. In this latter instance the heads of the tacks would be completely protected and covered by the heel. The front end of the inner sole can, if desired,
be secured to the lower or outer sole by paste after the inner sole withits attached spring G is placed in position within the shoe. The tacks or rivets E are driven from the under face of the outer sole, B, and the ends thereof turned down upon the-upper face of the inner sole, C, as shown, their heads F, which may or maynot be ornamental, being sunk in flush with the outer surface of the outer sole. They fulfill the twofold use of securing the two soles together and of preventing the lateral displacement of the steel springshank G. This spring insures the proper arch to the instep and preserves the shape of the shoe until worn out.
I am aware that steel springs similar to those used by ine have been employed in cable-sewed boots and for a similar purpose.
I am also aware that the ends of the springs so employed have been attached to the insoles which, in cable-sewed boots, are stitched in with the insole, outer sole, and the uppers. I do not, therefore, broadly claim the use of springs for retainingthe shape of boots, but limit myself to their application in the manner shown and described to turned boots, including shoes and slippers made in the same manner.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isl 1. The method of securing steel shanks to turned boots, consisting, essentially, in first securing the shank at one or both ends to au inner sole, and then securing the inner sole to the boot, substantially in the manner described.
2. In a turned boot, the combination, with the outer sole and the insole thereof, of a spring-shank interposed between the two soles and having its ends attached to the insole, and nails located near the center of the instep and arranged to secure the two soles together, and to prevent the lateral displacement of the spring, substantially as set forth.
In testimonyT whereof I have signed this specification iu the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
ANDREW J. TEWKSBURY.
