RUBBER BOOT OR SHOE.
SPECIFICATION forming part ot' Letters Patent No. 294,173, dated February 26, 1884.
- Application filed June :24, 1882. (No model.)
To L'ZZ wwnt t may concern:
Be it known that I, Isaac F. VILLIAMs, of Bristol, in the county of Bristol and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Rubber Boots and Shoes; and I do hereby declare that the following specification, taken in connection with .the drawings furnished and forming a part viz., either with the inner or face surface of said fabrics in its natural fibrous condition, or coated with gum compound and vulcanized. The brous or natural surfaced lining is desirable, because of its warmth and its comfortable effect when worn without stockings; but such linings have been deemed objectionable b v many, onv account of continued absorption of perspiration, and their liability of becoming offensive, and because of the difficulties eX- perienced in drying out the interior should the boot or shoe get filled with water from over its top, as is sometimes the case. The rubber-surtcedlining is also deemeddesirable, because it obviates the absorption of perspiration, and enablesthe boot `or shoe to be readily cleansed and dried out when wet; but such linings are obviously deficient in that warmth and general comfort to the wearer which are incident to the fibrous-surfaced lining. Rubber boots have also been lined at the rear portions thereof with rubber-surfaced lining and at their front portions with fibroussurfaced lining, thus employing in one boot both kinds of lining.
The object of my invention is to provide a lining which has substantially all o`f the advantages incident to the fibrous-surfaced lining, as well as such as are incident to the rubber-surfaced lining, andin doing this to reduce the disadvantages incident to each, as far as is believed to be possible, with a merging of these separate desirable characteristics. I attain this end by lining rubber boots and in that said fabric has an inner face which is l partially in its normal fibrous condition and partially rubber-surfaced.
To more particularly describe my invention, I will refer to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical section of a rubber boot embodying my invention. Figs. 2 and 3 are respectively yfront and sectional views of a piece of one variety of my novel'lining.
The sheeted fabric used by me may be woven, knit, or feltcd, it being immaterial in what manner the textile or felting ber is worked for producing the same; nor is it material in what manner the rubber or compounds thereof are applied to said sheeted fabric, provided that when the boot or shoe is :finished said lining fabric has a complex surface, partially in its naturalor fibrous condition and partially rubber-coated; but the rubber-surfaced portions should alternate with the fibroussurfaced portions, and it is desirable that they should substantially correspond in area.
In the drawings I have selected for illustration one of the simplest varieties of my complex -surfaced lining, in which textile fiber is worked into what is well known as ribbed sto'ckinet,77 its rear surface, a, being fiat or smooth and its front surface ribbed, as at b, with intervening recessed spaces, c. The rubber compound is applied to the rear surface by the well-known process of machining,77 in such quantities and with such `press- Vure as causes said compound to thoroughly coat the rear surface,and to .be forced through the front surface at the spaces c without permeating the raised ribs b, so that when such coated fabric as a lining is combined, as usual, with the other portions of the boot or shoe and vulcanized, the raised portions of the inner face of the liningwill be in their normal or fibrous condition and the intermediate spaces will be occupied by rubber smoothly surfaced.
A rubber boot or shoe thus lined has an interior fibrous surface for contact with the stocking or foot, and it thereforeis warm and comfortable to the wearer, and the rubber surface alternating with the fibrous surface prevents the undue absorption of perspiration and enables the fibrous ribs to readily dry Instead of the ribbed stockinet, it is obvif ous that a woven or felted fabric may be eniployed, it being* only requisite that the front surface tl1ereof,\vliich is to be the lining surface of the boot, is provided with the rubberycoated surfaces, alternating` with the brous surfaces, and this can' readily be accomplished in various ways; and, if desired, the
Y surface of the rubber coating may be raised above the fibrous surface; or said rubber surface may be flush with the intervening natural surfaceo'f the fabric, instead of. having said natural surfaces raised, as shown, although'I prefer the latter arrangement, whether said .natural surfaces be in the form of straight and parallel ribs or of figures in various designs. When parallel ribbed fabrics are employed, and the ribs thereof are arranged lengthwise with boot-legs and with the feet 'of boots or shoes, it enables them to be readily put on @sans and taken o'f'f, and if said ribs project considerably beyond the rubber surfaces they contribute to more orA less ventilation of the boot or shoe while worn. I am. aware, however, that it is not new to employ a ribbed having on its inner face fibrous surfaces, and
intervening rubber-coated surfaces, substantially as described.
2. In a rubber boot 0r shoe', a fibrouslining having upon its inner face parallelraised ribs, and intermediate surfaces of rubber, substantially as described.
