' SANDAL Filed oct. 21, 1957 KIYO KH! MIYACH'I INVENTOR.
SANDAL Kiyoichi Miyachi, '408-1 Mikado-macht, Fukuyama, Hiroshima, Iapan The present invention relates to a sandal comprising a pair of side straps made of two strips cut from a sock liner and extending outwardly from each side of the sock liner at the rear end of the latter to be thereupon united into a front strap which is secured to the middle part of the adjoining outsole.
The invention will be described in greater detail with reference to the accompanying drawing in which Fig. 1 is a side elevational View of the sandal;
Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the sandal;
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section through the front strap and a transverse section through the sock liner, insole and outsole of the sandal; and Y Fig. 4 is an enlarged section through a sidestrap, and through portions of the sock liner, insole and outsole of the sandal.
Referring now in greater detail to the drawing, and tirst to Figs. =1 and 2, there is shown a` sandal whose sock liner 3 consists of an upper layer 1 made of a l plastic material, e.g. vinyl chloride or the like, cloth or rubber, and of a backing 2 made of rubber, cloth or other suitable material. Insole 4 and outsole 5 are made of'sponge rubber or another suitable material; they constitute a composite sole 6.
Two narrow strips 9 and 10 are integrally connected to the outer sides 7 and 8, respectively, adjacent to the rear end of the sock liner 3. After the sock liner 3 is cut, strips 9 and 10 are turned over, twisted and united so as to form a front strap 13. Thus, strips 9 and 10 Vconstitute a pair of side .straps extendingv betweenthe 4outer sides of sock liner 3 adjacent to the lattersrear end, and the front strap 13. A wrapping member 14,
made of the same material as the sock liner 3, is wound Y about the united portions'or fronttstrap 13 of strips 9 and 10, and is sewn thereto by a thread 15. As is shown in Fig. 3, the lower end portion of front strap 13 is in-v serted into a slit 16 formed in the sock liner3 adjacent to the latters `forward end, and the free ends :17, 18 of the strips 9, 10 are then bent away from-each other into the plane of insole 4 to be secured in an opening 19 provided in vthe `corresponding part of insole 4 be- `low the slit 16 by means of a suitable bonding agent,
e.g. gum arabic. In the manufactureV of my sandal, the front strap 13 is first inserted into the slit 16 whereupon the bonding agent is applied to the underside of 'ice sock liner 3, to the upper side of insole 4, to front ends 17, 18 of the strips 9, 10, and to the upper side of outsole 5 Abeneath the opening 19. By pressing the sock liner 3 to the insole 4, the bonding agent connects these two parts and simultaneously securely retains the front strap 13 in the opening 19 by connecting the ends 17, 18 of strips 9,10, respectively, to the upper side of outsole 5'.
An important feature of the sandal is in that the straps consist'of the same material as the sock liner and in that the front strap, surrounded by the wrapping material 14, is split at its lower end and secured to the outsole whereby any slackening and tearing of the straps is prevented. 'Ihe sandal is quite strong and comfortable, its appearance is pleasing to the eyeV and it may be made in any desired color. The iront strap cannot harm the inner sides of toes as it is surrounded by the wrapping material. If sponge rubber is employed as the material of outsole 5, the sandal becomes very light and absorbs water. lf rubber is also employed as the material of backing 2, the bond between the backing and the insole on the one hand, and between the backing and the ends of strips 9, 10 on the other hand, is improved; therefore, any separation of the insole from the sock liner is very unlikely. A plastic material may be employed in summer and a uty woolen cloth may be used in winter for Athe sock liner; accordingly, the sandal of my invention ispractical, of pleasing appearance, very comfortable, suitable for Wear in any season of the year, and may be mass-produced at low cost.
l claim:
A sandal comprising, in combination: an insole having an opening; and outsole below said insole; a sock liner covering said insole and having a slit above said opening; a .pair of strips integral with and each extending from Vone outer side of said sock liner adjacent to the latters rear end, said strips being twisted and turned over to form a pair of side straps of the sandal and being connected to each other to form a front strap having a lower end portion received in said slit, and each of said strips having a free end bent into the plane of said insole and received in the opening therein; and means for connecting the free ends of said strips to the outsole and for connecting the sock liner to said insole.
