`UPPER. 1\I0.297,823.A 1 Patented Apr.29,`1 884.
ffgv@ ATTORNEYS UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
STEPHEN MARVIN, OF BURNETTSVILLE, INDIANA.
UPPER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 297,823, dated April 29, 1884.
Application tiled December 30, 1881. (No model) 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, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to upper-leathers of boots or shoes for mens or womens wear, and its object is to enable an upper-leather to be cut in and from one piece, with a great saving of time and material, without crimping [to weaken the leather, and with fewer seams than usual to gall the feet or ankles of the wearer. In the accompanying drawings, Figurel is a plan View of an upperleather cut for the right foot, differing only from one cut for the vleft foot by 4having the parts D E to the right instead of the left, and the part E to the left instead of the right of the observer. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the rear part of an upper, showing a device by which' the upper is made to fit snugly to the leg above the heel and the appearance of the back part of the boot or shoe improved.
Like letters refer to like parts in both iigures.
After an upper has been cutv from a single piece of leather according to the form outlined in Fig. I, it is folded backwardly along the dotted line b b, so that A becomes the inner and B the outer leg of the upper. The side proj ectionis then folded b'ackwardly along the line c c, which makes C the inner and D the outer front of the upper. The upper edge of C voverlaps the part E, and is held in place by a lap-seam along the lines d e, and the upper is then ready for the sole. The edges f g of 45 the leg and instep part may be stitched 01" joined together in any suitable way.
I may prefer to cut away or leave out the parts F F F, substituting therefor equivalent parts of elastic cloth, webb-ing, or other similar material, so that the leg and instep of the upper may expand and contract to admit or release the wearers foot and adapt themselves to the size and shape of the wearers leg and instep. *Y
A curved slit, a, may be made in the back part of the upper and the edges of the slit, and adjacent parts crimped, so that the edge c may be lapped over the other edge till an in- Ward curve is given to the rear line of the up- 6o per, as shown in Fig. 2, the lapping edge being stitched down, as shown at a in that figure. The lining should be also slit, crimped, lapped, and stitched in the same manner, only the 'curve and lap should be on the other side of 6 5 the linge b b, to avoid making an unsightly and galling ridge on the A side of the line, and also to form 'a row of stitching on the B side, to match and complete the stitched figure. This crimping of the back leather of the upper not 7o i only gives a graceful curve to the otherwise straight line of the heel part of the upper, but tends to lessen slipping and blistering by holding the upper more closely to the ankles.
What I claim as new and useful, and desire 75 to secure by Letters-Patent, is y A boot or shoe upper cut through along the line a, the edges and near parts crimped till Y the edge ct can be lapped over the edge a and stitched or otherwise fastened down, for the 8o purpose of incurving the line b b, all substantially as described. j
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
STEPHEN MARVIN. Witnesses: J OHN W. WIMEE, THOMAS O. l?. WEAVER.
