ARCTIC OVERSHOE.
No. 330,592.V Patented Nov. 17, 1885.
NiTED vSTATES PATENT OFFICE.
THOMAS B. LAVEY, OF BRISTOL, RHODE ISLAND.
ARCTIC OVERSHOE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 330,592l dated November 17, 1885. Application filed January 17, 1884. Serial No. H1823. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, THOMAS B. LAVEY, of Bristol, county of Bristol, and State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Impiovement in Arctics or Snow Excluders, of which the following is afull, clear, and exact description. A
My invention relates to that class of overshoes which are generally formed with felt uppers and have rubber heels and soles, and my invention more particularly relates to the uppers of such shoes. v
The objects of my invention are to so construct the uppers as to economi'ze material, and also to dispense with the objectionable back seam commonly employed in making shoes of this class.
My invention consists in the peculiar and novel construction of the upper, whereby the abovestated objects are accomplished.
In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will proceed to describe it with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1- is a side elevation of my improved overshoe. Fig. 2 is atop view of the same.
In the said drawings, A designates the sole, and A the heel, of the shoe. B designates the rubber portion of the upper, and C D designate the front and rear parts, respectively, of the vamp, which is made of cloth or felt.
Heretofore overshoes of this class have been formed with two iiaps--one on each side of the instepe-and such flaps have been joined over the instep by one or more tongues held by buckles. This arrangement involves a great deal of cutting of the vamp, and consequently much waste and labor, and also renders the shoe quite expensive. In order to avoid these 'objectionable features, I have devised my improved shoe, which is constructed as follows: The portion D of the vamp is formed in one piece, without the usual back seam, and is joined to the front portion, O, by the side seams, c d. The portions CD at the seam are so cut as to closely t the instep of the wearers shoe, while on the opposite side of the instep the part C is formed with a fullness or extension, o', which is creased inwardly at c". The
part D is formed witha flap, d, which is joined to the extension c by the seams d d. Upon the fiap d is secured a strap, e, which, when the shoe has been placed upon the foot, is fastened by a buckle, f.
In using this shoe the foot is inserted into the shoe, and in so doing the fullness or eX- tenslon o is distended. The extension is then folded in upon the instep, and the ap d is secured over the instep by the strap .6 and buckle f.
The shoe as thus constructed involves less cuttmg of the vamp, and consequently less labor and waste of material, and for this reason the shoe is less expensive than the old form of shoe.
I am unaware of the construction heretoforeA providing the vamp and quarter pieces with suitable extensions adapted to be joined togeltier and forming the required fullness or I am aware that heretofore shoes of this class have been constructed with a single fullness or extension on one side of the instep, and hence I do not claim such construction, broadly, but in combination therewith a seamless rear portion, which, so far as I am aware, has not heretofore been devised.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. An improved overshoe having a quarter with a forward extension on one side thereof, and having a vamp with a rearward exten sion on one side thereof, the said extensions of quarter and vamp pieces jointly forming a fullness or fold to one side of the instep, the opposite side having a smooth or unbroken connection, for the purpose specified.
2. The combination, with the quarter D, having an extension, d, and strap e, of the vamp O, having the extension c on one side only, and the buckle f on the opposite side, and of the part B, the rubber sole A, and heel A, substantially as set forth.
THOMAS B. l LAVEY.
