SHOE-UPPER BLANK.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 370,980, dated October 4, 1887.
Application filed July 23, 1887. Serial No. 245,127. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JoHN LEARY SKINNER, of W'axahachie, in the county of Ellis and State of Texas, have invented a new and useful Improved Blank'for Shoe Uppers, of which the following is aspecification.
My invent-ion relates to an improvement in blanks for the uppers of what are known as plow-shoes, wherein a flyis folded over the instep and secured upon the side of the shoe by means of a tongue and buckle.
The object of my invention is to provide a durable, inexpensive, and comfortable shoe which will be largely free from stitching and will have a neatly fitting and pleasing appearance.
The improvement consists in forming a blank or pattern for an upper of the configuration hereinafter described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective of a shoe made from a blank of novel configuration in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan of the blank of an upper of said shoe cut from a single piece of leather, and Fig. 3 a plan of the inner flap detached.
The outline of the upper, as shown in Fig. 2, commencing at the'left side thereof, is cut with an ogee curve extending from a to b, with a flap extension, A, having rounded ends a (1 cf, an upper edge,f g 72, to embrace the ankle B, a corresponding portion, a t It, at the lower edge to embrace the heel C, an elliptical edge, kl m, to embrace the sole D and provide a covering for the foot E, an ogee curve, n 0,to match the curve a b,,hereinbefore described, and be stitched thereto upon the side F of theshoe, and a curve, 0 h, to provide the foot-opening at the instep G, over which the flap A is folded. A pear-shaped inner flap, H, cut from soft leather shived at its edges, is stitched to the curved edge 0 h and folds over the ankle inside of the flap A, and provides a closely and comfortably fitting covering for the instep, and, together with the flap A, which overlies it, will provide a close covering for the foot-opening ofthe shoe. One or more tongues, I, of leather, are stitched or riveted at l to the outer flap, A, and are secured by buckles K to the outer side of the shoe. The upper is folded in the dotted line at .90 at the back end, then folded in the dotted linel 0 at the foot of the upper, after which the edges a b and n 0 are stitched together at the side of the shoe.
The inside flap, H, may be stitched onto the curved edge 0 it before the upper is folded as above described, and the tongues and buckles may be riveted to the upper at any convenient time.
The lower edge, a tit Z on a, may be secured to the sole D by pegs, stitches, or standard screws, after first being stretched upon a last to give it the finished shape.
I am aware that the upper has been variously formed to reduce the number of seams required to complete the shoe, and simply de-
