I UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CHARLES A. BONNEY, OF NET/V BEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS.
SHOE-UPPER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent'No. 465,236, dated December 15,1891.
Application filed December 2,1890. Serial No. 373,282. (No model.)
To all whom. it may concern:
- Be it known that I, CHARLES A. BONNEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Bedford,in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Shoes, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to the manufacture of shoes, and more particularly to that class of IO shoes termed Congress, and it consists in the novel construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter particularly described, and defined in the claim, reference being made to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a top view of the vamp, quarters, and front top of a shoe embodying my 4 invention. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same after crimping andpreparatory to its connec-- 2 tion with the rear top and elastic gores.v Fig. 3 is a side view' of one of the rear tops. Fig. 4. is a side view of one of the elastic gores.
Fig. 5 is a side view of a Congress shoe constructed according to my invention.
In the accompanying drawings, the letter a; designates the rounded front vamp portion, 1) the quarters, and c the front top, which said parts are formed of a single piece of leather. This single piece of leather has two straight o diverging cuts 0 0, made therein at equal distances from its central line and extending forward from the vrearof the blank. Continuous of such straight diverging cuts are the curved cuts n n. The piece of leather thus described is crimped to give it the proper shape, as illustrated by Fig. 2 of the drawings, and the central portion 0, formed by the straight diverging cuts 0 0 and the cuts n n,
forms the front top of the shoe, thus avoiding a seam across the instep and enabling a saving of leather. n n in the quarters b b the point t' of the elastic gore e extends below the line of the heel and instep, and by its contracting power atfords a more neat fit about the top of the quarters and the instep and facilitates greatly the putting on and taking 01f of the shoe.
The letters dd represent the blanks for the rear top of the shoe shortened, as shown in the drawings, and formed with straight topportions, concave front and rear edges, and convex bottom edge to adapt them, in connection with the hereinbefore-described front top, rounded front vamp portion, and quar ters, to form a neat and perfect-fitting shoe, as illustrated by Fig. 5 of the drawings.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is I The leather-blank for a Congress gaiter herein described, comprising the blank 0., with the rounded front vamp portion, the two quarters b, and front top a, formed of a single piece of leather and having the two straight diverging cuts 0 0 and the curved cuts n n continuous of the straight cuts and extending from the rear of the blank, and two similar blanks d for the rear top of the shoe shortened, as described, and formedwith straight top por-' tions, concave front and rear edges, and con- .40 By reason of the curved cuts vexbottom edge, all substantially as set forth.
CHARLES A. BONNEY.
