HARRY D. HOLBROOK, OF UTIOA, NEV YORK.

SHOE.

SPECFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 545,160, dated August 27, 1895.

Application tiled January 14, 1895. Serial No. 534,941. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that i, HARRY D. HoLnRooK, of Utica, in the county of Oneida and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shoes and the Manufacture Thereof; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which 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 and ii gu res of reference marked thereon, which form part of this specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in shoes.

In the drawings which accompany and form a part of this specification, and in which similar letters and igures of reference refer to corresponding parts in the several views, Figure l shows a top view of the insole ot' my shoe. Fig. 2 shows a bottom view of the insole. Fig. 3 shows a partial top View of a modified form of construction. Fig. l shows a longitudinal section of the construction shown in Fig. 3. Fig. shows asection of the insole from the under side, showing the stitchy ing and arrangement of the several parts. Fig. 6 shows a section on A B of Figi. Fig.

Zshows a cross-section of an insole of a modivlied form of construction. Fig. Sshows a section through the toe of a shoe constructed according to my plan.

Referring to the reference letters and numbers in a more particular description of the shoe, l indicates the insole of my shoe, which as shown in Figs. 1, 2, 6, and 8, consists of a single sheet of leather or other material. On the under side of this sole, adjacent to the edge thereof, with the exception of the heel p0rtion, are secured the strips 2 2 of material, preferably leather, by two rows of stitches a. and b, the row of stitches a. being as near to the outer edge of the strip as it is practicable to place them, while the row of stitches b is considerably removed from the inner edge of the strip 2. The inner edge of the strip 2 is beveled olf, forming a pliable lip 2a. The upper 3 is sewed to the insole l by the curved stitches e, passing through the lower edge of the insole, the edge ofthe upper 3, and the welt 5. Provision is made for receiving the edge of the upper and inner edge of the Welt in the corner or shoulder 6 under the insole and at the edge of the strip 2. The sole is secured to the projecting ed ges of the welt by stitches 8, and the edge of the welt and the sole are trimmed off, as shown in Fig. 8. in forming the stitches 4 the channel-clinch of the sewingmachine passes along under the pliable edge 2a of the strip, sewing ou the under side of the insole, and while the sewing is being done the pliable edge is turned out, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 6. It Will be noted that the stitches i pass from a point inside of the rowot stitches b tothe outer edge of the insole, and thence through the upper and the welt. This stitching maybe done by rnachine,l which forms a stitch substantially as shown at 4 in Fig. 5, and the shoe is sewed on the last.

The form of the insole and welt after the Welt is sewed on and before the sole is applied is shown in Fig. 5, in which 5 is the body portion of the welt and 5 is the upturned edge through which the stitches are passed. The space c between the inner sole and the outer sole may be lled or partially filled with 1illing, or the sole may be rolled or pressed, so as to force the inner sole to the outer sole, coming in contact in the middle portion 0f the shoe, the inner sole being curved to bring it to a position on the outer sole and the filling omitted, if desired.

In the construction shown in Fig. a cork or composition piece M is used to furnish the body of the insole, and this is covered with a covering N, 4of canvas orother suitable material, passing over the top and lapping under the edges of the piece M, and on the bottom is applied a second piece o,of canvas or other suitable material, furnishing a complete enl velope for the body M, and to this are sewed the strips 2 2 in the same manner as heretofore described. The stitches are l passed through the body portion of the insole in the same manner as shown in Fig. 8 with reference to the non composite sole. There a cork or composition sole, as M is, employed at the heel, I introduce a heel-piece between the body portion and the outer covering o, in whichv the nails clinch in nailing the heel on the shoe.

In the manufacture of these shoes the outer edge of the strip 2 is known as the shoulder,

from the stitches b, an upper, a. welt, stitches passing through the body of the insole under the strips and through the rows of stitches a 15 and I), the upper and the welt and the sole sewed to the welt, substantially as set forth.

In witness whereof I have affixed my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
