SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 741,826, dated October 20, 1903. Application filed October 1,1902. Serial No. 125,466. (No model.)
T0 on whom it may concern:
Be it knownthat I, GEORGE N. PHELPS, of Brookline, in the county of Norfolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improved Instep-Supporter for Boots or Shoes, of which the following is a specification.
My invention is an improvement on that described in my pending application, Serial No. 110,571, filed June 7, 1902, and is a shankstitfener with an instep supporter, as described in that application, but with the supporter on the inner side of the inner sole and connected with the shank-stiffener, which is on the outer side of the inner sole.
In making welted shoes with my former de vice on the well-known Goodyear machine it has been found necessary practically to sew the welt, upper, and lining by hand through the oblong holes in the connecting-strip which connectsthe shank-stiffener with the sup porter; and the object of my present invention is mainly to so connect the supporter and shank-stifiener that that connection will not interfere at all with the use of the Goodyear or other machine in the manufacture of the shoe, for the shoe is made in all respects as usual, except that the shank-stiifener is adapted to receive the arch-plate when the shoe is finished.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan of an inner sole with my improved device in place. Fig. 2 is a cross-section, but showing conventionally a Goodyear shoe in part ready for the application of my supporter. Fig. 3 is a like section of a shoe with my supporter in place.
In my improved device the supporter A is connected to the shank-stiifener A by means of a projection or tang a to fit a socket a, fast to the shank-stiffener, the socket a fitting a recess formed in inner sole B and the projection at extending through the inner sole, so that the supporter and shank-stiffener are on opposite sides of the inner sole, leaving the outer side of the inner sole unobstructed when presented to the Goodyear machine in the well-known manner.
I prefer to attach a separate socket-piece a to the shank-stifiener A, as such shankstiffeners as are now generally used are made of metal so thin that the connection between stiifener or if the tang of the supporter were rivetedto the shank with the inner sole between them; but it will be obvious that my invention is not limited to the form of connection shown, the substance of the matter being that the shank-stiifener and supporter are connected together with the inner sole between them in order that the shoe may be lasted and finished in the usual way. When finished, the shoe is ready for the introduction of the supporter A, which may be readily put in and taken out in that form of my shoe shown in the drawings. This feature of making the shank-stiffenerA ready to receive the supporter A, which can be readily removed and replaced, is an additional feature of my invention and one of material importance for a large class of wearers, for in many cases the wearer desires to use the supporter A only on occasion.
What I claim as my invention is- 1. The improved instep-s upporter for boots and shoes comprising a shank-stiffener and an instep-supporter connected together by a connection extending through the inner sole.
2. The article of footwear above described provided with a shank-stiffener on the outer side of the inner sole, an instep-supporter on the inner side of the inner sole, and means for attaching the instep supporter to the shank-stiffener.
3. A metallic shank-stiffener for boots and shoes with a socket near its middle in combination with an insteparch supporter provided with a tang to engage that socket, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
