@uiten gisten @anni @fitta EDWIN P. TAYLOR, OF .NEW BEDFORD', MASSACHUSETTS.
Letters Patent No. 80,430, dated July 28, 1868.
IMPROVED BUTTON-BOOT.
TO ALL WHOM IT MAY OONCERN:
Be it known that I, EDWIN P. TAYLOR, of New Bedford, in the county of Bristol, and'State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Button-Boots; and I do hereby declare that the following, taken in connection with the drawings which accompany and form part of this specification, is a description of my invention suicient to enable those skilled Ain the art to practise it.
My invention relates particularly to that class of half boots known as button-boots, each of which has a Hap, which extends over the instep and front of the leg, and buttons at its edge at the side of the foot and legi.
In making such boots, it is customary either to make the upper of two pieces, seemed together at the centre of the top of the foot, or with an upper of one piece and a leg-part of the second, or with a ap-pie'ce inserted. 4
All of these constructions are alike objectionable, because the seams Aare liable, under strain, to break and gape, and the boot soon becomes unsightly; and the object of my invention has been to remedy this defect, by so cutting, trimming, and crimping the upper, that it shall form the upper and ap, and cover the whole top and front surface of the boot, with the iiap to button at the side; and my invention consists, primarily, in a button-boot, having the Hap and top and front, or the lapped upper, formed from one crimped piece free from seam. v
The drawing represents, at A and B respectively, a view of the front and of the back of a boot, embodying my invention.
a denotes the upper; b, the back; c, the sole; d, the heel. The sole and heel are malle and connected with the upper in the usual manner.
The upper, a, is made of one piece of stock, cut in blank, to the proper form, and then crimped, the stock being trimmed, and a slit, e, being cut to form the flapf.
'I he upper being so cut and crimped, is stitched at each side to the back, c, as shown in the side-seam g, the piece L being inserted for the flap to butt-on upon.
By so cutting, trimming, and crimping, and applying the upper, all necessity for seams in the upper itself is obviated, the boot presenting no seam along the centre line, x x, of the foot and leg, and no division into separate pieces'7 stitched `together to form the upper. The whole boot is not only made much more enduring, but is much neater in appearance, and is free from seams, which tend to hurt the top of the foo't.
In button-boots, as now made, the correspondence of the upper to the shape of the top of the foot is secured by cutting stock out straight and in pieces, and stitching the pieces together,but by crimping the stock and cutting the slit into the side, to form the flap, I am enabled to make the upper of one piece.
The back of a boot of this class is usually made of straight or uncrimped stock, in two pieces, stitched together at the centre of the heel, butV I attainfthe desirable form and construction by cuttingpthe stock for the backin one piece, and then crimping it into shape, leaving it free from seam, as shown at B.
I claim a button-boot, in which the whole upper and leg-front a and flapf'arc made in one piece, crimped to the proper form, substantially as shown and described.
EDWIN I. TAYLOR.
