SHOE.
Patented'oct. 16, 1906. i
Application filed August 16, 1905- Serial No. 274.402.
To all whom it may concern;
Be it known that'I, JOHN V. CUNNIFF, a citizen of the United States,.residing at Fall River, 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 has reference to an improvement in shoes, and more particularly to an improvement in laceshoes.
Shoes as heretofore constructed, and particularly lace shoes, have a serious fault caused by the manner in which the quarters are secured to the vamp at a point where the lacing-opening in the quarters starts from the vamp, the several thicknesses of leather, including the lower end of the tongue and lining, forming a bunch at this point on the interior surface of the shoe. This bunch on the interior surface of the shoe causes considerable annoyance and is liable to cause injury to the foot of the wearer.
The object of my invention is to improve the construction of a lace-shoe, whereby the shoe has a smooth interior surface at the point where the lacing-opening in the quarters starts from the vamp, and the lower end of the tongue is secured to the vamp, thereby obviating the bunch usually formed on the interior of lace-shoes at this point.
My invention consists in the peculiar and novel construction of a lace-shoe at a point where the vamp, the lower front edges of the quarters, and the lower end of the tongue meet, whereby a smooth interior surface is given to the shoe at this point, as will be more fully set forth hereinafter.
Figure 1 is a side view of a shoe embodying my improved construction. Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail face view at the lower front portion of the quarters and the upper front portion of the vamp, showing the construction of the same for the first step of my improved construction. Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2, showing the second step of my improved construction. Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 2, showing the third and final step, which completes the shoe at this point. Fig. 5 is a still further enlarged detail sectional View taken on line X X of Fig. 4, showing my improved construction of the vamp and quarters at this point; and Fig. 6 is an enlarged detail sectional view similar to Fig. 5, taken on line Y Y; of Fig. 4', showing the construction of the vamp and quarters at the seam.=
. In the drawings, a indicates the vamp ,'b b the quarters, and 0 the location of my improvement in the shoe, as shown in Fig. 1. The vamp a has the upper'edge a, and the quarters b b have the lower edges b 'b, as shown in Fig. 2. These edges are skived to a knife-edge, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6.
In carrying my invention into practice I first cut the slits a a in the edge a of the vamp a and the coinciding slits b b in the edges 1) b of the quarters b I), thus forming the tongue a on the vamp a and the tongues b b on the quarters b bin the front portion of the same, as shown in Fig. 2. The edges (1 a are now folded under and onto the body portion of the vamp, forming a fold thewidth of which equals the depth of the slits a a and the tongues b b folded under and against the body portion of the quarters, forming a fold the width of which equals approxi mately two-thirds the depth of the slits b 6 The tongue a now extends outward from thebody portion of the vamp equal to the full depths of the slits a a and the tongues b b extend outward from the body portion of the quarters approximately onethird the depth of the slits b N, as shown in Fig. 3. The vamp and quarters are now brought together into a position for the slits a c and b b to coincide and the tongues b b on the quarters pushed over the tongue a on the vamp and the edges a a on the vamp pushed over the edges 1) b on the quarters, the tongues b b and the edges 0/ a/ overlapping each other the depth of the slits 0 a in the vamp. The vamp and quarters are now secured together by the usual double row of stitching, as shown in Fig. 4. Otherwise the shoe may have the usual construction of any of'the well-known forms of lace-shoes. By this novel construction and peculiar arrangement of the parts the double-thick edges (1 a, on the vamp and the double-thick tongues b b on the quarters are brought onto the outside of the shoe, thus forming a smooth interior to the shoe, as shown in detail in Figs. 5 and 6, without destroying the strengthened and finished edges of the vamp and quarters.
It is evident that the lining and tongue of the shoe may be secured in the usual way, or the lower end of the tongue may be secured between the tongue (1 on the vamp a and the tongues 19 b on the quarters b I), thus bringing the additional thickness of the shoetongue on the outside of the shoe, without materially affecting the spirit of my invention.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as newand'desire to secure by Letters Patentt 1. In a shoe, a vamp having folded upper edges on the sides and a flat upper edge on the front and quarters having fiat lower edges on the sides and folded lower edges on the front, and means for securing the quarters to the vamp in a position to bring the folded lower edges of the quarters over the flat upper edge of the vamp on the front and the folded upper edges of the vamp over the flat lower edges of the quarters on the sides,
whereby the folded edges of the-quarters are brought onto the outside of the shoe at the front, as described.
2. In a shoe, the combination with a vamp a having the slits a a in the folded edges 0/ a to form the tongue 0?, of the quarters b I) having the slits b b to form the tongues b b in the folded edges 1) b,whereby the double thickness of the tongues b b of the quarters are brought onto the outside of the tongue (1 of the vamp when the parts are secured together as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
JOHN V. OUNNIFF.
