'1 '0 an wnom "it may co ncmm:
Be it known that I, HENRY C. RrcnAnDsoN, of Haverhill, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Composite Boots and Shoes, of which the following is a specification.
This invention is an improved composite boot, made upoi felt, cotton and woolen fabrics, and vulcanized rubber. The felted body is formed entire to fit the foot and leg, the leg portion thereof being preferably I adjustable in size by means oia vertical overlap and provided with suitable fastenings, the foot portionbeing hand coated externally with rubber cement, then furnished with a rag sole similarly coated and a perforated shank support of peculiar shape applied thereto. The felted upper of the boot is next reinforced by two separately applied fabric layers, one of cotton rubber ,c oeted on both sides and the otlio r an'outer woolen fabric coated on the inner side only, the lower edges of these layers being turned inwardly to partially cover the rag sole and shank support, a narrowedge ioxing of rubber being applied around the lower portion of the fore part of the boot and running back to the heel counter. This counter or heel stiffeneris shaped as usual and applied to the heel portionoi'. the boot and is subsequentl y covered by the external layer of rubber. A narrow filling of rag stock is now applied along the shoe bottom to -level it up between the inward turned edges of the fabric layers, and covering the shank support. Over this is theouter rubber sole and heel applied as heretofore, and when the partshave been suitably varnished the boot is sent to the heater and vulcanized.
I materially strengthen theieltbody near the ankle joint by extending reinforcing portions of the Woolen fabric, cemented to the felt body direct,.the lnter mediate layer of cotton not thus extending. Theupper edges of the outer iabric will be furnished with a narrow adhesive binding of rubber tape, giving a better finish. x
In the drawing, Figure l is a side ele etion oi the Fig. 2 'a top view'of the felted leg,
the foot portion of the boot. Figs}; 5 and nre, respectively, a bottom plan, a perspective top view and a transverse section of the shank supporting plate, the
I dotted outline in Fig. 4 showing the relation of the foot thereto, and the section,,Fig. 6, being taken about on line 6-6 of Fig. l. t v 7 represents the foot portion and 8 the leg of the boot, formed inte ral by a ieltin rocess, and 9- is a p o u p I tapering seamless iold or overlap, along the leg, vidod with clasps or buckles 10 for closing and opening the same. This peculiar boot body 'withits over lap portion is shaped upon the improved last or tree set iorth'in my Patent No. 829,487, dated August 2 8,
1906, and is held on such a tree dining inost oi the sub sequent operations in completing the boot.
The foot portion oi the boot body is heavily coated externally with vulcanizablc rubber cement, and a co' nientcoated sole layer ll of ragstock is applied to the bottom thereof, see Fig. 3. I then apply, along the v shank portion the peculiar shank supporting plate 12,
having a convex longitudinal and a concave transverse curve, to exactly lit the arch of the wearefls foot, and.
turned upwardly along part of its inner edge as indibeyond layer 13 toward each ankle, as a wing or special reinforce 15. The upper edges of layer 14 are bound with anarrow rubber tape 16, see Fig. l,\t'l).626 the short dotted line denotes the limit of the intermediate cotton layer. The "lower edges of both these layers are turned inwardly to somewhat overlap sole layer 11 and reach to plate 12, and a filling 17 of fog stock levels up between such edges, covering said plate, see Fig.
The upright heel portion has a counter or heel stiffener 18 of rag-stock or the like, cemented to the felt body 7, this stiffener and adjacent portion oithe body being covered by a finishing layer of rubber l9, a tongue of which extends well up the rear hne oi the boot. as a tongue of the textile iabric l3 and 14 extends up the front, see Figs. 1 and 3.
A marginal losing-oi rubber 20 runs from the toe rcarwardly to the anlrle portion, where it covered by the upright heel layer 19. The boot bottom is cove'red and completed by a compounded l'llljbfit' sole 2i and heel 22, and the thinner shank portion 23.
Theespecial need of a shank stiffener in a'ielt and rubber boot, and particularly of a plate of consider able breadth and conforming throughout tothe arch of the human foot, results from the fact that the ina'te rials named lack the strength and stiffness of the usual leather construction and should be supplemented by a supporting device sell held by the rubber adjacentto it as herein described. I .do not however claim the said shnnl: as an'essential element of my invention, as
l are aware that a similar device has heretofore been and reinforced on the front upper with two distinct 'textilelayers extending froin ;tlie sole up over the instep,
portions of the outer layer extending beyond the inner layer, towards the ankle, in combination with a compound rubber sole and upright heel portion, the parts being vul canizeti together, substantially as set forth. I
-2. In a composite boot, the foundation or inner body comprising a shaped foot and an adjustable leg portion formed entire ot a felted fabric, the leg portion halving on'one side a seamless vertical fold or overlap fol-mud integral with .the legend foot, and extending from the top downwardly nearly to the ankle .and provided with suitable fns'lenings, andthe foot portion being cementcoated and reinforced on the front upper with two distinct textile layers extending from the sole up oyer the asses;
instep, the upper edge of the outer layer having a narrow binding and portions of such outer material extending beyond the inner layer, towards the ankle, in combination with :1 compounded rubber ,v 1e and upright heel portion and a marginal faxing, the parts hei'n; vulcanized together, Hulrslzlnliully as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have afiixed my signature, in presence of two witnesses. I
