IMPRovED SHOE-PATTERN.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part: of the same- To all whom 'itmag/ concern:

Bc it known that I, J AMES A. FRENCH, of Scenery lzlill, in the county oi' Washington, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in ShoeePatterns; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation ot' the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part ofthis specification, in whichv Figure l represents a. side view of a shoe, made by my improved pattern, showing that side on which the piece is inserted.

Figure 2 is a plan of the larger piece ofthe pat- Y tern; and

Figure 3 is a plan of the smaller piece.

This object of this invention is to enable the manufacturer to cut the leather` to the best advantage, and also to save labor in making the shoe.

The object is accomplished by cutting the main portion A ofthe upper in the form shown in iig. 2, making the side aperfect and ready to be immediately used, by cutting the slit S and the eyelets e e, as shown.

In connect-ion with the part A, I ont another and smaller part, B, iig. 3, the edge b b b b of which is adapted to fit accurately to the edge s s s s of the part A.

Eyelets c e are also cut in this piece.

The edges b b and s s are sewed together, as shown in lig. 1, which makes the side af, thus pierced out,

the exact counterpart of the side a, which is cut entire.

In the manufactnreof shoes the pieces B, in each pair, will be set, either both on the outer side or both on the inner side ofthe shoe, so as to give the pair a. uniform appearance when on the feet.

' Figs. 2 and 3 are accurate delineetions of the patterns necessary to produce the shoe represented in iig. l.

It is evident, that tiom this improved method of cutting shoes, several important advantages are derived.

In the first place, the leather is cut to the very best advantage, there being scarcely any waste in cutting the part A, while the part B can be cut from any small pieces not available for other purposes.

In the second place, but little sewing is necessary, as there are but two seams in the upper, viz, that shown at b b, e c, and the vertical seam at the middle of the counter.

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The shoe-pattern A B, of the configuration, when constructed and arranged as shown and described.

lo the abovespeciiication of my improvement, I have set my hand, this 21st day of April, 1869.
