Filed NOV. 14, 1955 5gg/d2 FF' y@ Patented Dec. l, 1936 sHoE Maurice J. Bernstein, Brighton, Mass., assignor to Panther-Panco Rubber Co. Inc., Chelsea, Mass., a corporation of Massachusetts Application November 14, 1935, Serial No. 49,728
1 Claim.
The present invention relates to boots and shoes, and more particularly to a shoe which is inexpensive in its construction and attractive in' its exterior appearance.
In the production of such a shoe I employ an insole of suitable material about which the upper material is lasted and held temporarily in lasted condition by tacks or similar expedient. Thereafter an outer sole of rubber composition or the like and molded to fit the insole and lasted upper material is assembled therewith and cemented or otherwise secured in position. Finally the shoe is removed from the last and the outsole, inner sole and upper secured by nails or the like which pass through the outsole, upper and insole and are turned over and clinched on the upper surface of the inner sole. The outer sole is slit from the margin to mask the nail heads therein.
An important feature of the invention is concerned with the shape and construction of the molded outer sole which is provided with an elevated and thickened marginal portion extending about the forepart. This marginal portion has an inner boundary which conforms to the contour of the lasted upper and fits closely thereagainst, and an outer boundary which imparts the general outline or contour to the sole. The surface of the marginal portion may, if desired, be ribbed or corrugated to simulate the usual wheeling upon the welt. The opposite surface of the outsole is provided with a marginal ornamentation of any suitable character which is of suicient width to comprehend the area within which the nails are driven. After the driving of the nails and the relaying and cementing of the flap, this ornamental area imparts an attractive appearance to the shoe bottom and completely masks any irregularities and protuberances which would otherwise appear in the margin of the sole at the location of the securing nails. The thickened marginal portion or rib which shapes and imparts the contour tothe lasted upper at the top of the shoe, together with the ornamented margin which enhances the appearance of the shoe bottom, combine to eiectively improve the appearance of the shoe as a whole.
In the accompanying drawing illustrating the preferred form of the invention, Fig. 1 represents a side elevation of a shoe; Fig. 2 is a bottom plan View of a shoe bottom; Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the outsole before application to the shoe; Fig. 4 is a detail illustrating a section through the outsole, lasted upper and insole; Fig. 5 is a similar detail illustrating a section of the outsole (Cl.A 36-14) before assembly with the shoe; Fig. 6 is a detail illustrating the ornamental'margin at the bottom or tread face of the outsole; and Fig. 7 is a detail illustrating an 'enlarged plan View of the thickened and elevated rib.
Referring to the accompanying drawing, a shoe of conventional appearance is illustrated, embodying an upper I0, an outer sole I2 and a flat heel I4, the two parts of the upper being held in closed relationship by a lace I6. The construction is simple and effective, and is readily apparent from an inspection of Fig. 4. As indicated herein, an insole I8 of proper contour is assembled and connected by tacks or otherwise to .a lasted upper 20 which is drawn about the outer edge of the insole and secured on the under side. The lasted insole and upper are then assembled with an outsole 22 which is preferably made of molded rubber composition and is intended to be supplied in virtually the form in which it is used, namely, having thev correct size and contour without requiring edge trimming or shaping. This outsole, as indicated more particularly in Figs. 2 to '7, is provided on the upper or attaching side with a raised and thickened marginal portion 30 which, as shown, extends throughout the shank and forepart and completely about the toe. This raised rib communicates with the major portion or body of the outsole 32 through a reasonably abrupt but slightly rounded shoulder 34, and virtually produces a central cavity or depression extending throughout the major portion of the sole and bounded by the shoulder 34 having a contour which corresponds exactly to the contour of the lasted upper and within which the upper ts snugly, as indicated in Fig. 4. By virtue of this construction the elevated margin in conjunction with the outer edge of the insole provides .a channel or recess within which the upper material fits snugly and from without which the upper material projects upwardly in the manner indicated. Furthermore, the employment of the thickened 1 outer margin completely masks the area within which the upper turns about the outsole and presents an exceedingly trim and attractive appearance at the junction between the outer margin of the outsole and the upper. As stated previously, if so desired the extended surface of the marginal edge may be corrugated as at 36 to simulate the usual wheeling on the marginal projection.
The under or tread side of the outsole is provided with an embossed, ornamented or roughened marginal strip 40 which is of sufficient depth to include the nailing area, and which adds an attractive finish to the shoe bottom. This area, as indicated, may have a series of transverse corrugations 42 terminating in an inner boundary rib 44 which provides the juncture between the roughened surface and the smooth inner surface of the sole.
Before application, the outsole Vis slit inwardly from the margin at 46 to a depth comparable to the width of the roughened area and the flap is turned back in order that securing nails 48 may be driven through the outsole, upper and insole and clinched therewithin. After the insertion of securing nails the ap is laid back and secured in place and the margin of the sole possibly subjected to laying or leveling pressure to make it as uniform as possible. However, regardless of non-uniformity in the surface of the sole throughout this area, the roughened portion tends-tomask and hide any unevennesswhich :may be present, and causes the margin ofthe sole to blend into the shoe bottom as a whole. If so desired, the surface of the insole may be covered with a protective flap or sock lining, as indicated at 5U.
What is claimed is:
A shoe comprising an insole, an upper lasted about the edge of the insole, a molded outsole of rubber composition or the like having a raised and thickened'marginal portion extending about the forepart and having a contour at its inner boundary matching the contour of the lasted upper and providing a channel in conjunction Withthe outer edge of the insole to receive the lasted upper, securing nails embedded below the opposite'face of the outsole, passing through the outsole, lasted upper and insole and clinched Within the insole to secure the parts in assembled relationand an embossed and ornamented flap providing a marginal area about the tread face of the outsole of a width suii'cient to include the area withinWhich the securingmails areinserted.
