GOODYEAR WELTING AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME Filed May 10, 1938 Fzai W/fA ESSJ Patented Nov. 2%, i938 UNITE STATES reins GOODYEAR. WELTING AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME H. Allen Application May 10, 1938, Serial No. 207,048
3 Claims.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide Goodyear leather welting having a grain edge which is exposed to view and presents an attractive appearance when the welt is incorporated in a shoe; to provide for imparting to such grain edge welting a good-looking shape or conformation while in no Way interfering with its use in the fabrication of the inseam or other parts of shoes and to provide a simple, expeditious and reliable method for producing such welting.
Other objects of the invention will appear from the following description at the end of which the invention will be claimed.
Generally stated, the invention consists in a leather welt marginally folded over and secured on its self with the flesh side in providing a grain or hair edge, and the invention further comprises the production of such a welt by grooving and stufiing and marginally chamfering the flesh side of a leather strip, longitudinally folding the strip at the grooved portion and flesh side in, and securing the flesh side of the chamfered portion to the flesh side of the body of the welt.
The invention further comprises or consists in improvements to be presently described and finally claimed.
In the following description reference will be made to the accompanying drawing forming part hereof and in which,
Figure 1 is a top or plan View of a strip of leather from which the welt can be made.
Figure 2 is a transverse sectional view of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view of the finished welt.
Figs. 4 and 5 are views similar to Figs. 2 and. 3 and illustrating a modification.
Figure 6 is a view illustrating the welt of the invention in application to a shoe.
Referring to Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing l indicates a strip of leather having the usual stitch groove 2 and beveled corner 3 which are characteristic of Goodyear welting. The flesh side of the strip is provided with parallel grooves 4 and 5. Beyond the grooves 4 and 5 and on the side thereof opposite to the stitch groove 2 the strip of leather is chamfered or beveled to a thin edge as at 6. The strip of leather having been prepared in the manner described is folded on its self with the fiesh side of the flap or lap "i toward the flesh side of the body 8 and the flesh sides of the flap 1 and body portion 3 are pasted together. There is thus provided a grain edges of attractive shape produced by the stuffer it] which lies between the grooves 4 and 5. The finished welting is of blunt wedge shape in cross section and (Cl. l2-146) this in no way interferes with the inseam or with the incorporation of the welt into the shoe. On the contrary, it adds a good-looking appearance to the shoe.
In the modification illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5 5 the construction is the same except that there is provided a shingle groove H which receives a stuffing in the form of a strand or string 52.
It may be remarked that the grooves define the fold in the strip and that where two grooves l 10 and 5 are employed they also demarl; the stuffer it which is a part of the leather of the welt.
The fact that the welt is provided with a grain edge which is exposed when the welt is incorporated in the shoe adds a very attractive apl5 pearance to the latter, especially in connection with ladies light shoes because by the use of color and perforation an ornamental effect can be provided.
It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that modifications may be made in details of construction and procedure without departing from the spirit of the invention which is not limited as to such matters or otherwise than the prior art and the appended claims may require.
I claim:
1. A Goodyear leather welt comprising a strip of grain and flesh side leather and having a stitch groove and turned over on itself with the flesh side in providing a grain edge and a lap, the flesh side of said lap being grooved and marginally chamfered beyond the groove and terminating short of the stitch groove, the groove in the lap defining the fold, and the chamfered marginal portion of the flap being adhesively secured to the flesh side of the body of the welt.
2. A Goodyear leather welt comprising a strip of grain and flesh surfaced leather and having a stitch groove and turned over on itself with the flesh side in providing a grain edge and a lap, said lap being provided on the flesh side with spaced parallel grooves and with a sloping marginal surface, the grooves in the lap demarking a stufiing portion for defining the fold, and the sloping marginal surface of the iiap being adhesively secured to the flesh side of the body of the welt and stopping short of the stitch groove.
3. The method of making a Goodyear welt having a grain edge which consists in grooving and stufiing and marginally and outwardly chamfering the fiesh side of a leather strip having a grain face, longitudinally folding the strip at the grooved portion and flesh side in, and securing the flesh side of the chamfered portion to the flesh side of the body of the Welt thereby thickening the Welt at the folded edge.
