UNITED STATES MOSES M. PET'IES, OF 'E PATENT OFFICE.
CONCORD, VERMONT.
llMPRovEMi-:NT IN Boojrs AND sHoEs.
To all whom, if 11mg/ concer/1,:
vBe it known. that I, Mosns M. PETTES, of West Concord, in the county of Essex and State of Vermont,have invented a newand useful Improvement in Boots and Shoes; audIdo hereby declare that the following is a full,
erence being had to the annexed drawings, makinga part of this specification, in which- Fig-ure l is a view of the sole o ta boot or shoe provided with my invention; Fig. 2,- ay langitudinal section of the same, taken inthe line a: x, Fig. l'.
Similar letters of reference indicateorrespending parts in the two figures.
This invention relates to a certain means employed for securing metal heads in the soles andv heels of boots and shoes for the purpose of ren'dering the same durable, the invention efectually preventing the casual detachment of the heads from the soles and heels, and admit-ting of more efficient heads being used than hitherto, ones that will be capable of sustaining inuch greater wear.
To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and construct my invention, I will proceed to describe it. l
A represents the main portion of the sole, and B the main portionl ofthe heel, of a boot or shoe. These portions ofthe sole and heel are constructed in the usual way, and therefore do not require a minute description.
C represents the face or outer part or layer of the sole, and D the outer layer or face of the heel. These outer parts C D are ofleather, and each part is perforated with circular holes at suitable distances apart to receive metal heads E.
The heads E are of cylindrical forni, each having a flange a at one end. These flanges are simply annular beveled projections which extend all around the heads, as shown clearly The heads E are of cast-iron, the flanges a being cast with the main part, and they may be cast with a chill. The heads should be equal in length to the thickness of the part-s C l), and said heads are inserted in the parts C D, the flanges ct being at the inner sides of said parts, as shown clearly in Fig. 2.
y The parts C D, when the metal heads E are inserted in them, are secured to the main portions A B of the sole and heel by the usual process of sewing or pegging, and it will be seen that when said parts C D are secured to the main portions A B of the' sole and heel the metal heads E will be firmly secured in thesole, as the iianges a effectually prevent the heads E slipping out from the parts C D, and -itwill also be seen that the heads E may be worn entirely through or entirely upto Athe flanges a and still be retained in proper posit ion.
The under sides of the flanges a' are beveled, and consequently they are allowed to countersink themselves into the 'inner surfaces of the parts C D, as the latter are secured to the main portions A B. The heads E, therefore, arranged as shown, are far more efficient than the'ordinary metal nails which are driven in the soles and heels, or the metal plates which are attached thereto, as the heads E may be made ot far greater thickness and still not increase the thickness of the sole and heel, whereas the ordinary nails and' plates increase the thickness of the soles and'heels and renderthem clumsy and cumbersome.
I am aware that screw-shaped pins have before been used upon the bottoms of boots and shoes. These] disclaim. I consider theminferior to mine because .they are expensive in construction, as a thread must be formed upon them, and in use they are apt to drop out because by repeated upward pressure the screw-th reads breal7 away the sides of the aperture in the leather on which the pins depend for security, but in my improvement all the upward pressure is resisted by the upper part of the head.
Having thus described my invention, 'what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The arrangement ot the hanged metallic heads E between the soles A l5 C D in ythe manner herein shown and described.
