PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New Lining for Boots and Shoes, and Improved Nails Employed
in the Manufacture of Boots and Shoes.
I, EDGAR BOOTH, of Harrison Road, Halifax in the County of York,
Solicitor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The first part of my invention has reference to linings for use in the manufacture
of boots and shoes whereby boots are made damp-proof and water-proof.
According to my invention I make use of thin sheets of aluminium which are
inserted in the sides of the boot and made secure to the welt in any ordinary and
well known manner. This aluminium lining is preferably inserted between the
leather and the cotton woollen leather or other lining as the case may be, by which
meaus damp or moisture cannot strike through to the feet of the wearer.
The second part of my invention has reference to nails of all kinds employed
in the manufacture of boots and shoes. My improvements consist in making the
nails of an alloy of aluminium and other metals whereby the nails are of less
weight, thus the wearer will have less to carry, in addition to which nails made
from such alloys will be much stronger and wear longer than those at present
in use.
Dated this 2nd day of January 1896.
