PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Soles for Slippers.
I JOSEPH LESTER VERO of Long Street Atherstone in the County of
Warwick Sock Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention has for its object improvements in outer slipper soles which are
made and sold for the purpose of sewing by hand or machine to worked or wool
uppers.
Slipper soles for making up worked or wool uppers are at present made of
leather, cork, wood, and like materials quite flat without heels.
According to my invention I employ leather or any other suitable material for
the outer sole to which I attach a heel of like material which I perforate round
the outside edge together with the edge of the remainder part of the sole for the
needle to pass through in sewing the sole and heel by hand to the upper.
The inner lining of the sole which is made of sheep skin lambs wool, felt, and
other suitable material I make a little smaller than the outer sole and heel leaving
a margin round the edge of the inner side of the sole sufficient to show the
perforated holes same as on the outer side of the sole and heel for the purpose of
more easily sewing the same by hand to the upper thus making a much more
complete and suitable sole for a worked or wool slipper.
In some cases I make the inner lining same size as the
the perforated holes on the inner side of the sole and heel.
Dated this 5th day of July 1893.

Improvements in Soles for Slippers.
I JOSEPH LESTER VERO of Long Street Atherstone in the County of Warwick
Sock Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
This invention has for its object improvements in outer slipper soles which are
made and sold for the purpose of sewing by hand or machine to worked or wool
uppers.
Slipper soles for making up worked or wool uppers are at present made of
leather, cork, wood, and like materials, quite flat without heels.
According to my invention I employ leather or any other suitable material for
the outer sole to which I attach a raised heel of like material which I perforate
round the outside edge together with the edge of the remainder part of the sole
for the needle to pass through in sewing the sole and heel by hand to the upper.
The inner lining of the sole which is made of sheep skin, lambs wool, felt, and
other suitable material I make a little smaller than the outer sole and heel
leaving a margin round the edge of the inner side of the sole sufficient to show
the perforated holes same as on the outer side of the sole and heel for the purpose
of more easily sewing the same by hand to the upper, thus making a much more
complete and suitable sole for a worked or wool slipper.

page_text: In some cases I make the inner lining same size as the outer sole not showing
the perforated holes on the inner side of the sole and heel.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is,
A raised heel to be attached to slipper soles as heretofore described which are to
be made and sold separate from the uppers.
