Improvements in the Manufacture of Boots and Shoes.
We JOHN WARD JONES of 92 St. Pauls Road Canonbury in the County of
Middlesex Engineer and EDWARD KYNASTON BRIDGER of Temple Chambers
Falcon Court Fleet Street London in the County of Middlesex Gentleman do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
In the year 1888 Letters Patent No. 3172 were granted to us in the Specification
and drawings of which we described and illustrated (inter alia) a sliding metal
waist and a sliding heel each separate from the other.
Now according to our present invention we make or form the "waist" and heel
all in one piece that is such heel and waist according to one arrangement are
stamped up or otherwise suitably formed all in one part from sheet metal and such
combined hollow metal heel and metal waist have their edges turned under in any
suitable manner so that this combined "waist" and heel may be slid on to a metal
plate or plates or equivalent (formed to receive same) secured on the insole of a
boot or our combined heel and waist formed from suitable metal all in one part
may or may not be combined with any other suitable material or materials as
desired and may be attached and secured in its position on the boot or shoe by any
other suitable method or means.
Screws or other suitable fastenings may be used as desired for securing the parts
respectively in their respective positions.
The hollow metal heel part may be filled with wood or other packing therein
and an outer wearing piece of leather or other suitable material is secured thereon
by screws or other suitable means.
The heel and waist combined all in one part according to our present invention
may be made of any suitable material or materials other than metal if desired-the
heel being hollow or not as desired and such combined heel and waist being formed
by pressing moulding or stamping et cetera et cetera and attached to the boot or
shoe in any suitable manner.

on the insole of a boot or our combined heel and waist formed from suitable metal
all in one part may or may not be combined with any other suitable material or

Screws or other suitable fastenings may be used as desired for securing our
combined heel and waist in position.
The hollow metal heel part may be filled with wood or other packing therein
and an outer wearing piece of leather or other suitable material is secured thereon
by screws or other suitable means.
The heel and waist combined all in one part according to our present invention
may be made of any suitable material or materials other than metal if desired-the
heel being hollow or not as desired and such combined heel and waist being formed
by pressing moulding or stamping et cetera et cetera and attached to the boot or
shoe in any suitable manner.
And in order that our present invention may be easily understood and readily
carried into practice we will proceed to further describe same with reference to the
drawings hereunto annexed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 is a plan of a combined (metal) heel and waist.
Figure 2 is an underside plan of same.
Figure 3 is a side view or elevation of same.
Figure 4 is a side sectional view on line A-B Figure 1.
Figure 5 is a cross section on line C-D Figure 1.
Figure 6 is a cross section on line E-F Figure 1.
Figure 7. is a perspective view (looking downwards) of the combined heel and
waist.
a is the heel having any suitable holes or perforations e c or both for screwing
nailing rivetting or sewing therethrough for securing the heel in position or for
securing an outer wearing piece of leather or otherwise on the bottom side a¹ of the
heel or for both purposes.
d is the waist formed all in one part (as shown) with the heel a and either with
or without holes or openings ee or equivalents at the front end thereof to secure
same in position and to the fore part or sole or it may be to a sliding sole as in our
before mentioned Patent No. 3172 of 1888.
The edges may be suitably turned over so as to form a lip to slide under a
plate secured to the insole or our combined heel and waist may be arranged
mounted and secured in position on the boot or shoe in any other equivalent
manner.
By our present invention we obtain great strength in the construction of boots
and shoes and also economy in cost of manufacture.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is:
1. In the manufacture of boots and shoes the combination of the heel and waist
all in one part or piece.
2. We claim the heel and waist formed all in one part or piece mounted and
arranged and in combination with the other parts of a boot or shoe substantially in
the manner and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth.
