New Manufacture of Shoes.
I, ADOLF BLOCH, of Kasernengasse No. 8, Vienna VI., Austria, Merchant,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:―
This invention relates to a new manufacture of shoes with leather soles with-
out sewing, pegging or screwing, but only by cementing.
If waterproof cementing substances, such as are well known in the trade, be
employed, all descriptions of shoes with leather soles may be made according to
my invention; but if cementing substances that are soluble in water be used,
the invention is mainly applicable for those descriptions of shoes with leather
soles that are not liable to be brought in contact with water, such as dancing or
dress shoes. The invention is only intended to be applicable to shoes with
leather soles and not to those with soles of other materials such as caoutchouc,
millboard, woven fabrics, or paper.
The manufacture is effected as follows.
The uppers of the shoes are made in the ordinary way.
An insole, which may be of leather, pasteboard or woven fabric, is fixed on
the shoe last by means of two nails, one at the heel, and the other at the toe
joint, and to the edge is then applied a coating of a suitable cementing material
to the extent of a finger's breadth.
The upper, with the outer surface outermost (and not reversed as has been
usual with "sew-rounds") is then stretched over the last, and the edges are pressed
firmly down on the cementitious coating round the edge of the insole, after which
the nails are removed.
The leather sole, previously prepared by cutting or stamping, and with
finished edges, has its inner surface coated with cementitious material, this being
applied with care so as to prevent the presence of superfluous material that might
exude, and the sole is then accurately placed in position over the insole and
edges of the upper, and is pressed or tied down firmly until perfectly dry. The
heel is also cemented on to the sole and subjected to pressure in like manner.
By the above described improved manufacture, the turning of the uppers and
the consequent stretching thereof is avoided, and a more perfect fit of the shoe is
insured.

statement:-
This invention relates to a new manufacture of shoes with leather soles with-
out sewing, pegging or screwing, but only by cementing.
If waterproof cementing substances, such as are well known in the trade, be
employed, all descriptions of shoes with leather soles may be made according to
my invention; but if cementing substances that are soluble in water be used,
the invention is mainly applicable for those descriptions of shoes with leather
soles that are not liable to be brought in contact with water, such as dancing or
dress shoes. The invention is only intended to be applicable to shoes with
leather soles and not to those with soles of other materials such as caoutchouc,
millboard, woven fabrics, or paper.
The manufacture is effected as follows.
The uppers of the shoes are made in the ordinary way.
An insole, which may be of leather, pasteboard or woven fabric, is fixed on
the shoe last by means of two nails, one at the heel, and the other at the toe
joint, and to the edge is then applied a coating of a suitable cementing material
to the extent of a finger's breadth.
The upper, with the outer surface outermost (and not reversed as has been
usual with sew-rounds) is then stretched over the last, and the edges are pressed
firmly down on the cementitious coating round the edge of the insole, after which
the nails are removed.
The leather sole, previously prepared by cutting or stamping, and with
finished edges, has its inner surface coated with cementitious material, this being
applied with care so as to prevent the presence of superfluous material that might
exude, and the sole is then accurately placed in position over the insole and
edges of the upper, and is pressed or tied down firmly until perfectly dry.
The heel is also cemented on to the sole and subjected to pressure in like manner.
By the above described improved manufacture, the turning of the uppers and
the consequent stretching thereof is avoided, and a more perfect fit of the shoe is
insured.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:-
-
A manufacture of shoes with leather sole, in particular ball or dress-shoes, in
which the upper is secured both to the insole and to the outer sole by cementing,
substantially as described.
