Appiication filed october 31, 1913. serial navaaeos.
T0 all 'whom it may concern.'
Be it known that I, JOSEPH S. THOMAS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Greenville,y in the county of Washington and State of Mississippi, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Methods of Making Shoes, of which the'following is a specification'.
f This invention relates to improvements in the art of making foot gear, as for instance shoes, slippers, and the like.
It is one of the objects of this invention to provide an improved method whereby the body of a slipper or shoe may be formed of flexible, soft cord wound about a last in such a manner as to dispose the winds of the cord in lateral abutting relation whereby the entire exterior body of the shoe will be formed of cord.
A further feature of the method consists in forming a shoe body of a single length of cord and anchoring an'intermediate'portion of the cord upon one lpart of the last and then successively winding they opposite ends of the cord about the last, inI opposite vdirections, to form a shoe body. i
A further object is to provide an improved method whereby the winds are not only stitched in lateral'abutting relation but to a soft lining as each successive wind is positioned about the last. p
My improved method will be more fully describedy in connection with the accompanying drawing and will be more particularly pointed out and ascertained'in and by vthe appended claims.
In the ydrawin'gs:-I4`igure 1 isa perspective view of a last illustrating the method of forming a shoe or slipper thereon in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is af-'side view of a completed article. V`Fig. 3 is anfinside view illustrating the appearance of the lining and the' manner in which the same is secured to the cord body. Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view across the ball portion of the foot gear illustrating the exterior and interior appearance of the same;
Like characters of reference designate similar parts throughout the different figures ofthe drawing.
As illustrated, l designates a last upon which the lining 2 is first fitted; The lining 2 will preferably be of a soft fabric or Hannel and may be held onthe last by a line of stitching 3, as shown. Separate portionsof the lining maybe provided to form thel counters 4 and heel portion 5. After the lining is fitted on the last I wind about the covered last a soft fiexible cord in such close relation that the winds abut in lateral relation so as to completely form a shoe or slipper body and wholly cover the lining.
In the mostimproved form of my method I preferably utilize a single length of cord andV attach an intermediate portion of such length of cord to one part of the last, at the desired starting point. I have found it advantageous to start at the crown or tip of the vamp, as indicated at 6, to which part I may tack or otherwise secure the intermediate portion of a length of cord.v fThe first wind will be from anchorage point 6 downwardly on the left side of the last and under the same at approximately Vthe juncture of the shank with the ball portion of the sole. This first wind will appear Vat 7 at the right of Fig. l, and will be completed by being extended up to starting point 6. The wind toward the toe will be taken upv from end portion a of the cord whereas the winds toward the heel will be taken up from end portion b of thev cord. The first wind may be tacked or otherwise secured so as to prevent the same fromv slipping and as the next adjacent wind is completed, the two winds may be stitched in abutting relation with respect to each other and, in the most improved form of the method, to the lining 2, so as to hold the cords in place. In Fig. l I have illustra-ted short lines of stitching 8 whereby the last two winds are stitched togetherin lateral abutting relation with respect'to' each other, the' stitching 8 being extended through the lining 2 as indicated in Fig. 8. I may also stitch the winds as indicated at 9 so that adjacent winds of alternate pairs may be connected. By advancingthe toe winds as regards the lower portions with respect tok the' upper portions thereof, the final wind v will be on top of the toe portion so as to permit of the same being readily finished olf.
It will be readily seen from the foregoing end of the shoe body, is indicated at 10 and wind l0 will extend downwardly in lateral abutting relationwith the first wind of the toe end a from the point 6. Thus the first wind 10 of the heel end b willappear on the right side of the last at l1 where it will follow the first wind of the toe end up to a point approximately indicated by where it will turn downwardly, as indicated at l2, and follow the first wind l0. Stitching 13 will securethe first wind around the heel end in lateral abutting relation and the winding will continue until the heel end is covered.
The stitching of the cord to the lining is indicated in the transverse section shown in Fig. Li wherein the lining is indicated at 2, and the ystitching at 8. The twine which is used in stitching the cord to the lining will be of soft material and it ywill be stitched into the lining in such a manner to almost completely embed itself so that the interior of the slipper or shoe will present a smooth soft surface to the foot.
In the iinished article as shown in Fig. 2, a sole 14: and atheel l5 will be attached in any desirable manner but vI desire it to be understood that in some utilities of the invention, for'instance as a house slipper, it may consist wholly of the cord and the lining and the sole and heel may be omitted.
The stitching has been shown in exag* gerated spaced relation for clearness off illustration.
It is believed that the method of my invention has been fully disclosed in the foregoing description so that the advantages and utilities will be clearly understood, and while I have herein shown and described one specific form of the invention, I do not wish to be limited thereto except for such limitations as the claims may import.
I claim l. rIlhe herein described method of `form-V ing a shoe which comprises mounting a lining over a last, winding cord over the lining,
and securing the cord to the lining.
2. The herein described method of forming a shoe body which comprisesmounting o progresses.

with the winds in a lateral abutting.relation.`
to cover the lining, and successively stitch;- ing the winds to veach other and to the lining as the cord is being wound.
5. The herein described method of forming` a shoe body which comprises anchoring a single length of cord tor one portion of a last, windingone end portion ofthe cord around the last.y in one direction, and winding the other end portion of the cord varound the last .in another direction.
6. The herein described method of orniing asshoebody which comprises anchoring an intermediate portion of a single length of cord to the crown `or tip of. the vamp of'y a last, winding one end of the cord about the;y
winding one end of. a cord about the lining` to cover the saine with the winds extending4 in one direction, and winding the other end portion of the cord about the lining with the winds extending linanother direction.
8.- The method of :forming a shoe which comprisesshaping a Vsingle length of Icord over a last by winding the two ends thereof in opposite directions around the last.
9. The herein described method of form-v ing a shoe body which comprises iitting a lining on a last, placing an intermediateV portion of a length; of cord iat a predeter` mined point upon the last, winding one end of thel cord about the lining' to cover the same with the winds exptending'in one direction, winding the oppositesend portion oi f the cord aboutthe lining with'the winds extending in another direction, and securing the winds to each other and `to the lining.
10. The herein described method of forin- -K ing a shoe body which comprises fitting alining upon a last, placing an intermediate portion of a cord at ia predetermined point upon the liningas it covers the last, winding one end of the cord about the liningto cover `the saine with `the winds extending Vin one.y direction, winding the remaining end por-i tion. of the cord about the'liningwith `the.
winds extendingvin the opposite direction,
and fitting the adjacent winds together and to the lining as the winding progresses. o
In testimony whereofI I afiiX my signature in presence of' two witnesses.
