IMPROVEMENT IN ADJUSTABLE INSOLE-S LIPPERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No.

149,993, dated April 21, 1874; application filed August 13, 1873.

To all 107mm it may concern.

Be it known that we, D. S. COLE and W. H. CUNDIFF, of Leroy, inthe countyof McLean and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Adjustable Insole'Slippers and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a view of the slipper-pattern. Fig. 2 is a side view of the slipper.

This invention has relation to in sole-slippers and consists in? forming the slipper from a single piece of sheepskin, cloth, or other suitable material, cut to the pattern hereinafter described, and shown in the drawings, so as to produce seams which, when stitched, will cause the slipper to fit the foot closely, and

. allow a shoe to be easily worn.

Referring to the drawing, A designates the pattern, having the edges A A O 0 out inwardly toward each other and to the central longitudinal fold of the pattern, in the--1nanner plainly indicated in the drawing. The edges A A, when united, form the toe, while the edges 0 0, when united, form the heel. From the heel part of the pattern to a point about midway between the former and the toe part the sides of the pattern are cut as shown at a, to form the opening for the reception of the foot. Between the forward end of said opening and the toe of the slipper are cut out the angular slits B B, the two edges of each of which are sewed together, forming trans verse seams, as shown at D, Fig. 2, and de= signed to give proper shape to the front of the slipper.

The central toe-seam, it will be observed,

extends from the forward end of the slipper opening to a point on the under part or sole, nearly on a line with the lower ends of the transverse se. ms.

7 Having fully described our improvement, we

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent As anew article of manufacture, the insoleslipper formed from a single piece of sheepskin, or equivalent, havin g the inwardly-curved DANIEL S. COLE. IVILLIAM H. UUNDIFF.
