Nov. 24, 1931. M. FEINSTEIN SHOE LINING Filed Feb. 12, 1950 INVENTOR MAX FEINSTEIN ATTORN EY Patented Nov. 24, 1931 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE MAX FEINSTEIN, OF. CORONA, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO CHARLES MILLER, OF LONG ISLAND CITY, NEW YORK SHOE LINING Application filed February 12, 1930. Serial No. 427,695.

This invention relates to the shoe art and deals more specifically with a frictional lin ing for the heel portion of a shoe.

It is an object of this invention to provide a shoe having a lining containing, as an integral portion thereof, a frictional section at the heel. i

It is a further object of this invention to provide a shoe having a lining which conforms correctly and smoothly to the interior oftheshoe with a minimum of looseness and wrinkling.

Further, it is an object of this invention to provide a shoe having a lining in which there is embodied a frictional section, and which lining is adapted to conform accurately to the interior of the shoe.

These and other objects of the invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:

Fig. 1 is a plan view of a shoe embodying the present invention, certain elements of the shoe bein turned back for the purposes of illustration;

Fig. 2 is a view similar to that of Fig. 1 showing the turned back portions in place;

Fig. 4 is a fragmentary detailed View of a lining embodying the principles of the present invention; and r Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line 3-3 of Fig. 4.

Referring in detail to the drawings, the shoe 10 is seen to comprise the usual upper 11, and insole 12. The lining 13, which may be formed of the usual materials, is provided with inserts 14 and 15 which are sewed to the lining 13 by lines of stitching 16 and 17 as shown more clearly in Fig. 4. The linin 13 is held together by the line of stitching 18. Except for the stitching 18 the two halves of the lining areunattached to each other. The material used for the inserts 14 and 15 may be of any well known frictional material now commonly used in the art, but preferably of a thin flexible leather with the skin side positioned for contact with the wearers foot.

In practicing the present invention a lining of the standard form is provided with the inserts as described above and is sewed in place in the shoe with the overlapping adjacent free edges of the inserts as shown in the drawings. During the finishing operation of the shoe the overlapping edges of the inserts are smoothed down and the insole 12 placed thereover. While this invention has been described in connection with a shoe having an insole, it will be understood, of course, that this invention is particularly applicable to shoes manufactured in accordance with the turn process in which event the member 12 would be a sock lining instead of an insole. As a matter of fact, in actual practice this invention has been found most suitable in connection with the turn process for the reason that after the shoe is turned it is possible completely to smooth out the lining on the inside of the shoe.

It will be readily understood, of course, that various modifications of the present invention will readily suggest themselves to those skilled in the art. This invention, therefore, is not to be limited to the specific details of structure disclosed except as defined in the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

1. In a shoe, a lining therefor, said lining having inserts at the heel portion thereof, said inserts being free from each other along two adjacent marginal edges, and adapted to overlap when in place in the shoe.

2. In a shoe, a lining therefor, said lining having inserts at the heel portion thereof, said inserts being free from each other along two adjacent marginal edges and being of a material having a frictional surface for contact with the wearers foot, and adapted to overlap when in place in the shoe.

3. In a shoe. a lining therefor, the heel portion of said lining having a frictional surface for engaging the heel of the wearer, and the said heel portion having two adjacent free edges adapted to lie in overlapping relation when said lining is placed in the shoe.

4. In a shoe, a lining having two portions joined together at the heel portion of the said shoe, said lining also having at the heel por tion a cut-out section, and inserts of material attached to said lining at said cut-out section, said inserts having'a frictional surface and having their adjacent ends overlapped and free of stitching When in place in the shoe.

5. In a shoe, a lining'therefor, an insole,

the said. lining comprising two portions joined together. at the heel portion of said shoe from a point' at the top of said lining to a point intermediate ofthe top and bottom of said lining, the adj acent edges of said lin ing between said last inentioned point-and the bottom of said lining lying in overlapped v relation in the'shoe as assembled, and said overlapped edges being free of stitching.
