UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE RUBBER SOLE AND HEEL Walter L. Pipes, Elizabeth, N. J., assigner to United States Rubber Products, Inc., New York, N. Y., a corporation of Delaware Application June 13, 1936, Serial No. 85,072 6 claims. (cl. 36-59i` My invention relates to rubber soles and heels, surfaces of the sole and heel.

Incisions thereof by the provision of small slits in the are preferably made after the footwear is vul- 5 ground engaging surfaces thereof. canized by a cutting operation, such as by a 5 It is well known that footwear having rubber sharp knife or very thin saw which removes sub heels and/or soles may become very slippery stantially no material.

The spacing of material to a narrow slot such as is formed by the incisions depends somewhat upon the thicka thin saw and in which some material is removed ness of the rubber to which it is applied, although but which is still sufficiently narrow so that the 'a spacing range of from 1/8 inch to 1 inch is side Walls engage to mutually support each other contemplated.

A transverse serrated path is formed by the blocks intersecting sides lying next to and intersecting a transverse line extending generally in the transverse direction and passing through diagonally opposite corners of several adjacent blocks. The several serrated paths so formed are of course longer than the paths formed by straight slits shown in Figs. 1 to 3 and when the sharp corners of the slits in the serrated paths tilt up under the pressure of the foot wearing the shoe, a greater length of the gripping edge is exposed to the supporting surface.
Referring to Fig. 6, there is shown a combined sole and heel M in which longitudinally extending grooves l5 are originally molded. If desired the grooves i5 may extend through the margin of the surface of the tread of the sole and heel portion. Transverse incisions `l intersect the grooves i5 so that relatively short pads are provided for squeezing out the liquid lm from between the rubber surface and the pavement. Such a design of the combined sole and heel is particularly useful for very heavy service boots such as hunting and miners boots.
Fig. 7 illustrates a sole l1 having transverse incisions i8. Fig. 8 illustrates a heel i9 having transverse incisions 20, made within the outer margin 2i, and Fig. 9 illustrates a heel provided with longitudinal grooves or slots 22 and transverse incisions 23 which extend entirely across the face of the heel and through the outside margin. In Fig. 9 a circular groove 24 is formed in the face of the heel within which an insignia may be placed. The heels illustrated in Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 may be secured to the shoe by nails extending through holes, such as the holes 25 shown i'n Fig. 9.
By applying the incisions to heels the jar experienced with walking is materially reduced as the sub-sections of the wearing surface are free to adjust themselves to the inequalities of the worn heel or ground surface and/or load so that a more uniform overall pressure is obtained than is usually obtained where a less exible body of rubber is employed for the heel.
While I have illustrated and described several designs or patterns of incisions, it will be understood that other patterns may be used within the spirit of the invention and with equally good results. The several modifications of the invention are all characterized by the application of incisions, either so narrow as to be substantially invisible, or so that the opposite walls normally engage, which result in squeezing of a liquid film from between the rubber surface and the ground thereby insuring a better contact between the rubber surface and the ground surface. Such constructions are particularly useful where the fotowear is used in Wet and slimy places. 'Ihe application of the invention to heels also reduces the jarring. By reason of the subdivision of the wearing surface into small units, these units are free to flex slightly and accommodate themselves to unevennesses in the ground surface or inequalities of the imposed load without slipping or scuiiing thereby giving the footwear better wearing characteristics.
The flexing action is advantageous in wet places, because when the tread surface is applied to a wet supporting surface, a film of liquid is between the two surfaces and reduces the friction therebetween. The tendency of the tread surface to move over vthe supporting surface, under the pressure of the foot, causes the sections of the tread surface between the incisions to tilt up as they iiex and expose the relative sharp corners of the sections along the edges of the incisions to the supporting surface. This action brings the corners or sharp edges of the incisions in direct contact with the supporting surface to `provide gripping surfaces and forms recesses between the tilted up tread sections and the supporting surface for the film of liquid to be squeezed into. The various patterns of incisions may be made in a sole and/or heel having a smooth or uneven surface, examples of the latter are the grooves i5 in Fig. 6, or they may be made in surfaces having various designs.
While I have shown and described present preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that the invention may otherwise be vembodied within the spirit thereof and the scope of the appended claims.
