` SLIPPER yApplication filed May 12, 1928. Serial No. 277,158.

This invention rela-tes to improvements in f to provide a Washable slipper havin@ temporary sole, the solc which lends rigidity to the slipper being removable when the slipper itself is Washed. o

Further objects oit the invention will be apparent from the specilication and drawn ings in which Fig. l is a top plan view olf my improved slipper'.

Fig. 2 is a side view. Fig, 3 is a sectional view along the line 2 2 of Fig. l.

F1 fl is a sectional view of the rear porwith the.

tion Vof the base of the slipper temporary sole in place.

Fig. 5 is a bottomplan vieW of ythe slipper with the temporary sole in place.

Fig. 6 is a plan view of the temporary sole alone.

Fig. 7 is a sectional view along the line 77 of Fig. 6.

Fig. 8 is a plan view of the pocket in the base of the slipper at the toe portionthereof.

Fig. 9 is a plan view of the base of the slipper at the heel portion thereof.

rEhe upper fabric portion of the slipper is represented by A, the base by B, the binding on the upper as C, the binding on the base as D. 0n the underside of the base at the toe and heel portions thereof, are positioned two pockets, the pocket at the toe portion being designated as E and at the heel portion as F. Into these pockets may be iitted the temporary sole, H, which may be made oit cardboard, cork or' similar rigid material, and need not be Washable.

@ne of the advantages of putting this sole on the 'eXteriorfo-f the slipper rather than on the inside thereof, is the fact that slippers oit this character are usually employed to cover feet unprotected by socks and it is therefore an advantage for the naked feet to Contact With the fabric of the slipper rather than with the material of which the temporary sole may be composed, suoli as glazed cardboard or a similar material.

My improved slipper is constructed in thek following manner: y

I take a Washable fabric, preferably cotton, and form the top and the base thereof Separately of a single piece of fabric. Two operations sui'lice for the making of the slipper a'lfter the cutting of a pattern therefor; one operation to` sew the binding for the top; the second and final operation to sew the binding lor the base including the sewing or' the pockets on the toe and heel portion of theslipper on the underside ol the base. The operation of sewing the binding on the base includes the attachment of the upper portion of the base, as Well as the attachment or the pockets on the underside,

o' the base.

I am aware that slippers have been heretotore constructed With temporary soles but believe it is newr to make a slipper of the construction herein shown with a sole entirely removable and functioning on the underside of the base of the slipper.

Having fully described my invention, Wh at I claim is:

A fabric slipper having separate pockets on the underside of the base and at opposite ends thereof and a rigid removable sole positioned in said pockets, the middle portion of said sole being normally exposed on the underside of said slipper.

In testimony whereof I aliix my signa-ture.

MAX A. HOHENSTEIN.
