ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to cloth slippers, and in particular to a novel construction and a method of making such cloth slippers.
In the past, most cloth slippers have been made from specially shaped blanks requiring special manufacturing processes to prepare the blanks. Where a generally rectangular blank has been used, such as in U.S. Pat. No. 2,041,505, issued on May 19, 1936, to K. F. Woerle, the heel portion has been left open and snap fasteners have been used to temporarily hold a slipper shape.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a permanent slipper made from a rectangular blank. The slipper of the present invention is economical to make, completely encloses a foot, and has pleasing ornamental embodiments. The blank used is made from a washable fabric and economically manufactured in quantities. The blank used may be a simple wash cloth. An attractive slipper constructed according to the principles of the present invention may be made at home quickly, easily and economically with a minimum of materials and sewing skills.
These together with other objects of the invention, along with various features of novelty which characterize the invention, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed hereto and forming a part of this disclosure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and the specific objects attained by its uses, reference should be had to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which there is illustrated a preferred embodiment of the invention.
