Function of this invention.

The user grasps the shoehorn with the right or left hand at the ball handle part 11, then the spoon part part 21 is placed on the inside of the shoe back, now the pull button part 15 with the middle finger or and finger 4 pulled towards the ball handle, thereby the Clamping lever part 20 pressed against the back of the shoePart 21 serves as a counterholder hereby a clamping effect is created, now the shoe can be transported.

The pull button part 15 remains pulled up until the transport process is finished, As soon as the fingers 3 and/or fingers 4 are removed from the pull knob part 15, the Clamping effect is released and the clamping lever is moved by means of compression spring part 13 in Returned to starting position.

Claims (1)

Protective measures. Shoehorn with clamping device for transporting shoes in an upright posture. This shoehorn is characterized by the following construction parts and their function. To hold the shoehorn, there is a plastic ball handle D 36 mm (11) which is mounted in an aluminum tube A diameter 16 mm and 580 mm or 730 mm long in the aluminum tube upper part (12). The aluminum tube (12) is available in at least two of the above-mentioned lengths. This aluminum tube is provided with two grooves, at the upper end of the tube below the ball handle (11) there is a groove (pipe opening) 35 mm long and 5 mm wide and the second groove 18 mm long and 5 mm wide is present at the lower end of the aluminum tube, these are intended for the assembly of the PVC pull knob (15) and the steel clamping lever (20). At the lower end of the aluminum tube (12) there is the aluminum holder (18) D-16 mm, mounted using a clamping pin, provided with a 3 mm wide slot and a hole for an M 5 fastening screw. This aluminum holder (18) is used to attach the aluminum spoon part (13) 140 mm long, 46 mm wide and 3 mm thick, the aluminum spoon part (13) is locked in the slot of the holder (18) and screwed tight using an M5 slotted screw At the same time, the aluminum swivel bearing (19) D-16mm is screwed onto the back of the aluminum holder (18) at an angle of 90 degrees (to the tube axis) using the M 5 slotted screw mentioned above. The aluminum swivel bearing (19) D-16mm with slot, M 5 thread - hole and D-4mm dowel pin hole, is used for the movable mounting of the steel clamping lever (20) which is movably mounted with a steel dowel pin D-4mm x 16 mm long. The complete steel clamping lever has the function of creating the clamping effect on the back of the bucket (21), is welded together from three steel parts, a steel clamping tab that is adapted to the radius of the back of the bucket (21) is welded to the lower end of the 5mm thick steel rod, the steel bearing tab is welded on approx. 125mm upwards, the upper end of the rod is bent 90 degrees by approx. 40mm. The steel clamping lever (20) is inserted at the 90 degree bent rod end through the lower pipe slot (12) into the hole of the aluminum clamping slide (17) D-10mmx35mm long located inside the aluminum pipe, The lower movable clamping slide (17) is connected to the upper movable aluminum slide (14) D-10mmx35mm long by a steel connecting rod D-5mm x 470mm long or 620mm long. -2- The PVC pull button (15) D-16mmx35nm long is screwed through the upper pipe slot (12) into the upper aluminum slider (14). This pull button has the function of triggering the clamping mechanism when pulled up in the direction of the ball handle (11) and thereby creating the required clamping effect^between the aluminum spoon part back (21) and the steel clamping lever tab (20) which is necessary for transporting shoes. The steel compression spring (13) D-10mmx50mm long, located between the ball handle (11) and the upper aluminum slider (14) inside the upper aluminum tube end, has the function of pushing the PVC pull button (15) back down when it is released, thereby returning the clamping mechanism to its original position and canceling the clamping effect.
