it .known4 that l, CnamnsP. Kuren- LEY citizenrof the United States, residing in ineland, New Jerscy,haveinvented certain which Athe following 'is a' specitication. object of'my invention is to provide an: ornamental structurelfor attachment to a shoe, which, whi1e being neat and attractive in a pearance, shall be inexpensivegto make, of such constructionas to permit of its being easily and, quickly vapplied to, or removed from the shoe.v These objects and other advantageous ends ,ll secure as hereinafter set forth, reference had to the accompanying avvinfv in which;

erableifor the ornaments shown in Figs. 1,

3, l2'and 13. Two pieces 3 and 4 of stiftening material such as buckram are then mounted immediately adjacent the opposite faces of the .metal piece 1, and said pieces are preferably, but not necessarily made to have the outline of the finished ornament.

"lhepiece 4 is provided with a pair of slits' or apertures 5 through which may be passe-'d the flexible tongues 2 of the metalpiece 1. In making up the ornament shown '1n Figs. 1, 3 and 4, there is further provided alength 6 of some ornamental material such as leather, ribbon or the like of the general shape indicated in Fig. 8 and provided at its opposite ends with apertures 7. There is further provided a second piece 8 of ornamental materialof the general form shown in Fig. 9v and in assembling the various parts the le h 6 is extended over one `face of vthe sti enin piece 3, and the metal piece 1 with the sti against said piece 3; the tongues 2 being passed through the apertures 5 of said piece 4. The ends of the piece 6 are then passed around the ends of the stitfening pieces 3 `and 4 and the tongues 2 are passed through the apertures 7 thereof, after which the second iece 8 of ornamental material is extended) across the middle portion of the outer face of the piece 6. The ends of said piece 8 are brought around the edges of the piece 6 and are turned toward each otheracross the'` under surface of the ornament body between the projectingtongues 2, after which they may be sewed or otherwise fastened together as shown in Figs. 3 and 16,

making the complete ornament. The latter may then be bent into a curved shape to make it ,conform to theshoe to which itis attached and it is connected to the vamp portion ofsaid shoe, by passing said tongues through theA apertures a." therein. Thereafter said tongues are bent toward each other so as to lie flat against the inside of the shoe as indicated in Fig. 4 so that they hold the ornament securely in place. desired a tongue 17 of ornamental material may be mounted on the projecting tongues 2 ,between the ornament proper and the vamp portion of the shoe, though it may be omitted without departing from my invention.

In making ornaments similar to that shown in Fig. 10 I provide a body yportion consisting of two pieces3 and 4 of stilienening piece 4 are then placed( ing material and mount between them 'ai piece 1a of relatively st-iif yet flexible sheet metal which as before is provided with tongues 2. These areupassed through the apertures 5 in said piece 4 and the latter' is then sewed or otherwise permanently at; t-ached to the ,stillening piece 3a. f

Some form of ornamental fabric. 1 0 is attached to or mounted on the outer faceofy thev stiiiening piece 3a, the completed ornaiently attached to, or detached from a shoe such as shown in Fig. 2. In this connection it will be noted that the body of the metal` piece 1\.l serves to hold down the end portions of the ornamental'material and thereby obviates tbe necessity of fastening said ends to the shoe by sewing orother means.

In that form of ornament shown in Fig. 13, one of the stift'ening pieces has the form indicated at 4b and the other is replaced by a piece of ornamental material 12 of generally similar shape. Both the piece of stiiiening material and the ornamental piece 12 are notched at about their middle points, and the stiffening piece 4b is provided with apertures 5 for the passage of the tongues 2 of the sheet metal piece 2a. The piece 12 which maybe of leather` or other suitable material, is mounted directly back of a frame 13 in the form of an ornamental buckle body and'is notched at 14 so as to fit around the ends of a bar 15', extending transversely across the back of the frame 13 to which it is attached at its ends, and oftset so as to be spaced away from same. The piece of sti'lening material Q is likewise notched as indicated at 16 and with the metal piece 2il and the piece of ornamental material 12its against the back face of the buckle frame 13 and under the transverse bar 15. The two pieces 12 and' @are held in place by said transverse bar while the metal piece 2a is held in place by reason of the 'engagement of its flexible tongues 2 with said stiffening piece where they through its apertures 5. In this instance I have shown an ornamentalton e 17 held to the back of the structure ma eV up of the pieces 4b, 2 and 12, by means of the flexible members 2; which are passed through suitable slits or apertures in the same.

While in Flg. 3 I have shown'the flexible tongues-2 as holding together the ends of the ornamental piece 6, with the ends of the ornamental piece 8 merely extended between them, I may as shown in Fig. 16, so proportion the parts that the ends of this second ornamentalpiece 8 shall be engaged and held together by these same tongues 2, which in such case would be provided with slits or apertures for the passage of the latter. The over-lapping end of the piece 8 would prefjmeans.

pass

otherfend by stitching or other suitable tongue 17 may also. be attached to orna- It is obvious that the ornamentalA "era-bly be held to the adjacent part of the of said tongue, thus adding to the general i appearance. of the ornament.

I claim-` 1. s.A shoe ornament, consisting of abody of stiflening material; a covering of flexible ornamental material for said body with asnetal plate concealed between the stiifening material andthe ornamental material; said metal plate having projectingv portions passing through thematerial of the ornament for attaching the -same to a shoe.

2. A shoe ornament, consisting of a body of stiii'ening material; a covering of {lexible ornamental material for said body; with a metal plate concealed between the stiftening material and the ornamental material; said metal plate having projecting portions ,passing ,through the material of the ornament for attaching the saine to a shoe, with a separable ornamental tongue held in place by said projecting portions of the metal plate.

3. A shoejornament consisting of a layer of stiii'ening material; a metal 'plate lying adjacent thereto and having project-ing tongues passingV through said stiifening material; and a length of flexible ornamental ymaterial extended over the cover piece of lstiifening material; having its ends bent around the combined pieces of stitt'ening material and metal plate and engaging the projecting tongues of the metal plate.

5. A shoe ornament consisting of two pieces of stiliening material; a metal plate mounted between said pieces and having projecting tongues extending through one of the same; a length of flexible ornamental material extending over and aroundV saidv pieces of stitl'ening material and having its ends secured in vplace by engagement with the projecting tongues of said metal plate;

with a second piece of ornamental material extending across the outer face of the structure havlng its ends brought around the same and turned toward each other; the projecting tongues of the metal plate en gaging said ends to hold them together.
