TED s'rA'rEs PA'rn one ENOCH 1. MEAD, 0F SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH.
SOLE AND HEEL PLATE.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ENooH P. MEAD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Salt Lake City, in the county of Salt Lake and State of Utah, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sole and Heel Plates, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to sole and heel plates, and the purpose is to provide a metal plate which may be easily attached to the heel or sole of a shoe to prevent excessive wear on said heel or sole at the point where most wear occurs to each shoe, and one that may be attached when the shoe is being made or at any time thereafter as a repair.
These objects I accomplish with the device illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which similar letters of reference in dicate like parts throughout the several fig ures.
Figure 1 is a view of the bottom of a shoe with some of the plates attached to the heel and some to the sole. Fig. 2 is an enlarged plan view of the metal disk as cut to form the plate before it is bent into form. Fig. 3 is an enlarged plan of the plate after it is bent into form. Fig. 4: is an enlarged vertical section of the plate on line m w of Fig. 3.
As is well known many persons wear away parts of the heels of their shoes, causing the shoe to run over and become unsightly; others cause excessive wear to parts of the .sole and the shoe may leak therethrough when if that particular portion of the sole was protected the wearing qualities of the shoe would be vastly improved and many devices have been used to prevent such partial wear.
My device is one that may be used on any tread portion of the sole or heel to prevent such partial wear, and consists of a metal disk A, having the periphery thereof cut to form securing points B. The center of said disk A is removed or cut out forming an Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed June 20, 1911.
Patented June 18, 1912.
Serial No. 634,310.
edge C concentric with the tips of the said points B. The said disk A is then pressed into the form shown in Figs. 3 and 4:, when it is ready for use on the shoe. The said point-s B are driven into the leather of the heel or sole and do not sever or out said leather enough to make it weak or liable to break out or wear away by reason of such cutting. The said edge G is made to contact with the leather and the portion of the periphery of said disk A between the points B also contacts with said leather thus forming a suction chamber between the plate and the leather that aids in holding the said plate on the shoe. If desired a short tack or nail may be driven through the plate to aid in holding it in place. The surface of the said plate thus presented for wear is small and circular in form and any number may be used. For rough wear, such as mountain boots or shoes are subjected to, the lightness of the weight of the metal and the shortness of the retaining points and form of my plate supply the ideal tack for the entire bottom of the sole and heel, one by which the cold is not conducted to the foot of the wearer, yet presenting the desired roughened surface of the shoe to the earth.
Having thus described my invention I desire to secureby Letters Patent and claim A sole and heel plate comprising a metal disk bent to form a semi-cylindrical annulus having securing points formed integrally on the outer edge thereof and having the inner-edge bent to form a suction chamber between said metal annulus and the tread of a shoeewhen said securing points are driven into said tread.
In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
ENOGH P. MEAD.
