The front end of rod (1 is provided "with a head (7" in which an exlension rod) is adjustably mounted at rightvangies thereto, said rixl'f-being rotatably and a set-screw gheing proi'ided'in said head (Z to hold the rod f in place A 'resnsupporting shank or arn'i. i2 is mounted in 'a head 7" at the lower end of the rod f, and

A heel-rest in the form of an angularly shaped head 7' is mounted on the end of arm 72, and, While it is usuall preferable'tojmount' it on the end of the arm at the left of theoperator;

as he faces'the machine, a rerersal of 'the posltion oft-the parts would be an obv ous Said head is formed to provide a heel-supporting face-y" on its upper side the rear edge j 'thereof. next the abrading face of the Wheel. extending. parallel to the arm h. The left-hand side-edgefextend-s from.'

acute angle therefo. or obliquely to the right, as ltJEXtQIKlS for ward. ina slightly convex line; The left side of the head is cut away obliquely from'the edge 7 forminoa -faee j and the supporfing-face j is inclined v upwardly, with relation .to the arm .11, from the edge ii so that the righohand endofthe rear edge j" is nmterially higher than the left, the face sloping downwardlylfrom the v right-hand rear portion of the head, to the edge 7 the extentof said inclination being such'that when the side of the heel is supported on said face y" the heel will be held in the desired position to'perform the scourmg operation. It may be stated in this connection that -it is desirable that the abrading action 'on the heel shall be, as nearly as possible, in the-direction of the joints be tween the lifts. The faces 3' and j meet with the rear side of the rest in a vertex 3' and, as these faces are arranged at acute angles, said vertex may be termed, for convenience, a projection.

In-practice the restis adjusted so that its rear edge 3'" is a short distance from and approximately parallel to the abrading face 'of the wheel and its supporting-face is a short distance, varying according to conditions, below the level of the center of the I wheel and at such an angle with relation to the adjacent surface of the wheel that it inclines downwardly therefrom. Said rest is also adjusted transversely of the face of the heel tosuch a position that the end of the projection is at a distance from the edge of the wheel face opposite the rest support equal to the thickness of the heelseat or sole to which the heel is attached,-

or the distance from the base of the heel to the upper, see Figs. 2, 3, 4 and ,In using the .device, after the rest has been properly adjusted, the back of the heel supported on the face i of the rest, with 1 the shoe upper in front of the rest as shown,

, zontal position of Fig. 4 and below the level of the upper face 9', the edge of 'its shank would engage said face if the edge j extended perpendicularly to the rear edge y'" Jon account of the pitch of the back side of the heel, which makesit necessary to hold the forepart of the shoe in the right, but,

as the edge 7' and face 7' extending'down ward therefrom, extend obliquely to' the right from the rear edge vjQ-the edge of the shank of the shoe will engage said oblique edge and be'forced to the left, as the forepart is swung down, so that the end of vertex will bear on the shank close to the breast of the heel. As the distance from the end of vertex 7' to the adjacent edge of the abrading face is equal to the thickness of the heel-seat, said vertex will act as a guard permitting the heel-seat to be scoured.

. close to the-upper, and preventing actual engagement of the upper with the wheel.

' As the shoe forepart is sw'ungdown itwil-l also be swung beneath the rest, as indicated'in Fig. 2, the operator being permitted to hold the shoe at any necessary angle according tothe pitch of the heel and also to cause the scouring wheel to act on the heel approximately in the direction of the edges 'ofthe lifts. The edge 7' face j and the vertex j all have practically the same function, which is to act as shank-engaging portions for pressing the shoe laterally and for holding the upper out of contact with the wheel, and, as said edge and vertex are boundaries of the face j they may be considered as one element.

The rest is so adjusted that its height and the angular relation of its upper surface j to the wheel is such thatwhen the forepart of the shoe is swung downward and rearward until the breast of the heel rests evenly on the surface 7', beyond which position the shoe cannot be so readily swung, the portion of the upper in front of the shank will be held out of contact with the wheel, as shown in the position of Fig. ,1, so that damage to this portion of the shoe, which might otherwise be caused, is prevented. When the shoe is swung to this position, the side of the heel will have become scoured up to the breastand the operation will be finished. The handling of the shoe in performing the scouring operation is thus not only not interfered with, as the shoe may be moved to all necessary positions while supported on the rest, but accidental damage of the shoe is prevented, and, as a firm rest for the heel is provided, ridges will not be formed in the heel but it will be more smoothly and rapidly finished, with less exertion on the part of the operator than if the device were not employed.

I claim 1. In a heel-scouring machine having a scouring-wheel provided with a' peripheral abrading-face', a support at one side of said wheel, a heel-rest mounted on said support and having a shank-engaging portion extending to a point at a distance from the edge of said face opposite to said support corresponding th the thickness of the sole of the shoe, said portion having a heel-supporting face on its upper side and a shank- 'engaging edge extending from its end transversely of and obliquely from said abradingface, and being recessed beneath said supporting face from said edge as and for the ,purpose set forth.

2. In a heel-scouring machine having a scouring-wheel provided with a peripheral:

abrading-face, a support atone side of said wheel, a heel-rest mounted on said support having a heel-supporting face on its upper side, extending transversely. of said abrading-face adjacent thereto andterminated in an obliquely disposed shank-engaging edge ruminating .nt :1 rustzmuu from the adjacent edge of said abifmjlingfucc c01yesp0nd-- ing' to the thickness of the bee at of the shoe "(0 provlde 0. 51121111, and 55nd supgorb mg-i'ace belng 11101111051 u mmdly fmm 51nd 0ngggn' 1g edge and d1 m1dc1r 0i 11st belng cut away from said engagingin testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this. specification, in the presence of two subscnlinng xntnesses.
