CAMILLO KRAMER, OF ALBANY, NEW YORK.
SHOE-FASTENER.
Application filed January 24, 1912.
' Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 25,1913.
Serial No. 673,127.
To all wit-0m z't may concern Be it known that I, CAMILLO KRAMER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Albany, in the county of Albany and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shoe-Fasteners, of which the following is a specifica tion.
My invention relates to shoe fastenings and the objects of my invention are to construct a new and improved shoe fastener which will be substantial in use, easily operated, cheaply constructed and of attractive appearance and by the use of which the shoe may be fastened and unfastened quickly and easily by one operation. These objects are accomplished by means of the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying draw ings in which Figure 1 is a perspective view showing my fastener applied to the shoe and in a partially open position. Fig. :2 is, a perspective view of the left side piece which is in tended to be attached permanently to the shoe. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the left side slide or lace holder. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the rivet forming a pivot for the lower ends of the slides and a projecting head forming a hand piece for opening the shoe. Fig. 5 is a detail of the spring ring used for closing the shoe and assisting in holding it closed.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
Referring to the drawings, A represents a shoe.
B, B represents side pieces permanently attached to the shoe by rivets or by any suitable means one on each side of the front opening of the shoe and forming grooves or slide-ways for the slides C, C to operate in.
C, C are slides adapted to operate in the slide-ways of the stationary side pieces B, B. The slides O, C have hooks D, D of any suitable construction to retain the shoe laces or other elastic material for holding the shoe closed.
E is the shoe lace which is preferably made of rubber or round rubber cord.
The two side pieces B, B are joined together by a rivet at the lower ends and the upper ends are closed as by turning the top plate over as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 to prevent the slides C, C from sliding up too high. The side pieces B, B are also provided with stops F, F extending upward from the lower portions and arranged and adapted to stop the upper end of the slides C, C from passing down too far.
The slides C, C are connected at. the lower ends by the rivet and pivot G so constructed that the upper part of the pivot Gr projects upward and forms a hand piece for the operator to press down upon in moving theslides downward for opening the shoe.
H is a spring ring for attaching the upper ends of the slides C, O and arranged and adapted for the operator to take hold of in pulling the slides upward in closing the shoe. The spring ring H is also adapted to assist in holding the slides in position and holding the shoe closed.
The operation of my shoe fastener is as follows :The side pieces B, B are permanently attached to the sides of the front opening of the shoe in such a manner as to leave a free slide-way for, the slides C, C. The slides C, C are attached slidably in the slide-ways of the side pieces B, B. The lacing E, made of elastic material, is adjusted to close the shoe snugly and evenly when the shoe is upon the foot and the slides C, G are occupying the entire upper portions of the slide-ways in the side pieces B, B. The spring ring H is then adjusted to the upper ends of the slides C, G. In this position the shoe is closed on the foot ready to be worn. When it is desired to remove the shoe, the finger is pressed upon the projection or hand piece G and the slides (l, C pushed downward to the position shown in Fig. 1 or until the top of the slides C, C meet the stops F, F. The shoe may then be removed from the foot and when placed upon the foo-t the ring H is taken by the hand or finger and the slides (l, C pulled upward until the shoe is closed. Constructed in this way the shoe is instantly unfastened to be taken ofi or instantly fasltfened snugly and evenly when put on the oot.
What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,
1. A shoe fastener consisting of metallic strips slidably attached at the sides of the opening of the shoe, elastic connections connecting said side strips, a pivot connecting the lower ends of said strips forming a handle for operating the said slides downwardly and a bail connecting the upper ends of said strips by means of which said slides may be operated upwardly.
2. A shoe fastener consisting of slideways permanently attached to the sides of the opening of the shoe, strips slidably adjusted to said slide-ways, elastic material connecting said strips and a pivot connecting the lower ends of said strips forming a handle for sliding said strips in said slide-Ways Without removing the elastic connections.
3. A shoe fastener consisting of metallic strips attached to the sides of the opening of the shoe forming slide-ways, strips adapted to slide in said slideways, hooks connected with said strips adapted to hold lacings, lacings connecting said side strips, stops at tached to said slide-ways adapted to prevent said strips from sliding out of said slide-ways a pivot connecting the lower ends of said strips forming a handle for operating the said slides downwardly and a 20 GAMILLO KRAMER.
