provements in cushion heels for boots or shoes, and has for its object to so construct an article of this character that the same can be easily and quickly applied to a heel.
Afurther object, of the invention is to provide a device of this character so constructed that it can be sold at a very small cost, and can be applied by any one not familiar with the art .of shoemaking. p
With these and other objects in view, this invention resides in the novel features of construction, formation, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter morev fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a bottom plan view of the device showing it in place upon a heel. Fig. 2 is a sectional view on line 2-2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a similar view on line 33 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a similar view on line 44 of Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawing, the numeral-1- designatesthe usual leather heel of a boot or shoe, and 2 the cushion heel which is formed from suitable rubber and is molded to correspond to the shape of the heel 1.
A steel plate 3 is embedded in-the heel 2, near the upper surface thereof, said plate being provided with openings 4 which receive portions of the material of the heel 2 and assist in holdingthe plate in place, itbeing ofcourse understood that the plate is embedded in the heel during the molding I process. v p
The plate 3 1s concavo-convex 1n cross section and is provided with a slot 5, through which is adapted to pass the elongated head 6 formed upon the end of the screw 7, said screw being engaged with the heel 1 befor application of the heel 2.
Formed in the heel 2 and near the for ward edge thereof is a bore 8 which registers with one of the openings 4 formed in said plate, said bore and opening being engaged by a screw 9, which serves to attachthe' forward end of the heel 2 to the heel 1.
I The head 6 of the screw '7' is arranged transversely of the heel 1 and is spaced a slight distance from the lower surface thereof, so that when it is desired to apply the heel-2 the slot 5 formed. in the plate 3 is en- :gaged with the head (Sand is then swung so that said slot and head will be arrangedat right anglesto each other,and as the plate is concavo-convexin cross section the concavity thereof will tend to more firmly bind the plate and head, thus forcing the upper surface of the heel 2 in tight'engagement with the lower surface of the heel 1, after which the screw 9 is applied.
What is claimed is In combinationwith a heelof' a bootor shoe having a screw connected thereto, said screw having an elongated head -arranged transversely of said heel, a rubber heel having a plate embedded therein," said plate having a slot formed therein and adapted to permit passage of said'head therethrough," whereby said rubberheel is swung so that said head is arranged atright angles to the slot, the forward end of the rubber heel having a bore. formed therein, and a securing device engageable in said bore. and passed through said .platefor' engaging the first named heel.
In testimony whereof, I, afiix my ture, in the presence of two witnesses.
