SHOE LAST.

ATPLIUATION FILED JUNE 7, 1912.

Patented Sept. 22, 1914.

, Be 't known that I, J OHN PAoELIiI, a citi To all whom co h cerai zen of the'United States, and resident of the borough of Brooklyn, inthecity and State of New York, have inventeda jnew and useful Improvement in Shoe-Lasts, of which the following is'a specification:

My inventlon relates, to an improvement; in shoe lasts and more: particularly to the construction of the heel wherea coiisiderablex 1 amount of pounding and hammering takes place in affixingthe heel of the shoe to the sole, or when burnishingfetc the same.

The'object of m invention is 'to provide" a'shoe last that W111 withstand this poundmg without cracking onsplitting, at the same time relieving, the Blast supporting thimble-frorn the shock of the blow. y A- practical: embodiment of my .invention is represented in the accompanying drawings, in which,

Figure 1 represents a plan view of ashoe last with the heel plate partly broken: away, and Fig. 2 represents a side elevation-of the same, partly in section. .7

The hoe last,which is of the usual form,

is provided witha socket 4 for the reception of a last supporting thimble 4* which is of usual construction and well known in the -The heelfportion 2" is provided with cavity 5 in which is placed aslightly re-j silient material 6, such, for. instance, (as a leather, felt, vfiber,hardrubloer or any sub-"1 Stance thavhasa slightdegree of resiliency.

In the present instance I have shownthemashown at 7. It will be understoodthat while I have showntwo layers cemented together,

I may use. only one piece cementedin the cavity, or several layers maybe used with or without cement In using the resilient com position-between the layers or inthe cavity,

I find it advantageous touse a harderuand less resilient material than when there is no position will afford of itselffa very consider-' able degree of resiliency. jIn marl may "employ material of such' hardness as tobe practically non-resilient in combination with the resilient adhesive]; comp sition,

y I 'l lo icov er protect the cavity and ma terlal, a heel plate 8 of metal or other de-' sired material may be provided, which plate may be secured to the heel by "means of screws 9.; The heel plate 8 may also be provided with a hole 10, through which the lasting tacks are driven. Thus it will be ,seen' that-with myimprovedshoe last, any amount of pounding or hammering given to the heel willbeabsorbed by the resilient material 6 in the cavity 5, thereby relievin the shoe last of all shock or jar that woul andresilientmaterial 6 may be made larger or smaller according to the size .ofthe last,

also the cavity may as round or square. v
