SHE)E-SHININGr KIT.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I FRANK J. SToLLn, a citizen of the United tates, residing at Fort Thomas, in the county of Campbell and State of Kentucky, have invented new and useful Improvements in Shoe-Shining Kits, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in portable shoe shining kits, and is particularly adapted for home and office use.
My device is made of metal throughout, is very light and inexpensive to manufacture, and yet when set up for use is rigid and firm. Suitable receptacles are provided for all the necessary brushes and blacking. When set up for use, the device has a broad, firm base, well braced, and when collapsed for carrying, the whole kit is very compact and is not liable to get out of order. N 0 parts are detachable. Therefore there is nothing to be lost and the time consumed in setting it up for use or letting it down for carrying, is but a few seconds, requires no skill and but one operation.
In the particular embodiment of my invention selected for illustration Figure 1 is a side elevation of the shoe shining kit set up ready for use, with the brushes and blacking box in position; Fig. 2 is an elevation of the device without brushes and blacking box, collapsed ready for carrying, with parts shown sectionalized; Fig. 3 is a detail of the bottom piece; Fig. 4, a detail, is a top plan view of the sliding ring that holds the feet, with spring catch removed, legs partly broken away, and brush cage with brushes in position; and Fig. 5 is a detail of the foot rest.
Referring now to the drawings, A is the bottom into which the lower ends of the upright rods B, B B fit snugly at a, a 0?, respectively. The brush case C made of sheet metal, is secured to the bottom A by having projections c on the lower edge of the case, passed through openings a and bent over. The footrest D has holes 0!, d d into which the top ends of the upright rods B, B B respectively, fit snugly. The foot rest D has one or more conveniently placed fins, 03 to be used in opening the blacking box. The bottom, top and upright rods together form a fixed and rigid frame, and the bottom A forms the bottom of the brush case.
Near the top of the upright rod B is a lug b. A swinging bracket E adapted to hold Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 29, 1915;.
Application filed November 1, 1913. Serial No. 798,696.
a blacking box is loosely pierced by the rod B and has notches e,-adapted to engage the lug b to hold the bracket E when in various positions. A spring S keeps the bracket pressed down against the lug b. The
bracket is meant to be swung out when the kit is set up for use. A ring R fits over the upright rods, and has suitably elongated and hollowed guides 1", r 9, adapted to seat upon the rods B, B B respectively, and slide thereon smoothly and with slight friction. On the ring at the back of each guide is a projection bored to receive the pivot Z, that fastens the legs L to the ring R. Each leg has a link Z the outer end of which is bent and fits loosely in a hole Z in the leg L,-and the inner end of which is bent and fits in the contiguous hole a of the bottom A. A projection Z on the end of each leg at the top is adapted to seat snugly against the ring R and brace the leg when extended for use.
At the back of the ring is fixed a leaf spring N with a catch n at its lower end, adapted to hook over the back of the bottom at a when the legs are extended and the kit is set up for use. When the ring R is so secured to the bottom A, the legs together form a rigid tripod stand and the whole kit is firm and steady. The spring N has a catch n at its upper end adapted to hook over the back of the slat (Z of the foot rest I) when the kit is folded up ready to be put away.
When the kit is set up ready for use as shown in Fig. 1, it is folded to be put away by pressing back the hook at so as to release it from contact with the bottom A, and the ring then slid upward until the hook a engages the bar d of the footrest. The kit is set up by reversing the operation.
I claim as my invention and desire to se cure by Letters Patent of the United States 1. A shoe shining kit, having in combination a frame having a single vertical guide at the front, and a plurality of vertical guides at the rear, a vertically-disposed case confined between the lower portions of the guides adapted to receive a brush, a foot rest supported on the upper ends of said guides, a ring circumscribing the brush containing case and slidably mounted on said guides, legs pivoted to said ring, and a link connecting each leg with said guides.
2. An improved shoe shining kit, having is pivoted to a,contiguous portion of. the
in combination a frame composed of a front vertical guide and two rear vertical guldes,
a case confined betweenuthe.,loweruendstof;
said guides having a top opening adapted to receive a brush, a foot rest fixedly-supported on the upper ends of said front and rear guides, a ringicircumsoribing saidcase and slidably mounted on said guides, a leg, whose inner end at the top is adapted to press against the ringin extended position,
pivoted to said ring backof each vertical i guide, a lever for eachleg WhOSQiIlIlQI' end.
