LAWRENCE n. JOHNSON,
AND EDWARD ERICKSON,
CHUSETTS; SAID ERICKSON ASSIGNOR T O VICTOR SHOE MACHINERY COMPANY, OF BOSTQN, MASSACHUSETTS, A CORJPOIRMQJIION OF MASSACHUSETTS.
To all 10720772111 may concern Be it known thatwe, LAWRENCE E. JOHN- SON, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of inthrop, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, and EDWARD Erickson, a subject of the King of Sweden, and a resident of Lynn, in the county of Essexand State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and usefeatures of construction and arrangement of parts which will be fully understood by reference to the description of the drawings and to the claims hereinafter given.
Of the drawings: Figure 1 represents an elevation of a machine embodying the principles of thepresent invention. Fig. 2 represents an edge view of the same.
Similar characters designate like parts throughout the figures of the drawing.
In the drawing, is a framework having a base 11 adapted to be secured to a bench or some other means of support. The frame 1.0 is provided with a projecting portion 12 having openings 13 therethrough. These openings 13 are adapted to receive the projecting portions of a plate 14: made up of Babbitt or some similar soft metal. This plate 141 has its upper face curved to fit the front edge of the heel of a boot or shoe. Pivoted at 15 is a plate 16 having secured to a side face near its outer end, by means of the screws 18, a cutting knife 17. This knife 17 is provided on its rear face with a shouldered projection 19 adapted to bear against the edge 20 of the plate 16. The cutting edge 21 of the knife 17 is inclined inwardly and midway of its ends is provided with a projection 22 adapted in its downward movement to strike the central portion of the rear end of a heel resting upon the plate 1 1. The plate 16 is provided with a curved slot 23 in which is positioned a stud 24; secured to the frame 10 and limiting the upward SHOE-HEEL-REDUCING DEVICE.

movement of said plate 16. The platel6 is also providcdwith a segment of a gear 25 meshing with a pinion 26 secured to and revoluble with a short shaft 27 mounted in the bearing 28 in the frame 10. The opposite end of the shaft 27 has secured thereto a lever 29 provided with a handle 30 by which 'the pinion 26 may be. revolved. \Vhen a worn heel of a shoe is positioned upon the plate 14 and the lever 29 is rotated in the direction of. the arrow 0; on Fig. l of obvious'that the knife 17 will be forced downwardly upon the heel, and continued movement of the lever 29 will force the knife through the heel removing the required number of lifts therefrom, and in its movement cutting awaythe'nails eX- tending through said heel. porting plate 14 is mounted a gage 31 having a: shank in'the projection 12. A spring 33 surrounds the shank 32 between its bearing and the gage member 31 and forces said gage outwardly or to the left of Fig. 2 of the draw ings. The opposite end of the shank 32 has threaded thereto as at 33 the lever 34 which may be turned by means of the handle 35 to regulate the position of the gage 31.
When the plate 14 becomes unserviceable from continuous use 'it may be readily replate secured to the ex- By means of the gage 31 the be adjusted so that an equal moved and a new tension 12. device may number of lifts may be removed from each pair of shoes. An inclined wedge-shaped projection 36 is built on the rear face of the member 16 above the cutting edge 21 of the knife 17. This wedge 36 forces the severed lifts away from the remaining portion of the heel on the shoe and prevents too much frictional contact on the knife as it passes through the heel.
This makes a very simple and effective device for preparing shoes for re-heeling in a repair shop. By its use a'flat level surface is produced upon the old shoe, thereby making it possible to build up a new heel thereon with very little labor.
It is believed that the operationand many advantages of this invention will be fully apparent from the foregoing description.
Having thus described our invention, we claim:
1. In a device of the class described, the
Below the sup- 32 extending through a bearing of said member; adjustable means at the edge of said work support for positioning the Work; and means for moving said member about its pivot and causing said knifeto coact with said support.
2. In a deviceof the cla'ss described the combination of a work support; a pivoted member movable toward said support and provided with a gear segment; a pinion meshing therewith; means for revolving said pinion; and a knife'ona side face of saidmember:with its cutting edge below the under side of said member and adapted to coact'with the upper face of-said work support at some-distance from its'edge.
3. In a device of the class described, the combination of a work support; a pivoted member movable toward said support and provided with a gear segment; a pinion meshing therewith; said pinion; a stop extending through a slot in said member to limit the upward movemen-t thereof; and a knife on a side face of Copies-0f this patentjmay 'be'oobtaine'd for'five cents" each;'-by addressing "the of said frame and adapted to be moved toward said support; a knife means for revolving for moving said member to bring said knife into coacting relation withsaid plate,
5. In a device of the'classdescribed -the combination of a work supporting member a remo'vab1eplate of softfmetal thereon; a cutting knife; a pivoted member supporting knife with its pivot perpendicular said knife'with itspivot perpendicular-to I the-cutting edge of said knife and having a slot therein; a stop member in'saidslot; and
