Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed February 10, 1913. Serial N 0. 747,277.
all whom may concern:
Be it known that I, GEoR'oE H. P. FOSTER,
a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Resilient or Cushion Heels, of which the following is a full, clear,
, concise, and exact description, reference beaccordance with my invention. To this ing had to the' accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification. 'My invention relates to resilient or cushion heels for shoes.
Prominent objects of the invention are to provide simple and practical means for attaching such heels to the shoes; to arrange for the easy and ready attachment of the heel to the shoe and the detachment of the same therefrom; to make possible the easy and ready attachment and detachment of the heel by the wearer of the shoe, as well as by the manufacturer; to permit the ready interchange of heels as between thedifi'erent shoes of a pair, and thus obtain a maximum of wearing capacity for the heels; to
make the attachment and detachment of the heel simple and-easy'without necessitating straining or wrenching of the heel, and
without possibility of tearing or breaking the same; and to accomplish the foregoing and other desirableresults in a simple and expeditious manner.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a longitudinal section of a portion of a shoe with a resilient or cushion heel embod'ying my invention attached thereto;
Fig. 2 is a section taken on line 22 in Fig.
1; Fig. 3 is a plan view of a heel without attaching clip; Fig. 4 isa perspective view of the attaching clip alone.
' The drawings show part of a shoe, A,
having a sole 1, to the heel portion of which thea-esilient or cushion heel 2 is attached in end *a metal clip 1 is provided and secured to the heel portion of the sole 1, as by screws 5-5. The clip i is preferably circular in form as shown invFigs. 2, '3 and 4, and is provided with a portion 6 which is slightly curved or contoured to fit exactly.
the under surface of the heel portion of the sole 1,'so as to make a tight and close fiit between clip a and sole 1 when the clip is secured to the sole. At one end of the clip,
'referably the rear end, a portion or pro-:
g'ection 7 extends away from the portion 6 andprovides a space betweenitself and the clip 4,'the main or body portion of the recess 10 being adapted to receive the remainder of the clip 4. Thus the heel 2 which may be of rubber or other desirable resilient 0 r cushion material, may he slipped into po- S1iLiOII HPOD the sole of the shoe by simply manipulating it so that the end 7 of the clip 4 slides into the recess 11,.the balance ofthe clip fitting into the remainder-of the recess 10, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Thus there is formed a slidable 0r detachable connectlon between the shoe and heel which can be made or unmade by sliding the heel into or out of position in. engagement with the clip 4. I As a means of further .detachably connectmg the heel with the shoe and especially for holding the heel against such lateral movement as would pern'lit it to become disengaged from the clip at, a plate 12 preferably metallic is arranged as by molding within the body of the heel, said plate conveniently extending transversely of the heel, as shown in lugs. 2 and 3, and being provided with screw holes. The heel is provided below theplate 12 with apertures 14 which are adapted to receive the heads of screws 15.
and which terminate in other apertures which are adapted to receive the body portions of saidscrews 15, whereby said screws may be passed through the plate 12 and serve to fasten the heel to the shoe. The plate 12 also serves to strengthen and sup port the frontportion of the heel, and especially the sides and front side corners thereof. Thus it will be seen that the heel is satisfactorily fastened to the shoe, being adequately held by the clip 4 and the, screws I 15 and at the same time it will be seen that the heel can be easily attached and detached by simply manipulating the screws 15 and then sliding the heel on or oif, and that this attachment and detachment of the heel is accomplished more easily and quickly and without trouble because the heel is engaged 21 Qelm -edwee wa fitting in a i- Q v I 1,154,917
one direction as for example, rearwardly, and there is no corresponding side or front prong engaging another recess at" the sides or front of the clip 4, whereby the prong 7 can be made as long as desired, and it alone need be slipped into the recess in the heel.
10 Thisobviously, is much simpler and more advantageous than having front and rear prongs fitting into recesses in the heel, which would necessitate first one. being fitted and then the heel being stretched so as then to fit the other. As opposed to this it will be seen that by my arrangement the heel can simply he slipped into position to engage the clip without any pulling or straining of the heel at all, and then can be fastened by the supplemental fastening device involving the screws 15.
' It will be understood that changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
What I claim is:
1. A shoe having secured to the outer surface of its heel seat a clip comprising a plate contacting substantially throughout with the heel seat and a portion projecting from said plate downwardly and rearwardly of the heel seat, leaving a space between it and the heel seat, a heel having extending downwardly'and rearwardly from its upper surface a cavity arranged to fit-and receive the Y last-named portion of the clip, and additional means for securingthe heel to the shoe:
2. A clip for the purpose specified, comprising a plate having a portion adapted to fit against the heel seat of a shoe and having another portion in the form of a prong extendingzdownwardly and rearwardly from said plate portion, said prong portion hav; ing its rear end constructed with converging sides. :15
3. A clip for he purpose specified-comprising a circular plate having a part thereof adapted to fitagainst the under side of a shoe and having its remaining portion made in the form of a prong for insertion into a to heel cavity.
4.1A clip for the purpose specified comprising a circular plate having a substantially semieircular portion thereof adapted to fit against the under side of the heel seat '55 of a shoe and such end having its upper surface made concave and provided with upw a-rdly extending points, said plate having its emaining portion made into the form of a prongnfor insertion into a heel cavity. G0
5. A clipjhe purpose specified comprising a circulafplate having a substantially semi-circular partThe'reof made to fit the under side of the heel seat 053W having its remaining portion made in t e form of a prong extending obliquely. from r the surface which is to fit against the under side of the heel seat so as to afford a space I between the under side of the heel seat and said prong when the clip is secured to the shoe, the side of the plate opposite the 'side. which is to be applied to the shoe being fiat and circular.

In witness whereof, I hereunto subscribe 4 my name this 7th dayof February, A. D.
