Specification o Letters Patent.

Application led. 'May 23, 1816. Serial No. 99,273.

To all whom 'it may concern Bc it known that I, Mouais IsAAcsoN, a citizen oi 'the United States, and a resident olI4 the city oit New York, borough of Brook--V lyn, .in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Im.- proved D ic and lress for Attaching Wood Heels, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to' slice making machines and particularly to an improved die and press for preparing the heel Seat portion of; Slices to receive heels' in such manner as to produce an accurate Iit at the juncture of the heel with the remaining part of the shoe.

Another object of the invention is to pro vide an improved die for pressing the part of the shoe which receives the heel into the correct shape for receiving the heel.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is al side view of a press and associated lparts embodyin the invention,

Vcertain members being bro en away :tor better illustrating the construction. Fig. 2 is a fragmentary sectional view through Fig. 1 on line 2*2.

Fig. 3 isa fragmentary sectional view through Fig; '1 on line 3-4-3. 30

Fig. 4 is a detail sectional View through Fig. 3 on line 4 4.

Fig. 5 is a: transverse sectional View through Fig.v 4 on. line fn-5.

Fig. 6 is a bottom plan- View of the'die used informing a heel seat on the heet-porm tion 1ol? a shoe.

Fig. 74 is a fragmentary side View of a shoe with a slightly modified form of die ap l' vplied to `theheel seat portion thereof.

Referring to the accompanying drawings by numerals, 1 indicates a base to which are secured posts or uprights 2 and 3, 'the same being held in place by nuts f1 engaging suitable reduced threadedV extensions of the posts. Connected' withthe upper ond of the posts2 and 3.01' formed integral therewith 1s a cross bar 5l through which the threaded bar 6 extends, the aperture accommodating bar 6 being also 'threaded so that when the bar is rotated by the handle 7 the foot .8 is forced downwardly or upwardly according t0 the direction of rotation. The foot 8 is Auniversally journaied on the bar 6 by a suitable ball and socket connection 9 so that the foot canaccommodate itself to the particular angle of the upper surface of the die.

means, as for instance, screws 13.

, forming the heel section .of the shoe.

It will be noted that the footS is soldered to Vor formed integral with the cross bar 8', which cross bar is notched at each end so as to partiallysurround the posts 2 and 3 in order to be guided thereby in its upward and downward movement.

,Thcfdie 10 as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 6 is preferably formed with a solid. body portion ll and aborder member lg'which 1s rigidly Patented Feb. 20, 1917.

secured to the body 11 by any suitable y The bottom of the die 10 is formed in any shape desircd and so is the lower edge of the member l2, the shape of these parts4 being the negative oi. the shape cfa heel section of a shoe which has been pressed thereby. As shown in Figs. l "and 2, a small depression or groove is provided between the body 11 and member 12 into which part of the upper of the shoe is crowded when the die -is pressed tightly against the heel portion of the shoe. V

This causes a distinct curved or side section 17 to be produced and-'assists in holding the heel in place when positioned thereon as well as causing a better finish to be presented. The idea is to press the heel section of the shoe as shown in Fig. 1 so that the same Vwill conform in all its details to the shape of a wooden heel to be applied later.

For the purpose of identification a plurality of pins l5 for-ming a number as shown'in Fig.l 6 are-.arral'lged in the die 10 and punches orde-presses part of the sole leatir e die is preferably so arranged asto press the heel section of the shoe in'order to produce a central surface 1'6 anda'curved or Bide section .17. The wooden heel to be PPlied is made of such a shape .as to exactly yt these two surfaces and when an adhesive has been placed on the heel and the heel pressed *tightly against the surfaces 16 and 17 a" proper connection between the two parts is secured. c

While the'shoe 19 is being operated onY by the die 10 the heel -end of the last is supported by a post 20 provided' with a notcliedput or cutaway portion 9.1 for accommodating the spring 22 pivotally mounted at 23. An auxiliary spring 24 is riveted or rigidly secured in any suitable manner at 25 so that spring 22 will be proporly supported and, consequently, support the outer end ofthe shoe 19 in a horizontal position. In order to accommodate the spring' 22 and associated parts 'to shoes of dilerent sizes andfsha es the supporting 1 fork 26 is adjustabl c amped in position movement by the guides Bland 3l but is not prevented from sliding outv from beneath the presserfoot 8 when said-.foot has been released- This allows `the shoe to 'be released by only part of a turn of the screw 6 and the shoe may then 'be readily pulledr out, the standard 2O sliding between the guides 81 and 31. A new shoe 'may be substituted while. the standard 20 is in its outer position and their the shoe and standard 20. may. be moved baclr to the position shown in Fig. 1, I Ii'regard to the pins 15 in diev 10 thesev `are used to identify the particular shoe with the particular heel to be used. A ny heel .hav-ing the saine number-as is provided by the pins l5 may be placed on shoe 19 after the-die hasv been removed and when so placed will correctly fit the seat produced bythe die.

`In forming the standards or uprights 2 and 3 and cross bar 5, together with ineinber-6 and-vassociatedparlts, it is aimed to' construct these parts .comparatively strong 'in order that aconsiderable pressure may be exerted on thel shoe for producing or pressing a seat in which the heel is placed. Acertain shaped die 10 has been disclosed in the drawing but it is evident that other shapes-may beused according to the .style of shoe andl heel without .departing from the spirit of the inventin. It is also evi'n dent that other slight modified forms may be 'used WithoutV departing trom the spirit of the invention provided means are lre-l sented which will vress a seat into the s oe. In cnstructing eelsthe same are formed in1several Waysv'in order to produce what vis'lrnown as orthopedic, Louis or plain heels.

In Fig. 75a different form of die is shown tothat shown in lFig. 6 so asA todisclosc how the device is yapplicable to heels of any desilgn or shape. As shqwn in Fig. 7 the diev l is provided with a pointed en which will press or cut the sole leather at 56 unless the sole leather has been previously cut and trimmed; This pressin or cutting the sole'of the 'shoe vat 56 is to a low the :heel to 4fit properly against the heel seat land the sole so as'to make a. neatly .itting construction. In forming the heel seat the`1 same may bc pressed completel by the die?" orinay be trimmed; with a kni c, said trimnais-,ece

the shoe from one cut 56 to the'. opposite" cut.56, and after such cutting operation the die may be forced into position; to shape up the parts.' Also, an extension 58 isrovided which slants'A graduallynpwar shown in Fig. 7 so as tov give a less and less pressure and thereb, 'cause Uradual slant of the sole from tlie point w ere no pressure is provided' to a seat which is pressed firmly inthe desired shape. This will prevent the sole 57 from bulging or bowing upwardly and adjacent the heel as' thesame is pressed on an incline and thereby produces a` continuous even appearing sole and heel portionfor receiving a wood heel.

In arranging the member 12 in position it is lintended that the counter shall be `pressed so that when the heelris placed. in position a good it may be produced and a smooth pleasing appearance disclosed.
