ROBERT E. REED, OF MORRILL, NEBRASKA.
COBBLERS OR SHO EMAKERS KNIFE.
Application filed February 8, 1919.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ROBERT E. REED, a citizen of the United States, residing at Morrill, in the county of Scotts Bluff and State of Nebraska, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cobblers or Shoemakers Knives, of which the following is a specification, reference being. had to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to an improved cobblers or shoemakers knife.
The invention aims to provide a very simple, eflicient, and practical device of this kind, which may be manufactured for a small cost, and sold at a reasonable profit.
The invention further aims to provide a trimming knife for trimming the edges of the sole of a shoe, either by imparting a pulling or a pushing action upon the knife.
The invention further aims to provide a trimming knife, so constructed and employed, as to avoid cutting the upper of the shoe, while trimming the sole.
The invention further aims to provide a device, in which the blade is sharpened on both of its edges, thereby affording a doublefold purpose for the blade. For instance by this construction the knife may be either pushed or pulled, when trinnnin-g the sole of a shoe, thereby permitting the device to be used by the right or the left hand of the cobbler.
Further, since the blade is interchangeable, rather reversible, one of the cutting edges not so constantly used by a right-hand workman, may be employed. Should the workman be left-handed, the cutting edge not so constantly used, may also be utilized, by reversing the blade.
It is a further aim of the invention to provide a handle, to which the cutting blade is so connected, that when the blade is in use, in the act of trimming a sole of a shoe, one side of the handle near the blade will engage the bottom face of the sole, and guide the blade, and thereby prevent the upper of the shoe from being cut unnecessarily.
It is obvious that by means of the particular construction shown and described either one of the cutting edges of the blade may be employed for trimming one edge of the welt of the shoe, that is, to bevel the welt slightly, in order to give a finished appearance to the cobblers work.
Further, the end edge of the blade is also sharpened, and it is obvious that either one Specification of Letters Patent.

of the corners, at the points, where the angularly disposed cutting edges and the end cutting edge adjoin, may be utilized for cutting astitch receiving channel in the underface of the sole of the shoe, it being obvious that the handle can be so disposed with relation to and engaging the sole as illustrated,
as to limit the depth of the cutting corner of the blade into the sole face.
In using a lmife of this character, it is possible to easily manipulate the shoe, and thereby facilitate the trimming of the sole.
The present design of this invention is deemed preferable. However, it is obvious that in reducing the device to a practicable form for commercial purposes, alterations in the minor details of construction may be found necessary. The right to these alterations is claimed, provided the alterations fall within the scope of what is claimed.
The invention comprises further features and combination of parts, hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings and claimed.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a View in perspective showing the sole portion of a shoe, and the cobblers knife disposed with relation thereto, for trimming the edge of the sole.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the klllllfe employed for beveling the welt of the s 0e.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the knife employed for cutting the stitch receiving channel in the under face of the sole of the shoe.
Fig. 4 is a sectional view on line 4-4 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 5 is a sectional view on line 55 of Fig. 2.
Fig. -6 is a sectional view on line 6-6 of Fig. 2.
Referring to the drawings 1 designates a handle member, which may be any suitable shape or configuration found most convenient for the device, preferably the handle member comprises a hand gripping portion 2 provided with an elongated opening 3 therein in order to lighten the member, and a part 8, which extends at an obtuse angle to'the hand gripping portion. The part 3 terminates in an extension 4:, the extremity of which is curved or rounded 01f, as shown at 5. This reduced extension is provided with suitable apertures 6. One edge of the extension is constructed with an elongated recess 8, for the reception of a cutting blade 9. This blade may be constructed of any suitable metal, preferably suitably tempered steel, and isprovided with a pair of apertures 11. These apertures 11 receive suitable securing screws 12, which are threaded 1nto the openings or apertures of the extension, thereby securely holding the blade to the extension. It is obvious that by the removal of the screws, the blade may easily be reversed, whereby the knife may be used by a right or left-handed workman. The blade gles to each other, and the end portion of the 7 blade has an additional cutting edge 16.
This cutting edge 16 is at obtuse angles to the former cutting edges, thereby affording sharp cutting, gouge corners 17 and 18. Either one of these cutting corners may be employed for cutting a stitch receiving channel in the underface of the sole of the shoe, and since the lateral part of the blade is curved on the face 19, this face may be em- Gopies of this patent may be obtained for ployed for flattening the lifted wall 20 of the stitch receiving channel, thereby covering the stitches. The curved end of the extension may also be used for this purpose.
The invention having been set forth, what is claimed as new is:
The combination with a handle member provided with an extension, one edge thereof having a recess, of a thin cutting blade detachably mounted in said recess, said blade having-a laterally protruding portion pro- 7 vided with opposite cutting edges at acute angles, the extension adapted to cooperate with one face of the sole, thereby guiding the blade when trimming the edge of the sole, the lateral portion of the blade having an end cutting edge at obtuse angles tothe first edges, thereby forming channel cutting gouge corners, the blade and the handle member being so disposed with relation to the sole of the shoe for guiding the instrument, whereby either one of the gouging corners may be adapted to form a stitch receiving channel.
In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
