FOOTREST ATTACHMENT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept.16,- 1919.
Application filed March 14, 1919. Serial No. 282,640.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MAX SHLIVEK, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of New York, county and State. of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Footrest Attachments, of which. the following isa specification.
This invention relates to improvements in foot-rests and has particular reference to such devices which are used by boot-blacks in connection with chairs or benches.
Foot-rests of this character heretofore and at present in use are faulty.insomuch as they are constructed with undercut edges which invariably catch and tear the clothmg of the user when the user moves away from the foot-rest.
The object of this invention is to provide a foot-rest and attachment so constructed that no undercut edges of the foot-rest are presented to catch the clothing thereby overcoming the objection mentioned.
This object is attained by the dev1c e illustrated in the accompanying drawlng in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the 1mproved foot-rest;
Fig. 2 is a side elevation, partly in section and shows the action of the pivotally connected heel-support when the foot of the user is in place upon the foot-rest;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a modified form embodying the principle of this invention;
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the modified form attached to the ordinary form of a foot-rest; and
Fig. 5 shows another modlfied form.
Referring, in detail to the parts, 1 des1g nates a base plate having supporting members 2 and 3 formed thereon. The upper end of the supporting member 2 is formed with a sole plate in turn formed with an abutting surface 5. The supporting member 3 is provided with a heel supporting plate 6 which is pivotally connected thereto as at 7 and which is formed with an extending counterbalancing portion 8.
A tongue 9 may be formed upon the heel supporting plate 6 to engage within a slot 10 formed in the abutting surface 5. The
upper surface of the tongue 9 engages against the surface forming the end of the slot 10 and acting in conjunction with the counterbalance 8, holds the heel supporting plate 6 normally 'in the position shown in Fig. 1. p
The upper portion of the supporting member 3 is'rounded or curved as at 11, toward the heel supporting member 6, to allow'the cloth ng of the user to slide thereover without'catching, thus constituting a clothesguard.
A striking surface 12 is formed upon the supporting member 3 and acts in conjunction with the balancing member 8 as a stop to limit the downward movement of the heelsupporting plate 6.
any desired base 13 by means of screws 14:.
. In use, the footrest is normally, as shown n Fig. 1, the counterbalancing member 8 acting to keep the heel supporting plate 6 in its uppermost position flush with the sole plate. hen a foot is placed upon the rest, the sole engages and rests upon the soleplate while the heel engages and depresses the heel supporting plate 6; the clothing hangs as indicated in Fig. 2.
In stepping down or away from the footrest, the clothing, if not raised, may contact The device may be carried or secured upon with the edge 11 and sole-plate 1 of the footrest but cannot be caught thereon. When the foot is removed the heel-plate 6 will be swung up to its normal position, thus producing a substantially continuous unobstructed surface.
With the modified form shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the same object is attained by attaching the said modified form to the ordinary foot-rests.
This form consists of a wire 16 of suitable strength and resiliency having loop formations 15 which provide a means for attachment to the platform or foot-rest either by the use of screws or clips (not shown). From the inner loops 15 the wire is bent in an approximate semi-circular formation 18 and joined by the twist formation 17 The ends are turned downwardly and inwardly as at 19 to embrace the sole-plate of the foot-rest as clearly shown in Fig. 3.
In Fig. 5 a form of guard is shown which is clamped to the foot-rest as at 20 and in which the free end 21 rests upon the platform as shown. 7
It is obvious that various other modifications may be embodied in this device without departing from the spirit of thc invention. It will, therefore, be understood that the invention is not limited to the particular construction shown.
What is claimed and desired to secure by Letters Patent, is v e 1 v I 1. In combination with a foot-rest having a substantially flat surface for the sole of a shoe, a guard at the rear thereof curved outwardly and downwardly, said curved por tion being arranged to form an uninterrupted continuation of the flat surface of the foot-rest, thereby preventing clothing from catching thereon.
2. In a foot-rest, a sole-plate, and a heelplate, a support therefor, the heel-plate being pivotally secured to the support, and means for normally maintaining the heelplate flush with the sole-plate but permitting it to be depressed below the level of the soleplate when weight is placed thereon.
3. In combination with the sole-plate of a foot-rest, a heel plate arranged to be depressed below the level of the sole-plate when the foot is placed thereon and to be automatically restored flush with the soleplate when the foot is removed.
4. In combination with the sole-plate of a footrest, a heel plate arranged to be depressed below the level of the sole plate when the foot is placed thereon and to be automatically restored flush. with the soleplate when the foot is removed, and a clothes-guard adjacent the heel-plate.
5. Ina foot-rest for shoe-polishing chairs and the like, a sole supporting plate, a heelsupporting plate, means for supporting the said sole supporting plate, a supportingmember curved at its upper portion and adapted to carry the said heel-supporting plate normally flush with the sole-plate and a base plate formed integrally with the said supporting means and said curved supporting member. I v
6. In a footrest for shoeepolishing chairs and the like, a sole-supporting plate, a supporting means for same, a heel-plate supporting member curved at its upper portion,
a heel-plate pivotally attached thereto,
means for maintaining the said heel-plate normally flush with the sole-plate and a base-member carrying the said sole-plate supporting means and said heel-plate supporting member. 1
In testimony whereof, MAX SHLIVEK has signed his name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 8th dayvof March 1919.
