SHOE-LACE-TIPPING DEVICE.
Specification of Letters Iatent.
j, Patented Dec. a, rare.
Application filed'necember 17, 1917. Serial No. 207,573.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CREGAR B. QUAIN- TANCE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city and county of Denver and State of Colorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shoe-Lace- Tipping Devices, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which.
the invention appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to improvements in shoe lace tipping devices, and the invention has for its object the provision of a device of this character, Which may be conveniently used in stores where shoes and shoe laces are sold, for placing a metal tip on the extremities of shoe laces.
Another object of the invention is to provide a shoe lace tipping device adapted for use in stores or other places where it is,frequently necessary to retipa shoe lace.
By way of explanation, the shoelaces are frequently too long, and it becomes necessary to cut off a portion thereof. When this is done, it is necessary to ,retip the lace, and to this end, this device is adapted to be employed for such retipping.
With these and other objects in view, the invention will now be described with referonce to the accompanying drawing which forms a part hereof.
In this drawing, Figure 1 is a view illustrating the retipping device in its entirety; Fig. 2 is a fragment of the retipping device, showing the jaws in position to commence the operation of retipping; Fig. 3 is a view illustrating the jaws in the process of rolling the metal around the extremity of the lace; and Fig. 4. is a view illustrating the jaws in the position occupied by the latter when the operation of retipping has been completed.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in the views of the accompanying drawing by the same reference characters.
The numerals 5 and 6 respectively represent two members of the retipping device, the member 5 having an opening 7 there? through, through which opening the memher 6 is passed. These two members 5 and 6 are pivoted together at their point of intersection, as shown at 8. The member 5 is provided at its forward extremity with an upwardly turned portion 9, which forms one of the jaws of the device. Themember 6 at its forward extremity is provided with a part 10, forming another jaw of the retipping device. A metal tip 12 is adapted to be rolled around the, extremity of the shoelace by means 'ofcooperation between the two jaws 9 and 10. This metal tip. 12 comprises a sheet of material of the desired length, the'same being of such width that it can be rolled entirely around the extremity of the lace. The edge of the sheet 12 is first curved, as shown at 13, and then the sheet is placed against the jaw 9, as shown in Fig. 2 with the extremity .14 of the shoe lace received in the curved portion 18 of the strip 12. Now by causing the two jaws 9 and 10 to come together bygripping the members 5 and 6, the metal strip 12 is rolled around the extremity 1 1 of 'the shoe lace. The jaw 10- is provided with a milled surface 15, which prevents said jaw 10 from slipping upon the strip 12, andinsures that the said strip' 12 will be rolled around the shoe lace. The jaw 9 isprovided with a segmental recess 16 and a similar segmental recess 17 is formed at the. top of the jaw 10. When the rolling operation of the strip 12 has been completed, these two segmental recesses 16 and 17 receiveithe metal strip 12 therein, as shown in Fig. 1, whereby by applying pressure upon the members 5 and 6, the metal strip 12 may be tightly rolled and packed against the extremity of the shoe lace. r
This device is formed entirely of sheet steel whereby the same in rendered comparatively inexpensive in manufacture, and a greater degree of strength and durability is attained.
The jaw 10 is formed by an extension of the member 6 bent in such a way that the said jaw 10 will move parallel with respect to the jaw 9. The jaw 10 has a part 18, which is bent rearwardly and engages with the member 6 whereby the jaw 10 is held rigid.
As illustrated in Fig. 3, means is provided for cutting the tip after the latter has been applied to the lace. In thisview, the tip is designated 19. By placing the extremity of this tip 19 in the position illustrated in Fig.
' 3, between the extremity of the jaw 9 and a cutting surface 20 formed upon the member 5 at the point where the jaw 10 is curved from the latter, there will result a nipping of the extremity of the tip when the latter is engaged therebetween.
While I have described and illustrated herein a specific form of my invention, it is understood that I am not limited thereto, but that the same may be modified or varied without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the appended claim.
Having thus described my invention, what I claimand desire to secure by Letters Patent is In a lace tipping device, the combination with intersectingmembers, one of which is passed through the other one and pivotally connected at their point of intersectiomsaid members having handles for operatingthe same two 0 osin "aws formed on said members and adapted to move in an arc parallel with each other, said jaws adapted to receive a strip of material therebetween, one of said jaws having a milled face adapted to engage said strip of material and the other jaw adapted to hold said strip of material in position so that the one jaw will act upon said strip of material to roll same from one extremity only when said jaws are moved in opposing relation, and said jaws each having a segmental recess, the recess in one aw receiving the strip of material only when In testimony whereof, I hereunto ailix my signature.
CREGAR B, QUAINTANCE.
