F CE- CUSHION-HEEL.
' To all whom it may concern:
. Be it known that' I, THOMAS W. ARTER,
a citizen of the United States, residin at Bella-ire, in the county of Belmont and tateof Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cushion-Heels, of which the followingis a specification.
The present invention comprehends gen erally improvements in that class of inven-- "10 particularly has reference to a cushion heel.
tions knownas boots and shoes and more The invention has for its principal aim and object to provide a device of the above mentioned character designed in the form of an attachment for engagement with the heel of a shoe to yieldingly support the heel of the wearer of the shoe and as a result increase the comfort thereof.
More particularly, the present invention contemplates the provision of a-device ;of the above mentioned character composed of an attaching and supporting frame in which is fitted the resilient member also designed heel of the shoe at the time the fra'r'ne is anchored in position, the latter incidentally being designed to fasten the heel portion of the upper of the shoe to the heel portion of Among the other aims and objects-of this invention may be recited the provision of'a device 'of the above mentioned character wherein the number'of parts are comparativelyf few, the construction simple, the cost of production low and the efficiency high.
Other objects, as wellas the nature, characteristic features and scope of this invention will .be more readily apparent from the following description taken in connection with .the accompanyin drawings and pointed out in the claims, orming a. part of this specification.
' The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which! Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view through the heel and heel portion of the upper of a shoe showing the cushioning member in position,
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented June 29, 1920, Application filed' June 3, 1919. Serial No. 801,429.
Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the supporting consisting of a sole 2 and an upper 3, while to the under surface of the heel portion of .the sole is attached the heel 4, the body of which is composed of a plurality of superposed sections or layers 5 of leather. The heel portion of the sole and the body of the heel are formed with a curved bottomed recess 6 in which is fitted the cushioning member designated in its entirety by the numeral -7.
In reducing the present invention to practice, the same may be said to be in the form of an attachment and consists of a frame 8 .in the shape of a heel, preferably stamped from sheet metal and formed at suitable intervals along its outer edges with attaching or anchoring spurs 9, preferably positioned to depend therefrom so as to engage the inturned portion 10 of the upper of the shoe for fastening the same to the sole when the spurs themselves are anchored in the heel portion of the sole and the body of the heel as indicated in Fig. 1. The inner edges of the frame are split as at 11 at uniformly spaced intervals while the portions between the slits constitute supporting and engaging flanges 12 formed by the alternately incliningof said portions upwardly and downwardly with respect to the frame, and in effect forming a groove in which is fitted the outer edges of the resilient body 13 preferably of rubber. This body conforms to the shape of the frame and preferably is of an oval shape configuration in cross section so as to lie in engagement with the recess 6 and also above the upper surfaceof the heel portion of the sole, the arrangement being indicated in Fig. 1.
To increase the comfort of the wearer of the shoe and at the same time prevent the upper flanges 12 from injuring the heel of the foot, a lining 14 is arranged within the shoe and lies over the sole and the cushioning extension for the heel as indicated.
It is believed that in View of the foregoing description that a further detailed description of theoperation of theinvent-ion is entirely unnecessary. Likewise, it is believed that the advantages of the invention will be readily apparent. I
Still further embodiments of the invention than 7 those herein especially defined in combination with the heel of a shoe have nately bent upwardly and downwardly to ing a recess in the upper surface thereof, an attachmg frame hav1n its mner edges alming'with the upper e ge of the recess and I also split at uniformly spaced intervals, the.
portions lying between the slits being alterprovide supporting and; engaging flanges and also forming. a groove, anchoring spurs depending from the frame and anchored in the heel and a resilient element having its reduced outer edges seated in the groove with the lower surfaceengaging the recess and the upper surface positioned in a plane above the plane of the frame. H
2. A heel cushion for shoes comprising an attaching frame having its inner edge slit at intervals and the portions lying intermediate the slits being bent alternately upwardly and downwardly to provide confin-- ing flanges, and a cushioning element having ataperededge removably confined between said flanges.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature hereto.
