" SIEOE CLEANING AND IRONING JACK.
Application fil-ed Fetruary. s, 1920. steam. 3561756.
. BENDIX and PETER J. emcee, both citizens of the United States, and residents of the city of New York, borough of 'Brooklyn,
in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Shoe Cleaning and Ironing lack, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. p
This invention relates toshoe' machinery or apparatus, and has particular reference to jacks or supports for holding shoes,l
slippers or the like, for the purpose of finishing, cleaning, or dressing them.
Among the objects ofthe invention is to provide a shoe holdinsg jack that is adapted to directly receive an support a shoe when carried by any conventional last, the means i n I I the leg. Between the upper and lower edge for holding the last and shoe thereon being easily operated both for locking the last in place and for the release thereof. 7
Another object of the invention is to providea device of the nature set forth that is.
the most convenient with 'respect'to the manipulation of the shoe when supported thereon.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, but without unnecessarily limitingthe construction the preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein similar parts are referred to in the several views by like reference characters, and in WlllC-ll- Figure 1 is aside elevation of our in-,
vention indicating the manner of use thereof, dotted lines indicating a change of position of some of the parts and a portion of the supporting bracket being broken away.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal horizontal section on the line 22 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary side elevation of the jaw portion of the jack but with the jaws omitted.
Referring now more specifically to the drawings, we show our improvement as comprising a strong rigid member which simulating 111 some respects the form of the human leg or ankle will be referred to hereinafter as the leg 10. This leg may be made of any suitable rigid material and includes at one end a round. bearing or, trunnion portion 11 provided with a circumferential groove 12, and having adjacent to the bears into a fixed bearing sleeve 14; adapted to be connected by bolts 15 or their equivalent to any suitableupright support 16. A set screw 17 is tapped through the side of the sleevel and extendsinto the groove 12 of theleg bearing so as to hold the leg from I slipping out of the sleeve, yet permitting the free rotation of the leg around the axis of the bearing.
inga slioulder 13. The bearingll fitted At L we show any'suitable or conventional i the leg. As shown best in Fig. 4 the stud 19 I extends outward and slightly downward extending all the through the leg laterally. I
Located in the opening 22 and journaled upon vertical parallel pins or pivots 23 fitted in the upper and loweredges of the leg are apair of jaws 24, constituting levers of the first class. In other words, each jaw n1em-. her at its outer end constitutes a gripping jaw '25 which iswidened out and adapted to grip directly against the upper portion of the last L, while the opposite portion of the jaw member or lever is bent inward slightly toward the central axis of the leg. (See Fig. 2.) The two jaws are similarin construction and the lever ends thereof are spaced from each other but somewhat convergent, accommodating between them a wedge-shaped tightening member 26 movable longitudinally along the space 22.
A hand lever 27 projects downward through a bottom opening 28 and is pivoted in said opening on the pivot 29. This alsov s a lever of the first class and had connected to its upper end in the space 22, a link 30. The link is pivoted at 31 to the lever 27' and at its other end tothe wedge 26 at the point A locking device in the form of a set screw 38 is tapped into one sideof the leg so as to bear. directly against the lever 27 to prevent UDdGSllGCl'I110V6l116l1t of such lever around its pivot 29. e
The opening 22 extendingalong the leg is substantially filled or covered by means of face plates an fitted flush therein upon rabbets 35. These face plates extend forward so as to cover nearly all of the jaw members but leaving the gripping portions free for action.
The bridge 21 is provided with a transverse hole 36 in which is located an expansion coil spring 37 the ends of which bear outward against the jaws 25, tending to force them apart.
it-h the foregoing specific description' of the mechanism, its mode of operation and advantages may be readily understood through the following brief summary.
In the idle position of the device, the
hand lever 27 occupies the dotted line posi-.
tion of Fig. 1, the wedge 26 being moved forward releasing the aw levers and permitting the spring 37 to throw the jaws bers into gripping action upon the last.
The ordinary disposition of the locking device will be maintained by friction, butto obviate any possible accidental loosening thereof, the set screw 33 may be tightened. to prevent movement of the lever 27, and as long as the lever is held from movement around its pivot, the locking wedge will maintain the jaws in holding position. lVith the parts adjusted as just described, the shoe fitted to the last will be in position for the most convenient treatment such as finishing, cleaning, washing, pressing, or dressing, and furthermore if it is a shoe with an upper, the upper may be laced or otherwi e fastened around the ankle portion .of the leg 10 if desired in order to treat it.
l Vhile the operation is in progress, the en tire leg and parts carried thereby may be rotated around the axis of the bearing 11 if desired to afford complete access to all parts of the shoe.
WVe claim:
l. The herein described shoe jack co1nprising a leg having a longitudinal space therein terminating at one end in a bridge, a
last holding stud extending outward from the bridge, means acting upon the last while so supported to prevent its undesired removal from the stud, and means within the longitudinal leg space serving to lock the last holding means.
2. In a shoe jack the combination of a leg having a longitudinal opening therein, a pair of jaws fitted in said opening, locking means for the jaws extending along the same in the opening, and hand means to operate the locking means.
3. In a shoe jack the combination of a rigid leg ha ing a longitudinal opening therein bounded at one endbya bridge having a transverse hole, a pair of last holding jaws pivoted in the leg andextending along said opening on opposite sides of the bridge, means located in said hole tending to force the jaws apart and other means acting upon the jaws tending to cause them to approach each other against the force of the means in the hole.
4. In a shoe jack the combination of a rigid leg, means to support the leg for ro tation around a longitudinal axis, last holding means at one end of the leg, a manually operated means to operate the last holding means, and means acting upon the manually controlled means to prevent unintentional release thereof.
