PATENT OFFICE.
FREDERICK l. MARX, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.
stron-HEEL.
Application filed December 19, 1919.
To all whom t may concern.'
Be it known that I, FREDERICK P. MARX, a citizen of the United States, residingat the city of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Shoe-Heel, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to shoe heels.
An object of the invention is to provide a heel of novel and improved construction for ladies shoes.
Another object of the invention is to provide a shoe heel comprising a heel frame and a surface of hardened plastic or other suitable material inclosing the heel, and being capable of taking a polish.
An additional object is to provide a heel for ladies shoes including a. heel frame and body, in combination with a tap secured to the heel frame and body and including an element serving as a vanity ring, and also serving to support the main portion of the tap and constituting means whereby the tap may be attached to the heel body.
,A further object is to provide a heel for ladies shoes composed of a frame having` a penetrable block securedto the upper end thereof to receive the nails or other fastening elements by which the heel is secured to the shoe.
Various other objects will appear from the following description in which reference is made to the drawing illustrating the invention and various parts thereof, and .in which- Figure 1 is a plan view of my improved shoe heel.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation.
Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. l.
Fig. d is a vertical cross sectional view. u
Fig. 5 is a cross sectional view on the line 5 5 of Fig. 3.
Fig. 6 is a View illustrating the construction of the metallic plate between the tap and the lower end of the heel body, and which also serves as a vanity ring.
Fig. 7 is a view showing the lower end of the heel.
As shown the heel body includes a heel frame l preferably of aluminum or other light material formed to provide downwardly converging walls which, from an appropriate point above their lower ends, flare outwardly sothat the lower end of the heel frame or body is of larger width and length than the narrowest portion of said frame or Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 14E, 1920.

body. The outer surface of the walls of the heel frame or body is channeled or corrugated as shown in Fig. 3 in order to provide a construction for securely holding the coat or cover in which the heel body is incased. The upper end of the heel body is formed with an appropriate recess to receive a block 2 of wood or other penetrable material which will be held in place by a dove-tail construction comprising bordering flanges 3 on the heel body engaging above portions of the plastic material. The upper wall of the heel body is formed with an integral tongue 4 arranged to engage with a part of the shoe structure to hold the heel in connection with the shoe. The nails or other fasteners 5 are driven through the shoe sole and through the block 2. The points of the nails by striking the walls of the heel frame below the block 2 are bent and clenched into the block 2 so that it is impossible for the nails to work loose. i
The heel frame is incased within a cover 6 which may be applied in a plastic condition and allowed to solidify or harden in order to form a bonded connection with the heel frame. The surface of the cover is made perfectly smooth so that it will take a polish and thus provide a heel of ornamental appearance.
The heel tap comprises a plate 7 having an obliquely disposed flange 8 to form a connection with the lower portion 9 of the tap. As shown the portion 9 of the tap is composed of hardened material molded in connection with the plate 7 and flange 8 so that it is impossible for said parts to become separated, it being understood that the flange 8 extends downwardly into the material of the part 9. The tap is held in rigid connection with the lower part of the heel, the outer edge of the plate 7 being smooth or flush with the outer surface of the finished heel so as to give the appearance of an ornamental band or ring, usually known as a vanity ring. The plate 7 is preferably of aluminum or other non-corrodible material so that it will retain its distinctively ornamental appearance under all conditions.
llhe rigid connection by which the tap is secured to the heel body comprises a central projection l() in the form of a sleeve seating within a recess in the lower end of the heel body, and a number of other projections ll also engaging in recesses in the lower end of the heel body. By this construction the tap will be held from lateral or turning movements. As stated, the projection 10 is in the form of a sleeve having a central opening through which the fastening screw 12 passes to engage in a threaded hole in the lower end of the heel body. As shown, the head of the screw 12 is within a hole in the part 8 of the tap and bears directly against the plate 7, while the threaded portion of the screw engages in the lower end of the heel body, thus holding the tap in Xed relation to the heel body.
If desired, the part 8 of the tap may be composed of the same material as the cover 6, although it will be understood that any desired material may be used. The part 8 of the tap is separated distinctively andv visually from the upper portion of the heel by the plate 7 which, in addition to performing the function of holding the tap also serves as an ornamental band or ring.
' It will be understood that in the construction of the heel l am not confined to the specific materials or substances mentioned,
nor do l confine myself to other unessential limitations. lt is apparent that the invention completely and satisfactorily serves its purpose.
I claim:
1. A' shoe heel, comprising a metallic casting, a prong rigid with the upper end of the castingnear the rear portion of the heel arranged to pass into and engage the rear portion of the shoe sole and to be bent to prevent withdrawal, and a penetrable block secured within the upper portion of the casting in front of said prong and arranged to receive fasteners passing through the shoe sole to secure the front portion of the heel to the shoe sole.
2. A shoeheel, comprising a casting, a prong integral with the upper end of the castingnear the rear side thereof and arranged to engage with the rear portion of the shoe sole and to be Vclenched to prevent withdrawal, a penetrable block within the upper portion of the casting in front of said prong, means holding said block in position in connection with the casting, and fasteners passing through the shoe sole and casting near the rear wall thereof for engagement with a shoe sole, and a penetrable block embedded within the upper end of the casting to receive other fasteners passing through the shoe sole between the point of engagement with said prong and the breast of the heel.
4l. A shoe heel, comprising a casting have ing a recess in its upper end and having grooves at the sides of said recess, and a penetrable block mounted in said recess and extending into said grooves.
5. A shoe heel, comprising a casting having a recess in its upper end, a penetrable block secured in said recess for receiving the fasteners connecting the heel with the shoe, and a prong integral with said casting between said block and the rear wall of the heel for engaging the shoe sole.
6. A shoe heel, comprising a casting having a `recess in its upper end, a penetrable block in said recess, projections in connection with the casting engaging and holding said block in said recess,'and a metallic prong in connection with the casting between said block and the rear side of the heel arranged to engage the shoe'sole.
7. A shoe heel, comprising a casting having a recess in its upper en d, a penetrable block insaid recess, projections in connec-A- tion with the casting engaging and holding said block 1n` said recess, andV a metallic prong in connection with the casting be- Y tween said block and the rear side of the heel arranged to pass into the rear Vportion of the shoe sole and to be bent downwardly and rearwardly in connection with the rear Vportion of the shoeA sole to hold the rear portion of the sole in rigid connection with the heel.
8. A shoe heel, comprising a casting having a recess 1n its upper end, a penetrable i block supported in said recess, means holdingsaid block firmly in position in said recess, fasteners engaging said block and the shoe sole for holding the heel'in connection with Vthe shoe, and a prong rigid with the casting between said block and the rear wall of the shoe extending into the shoe sole and being bent downwardly and rearwardly to clamp the shoe sole in connection with said casting between said block and the rear wall of the shoe. v
