I a; citizen of the United. States, residing at Hillsdale, in the county of Hillsdale and State of Michigamhave inventedzcertaln new and useful Improvements in Shoe-Re'-.
tainers; and I do hereby declare the following to-be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, 'such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to 'make'and use the same, i
The invention relates to shoes and consists of means for preventing a low shoe or slipper from drawing away from the foot at the heel. v 1
The object of the invention is to' provide a device which will subserve the above stated function and at the same time be easy of application to a shoe without the use of stitches, so that any person who obtains one of the devices embodying'the invention may be able to apply it to itsplace of use.
Referring to the draw1ng,- Figure 1 is a side view of ashoe showing one of my devices in position, a part of the shoe being broken away to reveal said device. Fig. 2 is a plan view 'of the shoe shown in ig.'3 isa perspective view showing one of my devices. 1
The device consists of a body portion of canvas or other suitable material, indicated- 7 by the numeral 1, the convex surface of said body portion being provided with a layer 2 of suitable gum. which when'moistened will become adhesive in order that said body portion may be caused to adhere to the inside oftheheel portion of the shoe. I
The device has tapering ends 3 and is generally curved to conform to the heel portion of the shoe.
Secured to the body portion interiorly at its upper edge is a strip of elastic material 4. 'Thisfl'strip may be retained in position by stitches 5 or by other suitable means extending through the upper edge and the two i ends thereof, the lbwer edge of said strip being unsecured or free. heelasticity of the strip causes it to extend inward at an angleto theheel of the shoe, and thereby to eng'agethe heel of the wearer, so that any tendency of the heel to rise outv of the shoe will be met by the restraining influence of the'strip; 1 The strip-is sufficiently soft to avoid abrasions or irritations of the foot, but is at the same time strong enough to sustain the weight of the shoe and prevent its movement relative to the foot.
The body. portion ma be composed of a singlelayer of canvas, lint I prefer to employ two. or more layers, the interior of 'WhlOll may. be .of paper or other fibrous material; These layers are united by stitchthe surface of the shoe. Care should be or the ad--' taken to avoid too much moisture hesives will not stick properly.
, Having thus described my invention what secure by Letv I claim'as new and desire to ters Patent is:
A shoe retainer comprising a sheet of material adapted to be curved to substantially U-shape, and inserted within the coun- V ter portion of'a shoe, a yielding strip secured at its upper margin to the upper margin of the sheet, and throughout tion of its length, the ends of said sheet extending beyond the ends of the yielding strip and affording means for securing the sheet within a shoe.
Inl testimony whereof, I afiix my signature.
