To all whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, ROBERT M. MoUA'r, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Leonia, New Jersey, have invented new and useful Improvements in Display Devices, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in display devices and in particular to devices resembling a stockinged leg or ankle which are adapted to fit into the top of a shoe for advertising and display purposes.
Objects of my invention are to provide display devices of this character which may be made cheaply and in quantity, which are small in bulk and easily applied, which are artistic in themselves and which serve to set off attractively the shoes with which they are displayed. 7
These and other objects of my invention will appear more particularly in the following detailed description and claims and in the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof.
Figure 1 is a plan view of the form cut and decorated.
Fig. 2 shows the same in use.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of a modified form.
Fig. 4 is a section of the same.
Fig. 5 shows the same in use.
Referring to the drawings the form 1 is made of heavy paper flexible cardboard or other flexible sheet material cut substantially as shown in Fig. 1 with a toe portion at 2, heel portions 3 and 4 and an upper or instep portion 5. The form 1 is preferablyprinted or colored so that when in use it willsimulate a stocking. The forms may be printed and distributed in quantity and are consequently very inexpensive to manufacture and sell and convenient to handle.
When it is desired to use the form 1, the heel portions 3 and 4c are bent toward one another with the design on the outer or con-' vex side of the form. The form is then thrust into a shoe in the same manner as a foot, the toe portion 2 being toward the front and the heel portions 3 and 4 in the heel of the shoe. The form isthus held in bent position by the shoe and simulates a stockinged ankle. v
V In the modification shown in Fig. 3 the form 6 is stamped or pressed by any suitable and well known means into such form that on placing it in position in a shoe it SSumes the natural shape and outline of an instep ent that a shoe is much more attractively displayed to the eye'if it is set off by a handsome stocking. Heretofore the demand for such display devices has been met by the use of solid lasts and bulky forms upon which expensive hosiery is used. But such means are cumbersome and costly. My improved device may be printed in a great variety of colors and designs adapted for every sort of low shoe; it is inexpensive to make and most adaptable for use and handling.
Having thus described my invention, what 1 claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A display device comprising a single fiat sheet having its edges cut to form a toe portion and oppositely disposed heel portions and having an intermediate instep portion decorated to. simulate thecorresponding portion of a stocking, the said sheet being sufficiently stiff to form the semblance of a stockinged instep when the toe and heel portions of the sheet are brought within the-corresponding portions of a shoe but without i being stiff enough to stretch said shoe.
2. A display device comprising a single flat sheet cut to form-a toe portion and oppositely disposed heel portions, the said sheet being adapted to assume the substantially conical shape, of an instep when the toe and heel portion ofthe sheet are brought within the corresponding'parts of a shoe and. to be held in suchv shape entirely by the shoe without substantial pressure on the shoe, the sheet being further adapted to become fiat when withdrawn from the shoe.
3. A display device comprising a unitary flat sheet of flexible material cut to form a toe portion and oppositely disposed heel portionsand an intermediate instep portion decoratedto simulate the corresponding por tion of a stocking, the said sheet being adapted to be bent in substantially conical form to produce the semblance of a stockinged in step when the said toe and heel portions are inserted in the corresponding portions shoe.
4. A display device comprising a unitary flexible sheet having a toe portion and oppositely disposed heel portions, the said sheet being normally a plane surface when ofa not in use and being adapted to be bent into ble to allow the heel portions to be brought 10 substantially conical form to produce the adjacent one another Within the heel portlon semblance of an ankle and instep When the of a shoe Without stretching the said shoe, said toe and heel portions are inserted in the and sufficiently stiff to retain its shape Withoorresponding portions of a shoe. out other support When the said device is in 5. A display device comprising a single position in a Shoe. 15 piece of flat, unmolded, material having a In testimony whereof, I have signed my toe portion and oppositely disposed heel name to this specification. portions, the saiolmaterial being'freely flexi- ROBERT M.
