SHOE-LAST STAND.
Application filed June 19, 1919. Serial No. 305,304.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that WILLIAM A. Earn, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Springfield, in the county of Clark and State of Ohio, has invented new and useful Improvements in Sl1oeLast Stands, of which the following is a specification.
The object of the invention is to provide a simple and relatively inexpensive shoe last stand or support and contemplating the combination of a plurality of last elements of graduated sizes in a single mechanism so that a last of the required size may be readily presented for use and locked in the desired position for convenience of the shoemaker with a minimum of effort and loss of time upon his part, to avoid the disadvantages incident to the employment of separate lasts and the successive displacement and mounting of different lasts as changes in the sizes of shoes to be handled occur in the course of work, and to this end the invention consists in a combination and construction of parts hereinafter described, it being understood that changes in form and proportion may be resorted to, within the scope of the claim, without departing from the principles involved.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a mechanism embodying the invention.
Fig. 2 is asectional view of the same.
The apparatus consists essentially of a standard 10 having a base plate 11 which may be permanently attached to the floor in any convenient position, the upper portion of said standard being deflected to form the relatively yieldable jaws 12 between which upon a suitable spindle 13 is mounted the head 14:. This head 14 is provided with a plurality of arms 15 upon the extremities of which are formed or fitted last elements 16, the last elements being of graduated sizes and being movable by the reason of the revoluble mounting of the head so that a last of the required size may be at any time brought within the convenient reach of the operator and may be disposed at any angle which may suit his convenience and the character of work to be performed. The
spindle 13 upon which the head is mounted consists in the construction illustrated of a bolt having its head 17 in engagement with one of the aws and having a thumb or lever nut 18 threaded upon its opposite ends in contact with the other jaw so that by loosening the nut the jaws may be permitted to spring apart sufiiciently to release the head so that it may be turned to present a last of the desired size to the operator, and when properly positioned the head may be fast ened by the retightening of the nut so as to produce a frictional engagement between the inner surfaces of the jaws and the surface of the head sufficient to prevent accidental displacement.
It is obvious that the standard with its jaws and the base plate may be formed of a single casting or forging as also may the head with its arms and terminal last elements, so as to simplify the construction and cost of manufacture of the device and at the same time minimize the risk of injury or displacement of the elements in use.
The invention having been described, what is claimed as new and useful is:
A shoe last stand having a standard bifurcated at its upper end to provide relatively yieldable jaws, a head disposed between the flanges of said jaws and having radial arms having terminal last members, a pivot bolt connecting said jaws and extending axially through said head to revolubly mount the same on the standard, and a clamping nut engaging said bolt for actuating the jaws to secure them infrictional engagement with the interposed head.
In testimony whereof he afiixes his signature.
