v JOHN' DE SAN'CTIS, OF HUBBABD, OHIO.

SHOE JACK.

Application led February To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN Dir SANcrrs, citizen of the United States, residing at Hubbard, in the county of rIrumbull and State 5 of Qhio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shoe Jacks, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in what are ordinarily known as shoe-jacks or shoemakers jacks,-the object being to provide a simple, substantial and durable structure of the kind, which may be made to accommodate two workmen if desired, and having means whereby the lastmay be adjusted` to, and iirmly held in, such position as will best serve the convenience and comw fort of the workman.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevaw tion of my device showing the last in an upright or vertical position.

Figure 2 is an end view of my device.

Figure 3 is a top plan view, partially in section, showing the last in a lateral or horizontal position.

Figure 4 is a view in perspective of a support for the toe of the last.

Figure 5 is a modified view of a solid cross-head which may be used if desired.

Similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the various figures of the drawings.

1 represents the base, to which is rigidly secured the standard 2. If desired this standard may consist of a plurality of sections, as 2a and 2b, threadedly joined, as indicated at 2, for the purpose of adjusting the height to the convenience of the workman.

Mounted upon the upper end of the standard is the U-shaped cross-head 3. Each arm or branch of this cross-head is provided near its upper end with

horizontal openings

4 and 5, and also with a vertical opening 6 extending from its upper face downwardly and communicating with the horizontal opening As the two ends of this head-block are duplicates in design and construction a description of one will suffice.

Vertically disposed on top of the crosshead 3 (Figure 1) is the spool 7, on the upper end of which is mounted the last 8. The spool and the last is each provided with an opening which registers with the vertical opening 6 Yin the cross-head, and the various elements are held in assembled relation by 24., 1922. Serial No. 538,836.

the bolt 9 secured bythe nut 10 disposed in the horizontal opening 4 of the cross-head.

lilvlth this Construction the last may be turned into such horizontal position as will be most convenient to the workman.

11 represents an arm rigidly secured to the standard 2, and designed to engage one end of a holding strap or loop 12-the upper end of which passes over the work on the last .for the purpose of holding the same rigidly in position.

In order to hold the work more rigid and lirin, I provide an additional support for the toe of the last, in the form of a standard 13 secured to the horizontal portion of the cross-head 3, as at 14, and extending upwardly to engage the toe of the last.

In Figure 3 the spool 7 and the last 8 are shown secured to the head-block 3 in a horizontal position and held in assembled relation by the bolt 9 which passes through the horizontal opening 5 in the head-block, and is secured by the nut 10. This disposition of the last makes it practical to position the work at a desired angle for conveniently working upon the sides of a shoe.

If desired, the cross-head 3 may be of solid formation, as shown in Figure 5.

I claim:

1. In a device of the character described, a base, a standard rigidly secured thereto, a U-shaped cross head mounted on said standard and having openings in its upper free end, a last adjustably mounted upon each of the upper ends oi the U-shaped cross head, means associated with said lasts and openings or holding the lasts in adjusted posin tion, a support adjustably secured to the base of said cross head beneath the toe of said last, an arm attached to said standard and extending laterally on a vertical plane with said cross head and a loop embracing said arm and last and adapted for longitudinal adjustment thereon.

2. In a device of the character described, a base, a standard rigidly secured thereto, a U-shaped cross head mounted upon said standard and having openings in its upper free ends, a last adjustably associated with each of the upper ends of said cross head, means associated with said last for removably securing the same to said cross head in either a vertical or horizontal p0- sition, a support adjustably secured to the base of said cross head beneath the toe my signature in the presence of two Witof said last, an arm attached to said standard nesses. and extending laterally in a Vertical plane with said cross head, and a loop embracing JOHN DE SANCTIS 5 said arm and last and adapted for longtn- Vtnesses:

dnal adjustment thereon. W. A. SABKE,

In testimony whereof I hereunto axed ALICE MCGINN.
