UNITED STATES PATENT FFICE.
ARTHUR C. JACKSON, PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOB, TO THE MILLER LOCK COMPANY, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, A CORPORATION OF PENN- SYLVAN IA.
SHOE TREE.
Application filed April 22, 1922. Serial No. 556,106.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ARTHUR C. JACKSON, a citizen of the United States, residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Shoe Trees, of
which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to make a shoe tree so that it can be inserted in a shoe having a wide toe, or in a shoe having a narrow pointed toe.
This object I attain in the following manner, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a plan view of a shoe tree made in accordance with my invention;
Fig. 2 is a side view;
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view;
Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view on the line 44:, Fig. 2;
Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional view on the line 55, Fig. 2;
Fig. 6 is a view illustrating my improved shoe tree inserted in a shoe; and
Fig. 7 is a view of two shoe trees together.
My improved shoe tree is preferably made of metal. 1 is a wide toe piece and 2 is a narrow pointed toe piece. The two toe pieces are connected by a thin strip of spring metal 3. The ends of the metal strip are secured to the toe pieces by rivets 4. The metal strip is made in different lengths to fit shoes of different sizes. The shape of the toe piece may be varied according to the particular shapes of shoes worn.
Each toe piece is made of sheet metal struck up into shape. The side members 5 rest on the insole of the shoe nearthe sides thereof. The rear ends of the sides are rounded, as at 6, so that the shoe tree can be easily and quickly removed from a nested shoe without scratching or tearing the insole.
When the wide toe piece 1 of the shoe tree is in position in a shoe, as in Fig. 6, the narrow toe piece 2 is at the heel and rests firmly against the inner surface of the shoe, holding the other toe piece in position. Owing to the rounded surfaces of the toe pieces, the lining of a shoe is not cut or disarranged.
When the pointed toe piece 2 is in place at the toe of a shoe, the wide toe piece 1 will fit neatly against the inner surface of the shoe at the heel.
The metal strip 3 has two perforations at each end, and, in the present instance, the rivets 4 are eyelet rivets formed from the metal of the toe pieces. These rivets are projected through the perforations in the strip 3 and are bent over the strip, securing the toe pieces firmly to the strip.
By making one of the metal strips 8 of the shoe tree slightly less in length than the other, the two trees can be nested, as in Fig. 7, minimizing the space occupied when v packed.
Shoe trees made, in accordance with my invention can be manufactured and sold at a reasonable price.
I claim:
1. A shoe tree consisting of a spring metal strip having a toe piece at each end, one toe piece being larger than the other, and each toe piece being formed to fit a shoe of a given shape.
2. A. shoe tree consisting of a spring metal strip having at one end a formed sheet metal toe piece and having at the opposite end a pointed sheet metal toe piece less in size than the first mentioned toe piece.
ARTHUR C. JAGKSON.
