A. LESZKOWjCZ SHOE HEATING DEVICE Filed Sent. 21 1922 f Illlllll H' Patented Feb. 1.2. 192d.
UNETEE STATES .ADOLF LEgZKOWICZ, 0F BIN GI-IAMTON, NEW YORK.
SHOE-HEATING DEVICE.
. Application filed September 21, 1922. Serial No. 589,604.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I AnoLr Lnsznowroz, a citizen of Poland, reslding at Binghamton, in the county of Broome and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shoe-Heating Devices, of which the following is a specification.
In the manufacture of boots and shoes, it is important to soften certain portions of the shoe. such for example as the toe portion, including the box toes, to put the upper materials, lining, boX toe, box toe gum, shellac or the like in proper temper to coin plete the lasting operation.
The particular purpose of the present invention is therefore the provision of a heater which utilizes steam and supplies heat and moisture, to properly heat and soften the toes in an expeditious way without burning the upper or tending to soften the sole of the shoe thus making the sole unworkable.
l/Vith the above general objects in view Y and others that will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists of the novel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawing and claimed.
In the drawing, wherein like reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views,
Figure 1 is a fragmentary side elevational view of my improved device, a portion of the same being shown in cross section, there also being shown in outline a conventional form of shoe suitably supported for engagement with the shoe heating device,
Figure 2 is a top plan view of the device as shown in Fig. 1, the steam chamber being further shown in dotted line,
Figure 3 is a bottom plan View of this steam chamber drawn upon an enlarged scale, and
Figure 4 is a longitudinal cross sectional view of the chamber shown in Fig. 3.
With specific reference to the several figures, and more particularly to Fig. 1, there is shown in outline a shoe support comprising a base 1, having spaced vertical standards 2 and 3, carrying at their upper ends sole and heel rests 4 and 5 respectively for supporting thereon a shoe 6, so positioned as to permit the toe portion thereof to engage beneath my improved heating and moistening device for heating and moistening the toe preliminarily to its lasting operation, for purposes readily apparent to those skilled in the art. If desired, the shoe supporting ends 4 and 5 of the standards 2 and 3 may have thereon a connecting plate 7 of substantially the same configuration as the bottom of the shoe for effecting a support for the complete length thereof.
\My improved device comprises a steam chamber 8 including a top and bottom wall 9 and 10 joined at their sides and endsby a connecting wall 11. This steam chamber 8 is so formed as to substantially conform to the configuration of a shoe toe upper as more clearly shown in Fig. 1. It is to be understood that any number of these steam chambers 8 may be provided of varying dimensions for positioning upon the toes of shoes of different sizes. The wall 9 of the steam chamber has an annular opening 11 centrally thereof and has formed therearound and as an integral part of this upper wall a-pipe section 12 which is in the form of an elbow andhas formed upon the opposite end thereof depending pipe section 13. This depending pipe section 13 of the elbow 12 is adapted for positioning upon the upper end of a vertically extending pipe 14,. the relation between the pipes Band 14: being such as to permit ready vertical adjustment of the steam chamber 8 upon this pipe 1 1 thereby permitting the said steam chamber to engage over the toes of shoes of different sizes. 8 is further so positioned upon the pipe 14 as to allow the same to swing thereon as shown in dotted linesin Fig. 2 for allowing the shoe 6 to be positioned upon the standards 2 and 3. i
The bottom end of the pipe 14!: has communication with a steam dome 15 of any desirable construction, and it will be readily understood that the pipe 14 may have a valve associated therewith for cutting off the steam from the dome 15 to the chamber 8.
Referring more in particular to Figs. 3 and 4:, the bottom wall 10 of the steam cham-- her 8 is shown as being suitably perforated at 16 around the forward edges thereof, the central forward portion of this bottom wall 10 being provided with an outlet tit 17 for receiving one end of a flexible pipe 18 for readily allowing escape of condensed steam between the Walls 9 and 10.
From the above description it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the The steam chamber 5.
time a shoe may be readily supported upon these standards and the steam chamber then swung about the pipe 14: for close engagement with the toe of the shoe, whereby steam having communication through the pipe 14 through the elbow section 12 into the steam chamber '8 and thence outward through the perforations 16 in the bottom wall 10 thereof whereby the toe of the shoe is effectively heated and moistened.
While there is herein shown and described the preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is nevertheless to be understood that minor changes may be made therein 7 without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.
What is claimed as new is:-
1. In combination witha support for a shoe, means for heating and moistening the toe of the shoe and positioned adjacent thereto, said heating means comprising a steam chamber having communication with a steam dome, and being so constructed as to permit of relatiye swinging and sliding movements of the steam chamber toward and away from the toe of the shoe.
2. In combination with a support for a shoe upper, a shoe heating device positioned adjacent the toe of thershoe and comprising a steam chamber positioned for engagement upon the toe of the shoe, supporting means for heating chamber in the form of piping so as to establish communication between a steam dome and the heating chamber, the said supporting means facilitating vertical sliding movement of the heating chamber thereon andalso permitting of a relative swinging movement of the heating chamber toward and away from thetoe of the shoe.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
