ALBERT E. PECKHAM, G3! GRAND-BAPIDS{MZCHIGANJ BOOT AND snon nuns.
' Application filed December 3,1923. senai nosersaret To all whom may concern:
Be it known that I, Ansnnr E. PECKHAM, citizen of the United States, residing at Grand Rapids, in the county of Kent and 5 State of lilichiga-n, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Boot and Shoe Heels, of which the following is a specification. I
My invention relates to improvements in boot heels, and its objects are: first, to provide a means whereby a rubber heel may be secured to the leather heel lifts upon a boot or shoe in such a manner as to avoid the danger of a crack showing between the rubber heel and the leather lifts; second, to provide a means whereby the nails that secure a rubber heel to the leather lifts will be prevented from being forced up into the heel of the wearer of a shoe equipped with my invention, and, third, to provide a means whereby the danger of the rubber heel being severed from the lifts is reduced to a minimum.
I attain these objects by the construction of parts shown in the accompanying drawings, in which F ig. 1 is a plan of a shoe heel with one side shown in section to disclose the application of the washer through which the retaining nails are driven. Fig. 2 is a sectional plan of the upper layer of the rubber heel taken on theline 2-2 of Fig. 3. Fig. '8 is an elevation. of a heel, partly in section, as it is attached to a shoe. Fig. d is a plan, and Fig.
0 IS a perspective of the washer through which the shoe nails are driven.
Similar reference characters indicate similar parts throughout the several views.
In the accompanying drawing 1 represents the rubber heel as it is secured to the lifts 9 of shoe, outlined at 10. To carry out my invention I imbed a thin soft metal plate 3 into the rubber heel a short distance from its upper surface, as indicated in Figs. 1 and 3, this plate having small holes 8 through it for the .passage of the nails ll The part 2 of the rubberheel, between the plate 3 and the lifts 9 of the shoe heel, is punctured with large, square v0 openings 5, having partitions 7 between .them, and in position so that the metal plate or washer will be lodged in the heel the nail and the lower surface of the lower back of the heel, then the two corner, or
be drawn or bent through the openings 5 and clamped firmly between the head of lift 9, which being firm and hard will hold the plate securely in place, as indicated at 4: in the cut away part, A, of the rubber as shown in Fig. 3, and this bendingand secure clamping of the plate so compresses the edges of the partitions "7 that any possibility of an opening appearing between the n upper surface ofthe rubber heel and the" lowersurface of 'the heel lift is thereby eliminatedu d When placing these heels upon a boot or shoe the nail that passes through the opening at the back of the heel should be driven first to insure the proper placing of the outside nails, at the front of the heel, should i be driven. This forthe purpose, first, of properly locating the rubber heel upon the shoe, and, second, to insure the greatest possible strain upon the plate 3' when the nails are driven, thus drawing the rubber surface as snugly and firmly as possible upon the leather lifts that form the upper part of the heel. t will be readily understood that with the metal plate 3 bearing upon the hard surface of the sole leather lifts 9, it. will be impossible for the nail to be forced any further inwardly and thus,
possibly, injuring the heel of the wearer of the shoe.-
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new in the art, is:
1.111 combination with a rubber heel having a soft metal plate molded therein near the upper face of the heel, the sheet 95 ofrubber above said plate having large openings therethrough from said plate to the outer surface, forming partitions between said openings in such amanner that the driving of nails through the sheet metal 1 plate into the lifts of a shoe heel will bend the metal plate through the said openings and press the partitions firmly against .tthe
surface of the lift thus holding the rubber heel fiLlTllI-i upon the lifts and preventing partitions between said openings, said open- 10 further advancement of the nail into the i'ngs and partitions being immediately over heel of the shoe. said plate and between said plate and theheel 2. In combination with a rubber heel lifts upon which the rubber heel is planted,
5 having a perforated soft metal. plate vuland means for securing said plate to said oani z ed into the rubber near its upper surheel lifts through the perforations therein. 15 face the sheet of rubber above the metal Signed at Grand Rapids, ,Michigan, plate having large openings therethrough November 27, 1923. adjacent to the perforations in the plate, 7 ALBERT E. PEGKHAM.
