SKATE CLAMP Filed March 28, 1922 INVENTOR:

warren STATES JOHN C. EBERLE, JR., 033 HADDON HEIGHTS, NE? JERSEY.
SKATE CLAMP.
Application filed. March 28, 1922. Serial No. 547,372.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JOHN G. EnnnLn, Jr., a citizen of the United States, residing at Haddon Heights, in the county of Camden, State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Skate Clamp, of which the following is a specification.
lVhen skates are employed with shoes having a rubber heel, the heel is often pulled oil, since it is ordinarily secured in place by cement and a few nails.
It is the primary object of my present invention to devise a novel construction of a clamp, detachablysecured to the heel, and with which the heel clamps of the skate will. co-operatc to secure the skate in position without any possibility of the rubber heel,
being pulled off during the skating.
A further object of my invention is to devise a novel clamp which will not inure the shoe and which can be cconmi'iically mamifactin'ed.
1th the above in view, my invention comprehends a .novel skate clamp.
Other novel features of construction and advantage will hereinafter more clearly appear in the detailed description.
For the purpose of illustrating my invention, I have shown in the accompanying drawings, one form thereof which is at present preferred by me, since the same will give in practice satisfactory and reliable results, although it is to be understood that the various instrumentalities of which my invention consists can be variously ar ranged and organized and that my l'l'lVUlL- tion is not limited to the precise arrange ment and organination of these instrinncn talities as herein shown and described.
Figure 1 represents .in side elevation a skate and a portion of the shoe to which it is attached by means of a clamp embodying my invention.
Figure 2 represents an end elevation of the construction seen in Figure 1.
Figure 3 represents a plan view of the clamp in detached position.
Figure 4; represents a rear elevation of the clamp.
Figure 5 represents a side elevation of the clamp;
Figure 6 represents an end elevation of another embodiment of my invention.
Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts.
Referring" to the drawings provided with the rear curved band 2,
which merges into the sides 3, which at their upper ends are inwardly deflected to form the flanges l. The sides 8 are provided with apertures 5 having a lower shoulder 6 against which bears the side heel clamping jaws 7, which as illustrated are moved to wards or away from each other by the keyactuated screw 12 of the usual construction, it being understood that any desired means may be employed for effecting the proper movement of the clamping The skate 9 is provided in the usual manner with the clamping jaws 10. The heel clamp is provided in the usual manner with the rear clamping jaw 11.
The manner in which my invention is eniployed will now be apparent to those skilled in this art, and is as follows The aux1hary skate clamp 1 embodying my invention is shpped forwardly on to the heel, so that the lips or inwardly extending flanges 4t overhang the upper part of the sole to which the heel is connected, and as the auxiliary clamp is preferably made of spring metal, it is retained in place by spring pressure. The skater then brings the skate into contact with the shoe sole and the heel, and the clam iing screws are tightened. When the re: 1? clamping screw 12 is tightened, the side clamping jaws 7 will move into the aperture 5 against the shoulder 3, so that the downward pull on the skate instead of taking place against the rubber heel 13, will take place tl'irough the overhanging flanges 4 of the auxiliary skate clamp, so that it will be impossible to have the rubber heel torn off during the act of skating. p
* It will of course be apparent that the manner in which the clamping jaws, such as 7 and 9, are tightened or loosened is immaterial, and any well-known or conventional type of actuating means for such clamping jaws may be employed.
My device can be very economically manufactured and has been found in practice to give very advantageous results.
I preferably make the rear strip 2 of less *idth than the side portions 3.
.l hile my present invention is especially adapted to be employed with shoes having rubber heels, it will be apparent that it can be advantageously employed in conjunction with the usual type of leather heel.
In accordance with the broad and generic spirit of my invention, it will be apparent that it involves any clamping means whether it forms a part of the clamping jaw or is a separate attachment, wherein the clamping action takes place in the wall oi the groove between the upper and the heel, and in Fig ure 6, I have shown a construction wherein, instead of making an auxiliary clamp, the side clamping jaws so proportioned and shaped that they will engage the groove between the upper of the shoe and the heel as will be readily understood by reference to Figure 6.
It will thus be understood that my present invention is not limited to a separate attachment as the side clamping jaws for the heel can be so constructed and arranged t-l at the strain instead oi. coming on the heel proper will come on the full sole portion which contributes with the upper to form the groove above the heel.
It will now be apparent that 1 have devised a novel and useful construction of a skate clamp which embodies the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the invention and the above description, and while I have, in the present instance, shown and described a preferred embodiment thereof which will give in practice satisfacto y and reliable results, it is to be understood that this embodiment is susceptible of modification in various particulars without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention or sacrificing any of its advantages.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
1. An auxiliary skate clamp comprising a narrow flexible band, the forward end of each side of which terminates in an enlarged part provided near its upper portion with an inwardly extending flange and with an aperture beneath said flange to accommodate a skate clamping jaw and also forming a shoulder adapted to co-operate with said clamping jaw.
An auxiliary skate clamp comprisingan arched and narrow flexible band the forward portion of each side of which terminates in an enlarged rectangular part, each upper edge of said rectangular part being provided with an inwardly extended flange, said rectangular part being further provided centrally with an apertured portion having a shoulder upon which a rear clamping jaw of a skate is adapted to impinge.
