* UNITED s'nvres JOHN C. SHERRY, OF SEATTLE, WASHINGTON.
CUSHION HEEL.
Application filed. April 30, 1923. Serial No. 635,496.
To all whom it may concern..-
Be it known that I, JOHN C. SHERRY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Seattle, county of King, and State of Washington, have invented a new and useful Cushion Heel; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact specification, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The invention is a metallic cushion heel that may be placed in a rubber heel to lengthen its life.
The object of the invention is to provide a cushion heel that will not wear ofi on one side.
Another object of the invention is to provide a telescoping casing with a spring in it that may be placed in a rubber heel.
And a further object of the invention is to provide a metallic cushion that may be placed in a round hole in a rubber heel.
l/Vith these ends in view the invention embodies a base plate that may be nailed to a shoe which has sections bent outward at right angles, the outer surfaces of which form a circle and the outer ends of which have ridges thereon. A cup shaped casing may be placed over the sections and its edge bent inward and a spring placed between the casing and the base plate.
Other features and advantages of the invention will appear from the following description taken in connection with the drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a side view of the heel with a part of the rubber heel broken away.
Figure 2 is a bottom view of a heel showing the device in place.
Figure 3 is a cross section through the metallic cushion.
Figure 4 is a plan view of the base plate In the drawings I have shown my device as it would be made wherein numeral 1 indicates the base plate, numeral 2 the cup shaped casing and numeral 3 the spring.
The base plate 1 may be made as shown in Figures 3 and 4 with sections 4 bent outward in the form of a cylinder with the outer ends bent over to form a ridge 5. In the outer edge of the plate are holes 6 by which the plate may be attached to'the heel of'a shoe by nails or any other means desired. The cup shaped casing 2 may be, made in the form of a cylinder with one end open and the outer surface of its closed end grooved as shown in Figure 2. This casing may be placed over the cylindrical shaped sections 4; with a spring. 3 inside and the edges 7 of the casing may be bent in ward as shown so that they will engage the ridge 5 and hold the casing to the base. The spring 3 may be of any suitable size or material and when free should be somewhat longer than the distance between the base plate and the end of the casing 2 so that when in place it will hold the edges 7 against the ridge 5. It will be seen that as a pressure is applied against the casing 2 it will move upward along the cylindrical shaped sections 4:. 7
It will be understood that changes may be made in the construction without departing from the spirit of the invention. One
of which changes may be in the shape or design of the casing 2 as it is understood this may be oval or of any desired shape, or may have openings in'its closed end and the ridge 7 may be formed in any desired manner. Another change may be in the shape of the base as it is understood this may be made in any suitable design or size. And still another change may be in the method of attaching it to ashoe or the means for placing it in a heel.
The construction may be readily understood from the foregoing description. To use the device it may be attached to the leather port-ion of a heel and may be placed either in the center or to either side as shown by the dotted lines in Figure 2 and a circular opening may be placed in a rubber heel so that it will fit over the casing 2. The rubber heel may then be attached in the usual manner which will completely cover the cushion at the sides so that it will not be seen except from the bottom. The outer surface of the casing 2, which may be made of steel may be chilled so that it will wear for the life of the shoe. It will be seen that as the surface of the cushion is harder than the rubber it will take the entire load so that the rubber heel will also last for the life of the shoe.
Having. thus fully described the invention What I claim as new, and desire t0'se 5 cure by Letters Patent, is
In a cushion for heels, a smell cylindrical casing having a ridge at one end and the opposite end closed, adisk having sections stamped outward and bent slightly over to engage the ridge of the cylinder, and a spring between the casing and disk, said device being adaptable to be inserted in an opening in a heel.
JOHN C. SHERRY.
