THOMAS RENDIJE; OF OTTAWA, ILLINOIS.

I SHOE REPAIRING STAND.

Application filed April 13, 1925. Serial No. 22,914.

My invention relates to my Patent No.

1,382,546, dated June 21, 1921, and the objects of the invention consist in providing the combination of a heel part and mount, a last mount, a two sole last and mount, a whole last, a base, and a shoe holding device.

I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which Figure one (1) is a plan view of the whole last, Figure two (2) is a perspective view of the entire stand, Figure three (3) is a top view of the cleat mount, circular mount, and slot mount, Figure four (4:) is a perspective view of the fore part and cleat mount, Figure five (5) is a vertical section of the heel part, Figure six (6) is a plan view of the shoe holding device, Figure seven (7) is a perspective view of the two sole last, and Figure eight (8) is a plan view of the two sole last.

Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

The tubular standard 1 has a circular last mount 2 and a rigidly fixed cleat 3 at the rear, and a slot 4 therebetween at the upper part having a convex inner and lower surface, the cleat 3 having a groove 7 at each side and a transverse perforation 12. The heel has a concave breast 15 and a slot 6 with an arm at each side each having an indenture 14 at the rear. A bolt 13 is inserted in the perforation 12 whereby the heel part is securely held. The fore part has a circular socket 17 and a set of grooves 20 at the, rear and a groove 18 in front of said socket, whereby the fore part may cooperate with the said cleat 3 and the heel part, for right and left shoes.

The whole last 5 isprovided with a circular socket 17 to cooperate with the said circular last mount 2 and has a groove 18 in front, and one groove 19 at the rear of said socket 17 to cooperate with the said cleat 3, whereby the said last 5 may be held in a fixed position and also reversed. The tubular standard 1 unites the

last mounts

2, 3, and 4: and the base 8, and is embraced by the shoe holding device 9 the loop 10 being connected therewith. The said base 8 has a perforation 16 in the center and the standard 1 is fixed to the rear of the said perforation 16. The shoe holder 9 has an aperture opening at one side and a handle or lever loosely inclo'sing the standard 1 which may be moved up or down or in a circular direction, where by the shoe may be drawn toward different sides. The base 8 is circular with means whereby the entire stand may be moved in a circular direction.

The two sole last has two cleats 22 which are rigidly fixed together, having an offset at the shank of each sole, and there is a perforation 12 toward the rear in each of said cleats 22 each cleat also having a groove 7 at each side and across the end and tapered toward the rear of each sole 21, whereby the heel part may cooperate withthe said cleats 22, and a bolt through the said perforation 12, and is securely held, and the last 21 may be reversibly mounted in the slot 4 of the last mount.

The operation is as follows:

The stand upon the floor for a sitting position of the operator is held with the operators feet at the base, and in a standing position of the operator it is fixed to the floor or upon a bench by one or more bolts or screws through the perforations in the base. The standard between the base and the last should be long enough (but may be much longer) to allow the shoe-holder to move vertically low enough after the loop is placed over the shoe to be operated upon and then forced down over the standard and set pressing upon the short end. The eircular base may be made pivotal or rigid upon the floor or work bench.

I claim:

1. The combination in a shoe repairing stand of a standard having a circular last mount and a rigidly fixed cleat at the rear thereof, said cleat having a groove at each side and a perforation therethrough, a heel part having a slot therein and an arm at each side thereof to cooperate with the grooves of the cleat, and also having indentures to cooperate with the perforation and a bolt in said cleat, whereby the heel part may be securely held, and a fore part having a circular socket and a pair of grooves at the rear and a groove infront of the socket whereby the forepart may be mounted to cooperate with the said cleat and the heel part for right and left shoes, the said standard I uniting the last mounts with the base and having a shoe holding device comprising a loop and an arm encircling the standard, said arm being movable vertically and angularly with respect to the standard.

2. The combination in a shoe repairing stand of a standard having a circular last mount, a heel mount cleat and a last mount slot, a heel part having a slot with an arm at each side to cooperate with the -ro'oves of the cleat, and a two-sole last, the two-sole last being provided with two cleats rigidly fixed together, there being an offset at the shank of each sole and a perforation through each of said cleats and also a groove in each cleat tapering toward the rear of each sole, whereby the two-sole last may be reversibly mounted on the said circular last mount of the said standard, and the heel part securely held on the other cleat at the same time, for

supporting shoes of different sizes.
