G.y H. MORGAN RESILIENT HEEL Sept. 14 1926. I
Filed Jan. 18, 1924 'prefer to use what is Patented Sept. 14, 1926.
UNITED STATES GEORGE lI-I. MORGAN, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
RESILIENT. HEEL.
Application led January 18'. 1924i. Serial No.`687,029.
The object of this invention is to provide an all-leather heel which Will combine the superior Wearing characteristics of leather with a resiliency comparing favorably with that obtained in the usual manner by means of rubber lifts.
The invention further resides in novel means for securing the'heel to the shoe.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the attacheddrawings` in Which:
Figure l is a view in perspective of the heel; f y Fig. 2 1s an inverted plan Viewi and Fig 1s a section onthe line 8-3, Fig. 2.l
The advantages of resiliency in heels has been long recognized.y andit hasbeen customa-ry to employ in obtaining' this resiliency rubber or felt or similar resilient or semiresilient material in the Vforni of lifts, either bot-tom or tread lifts.y or intermediate lifts. Vhile affording general satisfaction, these heels are subject torapid reason of the nature Vof thev mate 1ia'ls eniployed. In the ordinary forni of resilient heel, the bottom lift is made lof rubber, and this heel has the disadvantage of being slippery in Wet Weather.
For general Wearing qualities7 it is desir! able to form the heel entirely of leather, since this possesses a strength and durability not found in any of the materials formerly used to obtain resiliency. I have discovered means whereby I may provide an all-leather deterioration by siliency to employ in the bottom or Wearing lift the usual oak sole-leather Whose hardness and Wear-resisting characteristics surpass otlierltypes. Y
' In Figure l, I have' illustrated a heel or the tvvo lower lifts thereof made in accordance with the'above description. The bottom or tread lift, preferably of hard rtanned leather such as oaln is designated bythe rreference numeral l, and to this is suitably secured, as by cement, an upper lift 2 of soft tanned leather such as chroma These lifts may be of anythickness desired, and there inay be in the heel still other lifts (not shown) and tanned or soft tanned leather.
In order tosecure the heel to the shoe or to the upper lifts in such manner as to preserve to the full extent the resiliency of the soft lift 2, I prefer to perforate the bottoni lift lfor reception kof thefsecuring means` these perforations 3 extending completely `through the-bottom lift, as lshown inlig. 3,'
so that the heads of the ynails l, by means of which these parts are. secured in the heel. bear against the soft leather lift 2. I have discovered that .vhenthe nails or tacks are driven'directly through the bottom lift, there is atendency to compr-ess the inner soft leather lift or lifts and, in part'to destrov their resiliency. l entirely eliminate by the device hereinbefore described, since obviously although thenails 4l may slightly compress vthe soft leather upper lift 2 at the points Where the heads bear against this lift, the greater area of the lift is left uncompressed and capable of exerting a cushioning effect to the full eX- tent ofits ability.
I claim: y f
l. A heel comprising' a bottoni lift of hard-tanned leather and an inner lift of soft-tanned leather. f l
2. A heel compril 'ng a bottomor Wearing lift of hard tanned oak leather and an inner cushioning' lift of soft tannedchrome leather,
