' SHOE STICK1- Application filed January 10, iezef s i-iai No; 245,715.

'My invention, which relates to shoe sticks, and which has among its objects the provie sion of a stick having reinforced end portions for engagement witha support, will be best understood from the following description when read in the light of the accompanying drawing showing one specific embodiment of the invention, the scope of which invention will be more particularly pointed out in the appended claims; r i i r In the drawingz q Fig; 1 is a perspective view'of' a stick con structed according tothe invention; and V Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the end portion of the stick, constructed according to Fig. 1, in inverted position.

7 As illustrated the stick comprises a pair of anglearons having webs 1 arranged, backto back and webs 3 substantiallyin the same plane so as to form a bar of T-shaped crosssection. Herein the angle-irons are secured in assembled relation by rlvets orother su1table fastenings 5 which extend through the webs 1, said webs being slightly spaced-by washers 7 which surround the rivets. 7

As shown the bar formed as above described is provided with pairs of pins or pegs 9 for insertion into perforations in lasts to be 1 removably attached to the bar. Conveniently these pins at their ends may have a driving,

fit with irons. v I

As shown the webs-1 at the ends" of the angle-irons are folded against the vend portions of the webs 3 to form portions 11 providing fiat surfaces adapted to rest on a supperforations in the webs-ofthe angleport for the stick, the portions 11 being conv nectedto the unbent' portions of the webs by inclined portions 13 which preferably are of material extent longitudinally of the angle-irons so as to form braces between the end portions ofthe angle-irons and the body of the angle-irons.

It is found that where the shoe stickis employed for supporting heavy iron lasts used in. connection with fabricating rubber shoes considerable strain s placed uponthe' end portions 11, with a tendency to bend or break ofi said end portions. By the present construction the inclined portions 18 in conjunction with the double thicknesses at the ends of the angle-irons prevent such bending or breakage.

' It will be understood that wide deviations may be made within the'scope of the inven tion from the embodiment thereof herein disclosed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
