Application filed January 14, 1928. Serial No. 246,803.
This invention relates to concealed box toes for stiffening the toe portions of shoes and boots; and it consists in the novel construction of the box toe as hereinafter fully described and claimed. A box toe constructed according to this invention is specially adapted for use in the shoes and boots worn by molders, machinists and others whose occupations make them liable to have their feet injured by heavy castings falling on them, and by other causes. I In the drawings, Fig. 1 is a longitudinal sectionof the toe portion of a shoe, provided with a box toe according to this invention. Fig. 2 is a side View of the box toe removed from the shoe. Fig. 3 is a rear end view of the box toe; and Fig. 4 is a plan view of it from above. Fig. 5 is a plan view, from below, showing a modification of the box toe.
The shoe upper 6 has a toe portion 7, and is secured to an outsole 8 in any approved way. An insole 9 is provided, and
these parts are of any approved make.
The box toe 10 is preferably formed of cast aluminum, for strength and lightness,
but it may be formed of any other approved material. The box toe is shaped to fit the toe portion of the shoe, and it has a base plate 12 formed integrally with it and provided with holes 14. This base plate is arranged under the insole 9, and is secured to the insole by rivets 15 or other approved fastening devices. The base plate extends crosswise between the-sides of the box toe, and is arranged to project rearwardly of the top edge 16 of the top of the box too, so that the holes are easy of access. A narrow inwardly projecting flange 17 is formed around the bottom edge of the front part of the box toe, and forms the front part of the base plate. The base plate is provided with an opening 18, under the top of the box toe, in order to lighten it'and to fasten the upper to the insole.
These box toes are formed right and left,
and an opening or wide slot 19 is provided in one side portion of each box toe, to accommodate the little toe of the wearer. The
In the modification shown in Fig. base plate 22 does not project so far rearwardly as the base plate 12, and a lug 23 is formed at the front art of the box toe which projects rearwar ly from the flange 17. This box toe is also of a little diflerent shape from that shown in Figs. 1 to 4.
What I claim is: I
1. A box toe formed of cast metal and having an integrally formed base flange 5the which projects inwardly around its bottom have aflixed my JAMES E. WILLIAMS.
