BOOT-JACKS.
Patented Dec. 21, 1.875.
UNI ED STATES PATENT OFFI o:
ISAAO MASSIE, OF IRONTON, 01110.
IMPROVEMENT IN Bo'oT-JAcK's.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 171,398, dated December 21, 1875; application fili October 30, 1875. [v s I .To all whom it may concern:
Be it known thatI, ISAAC MASSIE, of Iron- Fig. 3 is a side elevation.
A in the accompanying drawings is the frame of the device, which is properly braced, and at its rear suitably inclined to support the bridge a, upon which the operator stands.
The brace b is properly recessed at its center and placed on the frame below and in front of the bridge a, and has mounted upon it the pivots cl of the jaws B, which are hinged together and have their rear ends connected by the spiral spring 0, which, pressing the rear ends of the jaws outward, give the front ends a pressure toward each other. The cords D are connected to the frontends of the jaws B, whence they pass about the pulley-wheels f, secured in an oblique position on the edge of the frame.- Extending upward and forward, the cords pass over the ends of the grooved arms h, secured at their other ends to the axle E, to which, also, the ends of the cords are attached. The axle E is mounted on hearings in the tops of the standards F, the bases of which are secured near the front of the frame, the axle being enlarged between the standards and its center, having the tongue H, which projects rearward and slightly downward toward the jaws B, its front extremity pass through the axle and provided with the tical lever I, the upper end of which is tended to be within convenient reach of operators hands. The operator, stand upon the bridge a, forces the lever I forwa This rotates the axle E, elevating the tong H and the grooved arms h, tightening 1 cords D, and thus expanding the jaws That portion of the boot immediately abt the heel is now placed between the jaws the toe of the boot being inclined somewl downward, when the-lever I is allowed to sume its vertical position, which allows t jaws to close upon the counter of the boot, 1 tongue H descending upon the toe there It is obvious that by drawing upon the h the boot may be readily removed, as the pre ure upon the toe greatly facilitates the ope. tion.
What I claim as my invention, and desi to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The jaws B and spring 0, in OOInblllttlJl with the cords D, axle E, and lever I, substa tially as specified.
2. The combination of the tongue H, axle I lever I, cords D, and jaws B, substantially stated. I
In testimony that I claim the foregoing i1 provements in boot drawers, as above d scribed, I have hereunto set my hand a1 seal this 8th day of October, 1875.
