Description
Jan. 7, 1930. A. BoNo SHOE HEEL Filed Nov. 15,1928
Inventor Andrew Bono,
Attorney.
Patented Jan. 7, 1930 PATENT OFFICE ANDREW BONO, OF NEW YORK, N. Y. Y
. SHOE HEEL Application filed November 15, 1928. Serial No. 319,560.
The object of this invention is to provide a heel structure for high heels with a removable tread portion which is attachable without employing adhesives and by means which will not weaken'the heel or subject it to such wear byrepeated removals and renewals of treads as Will impair the firmness of the connection.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings which forms a part of this description, and
illustrates this invention,
Figure 1 is a section through a shoe-heel body,
Fig. 2 is a-perspective of the tread portion, and
Fig. 3 is a section through theheel body with the tread portion in place.
Fig. 4 is a perspective of a modification of the removable tread portion in which.the
plate is set in a recess in the tread so as not to show when in place on the heel body.
The shoe heel comprises a heel body 10 which may be of hard wood or other suitable material for a high heel. Entering the lower end of the body is a centrally located hole 11 which substantially follows the axis of the heel body, this being usually inclined with respect to the bottom. The body is thus weakened as little as possible by the hole.
removable The hole at its upper end 12 is enlarged and,
the enlarged part connects with the main portion of the hole through an inclined or tapering shoulder 13. A lining 14 covers the heel body.
A removable tread portion consists of a metal plate 15 with a lip 16 to engage the inner side of the heel body, and also with points 17, 17 which engage the lining, and both the oints and the lip serve to prevent rotation of the tread portion-and .displacement with respect to the heel body. A tread 18 of rubber or leather or other suitable tread material is riveted to the'under side of the plate or 5 otherwise firmly attached thereto, as by rivets 19, 19. A shank 20 upstanding from the plate is riveted thereto and sets at the proper angle for entering the hole and bring the plate level and into proper contact against 0 the underside of the heel body. The shank is split to form two elastic forks 21, 21 with heads 22, 22. The undersides of the heads have inclined shoulders 23, 23 and the heads are so shaped that they can pass through the hole in the heelbody when the forks are brought together. The forks being elastic are normally spread and the shoulders under the heads engage the shoulder in the hole and keep the tread ortion from falling out.
When the treads become worn and require renewal or by reason of their becoming worn 0 on the side it is desired to exchange between the shoes and even the wear, removal is effected by inserting a pry or wedge between the plate and the shoe body and forcibly pulling out the shank as a nail would be extracted. For renewal, treads will be provided which have plates and shanks attached, these being inexpensive and discarded usually with the worn treads. Shoes will be sold with enough extra tread portions to cover the expected life of the shoes, or extra treads may be supplied afterwards through stores' or repair shops as called for. The points are sufliciently small and pointed to engage the thin lining. It is not essential that the shank and plate should be of separate pieces of metal.
I claim:
1. A shoe-heel body with a hole entering at its lower end and enlarged at its upper end, the enlargement being joined to the main portion of the hole through a tapering shoulder, in combination with a removable tread portion consisting of a plate, a tread fastened to the plate, and an upstanding elastic forked shankfwith heads on the forks of the shank in engagement with the shoulder.
2. A shoe-heel body with a hole entering at its lower end and enlarged at its upper end, the enlargement being joined to the main portion of the hole through a taper ing shoulder, in combination with a removable tread portion consisting of a plate, a tread fastened tothe plate, and an upstanding elastic forked shank rigidly connected to the plate with heads on the forks of the shank in engagement with the shoulder.
3. A shoe-heel body with a hole entering at its lower end and enlarged at its upper end, the enlargement being joined to the inaiif portion of the hole through a tapering shoulder, in combination with a removable tread portion consisting of a plate, a tread fastened to the plate, and an upstanding elastic forked shank rigidly connected to the plate with heads on the forks of the shank in engagement with the shoulder, and means for preventing the rotation of the tread portion on the heel body.
ANDREW BONO.
