'IMPROVEMENT IN BOOT-JACKS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 175,076, dated March 21, 1876; application filed March 31, 1875.
To all whom it may concern Beit known that I, JOHN GREEN, of Greenville, in the county of Montcalm and State of Michigan, haveinvented a new and Improved Boot-Jack; and I do hereby declare that the lollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specilication.
The invention is an improvement in that class of boot-jacks which are composed of two parts (standard and base) jointed together.
The object of the invention is to provide an improved device, simple and inexpensive in construction, also adapted to fold compactly, and to fit boots of various sizes.
Figure 1 of accompanying drawing is a perspective view of the boot-jack set up for use, and Fig. 2 represents the same folded and suspended against a wall.
The standard of thedevice is composed of two bars, B B, connected at the top by a crossbar, A, which serves as a handle in practical use. The base, crotch, or foot-piece O has a triangular or pear-shaped opening, A, to receive the boot to be drawn ofi. This opening may be practically enlarged by sliding the cross-bar or toe-piece D toward the fixed rod F, which joins the ends E of said crotch. To permit such movement of the toe-piece, its ends are fitted in niortises in the inner sides of the parallel end portions E of the crotch, as shown in the respective figures.
The device is used as follows: The standard B is set vertical, as in Fig. l, and supported by the hand applied to cross-bar A. The toe of the boot is then placed under and against the piece D, and the latter pushed or slid toward the round F, till the heel of the'boot falls into the angle of the crotch O. The toe of the other foot is then placed on the end 0 of the crotch, and the boot readily drawn off.
I do not claim, broadly, any of the abovedescrihed devices; but
What I claim is-- p The improved boot-jack, formed of the-bars B, connected by cross-bar A, the crotch G jointed thereto, and the toe-piece'D, arranged to slide in mortises in the parallel end portions E E of said crotch, as shown and described.
