Description
April 29, 1930. J. R. McGRAlL SHOE SHANK SUPPORTER Filed Sept. 25, 1929 110/171 R. MEET-rail lwvevjfnr Affu'rne Patented Apr. 29, 193i) arteries JOHN R. MGGRAIL, or LYNm-MAssAcHUsETrs SHOE-SHANK SUPPORTER Application filed September 25, 1929. Serial No. 395,119.
by placing beneath the center line portion of the shoe, extending from just back of the ball to beyond the front heel line, a resilient cushion support member and embedding therein at a point on the normal front heel line, a wear resisting element, such as bakelite or other suitable wear resisting material, all as shown in the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my device. Figure 2 is a side view of a shoe with my resilient cushion device applied thereto. Figure 3 is a top View of the shoe and device shown in Figure 2. Figure 4 is a cross sectional view of my device showing the wear resisting element embedded therein.
Referring again to the figures, A shows the longitudinal supporting portion of my device, the front end of which E is positioned .just rear of the ball portion of the shoe C.
The rear end D is preferably, for purposes of easy application, arrow head shaped and extends beneath the heel area in order to positively tie the shoe together at its shank, and thus avoid the commonly experienced shoe stretching and sagging at that point. E shows the wear resisting element positioned on the normal front heel line and extending preferably half through the resilient cushion. The arrow head shape of the cushion device renders it readily attached to any ordinary heel by straight edge cuts into the heel, but the arrow head my be optionally changed to other design provided the rear end is widened to assist in holding the shank supporting portion in its intended position. The
' device may also be made integral with the heel.
While I have illustrated and described a preferred construction for carrying my invention into effect, this is capable of variation or modification without departing from the spirit of the invention. I therefore do not wish to be limited to the exact details of construction herein set forth but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claim.
Having thus described my invention I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States of America:-
A shank support for a shoe comprising a 69 head and a shank supporting portionof resilient material, said head being adapted to be inserted in the heel portion of the shoe to secure the same and the shank supporting portion extending to a point just back of 55 the ball of the shoe.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
JOHN R. MoGRAlL.
