B. KIND RESILIENT HEEL Filed Aug. 13, 1929' gwuwto o Patented July 29, 1939 BENJAMIN nitn, or nnnrnuonnnanvnnnn nnsriirnrrr HEEL Application filed August 13, 'SeriaI 'No. 385,528. i: 7
This invention relates to footwear and more particularly to the sole and heel-thereor.
The conventional types of leather or ruba her heels and soles employed in footwear at the present time possess numerous disadvantages, primarily due to the material and manner in which they are made. v Heels and soles made of leather are hard, non-shock ab- 19 sorbing, heat conducting as regards extremes of temperature and in most cases non-waterproof. On the other hand, heels andsoles made up of rubber, while obviating the disadvantages inherent in heels and soles made of leather to a certain extent, are nevertheless far from being satisfactory, it being well known that the wearing of footwear having solid rubber heels and soles is extremely uncomfortable.
a heel or sole, made of rubber or any other suitablematerial and embodying within-its structure a hermetically sealed bag or tube containing air under pressure, wherebythe resilient and shock absorbing, waterproof, and due to the layer of dead air therein the degree of heat conductivity under extremes of temperature will be practically reduced to hereunder, proceeds, reference being now hadv to the accompanying drawing, wherein Fig. 1 is a top plan view' of the heel, Fig. 2 is a detail plan view of the interior of the heel taken on line 2:2, Fig. 3, and
Fig 3 is a sectional elevational view of the heel taken on line 33, Fig. 1. e
The heel 1, constituting partof my invention, is made conventional in shape andof suitable material and comprises essentially a resilient housing comprising a top Qand a wall 8 integrally molded therewith and extending completely around the periphery of and f of" diifere'nt material.
The object of this invention is to providesame will render said heel and sole extremely Other objects of thisinvention will become said top portion as, clearly'shown in "2, said wall 3 being of uniform-thickness and depth throughout. If desired the top portion2 and thewall 3- may be made separate Formed integral with the wall 3 at spaced intervals thereof and extending inwardly, in the recess formed by said wall, are a plurality of lugs 4. At each of said lugs 4, and the corners, 5 and 6 of the heel, holes 7 are provided for a purposeto be hereinafter described, said holes extending through the entire depth of the wall 3. Each of said holes 7 are countersunk as at 8 on the top 2 of the heel 1. Positioned substantially. centrally within the interior of the heel 1, and molded integral with the top 2 is a depending boss 9, provided with a central hole or bore 7,countersunk at its upper end as at 8 ,the bottom of said'boss 9 being in'the same plane with the bottom of the side- 7 5.
wall 3, as clearly shown in Fig. 8.
In the space or recess formed between the" boss 9 and side wall 3 is inserted a substantially annular resilient inflated member 10,
somewhat on the order of an inner tube. The annular member 10 comprises a hermetically sealed rubber tube containing airunder pressure, sufficient to withstand the weight-of a .cave portion of said bulge as shown in' Fig 3.
A cover plate 12 made of either rubber or leather and of the same general contour as the heel proper is vulcanized or otherwise securedto the bottom edge of the wall 3 and boss 7 9 of said heel, said cover plate being provided through the holes 7 and 7 The heads of v said nails (not shown) being driven beneath the surface ofthe top 2 in themanner well known in the art.
I claim An elastic heel of resilient material comprising a top portion having an annular concave-convex bulge moulded thereon, a Wall of uniform depth and thickness extending around the entire periphery of said top portion and integral therewith, a plurality of spaced inwardly extending lugs integral with the interior of said Wall and each having a vertical hole therein, a centrally disposed vertical boss integral With the interior of saidtop portion, an annular tube of resilient material containing air under pressure positioned in said heel and adapted to seat in said concave bulge, and a flat cover plate for said heel adapted to engage the edge of said Wall, the
engl of said vertical boss, and the topof said tu e.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature. 7 a BENJAMIN KIND.
