Description
D6642, 1930. V E MILLER 1,783,514
HE'EL STRUCTURE FOR SHOES Filed Sept. 7, 1929 Inventor Patented Dec. 2, 1930 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE HEEL STRUCTURE FOR SHOES Application filed September 7, 1929. Serial 110,390,960.
This invention relates to heel structures for shoes and an object of the invention is to provide a reinforcement for composite heels that will prevent splitting, wearing or otherwise disfiguring the outer shell of a heel in the event that the tread of the heel wears down flush with the lower edges thereof.
Further objects of the invention are to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a
heel structure which is very simple. in its method of assembly, compact and durable, thoroughly reliable for its intended purpose, that will not mar the appearance of the finished-heel and that is comparatively inexpensive to manufacture and install.
-With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more specifically described and illustrated in the accompanyin drawings, wherein is disclosed an emb0 iment of the invention, but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modifications may be resorted to, without departing from the spirit of the claims hereunto appended.
In the drawings, wherein like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout the several views:
Figure 1 is a fragmentary side elevation of a rear portion of the shoe, illustrating an application of the present infintion thereto.
Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view in detail, through the heel.
Figure 3 is a top plan view of the reinforcing member.
Figure 4 is a side elevation thereof.
Figure 5 is a transverse vertical sectional view through the reinforcing member.
Referring to the drawings in detail, 6 represents the shoe upper. The outer shell is formed of pyroxylin or a phenol condensation product commonly used in the shoe art for covering the wooden core 8 of the heel.
The shell is hollow on the interior and the core 8 is adapted to be secured to the shell 7 on the interior thereof. Both the core and shell 7 are adapted tobe secured to the shoe upper 6 at their upper edges by any conventional means used in the shoe art.
The reinforcing member is designated generally at 9 and consists of a flat horizontally disposed rim 10 in the configuration of a horseshoe. The rim 10 has an upstanding flange 11 at its inner perimeter disposed at right angles to the rim 10.
The outer face of the flange 11 is knurled so as to provide proper anchorage when assembled at the heel. The upstanding flange 11 is adapted to be disposed between'the lowerside margins of the shell 7 and the wooden core 8 as will be clearly understood by referring to Figure 2 of the drawings. The rim portion 10 is adapted to overlap the lower edges of the shell 7. A tread member 12 formed of leather or other wearing materials known to the shoe art is disposed over the lower face of the core 8 and the lower face of the rim 10 that terminates flush with the outer edges of the rim 10. The outer edge of the rim 10 also terminates flush with the sides of the shell 7. The tread 12 is secured to the core 8 by suitable shoe nails 13, which extend through the tread and are anchored in the core.
From the foregoing, it will be seen that whenever the tread member 12 is worn down flush with the rim portion 10 of the reinforcing member 9, the rim 10 will come in contact with the pavement and apprise the wearer of the need of a new tread. At the same time, the metal reinforcement will prevent scarring, wearing or otherwise disfiguring the outer shell 7.
It is to be understood that by describing in detail herein, any particular form, structure or arrangement, it is not intended to limit the invention beyond the terms of the several claims or the requirements of the prior art.
What is claimed is:
1. A heel structure for shoes comprising an outer shell, a core within said shell, said shell and core adapted for attachment with a shoe at the upper ends, a rim disposed over the lower edges of the shell, an upstanding flange on the rim disposed between the lower side margins of the shell and the core, and a tread disposed over the core and the flange.
2. A heel structure for shoes comprising an outer hollow shell, a Wooden core Within the shell, said shell and core adapted for attachment at their upper ends to the shoe, a rim disposed over the lower ends of the shell, an upstanding flange on the inner periphery of the rim, disposed between the lower side margins of the shell and core, and a tread formed of leather disposed over the core and flange.
3. A heel structure for shoes comprising a core and a shell for covering the core, said core and shell adapted for attachment to a shoe at the upper end, a member angular shaped in cross section having one end disposed over the lower edge of the shell and the other leg thereof anchored between the lower side nmrgins ofthe core and shell, and a tread disposed over the bottom of the core and said member.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
ELMER MILLER.
