coming scarred and otherwise defaced and damaged when operating the automobile.
Other object of the invention are to provide a heel cushion for automobiles of the character described which will be simple in construction, strong, durable, efficient in its use and which may be manufactured at low cost.
All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages of theinvention may become apparent from a study of the follow ing specification, taken in connectionwith the accompanying drawings wherein like characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, and wherein Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a heel cushion constructed in accordance with this invention mounted in position on the fioor board of an automobile.
Figure 2 is a sectional iew taken substantially on the line 22 of Figure 1.
Referring to the drawings in detail, it will be seen that the reference numeral 1 designates the frontfloor board of an automobile, 2 is the toe board, 3 and 4 are the clutch and brake pedals, respectively, which operate in the usual manner through the floor board and 5 is the accelerator pedal.
The heel cushion constituting this invention comprises a substantially rectangular flatbase sheet 6 of suitable flexible material, preferably rubber, which is adapted to be disposed on the floor board 1 at a point thereon to receive the heel of the operator of the vehicle, as will be apparent. The base sheet 6 is to be secured in any suitable manner, as by tacks or an adhesive to the floor board or to Serial No. 443,826.
the mat (not shown) with which most closed automobiles are equipped.
Secured on the upper side of the base sheet 6 is a comparatively thick cushioning slab 7 which is formed of a soft, pliable material such as sponge rubber which is secured in place on the base sheet 6 through the medium of an adhesive. Any other suitable means may be utilized for securing the cushioning slab 7 the base sheet 6. The cushioning slab 7 is provided with beveled marginal portions 8 which are spaced inwardly from the marginal edges of the base sheet 6, as clearly illustrated in the drawings.
It will thus be seen that I have provided a heel cushion which will effectively protect the heel portion of the shoe of an operator of the vehicle against damage which usually occurs when the heel is rested directly on the floor board or matof the automobile.
It is believed that the many advantages of a heelcushion constructed in accordance with this invention will be readily understood, and although the preferred embodiment of the invention is as illustrated and described, it is to be understood that changes in the details of construction may be had which will i fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.
What is claimed is A device for protecting the heel portion of a shoe of an automobile operator comprising a cushion placed on the floor board in rear of the pedals of an automobile for engaging the rear part of the heel portion of the shoe when the foot is operating the pedals with" the tip of the heel resting on a partof the floor board, said cushion comprising a rectangular flat strip of hard rubber and a rectangular strip of sponge rubber secured to the flat strip and of less area than the flat strip with the front edge beveled to receive said rear part of the heel.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
