gzmm A ilorney Inventor Patented Feb. 9, 1932 UNITED STT ENT oFFlcs I VICTOR BACI-IAND, or WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS SHOE SKATE Application filed March 24,1931." Serial No. 524,996.

The present invention relates to a shoe skate and has for its prime object to provide and durable, easy to manipulate, compact and convenient in its arrangement of parts, thoroughly efficient and reliable in use and other- 16 wise well adapted to the purpose for WhlCll it is designed.

With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinaftermore fully described and claimed.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved skate structure attached to a shoe.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the skate. Figure 3 is a bottom plan view thereof. Figure 4 is a bottom plan view of the shoe attachment.

Figure 5 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 55 of Figure 1.

Figure 6 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 6-6 of Figure 1.

Figure 7 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 7-7 of Figure 4, and

Figure 8 is a fragmentary perspective view showing a projecting portion of the skate sole plate.

Referring to the drawings in detail it will i be seen that the numeral 5 denotes a plate to be attached under thesole of a shoe and is formed with an enlarged opening therein and on its side has depressed therefrom pocket portions 6. the inner portions of the side walls of which are provided with notches 7 Numeral 8 denotes a heel plate adapted to be attached to the heel of a shoe and is formed with an enlarged opening and has its sides provided with depressed pockets 9 op-- tive. portions of the shoes 7 attached and may be made of sheet metal or the like having the desired resiliency or flexis 'tions or corners 15 to be received in 16 in the bottom thereof disposed versely and-adapted to slidably receive por- :tiOn 10. c p

Now to put the skate on the shoe. the

posite each other and its front formed with a depressed portion 10 so asto properly support the heel of the shoe in walking in conjunction with the portions 9. These plates 5 and 8,- of course, are shaped to to which they are bility necessary for comfortable walking to and from the skating pohd or, other'skating Places. a r

The skate comprises a bladejor runner 11 of any desired formation and has supported above its front portion a) sole plate 12' and above its rearportion a heel plate 14;. The 5 sole plate 12 has its intermediate portion restricted in width to form a pair of projecpockets grooves trans- 6. i The heel plate 7 is formed with ti'ons' a ofangular shaped members 17, The other portions 6 have threaded therethrough threaded portions of a shaft 18 journalled through a portion 19 0f the blade 14 is attached.

7 v It'will be noted by an inspection of'Figure {3 that the shaft 18 is oppositely threaded on lts'end portions so that whenthe shaft is turned by means of a key or the like engaged with the square ends 20 thereof, the members 17 will be either drawn toward each other or moved away from each other. In the forward edge of the'plate 14 there is provided a notch 21 to receive theprojecthe blade to which skate is placed thereunder and then slid rearwardly causing the projections 15 to slide through the notches 7 and to be seated in the pockets 6. Then the shaft 18 is turned to move the members 17 away from each other so that they will project into the pockets 9. Thus the skate is very securely attached to the shoe with practically the same efliciency and effectiveness as the combination shoes and skates now commonly in use.

-It is thought thatthe construction, operation, utility and advantages of this invention will now be quite apparent to those skilled his in this art without a more detailed description thereof.

The present embodiments of the invention have been described in considerable detail merely for the purposes of exemplification since in actual practice it attains the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the invention and the above description.

It will be apparent that changes in the details of construction, and in the combina tion and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:

1. In combination, a plate adapted to be attached to a shoe sole and formed with pockets having notches leading thereinto, a skate having a sole plate with project-ions which may be slid into said pockets, a plate adapted to be attached to a shoe heel and having oppositely disposed pockets, a heel plate on the skate, members slidable laterally in the skate heel plate to project into the shoe heel plates pockets, and means for actuating said members.

2. In combination, a plate adapted to be attached to a shoe sole and formed with pockets having notches leading thereinto, a skate having a sole plate with projections which may be slid into said pockets, a plate adapted to be attached to a shoe heel and having oppositely disposed pockets, a heel plate on the skate, members slidable laterally in the skate heel plate to project into the shoe heel plates pockets, a shaft journalled through the skate and having oppolsgitely threaded portions engaged in the memers.

3. In combination, a plate for attachment to a shoe sole and formed with a laterally extending pocket forming part at each side thereof, a skate having a sole plate formed with a folded part at its side edges, the pocket forming portion having notches in their sides through which the folded part will pass into the pocket, and means for detachably connecting the heel of the stake to the heel of the shoe.

In testimony whereof I afliX my signature.-

VICTOR BACHAND.
