Description
April`12, 1932. N. wEsTcioTT DISPLAY DEVICE Filed Aug; 28, 1931 We MA w Patented Apr. 12, 1932 y UNITED STATES sATENT OFFICE NATHAN WESTCOTT, OIE' PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, ASSIGNOR TO INTERNATIONAL BRAID COMPANY, A CORPORATION OF MASSACHUSETTS DISPLAY DEVICE Application led August 28, 1931. vSerial No. 559,854.
lThis invention relates to a display device more particularly for use in connection with the display of shoe laces, and has for its object to provide a construction which will eX- hibit the shoe laces as worn in the shoe.
Another object of this invention is the provision of a device which will instruct or educate the user in the use of the shoe lace.
A further object ofthe invention is the provision of a construction which will display a shoe lace which is to be woven differently in the shoe than the criss-cross weaving customary, and indicate by actual use of the lace itself the manner of weaving the lace in the shoe, thus displaying the lace in the position which it will assume when placed in the shoe. llith these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, as will be more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is a top plan view of the device.
Fig. 2 is a back ,view thereof, both showing the shoe lace as mounted on the card.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of the anchors for securing the lace upon the card.
The usual fabric lace for shoes and the like is placed in the shoe with the lacings crossing each other between adjacent pairs of eyelets in order thatthe desired drawing effect may be accomplished to maintain the shoe in the desired tightened position on the foot. v
A rubber orelastic lace may be more adf" vantageously placed in the shoe by weaving of the same through the eyelet openings in a somewhat different manner, and in order that the purchaser of an elastic lace may be educated or informed as to the manner of placing the elastic lace in the shoe, I have provided a display card which will indicate thereon the path of t-he lace through the eyelets of the shoe and have also punched in the card which forms my display openings into which the actual lace may be placed and woven in a manner to display the same in worn position, and the same time instruct the user in the manner of positioning the lace in the shoe; and the following is a detailed description of the present embodiment of this invention, illustrating the preferred means by which these advantageous results may be accomplished.
With reference to the drawings, designates a base plate which may be formed of suitable sheet stock such as cardboard orthe.
the like, a shoe 14 for the right foot and a shoe -15 for the left foot, and in the position in whichthe eyelets of the shoe would be located along the opposite sides of gap oropenings 16, I have punched holes or openings 17, arranged in series ofsiX, which series are arranged in parallel relation, and I position a pair of shoe laces 18 on the card by Weaving the laces in and out through the openings 17 m such a manner as it is desired that they should be positioned in the shoe. I hold these lacings in position by anchors 19, consisting of a piece of metal as shown in the Figure 3 having a gap 2O cut therein at one edge, providing an opening21 therein and a passage to this opening constricted as at 22 so that the elastic lace must be stretched in order that the anchors 19 may be positiohned thereon. The opening 21 is of sufficient size to prevent the elastic lace in its unstretched condition from passing therethrough and thus prevents movement of the lace through the opening 21.
In assembling the lace on the card I place the anchor 19 about one-half inch from the end 23 of the lace 18 and locate this anchor at the'outside lower'opening of the shoe asV 4indicated by the dotted lines 32 in Figure 1, whereupon the lace is then extended across the gap 16 through the opening 24 at the lower edge of the opposite series from the outside Y opening, another anchor 19 is positioned on the lace adjacent the portion of the lace eX- tending through the opening 27 to hold the lace in position on the card, and the surplus length is passed through one of the loops 28 spending series of openings indicating the eyelets in the left shoe 15, it being observed that the anchor 19 is secured at the start of the lace which is on the outside edge of the shoe, and the lacing similarly installed in position as above described.
-It will. be observed that the lace extends across, up, back, up,v across, etc., in each of the represented shoes which is quite different from the assembly of the fabric lace in a shoe.
Further I indicate the lace in working position by representing the same on the card so that the manner of inserting' the lace is indicated. even though when the lace is removed from the card, so that should both laces be removed from the card prior to observing the manner of insertion, one may still be instructed in the manner of use and in the accomplishment of this, I have laid out on the card solid lines 30 and dash lines 81, indicated on Figure 1 by the broken away lace. The solid lines indicating the path of the lace on the outer surface of the shoe, while the dash lines indicate the path along the inner surface of the shoe. I also indicate on the card the position of the anchor 19 by the dotted lines 32 to show the position of these anchors in the shoe, thus by observation of the card, the new user of the lace is instructed in the use thereof, eren though the lace has been removed from the card.
rIhe foregoing description is directed solely towards the construction illustrated,l but I desire it to be understood that I reserve the privilege of resorting to all the mechanical changes to which the device is susceptible, the invention being defined and limited only by the terms of the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A device for instructing a person in the application of a shoe lace to a shoe, comprising a face plate, representations of the lace openings of one or more shoes thereon, and representations of the path of the lace with respect to said openings, said representations of the portions of the lace intended to extend over the outer surface of the shoe being of different appearance from the representations of the portions of the lace intended to extend over the inner surface of the shoe.
2. In combination, a device for instructing a person in the threading of a shoe lace in a shoe comprising a Vbase plate with two series of openings therein arranged in parallel relation and representing the openings in a shoe, and indicia representing a shoe lace woven in through said openings in the manner in which it is desired that the lace be applied to a shoe whereby a. person is instructed in the use of the lace.
3. In combination, a device for instructing a person in the threading of a shoe lace in a shoe comprising a base plate with the representation of a shoe thereon, two series of openings therein arranged in parallel relation, and in the position of the eyelets of a shoe indicia on said plate beneath said lace representing the path of said lace with reference to said plate and a shoe lace woven in through said openings in the manner in which it is desired that the lace be applied to a shoe whereby the lace is displayed as in working position and at the same time instructs a person in the use of the lace..
4. In combination, a device for instructing a person in the threading of a shoe lace in a shoe comprising a base plate with the representation of a pair of shoes thereon, two series of openings therein arranged in parallel relation, openings in said base plate arranged in the position of the eyelets of the shoes, indicia on said plate beneath said lace repre.- senting the path of said lace with reference to said plate and a pair of shoe laces woven in through said openings in the manner that the lace should be applied to the shoes whereby the laces are displayed in working position, and a person is instructed in the use thereof.'
5. A card having the representation of one or more objects, one edge of which meets another edge which is to be laced thereto, the marginal edges of each having openings, and a lacer interwoven in said openings in the manner to be used on said objects.
6. A card having the representation of two oppositely arranged shoes, the meeting edges of each of which are to be laced together, aligned openings along the representation of the edges of the laced portions of said shoes, and a lacer interwoven in said openings in the manner to be used in the shoes for which said lacers are intended.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
NATHAN WESTCOTT.
