rlhis invention relates to new and useful improvementsin shoe-plates, the primary= objects of the'invention'being the provision of a shoe plate which effectively protectsthe toe of the sole' and which 1s adjustable to it shoes of various sizes' and shapes.
Other objects of the invention arertoprovidea shoe plate having a marginal upstanding flange adapted to fitagainst and protect the edges of the toe endof the sole*` and provided with an inwardly and horizontally disposed perforate flange adapted to fit against and be secured to the underside of Y the sole. Still other objects provide a shoe plate of the invention are to for protecting the edge of the sole which consists of a vertically disposed marginal flange of substantially the same height as jectlng flange the thickness of the sole and of a horizontally disposed inwardly proby means of'which said shoe plate is secured to the underside of the sole, said horizontal flange being provided with raised convex surfaces for engaging the floor so as to prevent the edges of said flange from coming in Contact therewith.
Further objects of the invention are to provide a shoe protector which is of horseshoe shape and right-angled in cross section,
the upstanding flange tting against the edge of the toe and of the sole and the horizontal flange tting against the underside thereof, the last mentioned flange being pro- Still further objects vided with a plurality disposed slots to permit of spaced radially bending of the shoe of various sizes and of the invention are 40 to provide a shoe protector of the class described, one end of said horizontal flange having formed integral therewith a central plate which is substantially semi-circular in shape and provided with a convex face so as to lprovide a central bearing pointvfor the shoe.
With these and other objects in view, my invention consists in certain novel features 60; of construction and arrangement of hereinafter more fully parts,
described and claimed` andL illustrated 'in the accompanying 'i l Figureisany enlarged topplan view of the shoe `plate before attachment Vthereof to a shoe.
Figure i is a similar view but showing'the shoe platevincontracted position..` i 4 Figurel :isi a top formlofshoe plate.. Y As is welllknown in the art;` metallic` toe' protectors coveringfthe toel of the upper vof the shoe .have been-generally used. j However these .protectors are secured below` the upper to i theupper .face` of the sole i andV do not aord protection to the latter. Further-ll more,V such protectors are very. conspicuous and unsightly in appearance and they have to be made invarious sizes toflt various shoes as they arelnot adjustable; Also such toe protectors require considerable timefand skill insecuringthem in position.` v
My present invention contemplates the provision of a shoe plate which is used top'rotect upwardly beyond the upper 'face i thereof.` 'lherefore7 myshoe plate orjprotector` does not affect the vappearance'of ,the shoe. `and can beieasily attached in position. Referring by numeralsto the -accompany ing drawing,` l0 indicates a shoe.` plate which is substantially of horseshoe shape having a central curved portionv 111 and end portions 12. In crosssection theplateV is angular, having a vertically disposedmarginal flange 14. andI a` horizontally and inwardly presented ange 15E; The marginal' iange lll-.iis of..al
plan ,view-'0f @modifie l ausV the sole only and ,which does-noty extend ness of the sole sothat theupper` edge of said Y flangedoesfnot-extendabeyond the upper lfacje of the Vsole (see Fig. 2).-`The width .of the horizontal -flange 15 is such that a rowof protuberances 16 can spaced relation with each other and with the edges 'i of said flange. 1 These. vprotu'b'erancesk are of'rcircular shape land have convex .out-i wardly presentedJ Yfacesse:` that, onlyfV `smoothr` befformed"fthereonffin icoy rounded surfaces come in contact With the floor.
As shown7 each protuberance is formed With a central depressed portion 17 having an aperture 18 for receiving nails 19. Thus the plate can be readily nailed against the undersideof' the sole and the headsv of the nails are received in depression 17 an/d cannot come in Contact with the floor. Y 4
In order to eliminate the necessity of carry-l ing a large assortment of shoe plates to ac'- commoda-te shoes of various sizes and shapes, my improved shoe plate is formed adjustable and can be bent to fit theparticular shoe. To this end the horizontal flange 15'is providedy Withrea pluralityy of spaced radially disposed slots 20. These slots WhichropenV inwardly are preferably V-shape to provide the necessary clearance when contracting the plate'.
vThe inner ,edge of the flange 15 is preferably turnedl upwardly, vas indicated at 15a, to insure a close contact thereofwith the sole and preventV sharp edges from marring the floor.
. Preferably `one end of the edge 15 has formed integral therewith a central piece 21. This is semi-circular in shape and has a central raised or convex portion 22 anda pluralof the toe portion of the sole of a shoe, and having its horizontally disposed flange fitting against the underside of said sole, said horizontal flange being provided with a plurality of' spaced inwardly opening V-shaped slots whereby said member can be bent to fit the contour of the toe portion ofthe sole7 said horizontal ilange` being provided withA a plu-v rality of circular convex portions having central apertures for receiving nails by means of which said member is secured to the sole,
there being a central circular piece formed integral With one endy of said horizontal flange and extending transversely ofthe ends of said member and arranged centrally thereof, said central' pieceffbeingprovided with a conveX'face to providea centralbearingpoint for the toe portion of the shoe, andhaving a plurality of apertures arranged inspaced ref.
