Specification forini g p t of Letters Pa October To all whom it ma 0mm Be. it known that w e, LEVI W. BUXTON and of Nashua, in the county w Hampshire, able Improve-' oots and Shoes, and} we do herebydeclarethat the following-is a have inventeda new andvalu s'truction and operation ofithe same, reference being had to the annexeddrawings', making a on,'and to the letters and figuresof reference marked thereon. n
Figure l of the drawings is a representation of a side view of a'gaiter with this invention attached. Fig. 2 is a. partial section of same. Fig. 3 is a top view} oftheheel-plate with the rubber cushions in place. Fig. 4 is'a bott'om a perspective view of the rubber cushiom This invention has relation to heel-plates and it consists in the sector-shaped recesses in the upper-surface of the plate, divided by radial ribs, the equidistant screw-holes triangularly arranged, the central aperture and therubber-cushion studs having sectorshaped upper portions designed to fill the recesses referred to, and downward projections to extend. through the series of holes provided for that purpose in the'plate, as hereinafter shown and described.
'In the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates agaiter, to theheel of which dicates the heel-plate', whieh is preferably circularin form, and of a diameter equalto orfa littleless than the breadth of the heels. Around its edge extendsnpward from the'upper surface a short flauge ,'a, to which are connected radial ribs 1), of Similar height,

into a .numberof sector-shaped recesses or coinpartments, a, each of which is provided with a central aperture, (1, through the plate,
ternate-ribs and perforations around its outward portion. Within the annular series of ribs the plate is provided with a plane circutent 110,155,854, dated March 27, 1877; a

lar space, 6, the center of which is open, being occupied by an aperture, f, of trefoil form. Between the rounded angles of this opening, near the margin of the plane space e of the plate, are arranged at equal distances apart three screw-holes, g, whereby the plate is designedto be secured to the heel of the shoe.
G represents the rubber cushion, which is used in connection with. this plate. It con- .sists of a flat sector-shaped body, h, and a rounded stud or projection, K, which extends centrally from its,under side. When the rubber section is placed in the recess 00f the plate it is designed to fill the same neatly, and its stud to extend downward through the opening d and projects a short distance below the bottom of the plate. The annular series of projecting studs-form the tread of the heel. The upper portion or body h of the cushion is somewhat thicker than the height of the marginal flange of the heel-plate, so that its upper surface is raised above the level of said flange. These sector-shaped bodies thus form a sectional ring or annulus of rubber, which is between the heel of the shoe and the plate, and when the latter is drawn toward said heel by means of the fastening series, these rubber bodies are condensed between the ribs by the pressure, and their density is communicated to the studs of the tread, so that the striking of the heel in walking produces a sound similar to that of an ordinary leather heel.
The rubber sections when worn down can be readily replaced, and can be readily interchanged in wearing, so that all will be worn down alike.
In order to afford still greater facility for adjusting the plate to the wear of the heel, the triangular arrangement of screw-holes is adopted, whereby the plate can be turned onethird around and fastened without boring new holes in the heel.
The central opening in the plate is mainly designed to admit the spike or heel-screw of a skate, and its shape is such that if the plate has been properly adjusted with one of its rounded angles in front or rear, it will always be in proper position to receive said spike, whether it be exactly in the middle of the heel, or a little in front or rear thereof.
