ILLUMINATED SHOE Filed Feb. 7, 1935 fsfa..
Patented 31, 1933 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE ILLUMINATED SHOE Joseph De Merolis and Alexander Di Lizio,v Philadelphia, Pa.
Our invention relates to improvements in electrically illuminated shoes and particularly to dancing shoes.
The object of our invention is to provide a shoe with novel means for detachably securing a dry cell within the heel.
A further object is to provide a shoe with a channel formed in the front of the heel, and provide a flexible Wall, or curtain, for closing the lo lhannel and for concealing the cell within the eel.
A further object is to provide a push button upon the heel, with a portion of the button projecting beyond the heel whereby it will be operated when the heel is resting upon the oor, for intermittently illuminating the shoe by closing an electric circuit including the cell and one or more lamps.
A further object isto provide a manually operated switch upon the heel for controlling the circuit in various ways as desired.
A further object is to locate a lamp socket within the toe of the shoe, so that the socket will be entirely concealed within the shoe.
A further object is to provide a lamp socket upon a base, which base is detachably mounted upon the shoe, and the fastening means are utilized as electrical conductors.
These together with various novel features of construction and arrangement of the parts which will be more fully hereinafter described and claimed constitute our invention.
Referring to the accompanying drawing;-Fig ure 1 is a side elevation, partly in section, of a shoe embodying our invention.
Figure 2 is a plan view ofnFig. l.
Figures 3, 4 and 5, are transverse vertical sections on lines 3-3, 4 4 and 5-5 of Fig. l.
Figure 6 is a horizontal sectional view on line 6-6 Fig. 1.
Figure 7 is a horizontal sectional view on line 7-7 Fig. 1.
The drawing illustrates a shoe 10 comprising the upper 12, the inner and outer soles 13 and 14, 4 heel 15 and toe 16. The heel 15 is formed of wood,
and is provided with a longitudinal channel, or cavity 18, extending vertically through the heel and open toward the front of the heel.
An electric dry cell 20 is mounted in the cavity 18 of the heel. The upper portion of the cell 20 is held in the cavity Vby a bridge plate 21, secured to the heel. The bottom of the cell 20 is supported upon a cross rod 22, secured in the heel and extending transversely through the cavity 18.
The cell is detachably held in the cavity 18 by a bar 25, pivoted upon a pin 26 secured in the heel. The bar 25 may be turned into engagement with the cell 20, as shown in Figs. 4 to 6.
A coiled spring 23 is secured in a recess formed in the heel, and said spring is compressed by the o cell when the latter is secured in the heel by the bar 25. The spring 23 is provided for pushing the cell 20 out of the cavity when the bar 25 is rotated into a position to release the cell, thus greatly facilitating in removing the cell from the heel.
The terminal 28 of the cell is in electrical contact with a spring contact plate 29 secured to the heel.
A spring contact plate 30 is secured to the lower portion of the heel and is normally out of contact with the metal casing of the cell 20. A push button 32 is slidably mounted in an aperture extending vertically through the tread layer 33 of the heel, and also through the inner layer 34 and through an aperture formed in a metal plate 35.
The push button 32, has a reduced portion 36, embraced by a coiled spring 37, which is located between said plate 35 and the body portion 38 of the button 32, thus tending to move the button outwardly from the bottom-layer of the heel. The reduced portion 36 of the button has a head 39, formed upon its inner end, said head engages the plate 35, which limits the outward movement of the button by the action of the spring 37. When the button 32 is pressed inwardly the contact plate 30 will be held in electrical contact with the casing of the cell 20 for completing an electric circuit. When the heel is lifted from the floor, by the wearer of the shoe, the circuit will be opened by the outward movement of the button 32.
A hand operated switch is provided for controlling the circuit supplied by the cell 20. Said switch comprises a switch lever 40 pivoted upon a pin 41 secured in the heel. 95
A switch contact plate 42 is secured upon the heel. Said plate 42 is connected by an electric conductor 43, with the lower spring contact plate 30. The lever 40 may be moved into contact with the plate 42, as shown in Fig. 4, for completing the electric circuit with the lamps 45 and 46 lthrough a conductor 47 connected with the pivot pin 41 of the lever 40, and a conductor 48, connected with the spring contact plate 29 engaged by the upper end of the cell 20.
When the switch lever 40 is in the position shown in Fig. 4, the circuit will be completed for intermittently lighting the lamps when the push button 32 is operated for moving the contact plate 30 into and out of contact with the cell 20. 110
'I'he switch lever 40 may be moved into contact with the metal casing of the cell 20, as shown in dot and dash lines Fig. 5, for completing a continuous circuit including the cell 20, switch lever 40, spring contact plate 29, conductors 47 and 48 leading to the lamp or lamps, for continuously lighting the same.
The switch lever 40 may be turned into the off position shown in full lines in Fig. for opening all of the circuits.
The switch lever and the cell 20, are accessible through the open front wall of the heel.
Novel means are provided for closing the channel formed in the front of the heel, comprising a nexible wall, or curtain 50, formed of leather or fabric. The curtain is secured at 51 where the sole and heel are joined together. The lower edge of the curtain 50 is secured to the lower portion of the heel by means of snap fasteners 53. The socket portions of the snap fasteners are secured to the curtain 50 and the head portions are secured to the heel, in a manner well known in the art.
The lamp 45 is detachably mounted in a screw shell, or socket 55, which latter is secured in the toe cap 56 of the shoe. The cap 56 is provided with an opening at the top thereof for the lamp. 'I'he lamp socket 55 is located at the extreme point of the toe cap and the socket is entirely concealed within the toe of the shoe.
The conductors 47 and 48 are connected with the socket and the contact button 57, in the usual manner for completing the circuit with the lamp 45.
The lamp 46 is detachably mounted in a lamp socket 60, which is secured upon a base 61, preferably formed of leather and having snap fastener sockets 62 and 63 thereon. The lamp socket is connected with the snap fastener socket 62 by an electric conductor 64, and the contact button 65 is connected with the snap fastener socket 63 by a conductor 66. 'I'he snap fastener heads 67 and 68 are secured to the upper of the shoe, and are electrically connected with the conductors 47a and 48a.
The conductors 47 and 48 are concealed between the soles of the shoe, and the conductors 47a and 48a are covered by the lining of the upper. Said conductors complete the electric circuits between the cell 20 and the lamps 45 and 46.
Either one or both of the lamps may be used. The lamp 45 may be unscrewed from the socket and the opening covered with any suitable form of ornament.
