FOOTREST Filed April 29, 1935 INVENTOR.
ATTORNEY.
Patented F ch. 9, 193'? UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE FOOTREST Application April 29, 1935, Serial No. 18,852
3 Claims.
The invention relates to foot rests, and particularly to supports for use while shining shoes.
The primary object of the invention is to provide a device of this character of simple and inexpensive construction.
A further object is to provide a device of this character of solid and stable construction fabricated of sheet metal.
A further object is to provide a device of this character having an upwardly tapering upright portion of diamond-shape in cross section.
A further object is to provide a device of this character having a support fabricated of sheet metal bent to elongated cross sectional form and having opposed central cut-away portions providing longitudinally opposed standards of bent cross section.
Other objects will be apparent from the description and the appended claims.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a view of the device in side elevation with parts shown in section.
Figure 2 is an end view of the device.
Figure 3 is a top plan view of the device.
Referring to the drawing, which illustrates the preferred embodiment of the invention, the numeral 5 designates an upright member which is formed from a single sheet of metal. The metal sheet or blank is bent on converging lines to provide end corners 6 and side corners l, the opposite sides of said blank being rigidly secured together in overlapping relation at 8, whereby the fabricated support tapers upwardly. The sheet or blank is shaped to space corners 6 of the resultant support 5 a greater distance than corners 1, whereby the support 5 is of longitudinally elongated diamond cross sectional form. At opposite sides of its upper end the support 5 is cut away at 9 on downwardly converging lines for a distance approximating one half of its height, whereby the upper portion of said support comprises a pair of longitudinally opposed, upwardly tapering standards or arms 10 of V-shaped cross section. Horizontal flanges l I are bent outwardly from arms II] at each side of the upper end thereof.
A sheet metal top plate I2 of suitable configuration is secured to the flanges H, as by welding. The plate I2 is preferably reinforced by a downwardly extending marginal flange l 3. Adjacent the lower end of support 5 and interiorly thereof is disposed a horizontal sheet metal plate I4 provided with marginal depending flanges I5 which are welded or otherwise suitably secured in face contacting engagement to the side walls of support 5.
The top plate I2 is of a length approximately equal to the longitudinal spacing of corners 6 at the lower ends thereof, and is of a width substantially less than the transverse spacing of corners l. The device is thus rendered stable whereby 5 it will sustain application of a certain degree of unbalanced pressure in use without tilting. The provision of multiple securing flanges l I at the upper end of support 5 for securing the horizontal top plate I 2, and of the horizontal plate I4 10 secured to the lower end of said support, serves to reinforce the support at its opposite ends and to maintain it in desired shape. The plate l4 also serves as means to hold shoe shining materials conveniently in the interior of the device. The 15 cut-aways 9 at opposite sides of support 5 permit use of the interior of the device as a receptacle as above stated, and also facilitate use of the device for shoe shining purposes by permitting a shine cloth to be passed therethrough and The invention having been set forth, what I claim as new and useful is:-
l. A stand consisting of a tapered four-sided sheet metal pedestal having a diamond shaped cross section and having the upper part of its two obtuse edges and part of the sides cut away leaving a pair of spaced upright arms V-shape in cross section with openings at each side between them, a horizontal plate fastened on top of the two arms, and another horizontal plate fastened inside of and near the bottom of the pedestal and forming with the lower part of the pedestal a receptacle accessible through the openings between the upright arms.
2. A stand consisting of a tapered hollow sheet metal pedestal having the upper part of two similar opposed wall portions thereof cut away leaving a pair of spaced upright arms of similarly bent horizontal cross section with openings at each side between them, a horizontal plate secured on top of the two arms, and a second horizontal plate secured inside of and near the bottom of the pedestal and forming with the lower part of the pedestal a receptacle accessible through the openings between the upright arms.
3. A stand consisting of a hollow vertical pedestal formed of a sheet of material bent in horizontal cross section of endless periphery, said pedestal having parts of its upper end cut away at opposite sides thereof leaving a pair of spaced upright arms with openings at each side between them, a horizontal plate secured on top of the two arms, and a second horizontal plate secured inside of and near the bottom of the pedestal and forming with the lower part of the pedestal a receptacle accessible through the openings between the upright arms.
