BOOT HOLDER Filed April 18, 1940 IN VENTOR.
QUGUST SCHELLE.
Paul ATM A TTORNEY.
Patented Mar. 17, 1942 UNITED STATES FATENT OFFICE 9 Claims.
My invention relates to holders for boots and particularly to a device to hold boots for cleaning and shining. Among the purposes and objects are to provide:
A wall boot holding device.
A device to firmly hold riding boots while cleaning and shining.
A wall bracket for clamping and holding the boot and boot tree.
A boot shining device which may be quickly and firmly yet detachably secured to the wall.
A convenient device for shining boots.
I accomplish these and other objects by the construction herein described and shown in the accompanying drawing forming a .part hereof in which:
Fig. l is a section at II, 2.
Fig 2 is an elevation showing the application of my device.
Fig. 3 is a section at 33, Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary detail of the foot rest.
Fig. is a detail of one of the wall screws.
Similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views of the drawing and in the specifications to follow.
The cleaning and shining of boots and particularly riding boots has been a difiicult and annoying task because the top of the boot in particular is unwieldy to handle even with the boot tree inserted and the care and appearance of these boots due to their initial cost is of considerable importance.
I have provided a simple, sturdy device which firmly holds the boot and in such position that it may be easily and quickly conditioned and shined without the labor and usual aggravating difliculties encountered by ordinary methods.
I have illustrated, and herein described in detail, one of the constructions which embodies the principles underlying my invention so that it may be better understood by those skilled in the art to which it pertains. After a study of this disclosure, it is believed that modifications will be apparent which will adapt the use of my device to the numerous conditions to which it is suited without departing from the principles which underlie my invention. For instance, the size of the parts and their proportion are shown as adapted to the average siz and type of riding boot. Boots of other sizes and types may be held by clamping the boot trees in much the same manner to that shown.
I have provided a wall plate I having at or near its top 2 an arm 3 extending outwardly and away from the wall 4 for a distance suflicient to provide ample working space between the boot 5 and the wall plate I.
The arm 3 may be reinforced near'its end 6 by the extended outward end of brace I which stiffens the arm 3 to which it is secured. The opposite end of said brace is secured to the wall plate I. The end 6 is tapped or threaded to receive the clamp screw 8 which is disposed substantially vertical and parallel to the wall and wall plate.
The upper end of the screw 8 is provided with a turning knob 9 or other suitable means for adjusting the screw which has at its lower end the ball I0 which engages the ball socket II of the head I2 to which is secured the pad I3 of material preventing slipping such as rubber or the like. The top end surface of the boot tree I4 engages the non-slip surface of the pad and is clamped firmly to my device by the clamp screw 8 and the boot which surrounds the tree is thus held firmly against the foot rest I5 which may be provided with material preventing the sole I6 of the boot from slipping. is secured to the top surface of the bottom bracket II which is provided with the brace I8 extending diagonally downward and rearwardly to the lower end of the wall plate I.
The wall plate I is preferably provided with a plurality of apertures I9 disposed at equal distances throughout its length thereby providing a means of adjusting its vertical height on the wall which is provided with lag studs 20 disposed vertically at distances equal to the distance between the apertures I9 in the wall plate I, The bracket II also has apertures 2| spaced apart equal to the spacing of the apertures I9 thereby permitting vertical adjustment of said bracket on the wall plate I.
The lag studs 20 are preferably provided with a squared end 22 to facilitate screwing them into the wall and are also threaded to engage the wingnuts 23 which secure the wall plate to the Wall as well as secure the bottom bracket to the wall plate.
The ball joint between the head I2 and clamp screw 8 permits the head to adjust its lower face to the top surface of the boot tree which may not be perpendicular to the axis of the screw.
The screw 8 is of sufiicient length to permit considerable variation in length of the boot tree and boot leg yet affords the required pressure when screwed up to clamp the boot and'boot tree firmly in place. When unscrewed the pres--' sure is removed and the head I2 is raised to per- The foot rest mit the free removal of the boot and tree from my device.
In addition to the adjustment provided by the screw 8 to accommodate boots of considerable variation in height, I have provided the additional adjustment caused by raising or lowering the bracket H in relation to the wall plate I which also serves as a strong back when considerable pressure is exerted by the screw 8 between the arm 3 and the bracket.
The lag studs may have the usual coarse threads 24 for wood or may be provided with other threads or means best suited to the material of the Wall to which my device is secured. For instance, a threaded expansion nut or other threaded nut installed in the wall of masonry or tile may be used and in such case wing screws may be used in the place of the wing nuts.
I do not wish to be limited to the details herein disclosed for the purpose of illustrating a construction using the principles of my invention which is set forth in the appended claims.
I claim:
1. In a boot holder, an arm, clamping means mounted thereon, a bracket and a foot rest thereon and a wall plate securing said arm to said bracket and means adjustably securing said bracket to said wall plate whereby the distance between said arm and said bracket may be varied.
2. In a boot holder, an arm, clamping means mounted thereon, a bracket and a foot rest thereon and a wall plate securing said arm to said bracket, a head having a rubber face secured thereto and a ball joint securing said head to said clamping means, said bracket being adjustably secured to said wall plate.
3. In a boot holder, an arm, clamping means mounted thereon, a bracket and a foot rest thereon and a wall plate securing said arm to said bracket, said wall plate having apertures equally spaced, securing means engaging said apertures whereby its height may be varied from the floor by changing said securing means in said apertures.
4. In a beot holder, an arm, clamping means mounted thereon, a bracket and a foot rest thereon and a wall plate securing said arm to said bracket, said wall plate having equal spaced apertures therein and said bracket having apertures spaced a like distance apart to align with any of said apertures in said wall plate.
5. In a boot holder, an arm, clamping means mounted thereon, a bracket and a foot rest thereon and a wall plate securing said arm to said bracket, said wall plate having equal spaced apertures therein and said bracket having apertures spaced a like distance apart to align with any of said apertures in said wall plate, securing means engaging the apertures in said wall plate and said bracket whereby said bracket may be adjusted vertically in relation to said wall plate.
6. In a device for shining the legs of boots, a top arm having threads and a bottom bracket and means securing said arm and bracket to the wall and to each other, a screw engaging said threads and revolvable in said arm, a ball end on said screw and a head and a ball socket securing said head to said screw, said head engaging a boot tree pressing the boot against said bracket to hold said boot in said boot shining device.
7. In a device for shining the legs of boots, a top arm and a bottom bracket and means securing said arm and bracket to the wall and to each other, clamping means engaging a boot tree pressing the boot against said bracket to hold said boot in said boot shining device and means adjusting the distance between said bracket and said arm.
8.

9. In a device for shining the legs of boots, a top arm and a bottom bracket and means securing said arm and bracket to the wall and to each other, clamping means engaging a boot tree pressing the boot against said bracket to hold said boot in said boot shining device, said clamping means comprising a screw having a ball end,
- said screw engaging threads in said arm having a ball socket therein securing said head. to said screw permitting said screw to freely revolve in said arm and to evenly press said head against said tree when its top surface is angularly disposed to said screw.
