(Cl. .3S-34) 17 Claims.
The present invention relates to a shoe heel and has particular reference to one made of a plastic molded material.
The advantages of a molded heel over the ordinary wooden or leather heel are fairly obvious. However, diiculties have been heretofore so great as to prevent the use of molded heels. These difliculties related primarily to the manner of attaching the heel to the shoe, and to the manner of attaching a tap onto the heel member.
'I'he ordinary plastic is not readily susceptible to nailing. However, practically all shoe manufacturers are equipped With nailing machines, so that the sales resistance to any other type of attachment is almost prohibitively great. Fur.- thermore, the actual costs of previously suggested attachments are generally greater than the present cost of nailing.
'I'he present invention has for an object a shoe heel made of plastic material which can be se- Vcured to a shoe in a manner no more expensive than ordinary nailing.
A further object is to provide a plastic heel that can be nailed in the ordinary nailing machine without any alteration.
A further object is to provide a plastic heel that has a simple attachment for receiving a shoe tap.
A further object is to provide a plastic shoe heel that is hollow so as to provide a degree of resiliency, making it more comfortable to the wearer, and which also involves the use of a minimum of material. In attaining this object, the design likewise attains the objective of providing a plastic shoe heel that may be molded and drawn from the molds.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a top view of a plastic heel;
Fig. 2 is a Vertical section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1 with a section of a part of the shoe;
Fig. 3 is a vertical section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is a bottom view of the heel;
Fig. 5 is a side view of a tap for the heel;
Fig. 6 is a rear view of the tap;
Fig 7 is a perspective View of the heel tap;
Fig. 8 is a vertical section of the lower part of the heel along the shoe axis showing the tap in place;
Fig. 9 is a horizontal section through the heel on the line 9-9 of Fig. 8;
Fig. 10 is a side elevation of a modified form of tap; and
Fig. 11 is a plan view of the` tap of Fig. 10.
The heel generally indicated at I2 is preferably CIK formed of some plastic material, such as cellulose acetate. It is not intended to be limited to this particular material, since numerous of the plastics now known on the market can be employed. In fact, certain features of the material are applicable to heels other than plastic, though they find especial Value in combination with the plastic material.
The heel includes an upper seat portion i3 including a front flanged portion I4. A back and side curved wall I5 extends around from the outer edges of a front wall I6. There is also a lower surface I'I to receive the heel tap.
From the heel seat I3 there extends downwardly an opening I8 terminating at the bottom in an angular wall I9 that may be at approxi mately 45 to the lower surface II. From the lower surface there extends upwardly an opening 20 merging with the opening I8 at the front part of the former. The opening 20 terminates at a distance below the heel seat I3 suflcient to permit nails to extend into the wall above it. The opening 20 may be curved to accord with the shape of the heel, as shown in Fig. 4. A third slot-like opening 2| extends downwardly from the heel seat i3 at the back part of the opening 2i." and terminates short of the lower surface I'I to provide a ledge 22. This ledge is slightly undercut, as shown at 23 in Fig. 2.
A large number of openings 24 extend downwardly from the heel seat I3. These openings 24 cover all of the space normally within the area of the nails from the nailing machine, plus an additional area in this Vicinity. As here shown, they are also disposed beyond this area just defined to give both a design effect and also to reduce the amount of material required. Where the material of which the heel is made is translucent or transparent, these holes form a very pleasing design and enough are provided to conceal the more inwardly disposed holes into which the usual nails extend.
It will be observed that the openings i8, 2l, and 24 may be formed by members extending down from the top of the mold. The opening 20 may be formed from a member extending upwardly from the Ibottom of the mold. The undercut 23 may be formed by a slight projection on the member forming the opening 20. Together they form a moldable hollow heel member, the walls of which are thin enough to have resiliency.
A heel tap may consist of a tap portion 30, from the top of which extends a plug 3|. This plug has a front edge 32 extending at an angle at least substantially complementary to the angle of the edge I9. The plug likewise has an overhanging back edge 33 that may fit over the ledge 22, as shown in Fig. 8. The shape of the plug in horizontal section is that of the opening in the bottom surface of the heel. To increase the resiliency of the plug, slits 34 may be provided therein.
The extent of the overhang 33 will vary with the elasticity of the material of which the plug is made. Where relatively soft rubber or the like is used, the overhang will need to be fairly great. However, where the plug is made of less resilient material, the overhang 33 may be decreased in its extent. On some occasions, the plug may be made of material having a very low resiliency. However, the heel material has a certain amount of resiliency. In this case, only a slight overhang is necessary because the low elasticity of the materials will enable the overhang to remain securely in position, even though small. Such an arrangement is shown in copending application Serial No. 189,956, filed February 7, 1938, by the present applicant Pearson. It is some times desirable, as in rubber taps, to make the tap portion of the usual soft rubber, and the plug portion of harder rubber.
The tap in Figs. and ll has a plug 35 formed of sheet metal. It has a central part Ss from opposite sides of which extend prongs lll and di driven into the tap. An angular extension d2 is integral with the front edge, and is adatped to engage over the angular ledge I9 of the heel member. A prong i3 extends upwardly and inwardly from the rear` edge of the plug 33, and thence outwardly and upwardly, to engage over the ledge 22. The top part is turned further upwardly and then inwardly.
This type of plug is inherently resilient, as the extension l2 and prong 53 may yield about the central part 39.
The use of the present heel increases the resiliency of the shoes heretofore noted. It likewise reduces the weight which, in turn, reduces thefatigue on the Iwearer. The relatively thin walls enhance the resiliency and lightness.
For securing the heelto the shoe, it is only necessary to follow the well-known operations involving the conventional nailing machine. There are so many holes, and it will be noted that they have countersunk openings into the heel seat, that even a deflection of the nails in the nailing machine, which inevitably will occur at times, will not affect the capacity of the heel to be attached. If the nail deflects from the usual hole, it will merely strike another hole.
It has been found desirable to use barbednails because these resist removal of the heel. The material is sufficiently resilient to pass the barbs in driving the nails and yet to bind closely about them after they are in place. It has also been found desirable to use hot nails, which seat more readily by action upon the plastic. This expedient, however, is by no means necessary.
The heel tap is inserted in position by iirst engaging the edge 32 on the extension s2 of the plug over the edge l!! of the heel. The back portion is then forced into position. The sloping edge 23 of the ledge 22 assists in this insertion. The resiliency of the plug combined with that of the heel itself permits the overhang to pass over the ledge where it springs out into secure position. It is slightly under compression when in position, and the shape of the edge 32 causes this compression to seat the heel very tightly, since the forces act to drive the plug further into the heel.
In the molding of the heel, various elements are located in the mold, as heretofore described. The heel may be fashioned by the use of hot irons.
In some claims reference is made to nails, but the invention is to cover obvious mechanical equivalents of these familiar fastening means.
What is claimed is:
