UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
FRANK H. HOLDEN, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
LAST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 241,136, dated May 10, 1881.
Application lcd August 23, 1880. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Beit known that I, FRANK H. HOLDEN, of Chicago, in the county ot' Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lasts; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to letters ot' reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to lasts adapted to the manufacture of boots and shoes having removable and changeable toe parts, whereby the principal part, or body of the last may be used with any one of several forms or styles of toe that may be required by a prevailing fashion. Itconsistsinthefeaturesofconstruction hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claim.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a last provided with my improvement. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a toe-piece detached from the last-body. Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal section of the last-body and toepiece through one ot the fastenings, and Fig. 4 is a top view of the last with the block removed.
A` represents the rear portion or main body of the last, B the block, and C the toe-piece, each sepa 1able from the others. The line of division between the parts A and C is transverse and vertical, and is located at or a little forward ofthe ball of the last., in front of which the changes in form or style invariably appear.
The toe-piece C is ot' wood, and D is a metal plate, having two tubular projections, F, which set horizontally into the toe-piece, and are interio'rly threaded to receive the connectingbolts G. Said bolts C are attached to the last-body A. ln this instance they are permanently attached by having the heads or nuts H secured thereto by the pins p, which heads lie in recesses J of the last-body, and are ac cessible when the block l is removed.
The holes in the last-body through which the bolts G pass may be hushed, as shown at I, Fig. 3, and, if desired, metal platesmay be interposed between the heads H and the wood upon which they bear in drawing the parts together. rBhe heads H are preferably provided with holes in their periphery by which to turn them, instead of being squared, that the recess J may not be unnecessarily large and thus weaken the wood.
By turning the bolts G the part C may obviously be attached or removed at pleasure.
Several toe-pieces being provided to tit thev same last-body, a corresponding number of styles of shoes may be made from the same last-body. It is believed that in the'manufaeture of shoes on a large scale this will effect au important saving in the cost of the lasts used.
rIhe metal part D is firmly secured to the toe-piece, so as not to be loosened or detached by the hammering to which it is subjected, by means of the rivets L, inserted vertically through the projections F and the wood surrounding them. Marginal tlanges f, overlying the wood, will serve to keep the toe-piece from splitting. It' preferred, said flanges may be extended on top and bottom toward the toe, and secured by the rivet L, as seen in Fig. l, instead of riveting through F.
In the-drawings two connecting-bolts, Gr, are shown. Obviouslya single bolt may be sufficient for strength, and will be more quickly manipulated. Dowels or theirequivalent would in the use of a single bolt be necessary to hold the parts in proper relation, and will be desirable when two'bolts are used.
The bottom plate now commonly applied to lasts used in manufacturing boots and shoes may be extended from one part centrally upon the other, and'be screwed thereto, so as to materially re-enforce the connection herein shown and described.
I am aware that lasts have been made with changeable toe pieces, wherefore I do not broadly claim this feature ol" construction; but
I claim- In combination with the body A and a coni'iecting-bolt, G, the wooden detachable toepiece C, provided with a metal part, D, projecting forward into or upon the toepiece and secured by the rivet L, said metal part being recessed to receive and engage the connectingbolt, substantially as described, and for the purposes set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I aflix my signaturein presence ot' two witnesses.
FRANK H. HOLDEN.
