ANSON WILLIS AND ISAAC B. PRICE, OF JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY.
HEEL FOR BOOTS AND SHOES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 242,727, dated June 7, 1881. Application filed July 24, 1880. (N 0 model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, ANsoN WILLIsand ISAAC B. PRICE, of Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented ,certain Improvements in Heel Parts for Boots and Shoes; and we do hereby deolare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accom ianying drawings, which form part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 represents a series of views in perspective, showing difl'erentparts ofour invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of modification of heel. Figs. 3 and at are vertical transverse sectional views of heel. Fig. 5 is a vertical transverse sectional view of heel with modification and Fig. 6 is a front view of heel with modified form of fastenings.
Our invention has relation to certain improvements in the heelparts ot'boots and shoes; and it consists, first, in the novel construction and application of detachable heel top-lifts; and,second,in the combination, with a detachable heel, a top-lift detachable therefrom, and a heel-seat plate, of a pivoted fastening, which serves to secure the heel to the heel-seat and the top-lift to the heel.
In the drawings, A designates a detachable heel, which, for the purposes of our invention, is preferably made of metal, and hollow. Any material, however, may be used that will answer the desired purpose. To receive said heel the heel-scat a of the bootorshoe has attached to it a dovetailed or male plate, B, secured in place by screws, rivets, or other suitable fastenings. The heel is correspondingly grooved, and slides on andover said plate from the back, as shown, The bottom of the heel is similarly grooved, adapting it for the reception of the top-lift O, which is made of leather, wood, or other desirable material, and has fastened to its upper surface a dovetailed male plate, 0, sliding in the heel-groove from the front.
A fastening consisting of a pivoted plate, 61, operated through the medium of a screw, nut,
or stud, d, and applied within the cavity of the heel, is employed to hold the heel to the heel-seat and the top-lift to the heel1'. e, to prevent them from sliding out of place. The ends of the plate d, in fastening, enter slots or notches d (l in the heel-seat plate and top lift plate, respectively.
Instead of the pivoted plate d other means of fastening may be employedas, for instance, the buttons e e (Shown in Fig. 6.)
In some cases the heel-seat plate may be dispensed with, and the heel, having lugs e as shown in Fig. 2, attached directly to the heelseat by screws or equivalent fastenin gs.
A spring, d, may be used in connection with the fastening d, to cause the same to operate automatically.
Our invention possesses many advantages. By interchanging the top-lifts the heels may be kept straight. When worn the top-lifts may be replaced by new ones at a trifling cost. In winter rubber or metal top'lifts may be used, or top-lifts with spikes or studs to prevent slipping. In this way the heel proper may be preserved intact.
Having described our invention, we claim as new-- 1. The combination, with the heel-seat plate 13, detachable heel A, and detachable top-lift G, of the pivoted catch cl, adapted to secure at once the heel to the heel-seat plate and the toplit't to the heel, substantially as shown and set forth.
2. The detachable top-lift 0, provided with the flanged or dovetailed plate 0, in combination with a correspondingly-grooved heel, A, substantially as set forth.
In testimony that weclaim the foregoing as our own we have hereto affixed our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
