- the heel 48 is readily engaged with the heel retainer and then manual pressure on the shoe or boot can be released so that due to the provision of the yieldable members 64, the platform 55 will be biased or urged towards the stationary plate member 38 whereby the shoe will be locked in place under the desired amount of tension or pressure.
- the handle 43 can be used as a convenient means for carrying or holding the device.
- the base pieces 31 provide a convenient support to permit the tree to be supported in an upright position.
- the automatic shoe or boot tree 30 of the present invention is constructed so that the act of placing a boot or shoe in the device automatically adjusts the device to the thickness of the sole such as the sole 50, the thickness of the heel such as the heel 48, and to the proper length, and at the same time that the heel is placed under the heel retainer, the shoe is straightened as the toe is held in position by the toe retaining mechanism and the portions of the shoe near the ballof the foot where the bend comes in since the shoe .pushes against the platform 55 as the heel 48 is pushed towards the heel platform or plate 38.
- the platform 55 carries the toe retainer 60 which is movably mounted due to the provision of the rollers 59 which can move in the grooves 36 of the channel members 35, and the platform 55 is pulled or urged towards the heel section by means'of elastic bands 64, spring members or the like.
- the heel retainer 45 and toe retainer 60 are constructed so that the spring members or rubber bands 64 which urge them together, also serve to make the retainers 45 and 60 automatically stand in an upright or perpendicular position as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 for example, until the boot or shoe is placed therein, and then the retainers automatically adjust to the proper height of the sole and heel.
- the entire action works so easily and efficiently that it is just about as easy to place the boots in the tree as it is to set the boots on a shelf. 7
- the trees or racks can be built so that the shoes or boots are side by side in rows or boot rental shops, or the present invention can be adapted to accommodate street shoes.
- racks can be arranged to fit in closets similar to shelves or they can stand or hang on a wall or door.
- the shoe 49 on the right side which is shown in broken lines, shows the bent or curved sole so as to demonstrate graphically how the sole is straightened as it is put in the-press
- the shoe 49,0n the right side of FIG. 2 illustrates the steps of initially positioning the shoe in the device
- the shoe 49 shown in solid lines on the left side of FIG. 2 shows the position of the parts after the shoe is finally positioned in its proper location.
- the present invention also covers the use of a slide action instead of rollers, and also covers the use of a spring arrangement in place of rubber bands such as the rubber bands 64.
- the principles of the present invention are applicable to rental models intended for rental boots and can be set on shelves or fastened in racks or shelves, or fastened to the wall where the boots fit in the tree side by side instead of sole to sole, and also the carrying handle 43 and base 31 can be omitted. Also, the present invention is adapted to be used for street shoes for closet racks.
- the main feature or aspect of the present invention is the self adjusting toe retainer which is fastened to the sliding or rolling platform 55 which is pulled back towards the heel with spring tension, and wherein the platform operates easily with the tension of an otherwise curled sole pressing down on it.
- the sole 50 is straightened when the boot or shoe heel is pressed down to accept or receive the heel retainer, and the rubber band or spring tension automatically holds everything in its proper location.
- the present invention is easier'to operate with only one hand required as compared to prior art devices, and for example when the boot tree is fastened to a shelf or to the wall.
- the automatic boot press of the present invention adjusts to sole height, heel height, and the length of boot automatically, and it fits all sizes and straightens boots in a highly efficient manner.
- the sole of the boot or shoe is straightened by the act of putting the shoe or boot in the press and the shoe or boot is handled by the heel of the boot which gives the operator or person who puts the boot in the advantage of the long end of the sole from the normal part that is to be straightened.
- This is in contrast to the action which occurs when a shoe or heavy boot is straightened from the toe and wherein the radius from the curl is so short that it requires some other mechanical advantage such as a lever or wing screw for the operation thereof.
- the retainers 45 and 60 are arranged and constructed so that as pressure is applied to the bands 64, the retainers or wire loops will stand at substantially a right angle to the channel or platform.
- the retainers 45 and 60 have portions 53 and 63 that are arranged at right angles to the sides or portions 52 and 62, and the bands 64 engage the portions 53 and 63 as shown in the drawings.
- the retainers are free to pivot, and as previously stated the openings 54 and 65 have portions 53 and 63 respectively of the retainers extending therethrough whereby the retainers are free to pivot or swivel.
- the retainers or wire loops 45 and 60 will pivot in the proper direction when the bands 64 are under stress to automatically adjust to the thickness of the heel or toe sole.
