PEGGlNG-JACK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 353,200, dated November 23, 1886.

Application filed March 12, 1886. Serial No. 194,912. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, SAMUEL ORSON BROWN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Greenwood, in the county of Steuben and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pegging-Jacks; andI do declarethe following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to jacks for pegging boots and shoes, and has for its object to combine with a standard a last having a depending tongue, which, entering the standard, will secure the last in place and permit its inclining so as to place thereon or remove therefrom a boot or shoe by simply raising or lowering the latter in a vertical direction.

It consists in providing the last with a do pending tongue formed on the arc of a circle, which is adapted to enter a corresponding mortise in the standard, theparts being so proportioned that the last will readily turn on its circular tongue and permit the boot or shoe to be applied or removed by moving it in the direction of the length of the standard.

It further consists in the novel features more fully hereinafter set forth and claimed, and shown in the drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side view of a jack of my construction partly in section, showing my improvements. Fig. 2 is a View of the upper portion of the standard, showing the last in an elevated position. Fig. 31s a plan view of the top of the standard. Fig. 4 is a front view of the last, and Fig. 5 is a rear View.

In carrying out my invention, and to show the application thereof, a standard provided with the means for clamping the boot or shoe to the last and holding it in suchposition, patented by me September 23, 1884, No. 305,506, is illustrated in the annexed drawings, in

which the standard A, base A, lever G, )lV- oted to the standard, ring B, link D, and

strap E, comprise the essential elements.

The standard, which may be of any approved form or size, has a mortise or recess,

a, in its upper end 'for the reception of the tonguef, depending from the last F. The recess and tongue are of corresponding shape, and each is formed in the arc of a circle in such manner as to leave a solid central portion, a, about which the last turns in its up and down movements when applying and removing the boot or shoe.

It will be noticed that the end of the tongue catches on the rib a, forming the center of the circle of which the tongue and recess are a part, and holds the last in an elevated position, as shown in Fig.2.

The recess in cross-section is made wedge shape, having its narrower end nearer the rib a, and the tongue is made of a corresponding shape in cross-section. By this arrangement a further provision is made to hold the last against accidental displacement when in an elevated position, and. also against sidewise play. The endf of the tongue is slightly expanded to cause it to catch at thenlouth of the recess, and holdit in place therein when drawn into the narrower end when thelast is in its,

highest position.

The rib a closes one end of the mortise and is curved on itsinner side. The curved tongue f of the last,fitt1ng in the mortise,works about said rib as the last is elevated or lowered, and causes it to move in the arc of a circle.

Having thus described my invention, whatI claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

1. In a pegging-jack, the combination, with the standard having a mortise in its upper end, and a rib closing one end of the mortise, of a last, and a segmental or hooked tongue depending therefrom adapted to enter themortise and work about the rib and form a pivotal connection between the last and standard, substantially as described,and for the purpose specified.

2. The. co mbination,with the standard having a curved mortise projecting from its top and through to one of its sides, forming arib,

I said mortise being wedge-shaped in cross-section, of a last havinga correspondingly-curved or segmental tongue depending therefrom coincidentally shaped in cross-section, and fitted in said mortise for pivotally connecting thelast with the standard, substantially as set forth.

3. The combination of the standard having In testimony whereof I affix my signature in a curved recess in its upper end, wedgepresence of two Witnesses. shaped in cross-section, and the last having a T correspondingly shaped and curved tongue SAMUEL ORSOL BROVVN' 5 depending from its under side, the end of said Witnesses:

tongue being slightly expanded, substantially L. H. LITOHARD, as and for the purposes set forth. D. M. OHILsoN.
