SAMUEL L. SMITHERS, OF LINCOLN, NEBRASKA.
RUBBER OVERSHOE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 366,266, dated July 12, 1887.
Application filed March 17, 1887. Serial No. 231,329. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be itknown that I, SAMUEL L. SMITHERS, a citizen of the United States, and residing at Lincoln, in the county of Lancaster and State of Nebraska, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rubber Overshoes; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,which will enableothers skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to certain improvements in rubber overshoes, the object of my improvements being to prevent the shoe from coming off by-slipping down at the heel. I attain this object by means of the devices illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side view of a gentlemans shoe with overshoe and my attachment to the same. Fig. 2 is a plan view of my attachment or heelstrap; and Fig. 3 shows a plan and side elevation of a small metal plate or disk that is secured to the shoe,and to which the heel-strap is riveted.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout.
To a rubber overshoe, B, I attach a metal heel-strap, 0, running around the heel and secured to the shoe on each side at a point about over the front part of the heel-tap. This strap is pivoted at I, and when raised up, as shown in Fig. 1, it falls into the hollow above the heel and securely prevents the shoe from slipping off.
- The heel strap 0 is attached to the shoe by means of the two metal disks E, that may be made,as shownin the drawings, with. projecting points H H, that are intended to be pressed through the shoe and turned down on the inside; or they may be so made as to be built into the shoe between the lining and the outside covering, only the disk or central portion projecting.
In order to prevent the heel-strap from falling down, the disks E are made with small ridges, as shown at F, with corresponding depressions in the heel-strap C, so located that when the strap is raised to its proper place the ridges F fall into the depressions in the heelstrap,and the disk and strap being held closely together by the rivet I,the strap is prevented from falling, while it may be readily pushed down when desired.
Thestrap 0 may be made of any suitable ma terial with metal ends, or it may be covered with leather or rubber, as shown at D, Fig. 1.
I claim 1. In combination with a rubber overshoe, a metallic heel-strap, O, encircling the heel and pivoted to the shoe upon each side, in the manner and for the purpose specified.
2. In combination with themetal heel-strap O and rubber overshoe B, the metal disks E, having ridges or corrugations F, when used in the manner and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my-own I hereto affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
- SAMUEL 'L. SMITHERS.
