SPECIFICATION forming part of llietters` Patent-No. 377,440, dated February '7, 1888,
Application filed September 24,-1787.y Serial No. 250,606. (No model.) i v v To @ZZ whom, t may concern.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM SAGE, a citi- /zen ot' the United States, and a resident of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of.
Figure lis a sectional View of an icecreeper embodying my invention.L Fig. 2 isa top `view of the same, and Fig. 3 a bottom view.
The form of creeper in which I have chosen to illustrate my invention consists of two U- shaped plates, A B, between which is clamped the turned-'in' edge c of the piece of` leather C,
forming a cap for the heel of a boot or shoe.
The two plates are pierced with apertures a b, the former being screwthreaded and the latter countersunk, as seen in Fig. l, and through these apertures pass screws D, which secure the two4 plates together and confine the leather of the cap between them. The lscrews D, which engage with thel screw-threaded apertures a and have their heads lv seated in countersunk portions of apertures b, are somewhat longer than the combined thickness of plates A B and leather C, and have their projecting ends d pointed to act as spurs toprevent'slipping. The upper face of plate B is roughened in any desired manner to lessen danger of the shoe slipping relatively thereto.l
Straps E maybe attached to the cap-piece C to secure it to the foot.
The pointed spurs used in ice-creepersto prevent slipping quickly become dulled, especially when frequently broughtinto contact with hardY pavements; and as ice-creepers are ordinarily mader with the spurs riveted or otherwise permanently secured to the other parts of the creepelgthe whole becomes useless as soon'as the points are dulled. In my invention, how;
ever, as ksoon as the point becomes dulled it, may be removed and another substituted, thus` permitting the plates and. straps-the most.
expensive portions of the lcreeper--to be used witha great number of sets of points." Y
While/I have described my invention as appliedto a' removable heelcap, it will be seen that it isequally applicable to an ice-Creeper adapted to bev attached to any other 'portionvoff the shoe, so long as two plates are employedI between which are clamped the straps or other means of attachment to the shoe, all being united by screws, the projecting ends of whichl are pointed and, act as spurs.
I claimf` An ice-Creeper metal plates, A B, the upper one'being provided with countersunk apertures and the consistingfof twojU-shaped lower one with screw-threaded apertures, heel-A I cap C, having its edge clamped between said plates, and screw-bolts D, passing through said apertures and uniting said plates, and having their ends pointed and projecting beyond the face of the lower plate, substantially asde-y l scribed. f
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two/subscribing witnesses. f j WILLIAM SAGE.` Witnesses: f p Y lWILLIAM F. SAGE, j
