BOOT OR SHOE TREE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 441,115, dated November 18, 18.90. i
Application tiled August 20, 1887. Serial No. 247,453. (No model.)
To a/ZZ whom it may concern:
Be itknown that we, FLORENTINE L. STONE and ALEXANDER R. WELLMAN, of Brockton, in the county of Plymouth and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Boot or Shoe Trees, of
which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to a foot-piece for a boot or shoe tree having one or more longitudinal bottom sections or side pieces arranged to move longitudinally forward and backward on the foot-piece, which in such movements move laterally or toward and from the longitudinal central vertical plane of the foot-piece, so that the ball portion of the footpiece will be respectively contracted and restored to its full width for the easy removal of the foot-piece from the boot or shoe after it has been treed to prevent injury to the forni of the upper in such removal; and the invention consists of a novel mode of securing the longitudinal section or side piece or sections or side pieces to the foot-piece, all substantially as hereinafter fully described.
In the accompanying plate of drawings, Figures 1 and 2 represent, respectively, side and plan views of a foot-piece for a boot or shoe tree constructed according to this invention. Figs. 3 and 5 are respectivelyplan and bottom views of the foot-piece with the bottom sections or side pieces moved forward. Fig. 4. is abottom view of Figs. l and 2, showing parts broken away and in section. Figs. 6 and 7 are vertical cross-sections on line 6 6 and 7 7, respectively, Fig. 2. Fig. Sis a view similar to Fig. 4, to be hereinafter referred to.
In the drawings, A represents a foot-piece for a boot or shoe tree adapted to besecured at B to the back of a boot-tree in any ot the usual ways.
D and E are two longitudinal sections or side pieces of the bottom of the foot-piece, one on cach side, and each adapted to move forward and backward in its respective seat F on the body portion of the foot-piece.
In the manufacture of this foot-piece it is in ade of the shape and form desired in any the usual ways, and then it is sawed through e width along the line H from about the step portion toward the heel portion as far as the cross-line K, wherev it is sawed off, the line H being a curved line and substantially corresponding to the general longitudinal curvature of the bottom surface J of the footpiece. This bottom piece is then sawed into three pieces, through its thickness along the lines L M, making the two sectional side pieces D E and a central or intermediate piece N, the line L being parallel or substantially parallel with the central longitudinal vertical plane of the foot-piece, and the other line IWI at an angle longitudinally to such plane. The central piece N is then placed on the body portion from where it was taken and there secured by nails, screws, glue, orl in any suitable manner. Secured to the inner side g of each side piece by screws a. is a strip or plate b, of brass or of any suitable metal, having a longitudinal slot 7, through which projects a screw P, which screws into the side of the central piece N, contiguous to its respective side piece, the strip b forming a shoulder for the head d of the screw. Each side piece is cut away, as ath, along and back of the slot sufficient for the side piece as it is moved forward and backward on the footpiece to freely slide over the head of the screw P. As the side pieces move forward they move along the respective edges or shoulders L M of the central piece N, one E of the pieces moving toward the other or toward the central longitudinal vertical plane of the foot piece, because such side or shoulder M in clines toward such plane from its back end to its front end, whereby the foot-piece will be contracted laterally or reduced in width at the ball portion, which is shown more partie ularly in Figs. 3, 5, and '7. l
In removing the foot-piece from the boot the body portion G slides along the sectional pieces, which moves the one E nearer to the other, as described, and from the sides of the boot, consequently relieving the sides of the boot of more or less pressure at or about the ball portion, enabling the whole foot-piece to then be easily removed from the boot.
To more properly guide the sectional side pieces and keep them in place, a pin G, secured transversely in the central piece N, has its ends r project therefrom, one each side, into a slot R in the sido g of each sectional roo piece, the slot being of a size to allow free movement of the piece over the pin. A hole or opening S is made in each section or side piece opposite to the outer end t of the slot f for the insertion of the screw P in attaching the side piece to the body portion.
Each section or side piece can be made separately from the body portion and tbe body portion made to receive them in other ways than as described, or the central piece N can Y be integral with the body portion, the invention consisting, in substance, of the manner of securing the side pieces to the body portion and have them operate as described. The slot f in the side of the sectional piece and its shoulder can be made in any suitable manner, although as described is simple and practical; also, the screw P can be a headed pin or wire or made of any suitable shape; also, only one section or side piece need be used, as shown, for instance in Fig. 8, the central piece being one with the other side of the foot-piece and having the longitudinal angular line or shoulder L, by which the section is guided when moving forward and backward, giving it the necessary' lateral movements. By securing the movable sections to the central piece rather than to the body portion directly each section is cut away in its thicker portion for its attachment; also, by having an opening S to the slot only sufflcient for the insertion of the screw extend to the outside less of the material is cut away, retaining substantially the full strength of the piece, which is preferable to having the slot f extend through the thickness its whole length, with the screwhead at the outside, this latter tending to weaken the piece with the liability of its being easily broken in use.
Having thus described our invention, what We claim is l. A foot-piece for a boot or shoe tree, consisting of a body portion having a recess on one side on the sole-surface, a guiding-pin and a headed pin or screw projecting into said recess, and a bottom section and side piece adapted to fit said recess and arrangedto be moved forward and backward thereon, having a slot toengage with the guiding-pin and a shouldered slot to engage with the headed pin or screw, for the purpose speciiied.
2. A foot-piece for a boot or shoe tree having a bottom central piece provided with guiding-pins and headed pins or screws, and bottom sections or side pieces on cach side of the central piece and adapted to be moved forward and backward thereon, each having a slot to engage with a guiding-pin and a shouldered slot to engage with a headed pin or screw, for the purpose specified.
In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
