L. -B. GIBSON. BOOT SORAPER AND CLEANER.
No. 443,437. Patented Dec. 23, 1890.
WITNESSES UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
LYMAN B. GIBSON, OF PAINTED POST, NEW YORIQASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO JOHN AMASA STANTON, OF SAVE PLACE.
BOOT SCRAPER AND CLEANER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 443,437, dated December 23, 1890. Application filed June 19, 1889. Renewed September 1, 1890. Serial No. 363,599. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that. I, LYMAN B. GIBSON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Painted Post, in the county of Steuben and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Boot Scrapers and Cleaners; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, and in whicht, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved boot scraper and cleaner. Fig. 2 is a similar view seen from the opposite side, and Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view.
Similar numerals of reference indicate cor- 2o responding parts in all the figures.
My invention has relation to devices for scraping and cleaning boots; and it consists in the improved construction and combination of parts of such a scraper and cleaner 2 5 in which pieces of rubber or similar material are clamped between metallic plates with their edges projecting for the purpose of.
oifering soft scraping-edges which will not injure the leather of the boot or shoe o cleaned, as hereinafter more fully described and claimed. 7
In the accompanying drawings, the numeral 1 indicates a plate, which is provided with laterally-projecting brackets 2, standing at right angles to the lower edge and formed with eyes 3 for the insertion of securing screws or nails, and which is'preferably made of iron or steel, although it may be made from any suitable material. This plate is 40 preferably secured to a board or plate 4, al-
though it may be directly secured to the floor or step by the fastening screws or nails 5, and
the upper edge of oneportion 6 of the plate is straight and sharpened, while at the remaining portion of the plate the upper edge is cut away with the exception of an upright portion 7 at the end. A plate 8, having a similarly cutout upper edge 9, is secured by means of nutted screw-bolts 10 to one side of the main plate, and a plate 11, of rubber or similar yielding material, is inserted and I clamped between the two plates, having its upper edge out out in the same manner as the two clamping-plates andhaving its edges projecting beyond the cut-out edges of the said plates, so as to form a yieldin'g project ing strip 12. The smaller clamping-plate is provided with an upwardly and obliquely projecting plate 13, having a concave upper edge 14 and secured to and projecting from the lower edge of the said plate, and a similarly-shaped plate 15 is secured to this plate by means of nutted screw-bolts 16, and serves to clamp a piece 17, of rubber or similar ma terial, which has its upper edge out out corresponding to the edges of the smaller clamping-plates, and which has its edge projecting out to form a yielding scraper.
It will be seen that the boots may be first scraped clean by scraping the soles over the sharpened upper edge of the rigid clampingplate, whereupon the sole may be cleaned at the bottom and sides by the yielding strip projecting from the edges of the cut-out portions of the clamping-plates, and the counters' and heels of the shoe or boot may be cleaned by the concave edge of the yielding strip between the smaller oblique clampingplates, the shape of the edge of the said strip corresponding nearly to the curve of the heel or counter.
Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States In a boot scraper and cleaner, the combination of a main plate having suitable laterally-projecting brackets for securing it and having a straight sharpened portion of the upper edge and a rectangularly cut-out portion, a similarly cut-out smaller clampingplate removably secured by nutted bolts, a correspondingly cut out yielding plate clamped between the plates and projecting beyond the cut-out edges, a small plate projecting from the lower edge of the small 5 clamping-plate in an obliquely upward direcmy ownI have hereunto aflixed my signature in resence of two witnesses.
:LYMAN l GIBSON.
