UNITED STATES PATENT FFICE.
WILLIAM ROSEN FIELD, OF MANISTEE, MICHIGAN.
HEEL-PLATE AND lCE-CREEPER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 472,396, dated April 5, .1892. Application filed December 29, 1891. Serial No. 416,436. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern;
Be it known that I, WILLIAM ROSENFIELD, a c tizen of the United States of America, residing at Manistee, in the county of Manistee and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a'Oombined Heel-Plate and Ice-Creeper; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, 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 a combined heelplate and ice-creeper for boots and shoes; and the ob ect of my improvement is to provide a combined plate and creeper for the purposes stated, which will serve with equal utility to preserve the boot or shoe and which may be readily converted into an ice-creeper whenever the condition of the surface warrants.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view showing the device attached tothe heel of a shoe, the creeper being turned with its fiat side or surface outward. Fig. 2 is a similar view wherein the creeper is in position wlt-h the calks or teeth outward. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line a; 00 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 1s a perspective of the device, showing the upper side thereof; and Fig. 5 is a detail of the base-plate.
A designates the base-plate, preferably of the shape shown in the drawings, and consistmg of an integral plate having side pieces 1 2, connected by a rear piece or bar 3 and a front piece or bar 4. In the connecting bar or piece 3 are formed openings 5, constituting sockets to receive the calks or teeth of the creeper when that elementis turned with its fiat or smooth surface outward, as seen in Fig. 2 of the drawings. These sockets are preferably made long enough to take in the calks and are formed tapering and sharp, as seen in Fig. 3 of the drawings, so that they may be readily forced into the material to which the device is to be attached. The front bar 4. constitutes a spring and has projecting from it a spring-tongue 6, which engages with the creeper, as shown, and serves to hold that element in position when turned in either direction. The plate is provided with spikes or nails constituting attaching-prongs 7, by
which it is secured to the shoe.
On the side portions of the base-plate A are secured metal taps or lifts 8 9, these being thick enough to reach above the surface of the body of the creeper, so that when the creeper 'is arranged in its bearings and turned back its face will be free from or above the wearing-surface of the taps. In the edges of the plates are formed bearings 10 11, wherein are pivoted and supported the journals of the creeper, as shown.
B designates the creeper, formed with el- 1i ptical or flattened journals to set in the bearings between the plates, so that the spring function of the plates will aid in holding the creeper flat in either direction to whichturned. The creeper is formed with calks or teeth 12 to engage a surface, and the calks take in the sockets and are there concealed when the creeper is not in use as such. The creeper also has a finger-piece 13, by which it is manipulated. The spring finger or tongue engages the creeper and also serves to throw it flat and hold it in that position.
The uses of my invention are readily perceived from the description; but they may be here rehearsed. The device being secured to the shoe or boot, it is ready for use, and all that is required to do is to turn the creeper in the direction the condition of the surface on which it is to be used indicates.
Havingthus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s
1. The combined heel-plate and ice-creeper herein described, consisting of a base-plate having a rear connecting-bar formed with openings to receive the calks of the creeper and a front piece or bar formed with a springtongue and having attaching-prongs 7, and an ice-creeper journaled in the plate and formed with calks to engage a surface and adapted to turn back and rest with the calks in the openings of the rear connecting-bar of the base-plate and to be held by the spring-tongue thereof.
2. The combined heel-plate and ice-creeper herein described, consisting of a base-plate A, having side taps 8 9 secured thereto, a rear connecting-piece formed with tapering sockets and a front connecting-bar having a springtongue and having attaching-prongs 7, and an In testimony whereof I affix my signature in lee-creeper journaled between the base-plate presence of two \vltnesses. and the side taps to ride on the end of the spring-tongue and formed with ealks and XVILLIAH ROSENFIELD. 5 adapted to be turned on its bearings t0 hori- Witnesses:
