SHOEI-PULL.

SPEGIFICATIONfoz-ming part of Letters Patent No. 592,819, dated November 2, 1897.

Application filed September 4, 1896. Serial No. 604,830. (No model.)

zen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Shoe-Pulls, which improvement.

is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to an improvement in a device adapted for grasping an article of footwear in order to conveniently draw the same on the foot; and it consists in providing such device with novel means, as hereinafter described, for engaging with the heel of the shoe, thus preventing the slipping of the implement when upward draft is exerted on the same.

Figure 1 represents a side elevation of a shoe-pull embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a rear view thereof.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the two figures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a shoe-horn having on the rear thereof the ear B, on which is pivoted the lever O, the same being provided with'a suitable handle at its upper end and with the jaw D at its lower projects laterally from said ear and occupies a position below the handle of the lever G. Bearing against the lever G and the handle E is a spring F, whose tendency is to hold the jawD from the horn A, as shown in Fig. 1.

G designates a leg which depends from the lever O or jaw D and has at its lower end the foot F, which is so disposed as to engage with the heel of the shoe to be drawn on the foot.

The operation is as follows, the position of the parts being shown in Fig. 1: The device is properly grasped and the rear wall of the article of footwear, say a shoe, is received between the horn A and the jaw D. By properly pressing the lever 0 toward the grip the jaw D is forced toward the horn A, so that the contiguous portion of the shoe is tightly grasped. At the same time the foot E is directed underneath the heel of the shoe and placed thereagainst, in which position of parts the device is drawn upwardly and the shoe thus conveniently fitted on the foot. By releasing the handle ofthe lever the jaw separates from the wall of the shoe, and the device may be readily removed, it being noticed that the foot F recedes from the heel of pivoted to said horn, a handle on said lever extending rearwardly, a jaw on said lever, a grip extending rearwardly from said horn and toward which said handle is adapted to move, and a leg depending from said lever below said grip and provided with a foot adapted to extend beneath the heel of a shoe.

2. A shoe-pull consisting of a horn, an car on said horn, a lever pivoted to said ear, a handle on said lever, a jaw on said lever, a grip pivoted to said ear and extending rearwardly therefrom, a spring against the lever and grip and adapted to separate the same, a leg depending from said lever below said jaw and a foot on said leg adapted-to extend beneath the heel of a shoe.
