UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

EDWVIN L. GODING, OF PORTLAND, MAINE.

HEELlNG-LAST,

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 596,064, dated December 28, 1897.

Application filed November 25, 1896. Serial No. 613,377. (No model.)

T0 at whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDWIN L. GODING, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Portland, in the county of Cumberland and State of Maine, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heelin g-La'sts; and I do hereby declare the follow ing 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.

My invention relates to improvements in heeling-lasts for heeling-machines. It is designed to be used with lasts which have the heel part removable or capable of being turned upward and forward, so as to admit the heeling-last to the shoe without the removal' of the fore part of the shoe-last.

I have illustrated my improved heeling-last and the use of the same in the drawings herewith accompanying and making a part of this application, in which Figure 1 is a central longitudinal sectional View of a shoe-last and heeling-last. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the heeling-last; and Fig. 3 is a vertical section of Fig. 2, taken on line X X.

Same letters of reference refer to like parts.

In said drawings, Arepresents the spindle of a heeling-machine, to which is secured the heeling-last, which consists of a spindle B, adapted to be secured to the end of the spindle of a heeling-machine and terminating in a heel adapted to engage the rear wall of the fore part of a divided last. The heel C may, if desired, be pivotally secured to the lower extremity of the spindle in any convenient manner, so that the forward end may be turned down into the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2 to enable the heeling-last to be more readily inserted in the shoe. The heel may have a socket D therein, and the end of the spindle B may terminate in a tongue E, adapted to extend into said socket, a pivot-bar F extending through the walls of the socket and said tongue. Again, if desired a spring-latch G may be secured to the spindle B and adapted to engage a shoulder H in' the top of the heeling-last.

So far as I am aware it has never been possible to use a heeling-last without removing the follower or otherlast from the shoe. This is objectionable, because either the follower cannot be inserted in the shoe until after the shoe has been heeled, 'or if inserted prior to the heeling it must be removed to admit the heeling-last, and afterward reinserted to allow the shoe to set to the last.

In the one case the shoe has to be handled from the time of the beating out until it passes the heeling-machine without a last, thereby rendering it subject to be broken down or injured. In the latter case it necessitates the removal and reinsertion of the last for the purpose of heeling.

In the present case it is only necessary to remove the heel portion of the last, or in jointed lasts to turn the heel part upward and forward out of the way of the heelinglast.

Having thus described my invention and its use, I claim- 1. A heeling-last composed of a spindle adapted to be secured to the spindle of a heeling-machine, and a heel pivotally secured to the end thereof, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

2. A heeling-last composed of a spindle adapted to be secured to the spindle of a heeling-machine and terminating in a heel pivotally secured thereto, its forward end being adapted to be turned down to a position nearly parallel with said spindle, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

8. A heeling-last composed of a spindle adapted to be secured to the spindle of a heelingmachine and terminating in a heel pivotally secured thereto, and means for locking said spindle and heel, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature, in presence of two witnesses, this 23d day of November, 1896.

EDWIN L. GODING.
