FILING HAN D-FLANGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 624,485, dated May 9, 1899.

' Application filed August 6, 1898.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANDREW HERMAN, a resident of Cheyenne, county of Laramie, State of WVyoming, have invented an Improvement in Filing Hand-Flanges, of which the following is a specification.

This invention contemplates certain new and useful improvements in filing handflanges; and it has for its object the produc-' tion of a simple and efficient tool of this nature whereby the soles of boots, shoes, and the like may be so filed near the edges thereof as to give the same a finished appearance when ready for the market.

The invention will be hereinafter fully set forth, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation illustrating my invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view thereof; Figs. 3 and 4 are details.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a head or carrierhaving an upper reduced portion a fitting snugly within a corresponding recess in handled. The files or other scraping members B are flat and of approximately rectangular shape in cross-section, the top and bottom surfaces 1) thereof being preferably provided with the usual cutting or rasping surfaces. Said files are firmly held against the lower fiat surface 1) of carrier A by a clamp or member C of approximatelyinverted-T shape, said clamp or member having a central shank or tongue designed to keep the files separated and two lateral'wings or extensions b upon which said files are designed to rest. The wings of the clamp are firmly bound against said files by means of a binding-screw I), passed through a hole or opening 5 in clamp G and Workingin a threaded recess b of carrier A, which registers with In practice the boot or shoe to be operated upon is inverted, and the tool is brought in Serial Natsmm. (No model.)

are rigidly held between the clamp and the carrier while in use and at the same time bear against the sides of said shank, and yet the construction is such that they can be readily and easily interchanged or new ones substituted 'at will.

A further advantage possessed by my improved filing hand-flange lies in the fact that the same is extremely simple and inexpensive,

and being composed of but few parts is not liable to readily get out of order or become deranged.

I claim as my invention- 1. A tool for finishing boots and shoes, comprising a carrier, a clamp adjustably secured thereto and having a central shank, and scraping devices held between said carrier, and said clamp, and separated from each other by said shanlgas set forth.

2. A tool for finishingboots and shoes, comprising a carrier, an elongated clamp having a central shank and lateral wings, said wings having straight edges forming guides, scraping devices located between said wings and said carrier, and means for securing said clamp to said carrier, substantially as set forth.

3. A tool for finishing boots and shoes, com- ANDREW HERMAN.
