UNITED ASTATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN I-I. MOHROW, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
HEEL-RUBBER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 630,726, dated August-8,1899.
' Application tied February is, 1899. serial No. 708,002. (No model.)
To a/ZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOHN H. MORROW, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Heel-Rubber, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The invention relates toheehrubbers such as shown and described in the application for Letters Patent of the lUnited States, Serial No. 678,732, filed by me on April 25, 1898, and allowed on Decemberl 29, 1898.
The object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved heel-rubber ar-V ranged. to be conveniently and quickly at-r tached to the heel of a shoe or boot to prevent persons when Walking on Yice or on slippery sidewalks or other places from slipping and falling.
The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations of the same, as will be fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claims.
A practical embodiment of myinvention is represented in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate correp sponding parts in all the views.
Figure l is a sectional side elevation of the improvement on the line l l in Fig. 2 and as applied to a shoe. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the improvement. Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of a modified form of improvement. Fig. 4 is a reduced end view of a modified form'of the improvement, and Fig. 5 is a similar View of another modified form of the same;
The improved heel-rubber illustrated in Figs. l and 2 consists of a bottom A, conforming approximately in shape to the under surface of the heel of ashoe or boot on which the heel-rubber is to be used, a heel-flange B, rising from the bottom A and adapted to eX- tend around the heel of the shoe or boot, said heel-fiange being formed with a flange b, projectingI forwardly from its front upper edge,
and a counter' C, rising from the heel-flange B and having its front portion extending beyond the front ofthe heel-flange and connected with the iiange Yb of the said heelflange, the said counter being adapted to engage a portion of the counter of the shoe or boot, as plainly shown in Fig. 2.
The upper portion of the counter C is splitand formed with iiaps C C2, adapted to over lap one another and adapted to be fastened together by a suitable fastening device, preferably in the shape of a button and socket D, to securely fasten the drawn flaps together and prevent the heel-rubber from becoming accidentally detached from the shoe or boot. The inner surface of one or both iiaps C C2 is preferably roughened, as at E, to increase the hold of the counter C on the shoe or boot.
Instead of having the overlapping flaps C C2 I may split the upper end of the counter C3, as shown in Fig. 3, to form two flaps C4 C5, adapted to be drawn together by a lacingstring F, secured at one end to the counter and adapted to engage hooks G on the said fiaps C4 C5, the hooks being of any approved construction.
The flaps C5 C6 (shown in Fig. 1) areconnected with each other by elastic bands H, which readily give When applying the heelrubber on the shoe or boot and serve to securely hold the flaps in contact with the shoe or boot to hold the heel-rubber in position. In the modified form shown in Fig. 5 use is made of a band I, secured to one flap C7 and adapted to be buttoned or otherwise secured to the other flap C8.
` It is understood that when the iiaps C C2 or C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 are open or opened by pulling the fiaps C5 C6 apart against the tension of the elastic bands H the heel-rubber can be readily attached to the shoe or boot, and
then the iiaps are fastened together to securely draw the heel-rubber in place and to prevent the same from becoming accidentally detached from the shoe or boot.
I do notlimit myself to the particular means shown for fastening the aps together, as the saine may be varied without deviating from the spirit of my invention.
The device is very simple and durable in construction and is preferably made completely of rubber, the bottom A, iiange B, and
-counter C being integral-that is, molded in one piece. v
Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. As a new article of manufacture, a heelrubber, comprising a bottom, a heel-ange rising from the bottom and extending around IOO edge, a counter rising from the heel-fiange and having its front portion projecting beyond the front of the heel-ilangeand connected with the forwardly-projecting flange thereof, said counter having its upper rear portion split and formed with overlapping flaps and a fastening device for drawing the flaps together to contract the upper portion of the counter, as set forth.
