SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 7 06,551, dated August 12, 1902.
Application iiled December 17, 1900. Serial No. 40,151. (No modelz) T0 all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that we,WILLIAM GORDON and GEORGE E. VAREEN, citizens of the United States, residing at Boston, in the county of More specifically, the object of the present invention is to produce a strong, durable, and cheap substitute for the ordinary leather heel of a boot or shoe and at the same time strengthen and protect the counter portion of the boot or shoe.
With this object in view the present invention consists of a metal heel and counter-protector, a tread-plate, and a heel-block, the tread-plate and heel-block being provided with a series of registering holes, through which fastening devices may be driven into the sole of a shoe afterthe heel and counterprotector, tread-plate, and heel-block have been placed in proper position.
In the accompanying drawings, illustrating the preferred form of our invention, Figure l.
is a side elevation of a shoe provided with our improvement. Fig. 2 is a transverse crosssection of the heel. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the heel and counter-protector with the heel-block in position therein, and Fig. 4 is a plan view ofthe heel and counter-protector and tread-plate. i
In the drawings, l designates the'shoe-upper provided with the usual sole 2. The heel of the shoe consists of a heel-block 3, a heel and counter-protector 4, and a tread-plate 5. The heel and counter-protectoris made of thin elastic metal, preferably thin sheet-steel, Shaped to embrace and support the counter elastcally, being thus capable of yielding to 5o the pressure of the foot or accidental blows Withoutsuffering permanent distortion. The heel and counter-protector Ll is provided 011 its lower edge with an in wardly-turned flange (l, to which the tread-plate 5 is preferably se- 55 wear and at the same time securely holding 6o the heel-block 3 on the shoe by the means hereinafter described. `The tread-plate may cover the whole or a part of the tread-surface of the heel as desired, and it may be provided with projections 7 to roughen the surface of 65 the tread-plate and afford a snrer footing. The heel-block may-be made of any suitable material; but we prefer to make it of Wood, as the same is cheap and durable and easily worked and brought tothe desired shape. is concaved on its` upper side to receive the heel part of the s0le 2, and itis provided with a series of holes 9 toreceive the fastening devices by means of which it issecured to the heel part of the sole of the shoe. plate 5 is provided with aser-ies of holes exactly corresponding in position with the holes in the heel-block, so thatthe nails l0 or other fastening devices may be driven through said holes in both the block and the tread- 8o plate and penetrate the heel part of the sole and be clenched on the inside of the shoe. We prefer also to provide the liange 6` Witha series of holes corresponding to some'orv all of the holes in the tread-plate 85 and heel-block, so that the fastening devices l0, which secure the tread-plate and heelblock to the sole, may also ser-ve as means for holding the heel and counter-protector to the shoe. To the aboveend the liange (ijsshown 9o widened at the rear and at both sides near the front of the heel, and the widened Aparts of the flange are provided with the holes 13, which register withthreeof the holes* in the heel-block and tread-plate. that the rivets l2 may be dispensed with in some forms of our invention, as the fastening devices 10 may be exclusively relied upon for It 7o The tread- It is to be noted broader aspect does not necessarily require block into the sole ofthe shoe.
this additional fastening means for fastening the heel and counter-protector to the counter.
It is to be noted that our invention is capable of being used with any form of shoe and eitherin connection with old or new shoes. Thus if the heel of a shoebecomes Worn it is possible to pull off the old heel and to secure to it the heel and counter-proteetor, the treadplate, and heel-block shown herein by simply driving nails through the tread-plate and heel-block and clenching them on the inside of the shoe.
In utilizing our invention in the repair of 01d shoes or in the manufacture of new shoes any of the usual heel-nailing machines may be employed to drive the faste-ning devices through the holes in the tread-plate and heel- This feature We consider of value, as thereby the parts can be applied 'to a shoe as readily as the ordinary leather heels are applied.
By the use of our invention the shoe and heel are rigidlyand securely attached together by means of the fastening devices which pass up through the tread-plate of the heel, the heel-block, and the s ole of the shoe, thus making a strong and durable shoe which will endure much wear and rough use.
Having thus described our'invention, we
claim as new and desire to secure by Letters-
