s'PECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.
711,025, dated October 14:, 1902.
Application filed October 2, 1899. Serial No. 732,293. -(N0 model.)
"1'11 (1/37 whom it may concern:
Be it known that LABEL D. TYLER, Jr., a citizen of the United States,residing at Brockton, in the county of Plymouth and State of Massachusetts,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tree-Feet, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
Figure l is a side elevation of my new treefoot, and Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view taken at line 2 2 of Fig. 1 and looking down.
The object of my invention is to produce and my invention comprises a tree -fo0t-, shoe-form, or last which will not only short-en when its heel part is swung upward and forward, but which will also lengthen or shorten in the direction of the length of the last when the bottoms of the fore part and heel part are in alinement. Such a foot, form, or last will fit 'two or more sizes of foot-gear; and my invention, most broadly considered, consists in the combination hereinafter'described and claimed.
In the drawings illustrating the principle of my invention, A is the fore part, and B the heel part, of one form of transversely-divided last. The fore part and heel part are hinged together in this preferred form by two parallel hinges D D, the opposite tangs or leaves of which are mounted in the opposite sockets Ct and b, in opposed end walls of the fore part and heel part, respectively. The hinges have an endwise-sliding motion in one or the other of the parts of the foot--in this instance in the pockets Ct a of the fore part, wherein they are confined by the pins a through slots 61 of the hinge-tangs. In this instance the hinge-tangs in the heel part are firmly secured in place by the pins (1. The hinges are in substantial parallelism with the bottom of the fore part and heel part when the latter are in alinement, and the pintles d of the hinges extend crosswise of the last, be tipped upwardly so that the fore part may and downwardly (within the limits of their movements) in relationto the heel part or the heel part be tipped upwardly and forwardly in relation to the fore part in order to shorten the foot or last for removal of the same from the boot or shoe. The upward movements of the heel part and fore part one in relation to another depend upon the width or extent of the usual V-shaped opening above the hinging mechanism. The downward or bottomward movements of said parts one in relation to another are limited by abutment of one hinge member upon the other when the fore part and heel part are in alinement. To hold the fore part and heel part at desired distances apart when in working position, I interpose a spring F, preferably a spiral spring, between the opposed ends of the fore part and heel part in the horizontal plane of the hinging mechanism. The ends of the spring are socketed at f and f of the fore part and heel part, respectively, the end portions of the spring bending transversely when the fore part or heel part is lifted and exerting its force lengthwise to keep the fore part and heel partat a distance apart.
Any suitable hinge or hinge mechanism and any suitable distending mechanism or device maybe used without departure from my invention.
That I claim is- The combination of a fore part; a heel part; a transversely-bending hinging device connecting said parts; and a spring mounted between said parts and socketed at one end in the fore part and at the other end in the heel part,and bending transversely and yielding lengthwise.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
