PATENT OFFICE.
ADOLPI-I HEPNER, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.
COMBINED SHOE-HORNAND SHOE-REMOVER.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 732,854, dated July '7, 1903.
Application filed October 29, 1902. Serial No. 129.316. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ADOLPH HEPNER, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Louis,
State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Shoc- Horn and Shoe-Remover, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.
My invention has relation to improvements in combined shoe-horns and shoe-removers; g and 1t consists in the novel construction of ing the same.
f ping on the shoe.
parts more fully set forth in the specification and pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of my device, showing a person apply- Fig. 2 is a rear elevation thereof, showing its application in the act of removingan overshoe. Fig. 3 is a middle vertical section on line 3 3 of Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a front elevation thereof corresponding to the position shown in Fig. 1, that is, for slip- Fig. 5 is a side View of Fig. 2, a portion of the counter or heel portion of the upper being removed; andFig. 6 is a cross-section on line 6 6 of Fig. 4.
Theobject of my invention is to construct a device which shall not only facilitate the putting on of overshoes, but shall serve the purpose of removing the same, as will more fully hereinafter appear.
In detail the invention may be described as follows:
Referring to the drawings, 1 represents the body portion of thehorn, the same being outwardly convex and terminating in a lower extension 2 of the form of a semicylinder and an upper stem 3. The base of the concavity constituting the portion 2 is substan tially parallel to the axis of the stem 3 and to the handle-bar 4, carried by it, as best seen in Figs. 1 and 3, the parallelism being for a purpose presently to appear. The lower edge of the portion 2 is provided with a central tooth or projection 5, bounded on either side by alobe 6, and the body portion 1 is a welldefined depression or pocket 7 for the initial thereof may be well spread apart to facilitate the insertion of the heel of the shoe, Fig. 1.
In operating the device the person putting on the overshoe first inserts the lower end of the horn into the overshoe, with the horn against the counter or heel portion thereof, forcing the tooth 5 and lobes 6 against the bottom of the overshoe S, direct pressure thereupon being assured by reason of the parallelism of the portion 2 and the handle-bar 4, whereupon the overshoe S is given a slight tilt or inclination and the toe of the wearer is initiallyinserted into the overshoe, the heel resting in the depression 7, when, as seen in Fig. 1, the slipping on of the shoe S is a matter of only a fraction of a second. To remove the overshoe, the device is brought against the upper edge of the counter or heel thereof, the tooth 5 being inserted along the inner wall of said counter, whereupon the lobes 6 on either side span the outer wall of the counter, Figs. 2, 5, thus holding down the overshoe with sufficient firmness to permit the wearer to withdraw his feet out of the shoe.
The present device is not to be confounded with the ordinary shoe-horn, for while it may possess some of the inherent purposes of such horn it possesses functions and advantages different from those of an ordinary horn.
Having described my invention, what I claim is 1. As an article of manufacture, acombined shoe-horn and shoe-remover comprising an outwardly-convex body portion, a lower substantially semicylindrical extension, a cen' tral tooth and bounding lobes disposed along the lower edge of said extension, a pocket forming a continuation of the curved wall of the body portion, a stem at the upper end of the body portion axially parallel with the longitudinal elements of the wall of the lower extension, the lateral edges of the horn being bracing the outer wall of the counter of th substantially parallel for the major portion shoe, substantially as set forth. 7 no of their length, substantially as set forth. In testimony whereof I affix my signature 2. In a shoe-remover, a curved body porin presence of two witnesses.
5 tion, a central tooth along the lower edge ADOLPH HEPNER'.
thereof for insertion along the inner surface Witnesses: of the upper edge of the overshoe, and lobes EMIL STAREK,
disposed on either side of the tooth for em G. L. BELFRY.
