HEEL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 752,632, dated February 16, 1904.
Application filed October 3, 1903. Serial No. 175,672. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDMUND DEEBLE TYLER, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at 51 Dundas street, Glasgow, in the county of Lanark, Scotland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heels, ofwhich; the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in heels, being designed with a view to providing a heel in which the part exposed to most wear is adequately protected thereagainst by a detachable wearing-surface combined with the said heel and fixed in position in such a manner as to be readily removable or reversible or secured so as to enable the same to revolve.
The invention comprises in its essential features the construction of a top piece provided with openings through which protrude projections of a material foreign to leather-such as india-rubber, felt, or any other suitable material-the said projections being formed on or attached to a base-plate situated between the main body of the said heel and the top piece in such a manner as to be readily removable therefrom when worn and another substituted therefor if and when desired. The projections may be flush with the wearingsurface of the top piece or be allowed to protrude through the said openings a sufiicient distance to take all the wear, thus preserving intact the main structure of the heel, and when of a yieldingand elastic naturesuch, for instance, as indiarubberthe comfort of the wearer is enhanced, a silent tread insured, and a non-slipping heel obtained. The base-plate is fastened in position by means of rivets, pegs, screws, or the like means passing through the top piece and the said base-plate around the projections thereon, or any other suitable with projections per 86. Fig. 4: is a similar view of the top piece per se. i Fig. 5 is a plan of the'completed heel. Fig. 6 is a plan view of a modification of my invention in which the wearing-surface is made revoluble, and Fig. 7 is a section therethrough on line m y of Fig. 6.
A represents the heel built up in the wellknown manner of numerous lifts B. Between the lift B and the top piece F of the heel there is located a base-plate C, provided with integral projections D, fitting within, so as to protrude through (or otherwise) openings or slots E in the outer edge of the top piece Fin the position and manner shown, so as to preferably take up the wear, or a greater part of the wear, and preserve intact the main structure of the heel.
G Gr, Fig. 5, are rivets, pegs, or the like driven through the tongues F, located between the slots E in the top pieceF for fixing the base-plate and its projections and the said top piece firmly in position on the heel. Where thebase-plate C is made detachable, so as to be renewable when the projections D thereon shall have worn down, it only extends partly into the heel, as shown by the dotted line in Fig. 5, and the lift B may or may not be recessed for its reception and the base-plate fitted therein. When it is desired to renew the base-plate, the rivets G or pegs, which secure the latter in position, are removed, the tongues F of the top piece F lifted, and the worn base-plate and projections removed and another substituted therefor. The projections D, as indicated in Fig. 1, project into or protrude through the openings E, formed in the outer edge of the top piece-F, and it will be observed that they occur at that part of the heel most subject to wear. The said projections are of a different and greater wear-resisting material than the top piece, and when allowed to protrude a little beyond the normal wearing-surface of the heel the wear of the latter is greatly enhanced thereby and the life of the heel' generally prolonged beyond that of heels of ordinary construction.
In the modification illustrated in Figs. 6 and 7 the top piece is formed in two parts F and F, the part F being revoluble about a central axial screw H, together with the base-plate C, carrying the projections D, the part F being stationary and fixed to the front of the heel by means of rivets Gyas shown on Figs. 5 and 6, or additional rivets Gr may, as shown in Figs. 6 and 7 fasten the revolubletop piece F firmly in position until the wear on one part renders the presentation of a fresh and unworn surface necessary, when the rivets G may be removed and the top piece F turned about the axial screw H to present an unworn edge to the outer part of the heel B and the rivets G replaced or when all edges are worn a new top piece, base-plate, and projections substituted for the worn parts readily and with facility.
When the base-plate C and the projections D are made of rubber or like elastic substances and the part of the projections on the baseplate which protrude slightly beyond the surface of the top piece have worn flush therewith, the action of the wearer putting pressure on the heel compresses and squeezes the elastic material of which the said projections are formed a little beyond the face of the top piece as the latter is gradually worn down, and the said elastic material having greater wearing power than the leather or other material of which the top piece is composed the life of the latter is much enhanced thereby.
It will be understood that the same construction applies in the case of small tips or sectional top pieces which are aflixed to the rear part only of a boot-heel as well as to the toes of the soles of boots and shoes.
The construction and arrangement of the parts may be slightly varied without, however, departing from the main lines of the invention.
What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is
1. In a heel for boots and shoes, the combination with a top piece provided at its outer edge with a series of tongues and a series of openings between, of a base-plate of indiarubber provided with projections fitting in said openings, substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. In a heel for boots and shoes, the combination with a circular top piece provided at its circumference with a series of tongues and a series of openings between, of a circular base-plate of india-rubber provided with projections fitting in said openings, and a central stud about which the top piece is revoluble substantially as and for the purposes described.
In testimony whereof Iaffix my signaturein presence of two witnesses.
EDMUND DEEBLE TYLER.
