SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 783,745, dated. February 28, 1905.
Application iilod Julie 9, 1902. Serial No. 110,706.
To r//ZZ 'wil/0m, '1215 may cou/cern.-
Be it known that I, Gaone n F. DUNN, a citizen of the United States, residing' at Brockton, in the county of Plymouth, State of M assachusetts, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Devices for Applying' Sock- Iiinings to Shoes, etc., of which the following is a specification, reference being' had therein to the accompanying drawings.
In the manufacture of shoes what is termed a sock-lining is frequently placed inside the shoe on the sole. This .is done after the upper is secured to the sole, and to place the socklining' properly in position, smoothing it out on the sole around the toe and fore part of the shoe, requires considerable time and care on the part of the operator.
My invention has for its object to provide a simple hand device by the employment of which an operator may quickly picku p a socklining and insert it evenly and smoothly in place inside the shoe.
My invention will be fully understood 'from the following' description, in which reference is made to the accompanying drawings, and the novel features thereof are pointed out and clearly defined in the claims at the close of this specification.
ln the drawings, Figure l is a plan view of a device embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof, showing a sock-lining engaged by the device and ready for insertion in the shoe. Some of the parts are indicated in dotted lines to more clearly show the construction. Fig. 3 is a side elevation with the retaining-points withdrawn, so that they cannot engage the sock-lining.
Having reference to the drawings, 1 designates what may be termed a L foot, which in plan is preferably of the rounded contour shown in F ig. l and is provided with a handle 2, which projects rearwardly and upwardly in an inclined position relatively to the fiat under side of the foot l, as will be clear from Fig. 2. The handle 2 may be cut away centrally, as shown at 3, Fig. l, for greater lightness.
On top of the rear portion of the foot 1 I provide a post fl. To the post 1 is pivoted a lever by means of a pin 6, which passes 50 through the lever and through the post 4. That portion of the lever which is located in front of the post is substantially parallel with the foot 1 in the normal position of the said level'. (Shown in Fig. 2.) The handle or 55 rear portion 7 of the lever 5 projects rear wardly adjacent the handle Q.
A post 8 is provided on the handle 2. The said post passes through a slot 9, Fig. 1, in the handle 7, and between the handle 7 and the 6o handle 2 and surrounding the postS is placed a spiral spring' 10, which spring serves to raise the handle 7 and hold it in its highest position, while at the same time permitting it to be readily depressed and brought into contact 6 5 at its free end with the handle 2 when desired, as shown in Fig. 3.
At the forward end of the lever 5 a slot l1 is formed lengthwise of the said forward end and within the said slot are pivoted the upper 7o ends of two pins 1Q and 13. The pins 12 and 13 respectively project near their free ends through slots lll and 15, Fig. 3, which are formed obliquely through the foot l. llhc said slots guide the said pins and cause them 75 to assume oppositely-inclined positions, the pivoted ends of the pins being set quite closely together within the slot 1l. The pivotal pins 16 and 17 pass through the lever 5 and through eyes formed in the upper ends of the pins 12 Se and 13, respectively, thus serving to secure the latter pins pivotally in place. The free ends of the said pins 12 and lV are sharpened so that they may readily enter the cloth or leather of a sock-lining. 8 5
The foot and its handle and the post Ll are preferably cast integral from light metal, such as aluminium or the like; but if Weight is not objectionable any other metal may be employed. The lever 5 is also preferably 9o cast from the same metal as is employed for the foot and its handle.
ln using the device the operator grasps it by the handle 2, placing' his thumb on the end of the handle 7, and by the pressure of his 95 thumb depresses the said handle so as to raise the pins 12 and 13 and withdraw their points into the slots 14 and 15 in the foot 1. With the device held in this position he places the foot 1 in firm contact with the uppermost of a pile of sock-linings and removes his thumb from the handle 7, thereby permitting the spring 10 to throw up the handle 7, and thus project the points of the pins 12 and 13 inopposite direction into the sock-lining with which the foot is broughtin contact. Thereby the said sock-lining is secured to the foot 1, as in Fig. 2, in which figure a sock-lining is shown at 19. He then introduces into the shoe the implement with the sock-lining 19 attached thereto, carrying the foot and socklining forward into position inside the fore part of the shoe. He then again depresses the handle 7, thereby withdrawing the pins 12 and 13 from the sock-lining and .raising their points into the slots 14C and 15 in the foot. This releases the sock-lining. The sole or lowersurface of the foot 1, which is smooth and at, may then be employed to smooth out and accurately lay the edges of the sock-lining around the fore part of the shoe. When this has been effected, the device is withdrawn from the shoe andthe operation repeated Jfor another shoe.
I/Vhat I claim isl 1. A portable hand implement for introducing sock-linings into shoes, &c., comprising essentially a su pporting-handle, a foot with which said handle is provided, means in connectionwith said foot to engage and hold the forward portion of a sock-lining for introduction into the shoe, and means provided with a manually-actuated` operating-handle located adjacent the said supporting-handle for freeing the said forward portion of the sock-lining from the said holding means, substantially as described.
2. A device for inserting sock-linings having a foot provided with pins working in oppositely-inclined directions for engaging' with a sock-lining, and means for withdrawing said pins to free the sock-lining after it has been inserted in the shoe, substantially as described.
3. A device for inserting and. smoothing out sock-linings provided with a foot having oppositely-inclined guide-slots, a lever, and pins pivotally connected with said lever and projecting into the guide-slots in said foot, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I aiiiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
GEORGE F. DUNN.
