PATENT OEEIcE.
SHOE-POLISHING STAND.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 792,150, dated June 13, 1905.
Application filed June 14, 1904- Serial No. 212,470.
To all whom, it may concern:
Be itknown that I, WVILLIAM A. MORTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shoe-Polishing Stands, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in shoe-polishing stands.
The object of my invention is to provide a shoe-polishing stand which is provided with means for firmly engaging and holding the shoe during the polishing operation.
The novel features are hereinafter fully described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate my invention, Figure 1 is a bottom view of the shoe-supporting member and parts connected therewith, the sole of the shoe being shown mounted on the shoe-supporting member and the shank being shown in cross-section at a point coincident with the dotted line a b in Fig. 3. Fig. 2 is a view, partly in side elevation and partly in vertical section, of my shoe-polishing stand. In this View the stationary base is shown. Fig. 3 is a View, partly in side elevation and partly in vertical section, of the shoe-supporting member mounted on a portable base, in which it is adjustable upwardly and downwardly. Fig. 1 is a top View of what is shown in Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a cross-section of the shoe-supporting member and lever, taken in a'plane coinciding with the dotted line 0 d in Fig. 1 and looking toward the shank. cross-section taken on the dotted line a f of Fig. 2.
Similar characters of reference indicate similar parts.
1 is the shoe-supporting member, comprising,preferably,an approximately flat slightlyinclined plate having extending from its under side a shank 2 and provided near its rear end upon opposite sides with upwardly-extending projections 3, adapted to engage the heel of the shoe which is being polished.
Pivotally connected, by means of a vertical pin 4:, to the under side of the member 1 is a rearwardly-extending lever 5, which is provided on one edge with an upwardly-extend Fig. 6 is a ing projection 63, adapted to engage the shoesupporting member 1 by means of a trans verse series of teeth 7, provided on the under side of the member 1 for the purpose of locking the lever 5 in any position to which it may be adjusted. Two shoe-clamping arms 8, extending laterally in opposite directions, are pivotally connected, respectively, to the lever 5 by means of the pins 9 upon opposite sides of the pivotal connection between the said lever and the member 1. The said clamping-arms 8 are slidable lengthwise, respectively, in the U-shaped guiding-plates 10, secured upon the under side near opposite edges, respectively, of the member I. Said. clamping-arms 8 are upwardly turned at their outer ends, respectively, so as to engage and hold opposite edges of the sole 11.
12 denotes the form of a base which is designed to be permanently located. The base 12 comprises a tubular member having a square lengthwise hole, preferably slightly inclined, to receive the squared lower end of the shank 2. The shank 2 is provided with a peripheral shoulder 13, which rests upon the upper end of the base 12. The base 12 is provided with a horizontal flange 14:, adapted to rest upon the upper side of the floor 16, to which it may be secured by means of vertical screws 15, mounted in holes provided therefor in the flange 11.
The portable base 17 (shown in Figs. 3 and 4)comprisesa horizontal, preferably circular, portion 18, having an inclined upwardly-extending post provided in its upper end with a square socket to receive the lower end of the shank 2. Said socket portion of the base is provided with a transverse screw-threaded hole in which is mounted a set-screw 19, the inner end of which is adapted to rest against the shank 2 and secure it in any position to which it may be adjusted in the base 17.
In operating my invention the patron places the shoe to be polished upon the upper side of the member 1 with the heel resting against the projections 3, the lever 5 being disposed in the position shown in solid lines in Fig. 1, in which position the upwardly-extending portions of the arms 8 are at each side, respectively, of the sole, (denoted by 11.) The operator then depresses the rear end of the lever 5, thus disengaging the lip or projec tion 6 from engaging with the teeth 7, after which the lever is swung toward the post 2, or to the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, at which time the lever is released, and, owing to its resilient nature, it will swing upwardly until the projection 6 on the lever passes between the two adjacent teeth 7, thus preventing movement of the lever 5. At this time clamping-arms 8 will firmly engage the sole of the shoe, and thus prevent movement of the patrons foot during the operation of polishing the shoe.v
With my invention both forms of bases 12 and 17 may be employed for oneshoe-suppontingmember. hen it isdesirableto use the shoe-polishing stand in different positions as, for instance, from one side of a barber-chair to another-the shank 2 may beremoved fromthe base 12 and inserted in the portable base 17, which, with the shoe-supporting member and parts connected there with, may then be disposed in any desirable position. For convenience the shank 2 may be raised'or lowered, asdcsired, by first loos ening the screw 19, then adjusting the-shank 2 to the desired position, after which it may be secured in such position bytightening the screw 19against the shank.
Various modifications of my invention may be resorted to without departing from its spirit.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A shoe-polishing stand comprising a shoesupporting member having a series of downwardly-extending teeth on its under side, and having a downwardly-extending shank, a base having a socket adapted to receive the shank, a lever pivoted to the under side of the shoesupporting member and having an upwardlyextending projection adapted to engage the said teeth, that portion of the lever having said projection being resilient vertically, and two shoeclamping arms pivoted respectively at their inner ends to'said lever upon opposite sides of the pivotal connection between the lever and the shoe-supporting member, said arms beingslidably :mounted'andextending in opposite directions ontheshoe-supporting member.
In testimony whereof Iaffix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
