Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 13, 1906.
Application filed September 7, 1905. Serial No. 277,449.
To @ZZ whom it may concern:
i Be it known that I, ALBERT F. BIGFORD, a citizen of theUnited States of America, and a resident of the town of Dunlap, in the county of King and State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shoe-Polishers, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in shoe-polishers, having more particular reference to the type usually employed during the final step to the shoe cleaning and polishing operation, the same consisting of a suitable length of fabric or other suitable flexible material, which is provided with handles adapted to be engaged by the operator.
The primary object of my invention is to provide a device of this character which will be extremely simple, embracing but few parts, and will be eicient in operation and comparatively inexpensive to manufacture.
With the above and other objects in view, as pointed out in the following, the invention consists of the parts, arrangement, and combinations of parts hereinafter described, and succinctly defined in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings, in which like numerals of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views, Figure 1 is a fragmentary view of one end portion of the invention, the handle being removed. Fig. 2 is a similar view with the handle in position. Fig. 3 is a section taken on line 3 3 of Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken longitudinally through a handle with the cloth gripped between its sections. Fig. 5 is a fragmentary plan view of the present invention; and Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the cloth, the same being in position on a shoe for polishing the heel and back thereof.
The polisher consists of a suitable length of fabric l, the edges of which are turned over upon the body portion of the fabric and sewed, thereby forming hems or guides, as 2, at the side edges of the cloth, which guides proj ect from the under or working face of the polisher. The end portions of the polisher are also hemmed, as at 3, which obviously prevents fraying of the fabric and, further, as will be resently explained, serves to prevent displiacement of the handles 4. The
handles are each preferably formed of two longitudinal sections 4, which have their contiguous faces cut out at 5 to form grooves for reception of the side edge hems or guides 2, and these sections are preferably secured together by means of rings 6, which are slipped over the end portions thereof.
In operation the handles are clamped onto the cloth at points adjacent the end portions thereof and, if desirable, can be arranged so as to bear against the hems 3, which'will serve as stops and oppose any movement of lthe handles toward the ends of the fabric.
When the polisher is used as shown in Fig. 6, one of the guides 2 is engaged over the seam 7 of the shoe, and the polisher will therefore be held in proper osition during the polishing operation. yT ese guides also retain the polisher in position when it is being drawn across the toe of the shoe, as is obvious.
In the foregoing I have described the preferred embodiment of my invention. The same can be readily modified, however, without departing from the spirit of my invention as defined in the ,appended claims.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is`
l. A flexible shoe-polisher formed of a length of fabric having a guide along one of its side edge portions, said guide projecting downwardly from the under or working face of the polisher.
2. A shoe-polisher formed of fabric, handles adjacent the end portions thereof, and a guide along one of the side edges of the polisher, said guide projecting from the under or working face of the polisher and secured thereto.
3. A shoe-polisher formed of fabric having its side and end portions hemmed, the hems at the sides of the fabric serving as guides and handles, said handles being formed in sections having their contiguous faces formed with grooves in which the hems at the side edges of the fabric are received.
Signed at Seattle, Washington, this 30th day of August, 1905.
ALBERT F. BIGFORD.
