UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
LUCIUS A. HINE, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO I-IlNE-WATT MANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, A CORPO- RATION OF ILLINOIS.
SHOE-HOLDER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 4, 1906.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, LUOIUS A. HINE, residing at Chicago, Cook county, Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shoe-Holders, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to shoe-holders generally, but has more particular relation to a Y new and advantageous construction of a toepiece therefor, the object of my invention being to provide a simple and efficient toe-piece capable of ready removal and of readily fitting and adapting itself to right and left shoes and also of imparting a uniform pres sure upon the entire toe and instep of the shoe.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a shoe-holder having my new toepiece thereon; Fig. 2, an elevation of the supporting lever-arm and the toe-piece with one side of the latter cut away; Fig. 3, a view similar to Fig. 2, but with the toe-piece upside down and in position for removal; Fig. I, a sectional elevation on the line 4 of Fig. 2; Fig. 5, a bottom plan of the toe-piece detached, and Fig. 6 an elevation of the extreme lower end of the supporting lever-arm.
The general construction of the shoeholder forms no part of my present invention, and consequently the same need not be described, except to say that the stationary frame or arm 1 is attached to a bracket on a wall or support and that the movable arm 2 is pivoted to the stationary frame. The lower and forwardly-extending end 3 of the movable arm is adapted to carry or support the toe-piece, which, of course, is designed to enter and support and stretch the toe and instep of a shoe while being shined or polished. The construction of the toe-piece 4, as well as the construction of the extreme end of the lever-arm which supports the toe-piece, is such as to permit of the removal of the toepiece as well as its adjustment both' rotarily and in a vertical plane for purposes hereinafter made apparent. In the present instance the end 3 of the lever-arm is extended upward slightly and provided with a disk 5, which is mutilated near its under side by having the cut-away portion 6, Figs. 2 and 6. This disk has on one side a marginal flange 7 also broken or mutilated near the under side, and has projecting from both sides and axially thereof the two spindles or trunnions 8. The entire lever-arm 2, as well as its lower end as thus described, can be conveniently cast in one piece, although this is not essential.
The lower end of the arm 3 as just described is adapted to cooperate with the toepiece 4, and to this end such toe-piece is of concave form with a substantially elliptical outline and with an end slot 9, through which the arm 3 passes in certain positions of such toe-piece. These toepieces may be of different sizes to better accommodate mens, ladies and childrens shoes, and each toe-piece is curved to correspond substantially to the outline of the toe portion and instep of a shoe. The central portion of the interior of each toe-piece has a bearing comprising the two depending lugs 10, arranged on a longitudinal axis of the toe-piece and receiving between them the disk 5 and also comprising the two lugs 11, arranged substantially on the transverse axis of the toepiece and bearing upon the spindles or trunnions S, Fig. 4. On the transverse axis of the toe-piece and midway between the lugs 10 is arranged an inwardly-projecting lug or pin 12, which is adapted to engage behind the flange 7, whereby the toe-piece will be held to the arm 3 against removal except when in a certain position relative to the arm 3, it being herein designed that the toe-piece is incapable of removal except when swung to inoperative position. By reason of the construction shown the toe-piece is prevented from slipping back and forth longitudinally with respect to its supporting-arm and is also prevented from slipping or rolling laterally, the only movements possible being swinging in a vertical plane with the trunnions S as the axis and also rotating partially with the central point of the toe-piece as the axis, as hereinafter more fully explained.
hen the toe-piece is in operative position on the shoeholde1' device and ready to take a shoe, its pin 12 engages behind the flange 7 of the disk, and while such toe-piece can be readily moved or adjusted in a vertical plane to accommodate itself to the shoe when the lever 2 is being operated to tightly hold such shoe such toe-piece is held to its supportingarm. The toe-piece is, in fact, incapable of removal until it is swung so as to be upside down, as shown in Fig. 3, in such position that the pin 12 is brought to a point opposite the broken-away portion 6 of the disk, whereupon the toe-piece is free to be removed and another toe-piece of different size substituted, if desired. It will be understood that the lugs 11 bear on the spindles or trunnions 8, which consequently form pivot-points for the toe-piece. When it is desired to attach a toepiece, it is first brought to the position shown in Fig. 3, and when turned over it is held attached by the pin 12 engaging the disk, as hereinbefore explained. As illustrated in Fig. 4, the end of the arm 3 is slightly crooked, so as to avoid one of the lugs 10.
The construction and arrangement just described not only provides for the movability of the toe-piece in a vertical plane, as above stated, but also for a partial rotary move-- ment, so as to accommodate itself to right and left shoes. As is evident from the drawings, the lugs 10 do not restrict any rotary movement or adjustment of the toe-piece, and, in fact, the lugs 11 thereof are capable of a sliding movement on the spindles or trunnions 8. The detachability of the toepiece permits of the substitution of different sizes thereof, so as to fit mens, ladies, or childrens shoes, while the adjustment of the toe-piece on its arm or support permits of proper accommodation to right and left shoes and also of proper and uniform pressure over the entire toe and instep of the shoe. Moreover, the construction of toe-piece and its supporting-arm is simple and such that it is held to its arm when in operative position and is capable of removal only when swung to inoperative position.
All side slipping or rolling of the toe-piece, which movement would be objectionable, is prevented by the pin 12 on one side of the diskand by the projection 13 on the other side, Figs. 4 and 5, as well as by the bearing of lugs 11 on spindles 8. In actual practice a hole 14 through the center of the toe-piece is made in casting, into the lower portion of which hole the upper part of the disk projects; but such hole is not essential.
In order that the toe-piece may have freedom of movement to conform to the shape of the front portion or toe of every shoe, the construction and arrangement are such that the toe-piece is capable of a partial rotary motion in a horizontal planethat is, on a vertical axis. The opening 14 in the toepiece is sufliciently large with respect to the disk which projects slightly therein to allow proper amount of play so that the toe-piece may have the desired rotary motion above described. When the toe-piece is thus partially rotated in a horizontal plane, the lugs 11, which are flatthat is, unprovided with any bearing-recessslide upon the pins or trunnions 8 of the disk, on which trunnions they also have a movement in a vertical plane and on a horizontal axis.
I claim 1. In a shoe-holder, the combination, with. a supporting member adapted to enter a of a toe-piece which is free to swing on such disk, and means on the disk and toe-piece cooperating only through a predetermined range of movement to hold the latter to the former and prevent its removal therefrom; substantially as described.
