LAST- Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented. Jan. 22, 1907.
Application filed Novemberl'fi, 1905. Serial No 287,390.
To all, whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALFRED F. SEYMOUR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Campello, in the county of Plymouth and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Last, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improved last for making shoes.
The especial object of this invention is to provide a last having a metal heel-plate supported so as to prevent the last from crushing under the pressure of heel-seating machines or other devices, which now frequently crush and break the ordinary wooden lasts.
To this end this invention consists of a last having a metal heel-plate supported by the bushing which receives the supporting-pin.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side view, partly broken away, of a last constructed according to this invention and of its supporting-pin. Fig. 2 is a fragmentary bottom view thereof. Fig.' 3 is a perspective view of the metal heel-plate and its supporting-bushing, and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the wooden block which is secured in the socket of the heel-plate.
In the lasts which are now used for making shoes sheet-metal heel-plates are employed. These sheet-metal heel-plates are open at their centers to permit a central fasteningtack to be used during lasting. During the operation of heel-seating machines or other special machines a large amount of pressure is put upon the heel part of the last, and as the metal heel-plate of an ordinary last is supported only by the wood it frequently happens that the lasts are crushed or splintered. Each of the ordinary lasts is provided with a metal bushing for the supporting-pin; but the heel-plate and bushing have heretofore been independent, as it was thought necessary to leave sufficient wood at the center of the heel-plate to receive the lasting-tack.
The especial object of my present invention is to provide a last with a heel-plate which is supported directly by its bushing, so that a metal support will be afforded for the heel-plate, allowing the same to serve as an anvilwithout the danger of crushing or breaking the last. To accomplish this object, I preferably make the heel-plate and pin-bushing from a single piece of metal, and in order that the ordinary system of lasting may be used I preferably fasten a small block of wood in a socket near the-center of the heel-plate.
Referring to the accompanying drawings and in detail, a last constructed according to this invention, as herein illustrated, comprises the usual fore part F and heel part H. These parts may be jointed, formed in a single piece, or otherwise connected in ordi nary manners. In the particular construction shown the parts are hinged together by a hinge secured in place by the rivets R. Mounted in the heel part of the last is a metal bushing 10, and supported and preferably formed integrally with the metal bushing 10 is a heel-plate 11. The heel-plate 11 is provided near its center with asocket 12, fastened into which is a wooden block 13 for receiving the lasting-tack. The bushing 10 is held from turning by a transverse pin 15.
A pin 16 which I preferably employ for supporting a last constructed according to this invention is provided with a conical end 17, and the bushing 10 is provided with a corresponding conical socket 18, this construction permitting the last to be more accurately positioned on its supporting-pin than in the ordinary construction in which the end of the pin has no engagement with the bush- 1n 2 Having thus fully described this invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-
As an article of manufacture, a last having a metal heel-plate and an integral projection extending therefrom, said heel-plate and projection being embedded in the heel of the last, said projection having a conical socket, said plate having a recess located opposite said socket, a block of relatively soft material in the recess for receiving the lasting-tack, said projection being solid between the plate and end of said socket, and a fastening-pin eX- tending through said solid portion between ithe socket and recess and into the heel of the ast.
In testimony whereof I hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
ALFRED F. SEYMOUR.
