CUSHION 'FOR SHOES.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 23, 1908.
Application filed July 20,1906. Serial No. 227,079.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM A. PREBLE, a
. citizen of the United States,residi ng at Fall River, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Cushion for Shoes, of which the following is a specification. A Y
This invention relates to that class of cushions arranged to be placed within a boot, shoe or the like for supporting the heel.
The rincipal object is to provide an exceeding y simple article of manufacture of the above character that can be cheaply manufactured, and readily placed in 'osition, said article constituting a yielding iut sufficiently firm heel pad that will relieve the wearer from shocks and jars, 'and-willwcau'se no discomfort due to the stiffness of parts or to g lile means for fastening the pad in place.
e trated 1n the in v 4 Figure 1 is an edge view of the ad, a ortion of a shoe being indicated in otted 1nes in order to show the in the shoe. sectionalflview through the structure. Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view therethrough. Fig. 4 is a top lan view With the top or cover sheet removed. F
accompanying drawings, where- Similar reference numerals designate correspo riding parts in. all the figures of the drawings. Y
In the embodiment-illustrated, a is employed, consisting of a centra element 5,. preferably formed of spongerubber and-surrounded bya. retainin yielding pad element 6 of felt orli'ke' suita le material. The felt is of less thickness thanthe structed of a single piece of material, having a central portion cutout to receive the sponge rubber 5,'as clearly shown in Fig.-.4.' The pad bodythus constructed is covered by a sheet 7 offlexible material, preferably to A of leather, and a bottom sheet. 8 extends bee neath the body, and is also preferably formed of flexible leather. The marginal portions of the sheets are connected by a line of stitching -9,'which alsopasses' through themarginal portions of the felt-retaining pad element 6.
. It will be observed by reference to Figs.
.- 1 and 2 that the bottom sheet 8 extends beyond the front edge of the pad body, forming a tab 10 through which a fastener,'as 11, is
referred form of. construction is illus-' position of the padwhen Fig. 2 1s a vertical longitudinal 8d body cushion This felt is preferablycon of the pad portion, forming a tab 12, which is preferably longer than the tab' 10, and extends thereover, and consequently over the head of the fastener 11 driven through the tab 10. t
It will be apparent that the pad can be very cheaply manufactured, and readily placed in position, inasmuch as it is only necessary to introduce the pad into the heel of the shoe and drive the fastener 11 through the lower tab 10.
cushion that relieves the wearer of the ordinary shocks and jars; The peculiar arrangement of parts ermits the employment of soft leather, so that the resiliency of the pad body is not lost. The rubber center is made a little thicker than the felt .body, in order to keep the p make it more elastic, while the-felt regulates theresiliency of the rubber and serves to insure a firmness thereto, while not materially interferingwith its resiliency. The stitchingv preserves the shape of the body, and prevents the parts, becoming displacedQ The means for holding the pad in lace is extremely simple, and the upper ta which extends ove'r theplower tab, protects the foot ,of the wearer from the head of the fastener.
From the foregoing, it is thought that the ad'from matting and to At the same time, the ad 'constitutes a firm, but sufficiently yiel ing construction, operation, and many advantages'of the herein-described invention, will out rther description, and it will be under.- stoodthat various changes in the'size, shape,
be apparent to those skilled the art, withproportion, and minor details of'construc-. tion, may
be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrifieing any of theadvantages o the invention.
Having thus fully describedmy invention; whatI claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is 7 1. A pad of the character described, comprising a yielding marginalretaining element aving an intermediate 0 ening therethrough, a cushion element ocated in the intermediate opening and surrounded by the retaining element, .top and bottom sheets entirely covering the opposite sides of both the cushion and margmal elements, and fastening means securing the var ious margins of .the sheets together and passin element, I
2. In a device of the character described, a central cushion element of sponge rubber, a retaining pad element of felt surrounding and of less thickness than the cushion ele ment, said cushion element projecting above the upper surface of the pad element, top
a pad body, top and bottom sheets extending respectively over and beneath the same and projecting beyond one edge thereof, forming a lower fastener engaged tab, and an upper protective tab that extendsover the lower tab.
4. In a device of. the character described, apad body, flexible top and. bottom sheets extending res ectivelyover and beneath the pad body an projecting beyond one edge thereof, forming a lower fastener receiving,
tab and an upper protective tab that extends over the lower tab and beyond the outer edge thereof, and fastening means securing the margins "of the sheets together directly adjacent to thetabs and passing throu h thepad body. j
5. n a device'fof the character described,
a pad body comprising a central cushion element of s onge rubber, al'retaining pad element of fe t surrounding and of less thick ne'ss than the cushion element, flexible leather "sheets extending respectively over and beneath the elements and projecting beyond one edge of the body formed thereby, the projecting portion of the lower sheet constituting a fastener-engaged tab, the pro- {)ecting portion .of the upper sheet extending eyond the lower sheet and covering the tab, and stitching. extending through the marginal portions of the sheets and the retaining pad element.
In testimony,that I claim, the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
