G. W. OWEN. DETACHABLE HEEL run SHOES AND 5001s.
APPLICATION FILED OCT. 4, I920.
Patented D80- 13, 1921.
gvwentoz Georgew Owe UNITED STATES GEORGE W. OWEN, OF
To ail whom it may concern:
Beit known that I, GEORGE W. OWEN, a
provide a detachable heel for shoes and boots,
which shall bev light, durable, inexpensive, and the separable body of which shall be readily detachable for renewal of the lower wear portion or for replacement by a new body portion. This heel is an improvement on that disclosed in my application No. seiner, filed March 11,1920.
Referring to the accompanying drawings which are made a part hereof and on which similar reference characters indicate similar parts,
Figure 1 is a perspective of the heel which is the subject of my invention,
Fig. 2 a vertical section of a heel and a part of the shoe to which it is attached,
Fig. 3 shows the under side of the heel plate, and
Fig. 4 a perspective of the body member.
In the drawings 1 represents the body member of the heel and 2 a plate adapted to be attached to the sole 3 of a shoe orboot by means of bent-up portions 4 of the plate, or other equivalent devices, 5 indicates a nail of which a plurality may be driven through holes 6 in plate 2 for greater security. The body 1 is made hollow at the top and bottom for the sake of lightness and also for economy of material, and is preferably formed of aluminum, this material being light and strong.
A partition 7 separates the upper and lower cavities and pieces of leather 8 and 9 are placed in the lower cavity and constitute substantially a single block. These pieces fit closely in the cavity and are united to the body and to each other by glue or cement. A rubber or leather lift 10 is attached to the bottom of the heel by nails 11 driven into the block consisting of parts 8 and 9.
To the under side of plate 2 a hexagonal block 12 is afiixed bv rivets 13 or otherwise, or it may be integral therewith. This block has a screw threaded extension in which engages a screw ltthat extends through partition 7 and blocks 8 and 9. An eyelet 17 Specification of Letters Patent.

DETACHABLE HEEL FOR SI-IOESAND BOOTS.
Patented Dec. 13, 1921.
Application filed October 4, 1920.- Serial No. 414,533.
may be set into the perforation in the blocks as a reinforcement to support the head of the screw.
Theblocl; 12 has two opposed long sides and pointed ends and the body 1 has its upper portion hollowed out as shown, so that its forward edge 15 tapers to a knife-edge, and the upper portions at the sides and back are as thin, or thinner than the same parts lower down. A close fit of the upper edges of the metal a ainst the leather sole is thus insured, while economy is also had in the use of the metal. Internal ridges 16 angular to corre spond to theangular ends of block 12 are left standing in the hollow upper portion of the heel-body and these ridges and the ends of block 12 are each preferably inclined so that the screw 14 will tend to draw them into close-fitting engagement in spite of slight irregularities. The upper hollowed part in which plate 2 sits may be deep enough to allow the edges of the heel to be forced slightly into the leather if necessary to secure a tight fit between block 12 and ridges 1-6.
The block 12 and the body member may be formed in a very economical manner, by die casting, to which the shape is well adapted, but I do not limit myself in this regard.
While I have shown a preferred form of my invention I do not limit myself thereto, as various changes falling within the scope of my invention will occur to those skilled in the art. The true scope of the invention is shown by the appended claims.
Having thus fully described my said invention, what I claimv as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
1.'In a heel, a plate, a metallic member attached thereto having inclined edges at its ends, and having a screw threaded lug, a hollow metallic body member having ridges within the shell and protected thereby to engage said inclined edges and means to hold the body to the plate, substantially as set forth.
2. In a heel, a detachable body member comprising a hollow shell open at both ends and having a spreading upper portion and upstanding transverse ridges in said portion spaced from and concealed by the upper part of the shell, a side face of each ridge being adapted to engage a similar side face of a part attached to the sole to prevent relative rotation, substantially asset forth.
3. In a heel structure, a plate for attachment to a sole and having a projection de pending therefrom, the projection having inclined sides to produce a downwardly tapering formation, a body member comprisin a shell, said shell havinga thin upper e ge closely fitting against the sole, ridges within the outline of the shell having inclined sides to correspond to the sides of the projection: on the plate, and meansto hold the body to the plate, substantially as set forth. '4. A French hee-l'comprising a plate attachable to a sole and having deep transverse faces and a long threaded lug, a shell having edges adapted to engage a shoe sole,
. transverse ridges in'the shell spaced from its partitionnear its lower extremity and up- 7 5. In a heel'structure, a plate to be fastened to a sole and having integral points projecting therefrom and also having openlugs for nails, a hexagonal member fixed thereto having two opposed long sides said member having its shorter sides inclined to produce a downwardly'tapering formation and havinga screw-threaded socket portion depending therefrom,.a body member con-' sisting of a hollow shell having a transverse standing ridges near the front and rear in its upper portion, said ridges bent to conform to the endsof the hexagonal member, and inclined to conform to theinclined surfaces thereof, and Vmeans for holding the body member to the plate, substantially as set f0-rth.- V c r v 6. In a heel structure, a plate to be fastened to a sole andhaving integral points projecting therefrom and also having openings for nails, a hexagonal member fixed "thereto having two opposed long sides, having its shorter sides inclined to produce a downward taper, and having a screw-' threaded socket portion, depending there from, a body member consisting of'a hollow shell having a transverse partition near its 10 W61 extremity and U. )Stfll'ldlll ridaesnear' front and rear Of u 3 61 OI'tlOIl Sttld ridges bent to conform to the ends of the hexagonal member, and inclined to conform to the beveled surfaces thereof, a perforated block'fitting in the lower cavity of the shell and cemented thereto, an eyelet in the perforation, a screw passing through the eyelet and a perforation in the partition and en fgaging the screw threaded socket, and a lift 'xed to the block, substantially asset forth.
Inswitness' whereof, I have hereunto set my hand andseal at Indianapolis, Indiana,
