LEVI B. HOWVE, OF NEW YORK, AND HENRY WV. SHEPARD, OF BROOKLYN, N. Y., ASSIGNORS TO THE METALLIC HEEL STIFFENING COMPANY, OF
NEW HAVEN, CONN.
COUNTER-SUPPORT FOR BOOTS AND SHOES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 236,705, dated January 18, 1881.
Application filed June 16, 1880. (No model.)
A To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, LEVI B. HOWE, of New York city, in the county and State of New York, and HENRY WV. SHEPARD, of Brooklyn,
in the county of Kings, in said State, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Counter-Supports for Boots and Shoes, of which the following specification is a description.
This invention relates to an improvement particularly applicable to metal counter stays or supports, such as are described and claimed in Reissued Letters Patent No. 9,030, of J anuary 6, 1880; and the invention consists in -5 hanging or turning over the upper edge of a metal stay or support. so as to form a smooth, dull edge or surface that will not out into or deface the counter or lining of a boot or shoe, nor irritate the heel of a person wearing the same, and in corrugating the sides of the support, so as to give greater strength and permit the use of lighter metal.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view, showiugourim provemeuts;
and Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on plane of the line w as, Fig. 1.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both figures.
A designates a metallic counter-support,
having its upper edges, B, flanged outwardly, turned down and pressed against the outer side of the support until it is flush therewith. In practice these edges B are formed by a pair of rollers with bearing-surfaces adapted to 3 5 flange the edge of the support outwardly and turn it down, as described; but any other suitable mechanism to accomplish this result may be used.
O C designate a series of transverse and vertical corrugations in the sides of the support, which may be made in any suitable manner. By forming these corrugations so that part of them run in a transverse and part in a vertical direction they are all at right angles to the edge of the support, therebyincreasing 5 the resisting force of the metal at the poin of greatest strain.
In the metal counter stays or supports heretofore used the sharp upper edges of the support would not only injure the counter or lin- 5o 'ing, or both, but would very often seriously annoy the person wearing the boot or shoe. By this improvement a smooth, dull edge or surface is produced which will not out the lin- LEVI B. HOWE. HENRY W. SHEPARD.
