BOOT-PATTERN'.

Specication of LettersiP'atent No. 5,244, dated August 141847.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, SIMON C. SHIVE, of Bloomsburg, in the county of Columbia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Adjustable Boot-Patterns; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact de.

scription of the construction and operation of the same. reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a top view of the blocking out pattern for the. front of t-he boot. Fig. 2 its respective parts. F ig.I 3 a pattern for the back of the boot. Fig. 4 its respective parts. Fig. 5 the pattern for cutting the front after it has been crimped. Fig. 6 its respective parts.

The nature of my invention consists in combining several plates of metal or other material one with another in such a manner, so, that when thus combined, they will form a boot pattern which can be adjusted at one operation to any required size, by .means of the simultaneous and proportional extension of the several parts.

To enable others skilled in the art tomake and use my invent-ion, I will proceed to describe their construction and operation.

The blocking out pattern for the front (Fig. 1) is composed of five pieces (A, B, C, D, E) represented in (Fig. 2). The piece (E), which I designate the primary plate, is constructed with three rivets cl, f,) sufficient in length to enable them to pass through slots made in the several plates. The plate (A) is placed on the primary plate (E) the rivets (el and b) passing through the slots 3 and 1 cut in the piece (A) respectively. Thev late (B),is put on the plates (A and E) tllioe rivets (b and cl) passing through the slots (2 and 4) of the plate The plateA (C) is laid on the last mentioned pieces (A, B, E) the rivet (a) in the plate (A) passingthrough lthe slot (5) the rivet (cl) passing through the slot (7) and the rivet (f) passing through the slot (9). The remaining plate (D) is then laid 0n the pieces (A, B, 0,) the rivets (b, d, f) passing through the slots (6, 8, and 11,) respectively and the rivet (e) of the plate (C) passing through t-he slot (10)- in this last mentioned plate. Thev different rivets are then headed to keep the plates from falling apart. .The center rivet (d) Iin (Fig.' 6)

i has a. nut or screw z' attached; to it to fasten the pattern to the regulated size. f

, The operation of this patternisv as follows. The operator takes hold ofthe side plates (C and D) vimmediatelybelow the slots (5 and 6) anddraws themrout Which causes the simultaneous and proportional eX- tensions of the other parts by means of the` rivets and slots above referredto which er1" ables him to obtain any required size pattern the same being indicated by the straight edge of the plate (C) immediately over the scale of numbers F impressed on the primary plate E.

'I "he pattern for the back of the boot (Fig. 3) 1s composed of the same number of pieces as the blocking out pattern and represented in Fig. (4). l

The plate (E) is constructed similarly in all vrespects to the primary piece (E, Fig. (2). The rivets of the plate E (e` and pass through the slot-s (1 and 2) of the plate` (A) respectively. The plate is laid `on .l

the plates (A and E) the rivets (eand f) lpassing through the slots (3 and 4) of the piece (D) of this pattern is laid on the other plates(A, B, C, E) the rivets (c and d) of the plate (B) passing through the slots (8 and 12) the rivets (e, fand d) on the pri-v mary plate (E) passing through the slots (7, 11 and 15) and the rivet (L) in the plat-e C) passing through vthe slot (14). The` rivets are then headed as in the other paty tern and for the same purpose. A similar vscrew (z') Fig. 3 is attached to the rivet (f) to faste-nthe pattern to the required size.

The operation is precisely in all respect-s` like the blocking out pattern (Fig. 1).

The pattern for cut-ting t-he front of the-i` boot after'being crimped (Fig. 5) is composed of four parts (A, B, C, D) represented plate (C) t-he rivets (d andre) of which pass through the slots (7 and 8) of the plate D. y

vThe platev(B) is then laid on the plates D and C) "the rivets (d and e) of the plate (C) passing through the-slots (5 and 6) of theV plate (B). The last plate A) is laidon the plate (B) the rivets (c and d) of the` The plate (D) is laid on the `r plate (C) passing through the slots (l and 4) and the rivets (a and b) of the plate (B) passinv through the slots (E2 and 3) of the plate The rivets are then headed as in the other patterns and a similar screw or nut used in the other patterns for fasten*- ing is attached to the rivet.

The operation in adjusting this pattern is as follows: The operator by taking hold of the plates (D and B) at the point (B) (Fig. 5) and drawing them downward causes a proportional extension of the di ferent parts, the upper edge of the piece (D) indicating the instep measure by means of the index F, also the measure of the ball of the foot by means of the index Gr while the edge (i) of the piece (B) Vindicates the heel measure. The plate (B) and plate (A) regulating the draft to suit the required size. The length of the boot is regulated by the index (H) in plate (D).

Having thus fully described my inven-` ytion, what I claim as new and desire to secure by 'Letters Patent, is-

The adjustable character of the patterns at one operation, or in other words, the smultaneous and proportional extension of the several parts composing them, arranged in the manner and for the purposelherein set forth. SIMON C; SHIVE.` )Vitnessesz "O. C. KAHLER, y JACOB B. BEIDELMAN.
