SUSAN HALL Patentee 3, Leeds Bridge Leeds in the County of Yorkshire
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENT IN METALLIC
TOE PLATES, HEELPLATES AND TOE PRESERVERS, and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
The first part of my Invention consists of a Toe Plate, which is solid or other-
wise having prongs, either screwed, unscrewed or with a jagged edge, attached for
the purpose of fixing the same to the Toe of Boots and Shoes and formed so as to
fit the underneath part of the Boot Toe. Its application saves the Manufacturer
its size in leather as it is fastened by means of the said prongs into the Middle
Sole of the Boot and the Upper Sole is cut so as to come up close to the Toe Plate
and finish level with it. Or it may be arranged so as to fit on the Top of the
Upper Sole
Second: A Metallic Heelplate, of any shape or design, having prongs attached
either screwed, unscrewed or with a jagged edge by means of the said prongs it is
fastened to the boot. It is also thicker on the outer edge, where it is liable to be
most worn. It will wear much longer than those of the present method which
are fastened by means of Nails or Screws driven through the Heelplates.
:-
Third A Metallic Toe Preserver which is made so as to protect both the Sole
and Upper of Boot Toes of any shape, at the same time, and is fastened to the
Boot Toe by means of prongs which project from the inside of the Toe Preserver.
The Prongs are to be either screwed, unscrewed or with jagged edges. It is in one
piece & fits closely to the Boots.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1st A Metallic Toe Plate with prongs attached.
2nd A Metallic Heelplate with prongs attached.
3rd A Metallic Toe Preserver with prongs arranged so as to cover both the Sole
and Upper of the Boot Toe at the same time.
