Improvements in Plugs to Prevent Wood Lasts from Splitting.
I, LINUS RICHTER, of 96 Wellingborough Road, Northampton, in the County
of Northamptonshire, Tool Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in plugs to prevent wood lasts from
splitting when used with lasting jacks for goodyear and all welted work.
The plug consists of a hollow tubing either open on both ends or solid, and the
said tube is provided with a flange on one end and two little spikes underneath the
flange.
The plugs are made of iron or any other metallic substance.
The last is drilled to the required size and the tube end inserted and driven
down, until the flange rests on the last, the two spikes imbedding themselves in the
wood and preventing the plug from turning round, the lasting jack will rest on the
flange, being solid on the tube which will prevent the last from splitting.
