Clog rons.
We, ROBINSON HARKER, of 34, Barracks Road, Burnley, in the County of
Lancaster, Labourer, and JOHN VEALE, of 32, Raglan Road, Burnley aforesaid,
Weaver, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention is designed to render clog irons less liable to come off the clog,
and to wear longer than those of the usual construction.
I form the irons void of the usual holes through the wearing surface, for securing
them to the sole or heel of the clog; and in lieu thereof, I provide them with
suitable lugs or lips on the exterior of the iron, which are struck up around the
sides of the sole or heel of the clog, and secured thereto by screws or nails, which
pass through holes in the lugs.
Where convenient, the lugs may be formed on the inner part of the irons, and
attached in a similar manner.
Dated this 20th day of May 1896.

We, ROBINSON HARKER, of 34, Barracks Road, Burnley, in the County of
Lancaster, Labourer, and JOHN VEALE of 32, Raglan Road, Burnley aforesaid,
Weaver, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
This invention is designed to render clog irons less liable to come off the clog,
and to wear longer than those of the usual construction.
We form the irons void of the usual holes through the wearing surface, for
securing them to the sole or heel of the clog; and in lieu thereof, we provide them
with suitable lugs or lips on the exterior of the irons, which are struck up around
the sides of the sole or heel of the clog, and secured thereto by screws or nails,
which pass through holes in the lugs.
Where convenient, the lugs may be formed on the inner part of the irons, and
attached in a similar manner.
In the accompanying drawings,
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a clog iron for the sole constructed in
accordance with our invention.
Fig. 2 is a similar view of a heel iron.
These irons may be made of rolled wrought iron, or in cast malleable, but
preferably the latter.

page_text: The sole iron is provided with lugs B projecting at right angles to the body of
the iron, for securing to the sides of the clog sole, also with a lug C level with
the toe, and with taper lugs D at the shank, which may be fixed to the bottom of
the clog sole by screws or nails.
The heel iron as represented in Fig. 2 is formed with a back lug E
struck against the side of the heel, and two lugs F struck against the front of
the beel.
The respective lugs are bored with holes as illustrated, and are secured to the
clog by screws or nails.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :-
1. The improved construction of clog irons, substantially as described, and shewn
in Figs. 1 and 2.
2. Providing clog irons with a lug or lugs substantially as shewn and described
for the purpose set forth.
