Year: 1884

page_text: We GEORGE MOOR BROWN of 96 Loampit Vale, Lewisham in the County of
Kent, Boot Maker, and WILLIAM GEORGE JONES of 236 High Street Shoreditch
in the County of Middlesex Caterer do hereby declare the nature of our said
Invention for AN IMPROVED CONSTRUCTION OR ARRANGEMENT OF PEDESTAL WITH
UNIVERSAL ACTION FOR USE BY BOOT AND SHOE MAKERS AND REPAIRERS" to be
as follows:
"
The object of this Invention is the construction and arrangement of a pedestal
for use by Bootmakers, Shoemakers and repairers, by which every required motion
and position that it may be necessary for a workman to put a boot or shoe into
while "lasting up," soleing, heeling repairing or in any way operating upon it
may be gained.
The pedestal is constructed in parts and so joined, articulated or arranged that
one or other of the parts can be shifted and the boot or shoe on the last be set at
the required position to suit the operation the workman has to perform.
The base of the pedestal is hollow for the reception of a stem which can be
adjusted and set to height by a pinch screw. The upper part of this stem has a
leg hinged to it and provided with a tightening screw so that the leg can be set at
any angle. The leg is socketed and receives an extension piece provided with an
annular groove into which a pin of the socket engages to hold it thereto said pin
being removable if desired.
The extension piece is tapered at its upper end and shaped to receive the last
upon which the boot or shoe may be placed or removed at will.
The Invention is applicable for sewing, pegging, rivetting or other method of
making up or finishing boots and shoes.

in the County of Middlesex Caterer, do hereby declare the nature of our said
invention for "AN IMPROVED CONSTRUCTION OR ARRANGEMENT OF PEDESTAL WITH
UNIVERSAL ACTION FOR USE BY BOOT AND SHOE MAKERS AND REPAIRERS," and
in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:—
The object of this invention is the construction and arrangement of a pedestal
for use by bootmakers, shoemakers, and repairers, by which every required motion
and position that it may be necessary for a workman to put a boot or shoe into
while "lasting up," soleing, heeling, repairing or in any way operating upon it,
may be gained.
The pedestal is constructed in parts and so joined, articulated, or arranged that
one or other of the parts can be shifted and the boot or shoe on the last be set at
the required position to suit the operation the workman has to perform.
Our invention is clearly shown in the annexed sheet of drawings with the
moveable parts fixed in several of the positions they may be set into.
The base of the pedestal A is affixed to a table or bench and is hollow for the
reception of the stem B which can be adjusted and be then set to height by the
pinch screw C. The upper part of the stem B has a leg D hinged to it and is
provided with a tightening screw E so that the leg D can be set at any angle:
The leg D is socketed and receives an extension piece F provided with an
annular groove shown at Figure 1 into which a pin G of the socket engages to hold
it thereto, said pin G is removeable if desired. The extension piece F is tapered
at its upper end and is shaped to receive the last H upon which the boot or shee
may be placed or removed at will.
The invention is applicable for sewing, pegging, rivetting, or öther method of
making up or finishing boots and shoes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is
The articulated pedestal shown on the annexed drawings with means of adjusting
any or every limb of it and appliances for setting the same at any desired angle
as and for the purpose or purposes hereiñbefore described.
