the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
My invention relates to a metallic revolving lasting and heeling stand to be used
for wood or iron lasts, for lasting uppers, heeling or hammering out bottoms of
boots or shoes.

describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon."
Fig. 1 is a side elevation.
Fig. 2, is a front elevation.
Fig. 3, is a plan of the base plate with the countersunk screw holes.
The revolving stand d is a cast iron disc, which has an upright steel arm fjoined
to the disc on a boss by a pin g and so placed that the arm is movable. A helical
spring c is attached in front of the arm which pushes the said arm falways forward.
About four inches apart from the arm f stands on the same disc another arm,
which is called a rest 6 for the toe of the last a to rest on. When the last a which
has a round hole is stuck on the first arm by a pin h and is lifted upwards, the
helical spring c acts; and by placing the toe of the last a on the second arm or
rest 6 the helical spring c holds the last a firm on the stand, for lasting uppers,
heeling or hammering out bottoms. The disc of the stand d will turn round in a
circle on a pivot i in the base plate e screwed on the bench and will take arms b and f
and boot and last a with it, to bring it in any position, the workman wants it placed.
The rest or arm b can be moved forward or backward and secured by a set screw k
