1, SAMUEL DANIELS of Bramall Lane, Hazel Grove Stockport in the County of
Chester, Joiner, Builder and Contractor 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:-
The improvements which are the subject of this invention relate to the metal pro-
tector which is usually affixed to the underside of soles and heels of form of boots
termed clogs, the same invention being likewise applicable to the soles and heels of
ordinary boots, shoes and similar articles: In this invention the metal boot protectors
that are ordinarily termed clog irons, and also the heel plates, I construct with flanges
that will fit against the edge either of clog or boot sole: These flanges may be formed
in one continuous piece, and follow the same line as the edge of sole, or they may be
made so as to form a varied pattern on edge of sole: The upper inner edge of said
flanges may also be bent so as to fit into a groove formed on edge of sole, or to clip the
upper edge of clog or boot sole. I attach the herein above described sole and heel
plates or protectors to the soles of clogs or boots by means of nails, pins or screws
which are passed through said flanges either in addition to, or without the ordinary
means of attachment by nails to underside of sole: When it is desirable to avoid the
use of nails or screws for the purposes of attaching said metal plates or protectors to
soles or heels of clogs or boots, I form the upper inner edge of flange herein previously.
described so as to fit, or slide into a dovetailed recess on edge of sole.
:
In order more clearly to describe this invention I have annexed hereunto a sheet of
drawings in the several views shown in these drawings, similar letters refer to
similar parts: Fig. 1. is plan and Fig. 2. edge view representing a boot protector or
clog iron, and Figs. 3. and 4. heel plate, in both of which the parts marked a are of
the ordinary forms, but by means of flanges attached thereto, said boot protectors or
clog irons are, or may be secured to sole of clog or boot: In these views, a is that
part of protector which has hitherto been employed, and 6 the flanges formed thereon
which constitute the chief feature of this invention.

page_text: The sole of clog or boot being placed on plate a, the flange or flanges b will clip
the edge of boot sole, and the protector is firmly secured to sole by nails, pins or screws
being passed through holes c, and fixed horizontally in boot solo: by these means tho
protector is connected to solo.of boot by pins or nails which are placed horizontally,
and are thereby prevented from being drawn out by wear, as is the case when placed
vertically through the underside of boot sole: the ordinary holos are marked d: tho
too cape may be formed so as to be strengthened by the gusset pieces e'.
Fig. 5 is plan, Fig. 6 edge view and
Fig. 7 transverse section on the line A. A. representing sole plate or protector a
formed with continuous flange and with the upper inner edge 6 of said flange bent
over to fit on part of sole g which may be either grooved, or cut away as shown:
Fig. 8 shows the flange bent over at 6 so as to connect the protector to solo of boot
without the use of nails or screws: Fig. 9 is a modification of my invention in which
the ordinary sole protector. a is extended and greater wearing surface is obtained by.
means of the extensions a¹..
Fig. 10 shows my invention applied to an ordinary boot or shoe: Fig. 11 shows
front part of herein above described sole protectors formed separately for use as a too
cap or protector.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the naturo of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is,
1st. In combination with metal boot or shoe protectors, such as are ordinarily termed
clog irons, or such as are similary employed for the protection from wear of the soles
and heels of clogs, boots, shoes, and like articles the use of flanges that are formed
on or otherwise attached to said metal protectors so as to fit on or. against or clip the
edges of sole or heel in any clog, boot, or shoe, and secured thereto by nails, pins, or
screws, inserted horizontally through said flanges, substantially as herein before
described and illustrated.
2nd. In combination with metal boot protectors ordinarily termed clog irons the
use of a flange or flanges in ono continuous piece, so as to follow the same line as
edge of sole of a clog or boot, or the formation or use of said flanges in varied
patterns to fit against edge of solo of clog, boot, or shoe, substantially as heroin before
described.
3rd. In combination with metal boot protectors ordinarily termed clog irons, the uso
of continuous flanges with the upper inner edge or edges dovetailed, so as to slip on,
or fit into grooves formed on edge of, sole, in order to attach said metal protectors to
clogs or boots, without requiring the use of pins, nails, or screws, substantially as
herein boforo described and illustrated.
4th. In combination with toe cap and front part of metal boot protectors, ordinarily
termed clog irons, the use of gusset pieces el, as herein before described and the use of
theso front parts by themselves, to serve as toe caps, as illustrated in Fig. 11 on
drawing.
5th. In combination with ordinary metal boot protectors termed clog irons,
.extensions marked a¹ on drawing, or others of similar form.
