parts become so intimately applied to

MR. JOHN. STEDMaN’s (HORTON KIRBY, 
i KENT), for a Patten and Clog. 
. The bottom, or sole part of the cleg, 
‘is divided into two or three parts, or 
pieces ; and figures annexed to the ori- 
ginal specification exhibit the clog thus 
divided. The clog is made of cork, 
wood, or any material, But Mr. S, 
claims the exclusive: right of using cerk, 
as being a new manufacture for clogs or 
pattens, either with or without the new- 
invented. principle, as is here described. 
.Yo the fore part ave. fixed the ties, or a 
piece or covering of the shoe, which 
may be made agreeably to the taste of 
the maker or wearer. To, the hind part 
round the heel. is put.a piece ef stiff lea- 
ther, or thin plate-iron, or tin; it may 
he either nailed, screwed, or sewed on, 
as shall be found most convenient. This 
piece of leather, or tin, stands up abyut 
three quarters of an inch, but it must be 
regulated according to the heel of the 
shoe which it is intended to receive, or 
encompass, ‘This piece, when made of 
iron or tin, must be covered or lined 
-with leather, or some soft material, to 
prevent rubbing the shoe or heel. The 
two pieces, or parts, are joined together 
iby a hinge made of any metal. ‘This 
-hinge is fastened either with screws, 
nails, or rivets. ‘To the under part of 
which is rivetted a spring or springs. 
The clog shauld always be made to fit 
theshoe, sd that when it is ov it should

be straight. There must be nailed or 
screwed.a piece of thin leather along the 
joint, to prevent the wet or dirt getting 
wo the springs, which would impede their 
action. ‘Lhe second mode of joining the 
two parts, and making, the clog act, is by 
fixing a flat spring or springs, bent in a 
curve. One end of tie spring is to be 
screwed or nailed to the fore part, and 
the other end to the hind part of the clog. 
The sole of the clog may be divided inte 
three parts, or pieces, aud the springs 
hinge pat to each joint; or the joint 
bearest the toe may have an hinge of 
metal or leather, without a spring. The 
flat spring, as above described, can be put 
to joim the three pieces together. The 
ties of the clogs may bé fixed on the toe 
or middle-piece, ora tie on each, which 
shall be found most convenient. .The in= 
tent of this invention, and of those springs 
above described, is to prevent the clog 
coming off the foot; to remove the usual 
unpleasant clacking noise; to hinder the 
dirt throwing up;,and- to: facilitate and 
lessen the fatigue of walking on the sole 
part of the clogs. And to make them 
into a /patten, there is put on the’ uns 
der-side, both on the fore. and hind- 
part, a piece of thin plate, dr sheet-iron 
rim ; the depth of this piece of iron must 
be regulated according to the height of 
the patten, from one quarter of an inch 
to two or three. The ends of these pieces 
of iron are riveted together, and theré 
are three or four little pieces turned 
down, with holes made in them, to screw 
or nail the rim to the bottom, or sole 
parts ; within this rim is put a piece of 
cork, nearly to fill it up. This cork is 
fastened by a screw passing through it to 
the bottom, ora screw or two put through 
the rim into the cork, The intent of 
this cork is to strengthen the rim, and to 
prevent its being filled up with dirt. 
‘This rim of sheet-iron may be put to the 
bottom of a common clog if. required; 
in that.casethe rim may be made in one 
piece. . ‘
