Description: |
| Walace R Louis - patent attorney
This invention relates to shoe stretchers and particularly to devices of sensitive and accurately adjustable character which may be employed to stretch particular portions of shoes to relieve pressure upon certain portions of the foot.
It is an object of the invention to make a shoe stretcher of the character described which is adapted to remain when set in position to produce a particular stretching effect upon the shoe, so that the stretcher can be adjusted to stretch the shoe to just the amount desired, and left in the shoe until the leather has had time to respond adequately to the stretching effect. It is a further object of the invention to make a device of the character described, in which the amount of pressure communicated to the shoe can be felt by the operator of the stretching device, who in operating the device soon learns just how much pressure to bring to bear to get the desired results without straining the leather unduly.
