Abstract
A circular member supports the shoe from which the pin is to be removed such that the high-heel of the shoe extends downwardly along the vertical axis. The circular member is pivotable about the horizontal axis. A grasper, which includes a gap defined by one movable jaw and one fixed jaw, and a rotary handle for closing and opening the gap, grasps the pin. The grasper is moved up and down by a piston and cylinder arrangement. Thus, when the grasper grasps the pin, and the piston and cylinder arrangement moves the grasper in the direction away from the shoe, the pin is removed from the shoe.
Claims8
A portable apparatus for removing the pin from the heel of a lady's shoe, comprising:
- grasping means for grasping said pin;
- moving means for moving such grasping means along a vertical axis in a smooth motion;
- a freely pivotable member including a U-shaped portion for supporting said shoe such that, after the shoe is placed in the support and said pin has been grasped, the application of a force to the pin will cause the support to pivot in response to said force such that the pin and heel are automatically aligned along said vertical axis of said applied force so as to maximize the efficiency of the force being applied to said pin;
- whereby, when said grasping means grasps said pin, and said shoe is supported in said support means, and said arrangement moves said grasping means in a direction away from said shoe along said vertical axis, said pin is removed from said shoe with a smooth motion.
