US Patent:
7346953, Mar 25, 2008
Filed:
Mar 1, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/365544
Inventors:
Michael L. Graves - Spring TX, US
International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:
A device for restoring the appearance of a kiltie and/or tassel on a finished shoe. The device has a two-part shoe tree with a handle to which one end of a clamp is attached. The other end of the clamp is attached to a curved, cushioned shaping element, which fits over the kiltie and/or tassel. A spring-loaded tension rod mounted between the two parts of the shoe tree translates pressure to the shaping element, which applies appropriate pressure directly to the kiltie. An alternate embodiment incorporates a heating layer into the shaping element, with one or more batteries providing power to the heating layer.
