Abstract:

This invention is directed toward providing a shoe tree that is attractive and relatively lightweight, inexpensive, and easy to use. Shoe tree (4, 4') includes an integral molded plastic body (6, 6') and a flat metal spring (8, 8'). Body (6, 6') has a center portion (14, 14') that defines a downwardly facing channel (30, 30') which receives the main portion (15) of spring (8, 8'). Portion (15) is slidably held in place by retainer elements (32) projecting into channel (30, 30') from sidewalls (26) of center portion (14, 14'). Sidewalls (26) have vertical slots (28) to provide flexibility. Center portion (14, 14') connects toe and heel portions (10, 10', 12, 12') of body (6, 6'). One end (16, 16') of spring (8, 8') has a hole (18, 18') and is heat staked onto a peg (38, 38') projecting from center portion (14') in one embodiment and from toe portion (10) in the other embodiment. The other end (20) of spring (8, 8') slides freely into heel portion (12, 12').
