Suiter Swantz IP takes a look back at past inventions and inventors with our Patent Of The Day.
On this day in 1909, Edward W. Fletcher was granted U.S. Patent No. 915,758 for an ICE CREEPER.
This invention relates to an ice creeper capable of general use for all purposes for which ice creepers ordinarily are employed but especially adapted for the rough usage to which such articles are subjected in the harvesting and loading of ice.
The principal objects of the invention are to provide a light construction of ice creeper which can be secured in a simple and convenient manner to every kind of boot or shoe and which will not depend upon any particular construction of the latter for assisting in holding it in position. Also to provide means whereby the spurs may be removed and replaced; means whereby the same construction can be made to fit shoes or boots of different sizes; and improved means for securing the parts in position.
