Abstract: An integral sole for a shoe includes a base plate, a stabilizing plate, and a heel member. The base plate is made of a cushioning material and includes a lower surface having a footprint embossing which engages a walking surface providing traction and comfort for the user. The stabilizing plate is horizontally located about and surrounding the footprint embossing and is made of a material which is harder than the material of the base plate. The stabilizing plate also engages the walking surface and includes a bridge portion extending outwardly from a toe and ball portion of the footprint embossing to provide lateral stability for the sole. The heel member is located peripherally about a heel portion of the stabilizing plate. The heel member is made of a material which is harder than the material of the stabilizing plate to provide a firm heel stability for the shoe. Preferably, the toe portion of the footprint embossing includes five separate toe-print areas.

Abstract: An oil reservoir assembly for delivering oil through an oil port in a vertical housing wall of a heavy, clumsy, housed mechanism which must be moved into operating position through a restricted access opening. The oil reservoir assembly is attached to the vertical housing wall in oil delivering disposition relative to the oil port. During positioning of the mechanism the reservoir assembly becomes operably associated with the distal end of an oil supply line. The assembly comprises a casing having a wall with a hole therethrough. The casing defines an oil reservoir chamber and is connected to the vertical wall of the mechanism with the oil reservoir chamber in fluid communication with the oil port. A frusto-conically shaped guidance member is mounted within the chamber in alignment with the hole.
