JOSEPH STERN, 0F PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
ARCH-SUPPORTER FOR BOOTS AND SHOES.
Application filed September 6, 1910.
To all whom it may concern.'
Be it known that I, JOSEPH STERN, a citi- Zen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Arch- Supporters for Boots and Shoes, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in arch supporters for boots and shoes, the object of the invention being to provide a supporter of this character which may be made to fit any size of shoe, which will support the arch of a foot in its normal position, and which is elastic to allow for movements of the foot and render the device comfortable to the user.
A further object is to provide a device of this character which is especially designed for use by flat footed people to strengthen the arch and to render the shoe comfortable to the user.
IVith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations and arrangements vof parts, as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings: Figure l, is a view in longitudinal section on the line 1 1 of Fig. 2. Fig. 2, is an inverted plan view. Fig. 3, is a view in section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 4, is a view in section on the line 4 4 of Fig. 2.
My improved arch supporter comprises a plate 1 of spring metal having a covering 2 of leather or other suitable material secured on the upper face of plate l by rivets 3. The plate l, and the cover 2, conform in general outline to the interior lines of a shoe, and the normal shape of the bottom of a perfect foot, said leather covering 2 being preferably larger throughout, overlapping the edges of the metal plate l, and preventing any contacting of the metal with the foot.
The arched portion 4 of the supporter is provided with longitudinal parallel slits 5, the metal between said slits bowed downwardly and forming springs 6 integral with Copies of this patent may be obtained for ve cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents,-
Speciicaton of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 15, 1911.
Serial No. 580,710.
the metal plate and greatly increasing the elasticity and flexibility ofthe same, causing thel plate to return to normal position, but allowing it the maximum of elasticity so as to render the device comfortable to the user.
It is to be understood that the springs 6 do not touch the sole of the shoe, and are in no sense supports for the `arch of plate l, but merely increase the flexibility of the plate to add to the comfort of the user and enable the device to more perfectly perform its functions as a supporter for flat footed people.
Various slight changes might be made in the general form and arrangement of parts described without departing from my invention, and hence I do not limit myself to the precise details set forth, but consider myself at liberty to make such changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claim.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A device of the character described, comprising a spring metal plate conforming in outline to the general interior outline of a shoe at the heel and instep, a leather covering on the upper face of the plate conforming to the outline of the plate and extending over the edges of the plate to snugly hold the support in a shoe, said plate having a compound longitudinal curve, the same curving downward for a short distance from its rear end and then upward and again downward in a long graceful curve forming the arch, said arch having longitudinal parallel slits therein, and the metal between said slits bowed downward and curved in a direction opposite to the curvature of the arch, forming a pair of longitudinally disposed springs, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
JOSEPH STERN.
