Specification of Iietters Patent.
" PatentedFeb. 1913.
Application file'd- May 3, 1912. Serial No. 694,940.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, J OHN G. HILLHOUSE, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Sylvester, in the county of Worth and State of Georgia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Arch- Supporters, .of which the following is a specification. p
My present inventionrelates to improvements in'instep arch supporters.
In carryingout this .invention, it is my purpose to provide anaarch supporter of this character which may be secured to a shoe and within the same directly below the instep or arch and which shall be capable of adjustment within such shoe to vary thecurvature of the supporter in order to accommodate arches of varioussizes.
\Vlth the above and other Ob]6CtS in view,
the, invention consists i-n'the construction,
combination and arrangement of partshereinafter' set forth in and-falling within the scope of the appended claims.
' In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification andin which similar'reference characters designate like parts throughout the several views; Figure l is a side elevation of a shoe partly broken away illustrating my invention applied thereto.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a top plan view of a shoe insole formed in accordance with the present invention. Fig. 4 is a detail view of a flexible strip for supporting the arch, and Fig. 5 is a similar'view of a. modified form of strip. 1
Referring to the accompanying drawing in detail and particularly to Figs. 1 to 4: in-
clusive, a shoe is designated at A and as usual is provided with a sole (1. In accordance with the present invention and as an essential part thereof, the inner sur face of the sole a: at the toe. end of the instep arch and immediately adjacent the latter, is provided with an oblique groove 1 and at the opposite end of the instep arch, that is the heel end of'the arch, the sole 1s pr0- vided with a' plurality of transverse grooves 2 located at appropriate distances from one another and designed to cooperate with the groove 1 to hold the arch supported 1n position within the shoe.
Thearch supporter, in the preferred form of the invention, comprises aflexible-strip 3 preferably constructed of leather although any other material flexible qualities may be utilized. This strip as shown has one end cut obliquely as at .4, while its opposite end presents a straight edge 'Ihe oblique edge 4 is adapted to be inserted in the oblique groove 1 within the sole (1, and the straight edge of the supporter is designed for engagement with any one of the grooves 2, whereby the arch sups overhanging'lips 6 designed to overlap the grooves 1 and in the application of the .strip 'to the insole so as to present an unbroken 'or continuous surface to the foot of the wearer of the shoe.
Having thus described my invention,
- what I claim as new, is:
1. In an arch support,-a shoe sole provided with an oblique groove atthe toe end of the instep arch and aplurality' of transverse grooves at the opposite end of such hrclnand a flexible strip provided with an oblique edge and a straight edge engageable in saidoblique and transverse grooves respectively and adjustable therein to vary the cmwatureof such strip to accommodate arches of various sizes.
2. In an arch support, a shoe sole pro: -vided on its inner surface with a plurality of grooves, and a flexible strip engageable in said grooves and provided *With lips adapted to overlap the said grooves, said strip being adjustable in the grooves to vary the curvature of the former to-accommodate arches of various sizes.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
