ARCH-SUPPORTER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 2, 1917.
Application filed May 16, 1916. Serial No. 97,928.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES C. STEGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Arch-Supporters, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in arch supporters.
It is one of the principal objects of my invention to provide an arch supporter which not only affords a firm, flexible and comfortable support for the arch of the foot, but which will not squeak when worn.
Another important object of the invention is the provision of means whereby the wearer of the arch supporter may reinforce it himself at any time.
The preferred form of embodiment of my invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, of which Figure 1 is a view of the bottom of my improved arch supporter. Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line a-a of Fig. 1. And Fig. 3 is a plan view of the flexible one-piece strip which completely covers the arch supporter bottom.
Throughout the specification and drawings, similar reference characters denote like parts.
In the embodiment of the invention shown in the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the longitudinal portion, and 2 the side wing of an arch supporter that is preferably constructed of hard leather duly hammered or pressed from a model shaped to the human foot, to give it the desired rigidity. (See Fig. 2.)
Glued or otherwise firmly pasted to the bottom of the arch supporter, to completely cover the latter, is a single strip 3 of soft leather. It is preferred that the strip 3 be glued to the supporter bottom, as by this method of attachment the strip will not.
come loose until the last piece is worn off. Where sewing or stitching is employed as the means of uniting the strip and supporter bottom, the breaking or wearing through of one thread will often cause the whole strip to come off.
The middle portion of the strip 3 below its slit 4:, is not glued to the bottom of the supporter, whereby one or more leather, felt or other pieces such as the piece 5 shown in Figs. 1 and 2, may be inserted through the slit 4 to reinforce the arch support.
The strip 3 being made of one piece of soft leather, will not rub the interior portion of a boot or shoe to produce the squeaking noise that is so often heard when two pieces of hard leather rub togther. Furthermore, the said strip forms with the arch supporter bottom, a cavity whose walls will firmly retain any leather, felt or other reinforcing pieces that may be inserted through the slit 4.
Having described my invention, I claim:
1. A foot arch supporter comprising a piece of hard leather bent to conform to the arch of the human foot, and a single strip of soft leather completely covering the bottom of said hard leather piece, said strip having a central longitudinal slit positioned within the side edges of the device, at such a place that it can be used to modify that portion of the device which lies under the arch, the middle portion of said strip below its slit being secured to the hard leather piece to provide an opening for reinforcing means.
2. A foot arch supporter comprising a piece of hard leather bent to conform to the arch of the human foot, and a single strip of soft leather glued to the bottom of said hard leather piece to completely cover the latter, said strip having a longitudinal slit on a line which approximately coincides with that along which the arch supporter is bent to form its wing portion, the middle part of said strip below its slit being unsecured to said hard leather piece to provide acavity for reinforcing means.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 15th day of May, 1916.
