CORN PAD. APPLICATION FILED JUNE9|- I917.

ANNE BOONE, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
CORN-PAD.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 11, 1917.
Application filed June 9, 1917. Serial No. 173,786.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ANNE BOONE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Richmond, county of Richmond, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Corn-Pad, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to a pad which is adapted to be applied around a corn or other growth on the foot or other part of the body whereby the pressure of the shoe or any other covering will be removed from the affected part, the pad being so designed that it affords the maximum comfort to the user, and can be washed and kept in a sanitary condition without losing any of its cushioning property, and at the same time it is comparatively simple and inexpensive to make.
A more specific object of the invention is the provision of a ring-like pad made by coiling yarn into a plurality of layers according to the thickness desired for the pad, and the layers of the coils and the convo1utions of the coils are bound together by winding one end of the yarn from the center to the circumference and back again a number of times, and both ends of the yarn may be used for binding the pad on the too or other part to which the pad is applied, or, if desired, the pad may be bound in place by the use of adhesive strips.
For a more complete understanding of the invention reference is to be had to the following description and claims taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, which illustrates one embodiment of the invention and wherein similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a foot with a corn pad applied to the little toe thereof;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional View through the toe with the pad bound around the corn thereof; 7 i Figs. 3, 4 and 5 are plan views showing the process of making the pad; and
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a pad showing a different means of binding the pad to the affected part.
Referring to the drawing, A designates a corn pad, which comprises a body formed of yarn which is wound in one or more spiral layers 1 resting one on another, there cated at 5, Fig. 4, and then backwardly over the top of the pad to the center, as indicated by the portion 6, and in this manner the end 3 is wound or coiled around the ringlike body of the pad. The other end 7 of the yarn passes outwardly from the center, as does the free portion of the end 3 after the body is completely bound. These free portions of the yarn form tie strings whereby the pad can be bound around the toe or afilicted part. It will thus be seen that the convolutions and layers are loosely bound together, so that the pad has maximum resiliency or softness. The pad keeps soft indefinitely and may be frequently washed without losing any of its resiliency. The pad compresses into a comparatively small space so that it can be worn without pain in a shoe which would, without the pad, cause considerable pain to the wearer. If desired, the pad may be applied to an afflicted part by using strips of adhesive tape 8, as shown in Fig. 6.
From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, the advantages of the construction and method of operation will be readily understood by those skilled in the art to which the invention appertains, and while I have described the principle of operation, together with the article which I now consider to be the best embodiment thereof, I desire to have it understood that the article shown is merely illustrative and that such changes may be made when desiredas fall within the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Let ters Patent:
1. A pad of the class described comprising a body formed of layers of coils of a single piece of yarn loosely bound together, there being a central opening in the body.
2. A pad of the class described comprising an annular body formed of a single piece of yarn wound into a plurality of spiral layers With the free ends of the yarn passing out from the center of the body to form tie strings.
3. A pad of the class described comprising an annular body formed of a single piece of yarn WOIlIlCl into a plurality of spiral layers with the free ends of the yarn passing out from the center of the body to form tie strings, one end of the yarn being coiled around the body from the center to 10 the periphery to loosely bind the layers together. V i
4. A corn pad comprising an annular body formed solely of a single piece of soft, resilient yarn-like material Wound into a 15 coil, With the convolutions of the coil loosely bound together.
