Specification of LettersiPatent.
Patented Aug. 2, 1921.
Application le'd December 5, 1919. Serial No. 342,710.
To all whom` it may concern.'
` Be it known that I, ABRAHAM POsNER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York,-borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a' new and Imf proved Combined Ankle-Stay and Arch-` Support, of which the following is a full,y
clear, and exact description. Y
The Object of the invention is to provide a new and improved combined ankle stay or brace and arch support for use as an insert in slices, andrarranged to simultaneously hold up thev arch and brace the ankle and to prevent thefoot from moving within the shoe thereby giving the desired comfort to the wearer especially when walking.
Another object is to combine an ankle Vsta-y and arch support into a single unitary structure, which is stronger and more durable than a brace and a support inserted separately in a shoe.
Vit-h these and other objects in view, the
linvention consists of certain novel features of construction, as hereinafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claims. A
A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a sectional side elevation of a shoe provided with the combined ankle stay and arch support, part being broken out;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the combined ankle stay and arch support; and Fig. 3 is a cross section ofthe same. The shoe insert'cornprises essentially an arch support 10 and an ankle stay or brace 11, of which the arch supportrlO is preferably made of a stiff material and comprises a base 12 in the form of aplate, from the inner side of which risesanintegral flange 13 extending from the front end of the base 12 to within a'distance from the back thereof, as plainly indicated in the drawings. The flange 13 is'preferably arched transversely and curved longitudinally to form a firm support for the arch of the wearers vfoot with a view to :hold up the arch and to .prevent the same from falling. The ankle stay 11 is made of a fiexible material and preferably comprises a facing 11 of leather and a lining 15 of canvas, the facing and portion of one lining being .fastened together at their edges and the facing and lining being provided `with a plurality of vertical parallel pockets containing stiffening members 16 of whalebone or the like.- The stay is provided at the back with a cut-away portion approxi- Vmately at the vertical center and extending downward a distance from the top of the stay, as plainly indicated in Figs. 1 and 2.
The stay 11 fits with its lower portion around the back of the base 12 of the ankle support 10 and also along portions of the sides of the said base with the forward lower side fitting against the rear half portion of the flange 13 of the arch support 10. The lower end of the stay 11 is provided with an inwardly extending attaching flange 20, glued, riveted, or otherwise secured to the under side of the base 12 to securely-fasten the arch support and ankle stay together with a view to provide a unitary structure which can be readily inserted into a shoe as plainly indicated in Fig. 1. In practice, the shoe is provided at the inner face of the top with a pocket 25 for receiving the upper end of the stay 11 to permit the user to readily pass the foot into the shoe without disturbing the position of the combined arch support and ankle stay. A covering plate 26 of leather or similar flexible material, is glued or otherwise fastened to the flange 2O and the under side of the rear portion of the plate 12, to assist in holding the flange 20 in place on the plate l and to fit snugly onto the insole of the s oe.
It will be noticed that the combined ankle stay and arch support form a unitary structure which can be readily placed in position in a shoe, and when in use it holds up the arch and presses the ankle of the wearers foot and prevents the latter from moving within the shoe, thereby giving the desired comfort to the wearer especially when walking.
It will also be noticed that the inner side of the ankle stay attached to the flange 13 of the arch support forms practically a continuation of the said flange 13 to provide an exceedingly strong support for the inner side of the foot.
It will further be noticed that an ankle stay and arch support combined in the manthan an ankle stay and an. arch support inserted separately in a shoe. Y
laying thus described my invention, I
Y claim asA new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1 l. A shoe insert, comprising a combined arch support Sand ankle stay,
port having a base providedv at one side with an upwardly extending flange, the said ankle stay arranged to. extend above the ankle and port yand ankle stay together.
2.V A shoe insert, comprising a combined arch support and an ankle stay, the'arch sup- Y port being of a stiff niaterialfandhaving Va baseprovided at one v'side with an integral flange ,arched lengthwise and curved up- ',wardly, fthe said stay arranged to .extend above the' ankle and being of afleXble materal andprovided with stiftening members, Vthe stay ittingat the lo'weigportion around the arch supthe back and parts of the sides'of the said base, one side lit-ting against tlie'rear portion or' thev` said base flange, the said'stay lbeing provided at the lower portionwith Van inwardly extending flange secured to the under side of the said arch support. i
V3. Ashoe insert, comprising a combined arch support andan ankle stay, the arch supportV being'of a stillmaterial and having a base providedat one side with an integral flange'arched lengthwise and curved upwardly, the saidy stay arranged toef'ztfend above' the ankle and being of ajllexible material and provided with stiffeningV members, A,
the stay fitting atthe lower portion around `the back and parts oi' the sides'ofthe said baseone yside fitting against the rear half portionV of the saidbase flange, the said stay being provided at the lowerportion with an inwardly extending lflange secured to then under side of the said arch support, and a covering plate seciired to the said' flange and tothe under side .of thes'aid base.
