UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ROBERT C. ROSS, F WILMETTE, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF T0 SAMUEL SILVER/MAN, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
ARCH-SUPPORT.
Application ied January 28, 1921.
To all whom it may concern.'
Be it known that I, Ronnn'r C. Ross, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of lVilmette, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in rch-Sup ports, of which the following isa specification.
My invention relates to new and usetul improvements in arch supports, and has for its object the provision of a metatarsal arch support which may7 be adjusted to suit feet of various sizes.
Other objects will appear hereinafter.
The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements ot parts hereinafter described and claimed.
The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, and in which,
Figure 1 is an inverted plan view, showing the metatarsal arch-engaging member mounted at its medial position upon the supporting plate;
F ig. 2 is a side elevation ot a shoe on a smaller scale than Figs. 1 and 3 with parts broken away, showing the device in position in said shoe; and
Fig. 3 is a plan view, showing the member mounted in its shortened position upon the plate.
The form ot invention illustrated in the drawing comprises a flexible member 6, composed of leather or the like, upon which is rigidly mounted a main arch supporting plate i' having an upwardly curved portion 8 on one side and bearing near one 'end a lug or pin 9 provided with an oblong head 1U, and this pin is engagea-ble by either one ot a series of slots 11 provided in an oblong plate 12 which has a raised portion 13 at one end and a similar raised portion 14; at the other. These raised portions are made of varying sizes as shown in the drawing.
The device is adjustable by means of the openings 1l which are placed at varying distances and either one of which may be engaged with the lu 9 to bring the raised portions at the desired distance outward trom the plate 7, in order to suit the particular size of the foot. The raised portions 13 and 1i are made of varying sizes so as to suit various sized metatarsal arches. This device may be placed in position on the sole Specication of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 8, 1921.
Serial No. 440,584.
15 of a shoe 16 as is shown in Fig. 2 and as is well understood.
If desired, the member 12 may be reversed upon the plate 7 bringing the raised portions 13 and 14C downward and thus providing a dished or depressed portion to engage the foot around a corn, callus, or the like, and rotect the same.
While have illustrated and described the preferred form ot' construction for carrying my invention into effect, this is capable of variation and modification without departing from the spirit of the invention. I, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details of the construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variations and modications as come within the scope of the appended claims.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is: l
l. An arch support comprising a supporting plate and a metatarsal arch-supporting member reversibly mounted on said plate.
2. A metatarsal arch support comprising a flexible member, a supporting plate rigidly mounted thereon, an arch supporting member mounted on said plate and having an integral portion struck up from said member and longitudinally alined openings, and connectin means on said plate to engage one ot -said openings to adjust said member longitudinally and adapt the arch support to various sized feet.
3. An arch support comprising a foot-engaging member, a metatarsal arch-supporting member provided with various sized raised portions, and means to adjustably connect said members and adapt said arch support to various sized feet.
1i. An arch support comprising a footengaging member, a metatarsal arch supporting member provided with a plurality of raised portions, and means on one of said members to engage the other member and cause either one or the other of said raised portions to engage the metatarsal arch.
5. A metatarsal arch support comprising a plate provided with a lug, a member adj ustably mounted on said plate and provided with openings to support said lug, and raised portions on said member either of which portions may, by means of said lug and openings, be caused to engage the metatarsal arch.
t3. An dreh support comprising e toot-- engaging member, :t metatfireel ero-h supporting member provided with raised portions, und mounting means on one of seid members to engage the other member whereby the arch supporting member muy be reversed on Said 'toot-enbefegingn member and @deo adjusted thereon for various sized feet.
7. An arch support comprising an ydreh supporting plete., e metaterszri arch supporting member hei/ing e raised portion on ezich meme@ end thereof, and means to mount said member on seid plate to cause either one ot said portions to support the metatnrsal arch :und 15 the other to bear under the arch of the plete. In testimony whereof it have signed my nome to this specification in the presence ot two subscribing Witnesses.
