A. BERNAT ET A'L ARCH SUPPORT Filed Nov. 16 1921 wm, JW W 6M ADOLPH BEBNAT AND IAAC BERNAT, OF EJXNSAS CITY, MISSOURI.
ARCE'I SE'PORT.
Application file November 13, 1921.
To aZZ 'wom z may concern:
Be it known that we, ADoLrH BERNAT and.,
IsaacV Banner, citizens of the United States, residing at Kansas City, 1n` the county of Jackson and State of Missouri, have lnvented a certain new and useful n'iprovement in ."rch Supports, of which the following is a specification.
rihe object of our invention 1s to provide an archsupport which can be adapted for arches of dihierent'lieiglits,wvliich is simple,v
sanitary, c ieap to make, durable, not liable, to get outl of order, which is easy on the foot, which is resilient, and in which the sprlng pressure which resists the depression of the' arch may be varied asto strength 'and points of resistance.
The-novel features of ouriinvention are hereinafter fully described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawing, which iliustrates the preferred enibodirnent of our invention,
Fig. 1 is a' side elevation of our lmproved arch support.
ed the general .':ontour of a foot arch.
Secured to the under side of the member 1. prefera-bly bv screws 2, so as to be detachable, is a spring supporting flat plate 3, preterably of ahuniuuni or sheet steel, having a plurality of seats for Springs, each coraprising, preferably, a pair of' upwardly extonding tongues l adapted to be encircled by the lower end of a coil spring. In the drawing we have shown three pairs of tongues arranged in a longitudinal row. The center pair of tongues ei are adapted to be inserted in the lower end of a Vertical coil spring 5, the upper end 'of which rests against the under side of a clrcular seat der side of the member 1.
lserve to Serial No. 515,504.
Two other Vertical coil springs 7 and 8 are adapted to be respectively fitted tothe outer sets oftongues et and to have their upper e-nds rest respectively. against two seat plates 6 corresponding in form and function to the seat plate 6 already referred to. Each seat plate 6 may be provided with two downwardly extending tongues VlOadapted to bc inserted in the .adj acent upper end of the adjacent coil spring. The tongues 4 and ;10 prevent lateral slipping of the coil Springs. i ,w
The Springs 5, 7 and 8 serve as a yielding resilient support for'the member l. i
In the use of the arch support, one two or all of the springs maybe employed'. i In some cases, where it is desired to gradually build up the'arch of the foot, it maybe advisable'to use only the center-spring 5, or one or both of the Springs 7 and 8, or one of these latter Springs with the spring 5, as shown Vin Fig. 7 Illhen asv the footl becomes accustomed to the support, an additional spring .may beinserted. w
To insert or remove the Springs, it is but necessary to remove one of the screws 2, after which vone or more of the coil springs may be' inserted or removed', following which the removed screw inay be re-inserted.
The spring supporting plate 3 is so disposed with reference to the member l as to rest upon the sole of the shoe. t is suificiently fiexible to conforrn to the Contour of the upper side of the sole.
lVe do not limit our invention to the structure shown' and described, as' many' moditications, within the scope of the appended clairn, niay be made without departing from the spirit of our invention.
TvWhat we olaim is fin-arch support comprising` a fiexible foot supporting Amember having 'an arched portion, a plate extending across said arched portion and adg'acent to its ends a-ttached to the under side of said'mernber, and coil Springs arra-uged in a longitudinal row and each reinovably mounted between said plate and said arched portion,` substantially as set forth.
In testiinony whereof we have signed our names to this specification.
ADOLPH BERNAT, vIsaac BERNAT.
