Application filed December 19, 1921. Serial No. 523,272.
To all whom 136mg; concern:
Be it known that I, FRANK GROSSMAN, a citizen of the United States, residin at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and tate of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Arch Supporters, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates essentially to an arch supporter for boots andshoes in which a felt pad permanently fixed between the inner and outer soles serves tosupport the bones of a fallen arch.
An object of the invention is to position the pad inan opening located in the inner sole beiore the outer sole is sewed to the welt.
Another object of the invention is to provide the opening with means for locking the pad in its place so that it cannot shift after the outer sole is secured.
Another object of the invention rovides a method of shaping the pad while t e outer sole is-sewed to the welt to conform it to ifzhe' cavity of the arch portion of the oot.
The novel features of the invention are more fully described in the following specification and claims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure 1 represents a vertical section of a shoe embodying this invention. v
Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of the inner sole.
Figure 3 is a to view of the same.-
Figure 4 is a si e elevation ofa pad.
In the drawi the numeral 5 designates an insole to whic is sewed the upper 6 and the sole 7 as is well-known. An outer sole 8 is stitched to the welt in the ordinary way.
Th present invention consists in providing the inner sole with a chamiered opening 9 shaped to correspond with the confi ration or outline of the arch portion 0 the foot. A felt pad 10 having a beveled rim 11 is fitted into the opening of the inner sole. The beveled rim'e es the cham'fer in the" edge of the o erning t us locking it in place so that it w' be impossible for it to move after the outer sole is fastened and presses against the back of the pad.
The pad is inserted into the opening after the upper and welt is stitched to the inner preferably made after the'so-l'e, upper and welt aresewed together so that the cavity in the last can be shaped at the same time. The chamfered border of the opening primarily insures an interlocking joint to prevent displacement of the pad, and at the same'time it obviates any bulging or wrinklin of the leather surrounding the opening. e elasticity of the pad permits it to be conformed to the curvature of the arch of the foot. The upward pressure of the outer sole on the back of the pad has a tendency to raise it so that the portion protruding from the hole Will bolster the arch.
I claim:
1. In boots and shoes'the combination of rial a chamfered opening in the shank of said insole to lie beneath the arch of the foot, a resilient pad slightly larger than and protruding through said opening and held" in place between the inner and outer soles,
both soles lying in contact throughout substantially all (their areas save'ior those parts separated by the pad.
3. The method of securing an arch supporter in a boot or shoe which consists of arranging a pad in an opening in the inner sole, and I sewing the outer sole to the welt to lock the pad in place, the inner sole engaging the outer sole throughout its entire periphe al.
4. e method of securing an arch supporter in a boot'or shoe which in Q memes forming an opening in th inner sole and a my hand in the presence of two subscribing cavity in the last, then after the upper, welt witnesses. and inner sole are sewed together, lacin v A N a pad in the opening, and sewing th oute FRANK (IRObbMAN 5 sole to the Welt, the inner sole engaging the \Vitnesses:
outer sole throughout its entire periphery. INEZ M. SoHoMBs,
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set WILLIAM MILLER.
