Description

ARCH SUPPORT Filed Jan. '7, 1921 vINI/EYTOR.
GEORGE E. JUNG, JB., F CINC'DINATI, @siii SUPPORT.
Application led January 7, 1921. Serial No. 435,727.
a Hamilton and State of Ohio, have inventeda new and useful Improvement in an Arch Support, of which the following is a speci# cation. y
An object, of my invention is to provide i@ an arch supporting pad that is readily adjustable to permit the accommodation of the pad to the individual case, and that will permit adjustment of the pad in' such wise as is necessary and proper in view of the development of the case towhi'ch applied.
`These and other objects are attained by the means described herein and disclosed in the accompanying drawing in which:-
Fig. 1 is a side view of a device embodya@ ing my invention mounted on the' foot of a patient and encased within a shoe, part of which is broken away.
Fig. 2 is an inverted plan view of a colla sed device embodying my invention.
26 ig. 3 is a perspective view of the device shown in Fig. 2 in the form assumed theretfiy when ready to be applied to a patients oot.
My invention comprises an endless elastic 30 band A having a tapered strip a mounted thereon so as to form a tapered ocket a between the band and the strip. The pocket may be formed in any way but is preferably formed by sewing the tapered strip upon the 85 lower side or bottom of the band. The strip is also elastic. The band and strip are l elastic transversely of a patients foot when applied. The pocket need not be made tapered but can be varied to meet specific cases e0 requiring special treatment. A pad is adapted to engage in the pocket and can be adjusted in regard theretoiso that more or less of the pad may extend from the pocet. The pad is preferably made of felt an is tapered, the sides thereof converging in parallelism with the sides of the pocket. The pad can be made in other than tapered form but is so shown because in the majority of cases, requiring supporting 'of the patients arches, it has been found that the tapered pad accomplishes the desired result, besides conforming to and fitting into the form of the foot. This construction provides support immediately below the interior arch because the wide part of the pad is disposed at that place, and the rearwardly tapered form thereof provides a gradual conforming tothe patients foot.
By adjusting the pad in the pocket the support is extended to various and different muscles and parts of the arch, permitting proper treatment of the arches. As the pa- ,tient improves the pad can be gradually moved 'backward into the pocket, thereby withdrawing the support from the arch in a gradual manner. The transverse elasticity of the band and the strip serve to bind the pad in the pocket at its adjusted position.
What I claim is: A transverse arch support comprising an elastic band constructed to embrace a foot,
an elastic stripsecured to the band in such manner as to form a pocket opening in a Ydirection transverse to the band, both band anonce H. JUNG, JR.
