ARCH SUPPORT.
Application filed August 7, 2.922. Serial No.y 580,083.
T0 @ZZ whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, ALBERT MALSIN, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful'improvements in Arch Supports, of which the following isl a. specification.
This invention relates to arch supports and has for vits object to provide a construction whereby the effectiveness and usefulnessof the arch support will be greatly enhanced. An arch support as heretofore constructed Nis made of acurved resilient plate and is port is provided with means which will obviate these drawbacks and which, moreover, will have the effect of a strongly resisting pressure on Vthe support, but in a yielding manner, so that the arch support will not be felt uncomfortable.
My invention will be more clearly understood by reference to the accompanying drawing in which similar reference cha-r- .acters denote corresponding parts and in which Fig. 1 is a bottom plan view of a shoe with the outsole and heel removed to show my new arch support; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section on line 2-2 of'Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 is a cross section on line 3-3 of Fi 1. l
lgO denotes the shoe, 11 the insole, 12 the outsole and 13 the heel of a shoe. The arch support, as usual, is adapted to be embedded between the soles under the arch of the shoe.
According to my invention the arch support comprises three spring members 14, 15 and 16. The main member 16 is a metal plate substantially of the usual construction and shape andadapted to be mounted between the inner faces of the two soles, so
that its rear end will slightly project intok a cavity 13 made in the upper faceof the heel.
The two other spring members 14, 15 are in form of arched metal plates, of which one, 14, is inserted between the two soles, fso
.as arch support greatly enhanced.
'ing the muscles of the latter.
that its archedV portion 14 willspread the two soles aparta short distance of theirl length, and the other 15 is positioned :in
the cavity 13. of the heel 13."V The two ,360 spring members 14, lare suitably .fixed A in position at their'o-uter ends by screws A17 or the like, while their inner ends are loose and capable of compression and expansion in longitudinal direction. The arched portion 15 havingmerely the function to lend resiliency to the plate 15 is directed with l its convex face downwardly into the cavity 13 to be free to expand and contract. The
The inner ends of the members 14, 15 are bent laterally upon themselves, as atv 142, 152 toform sockets for engaging the S0 opposite ends of the main plate 16 which are adapted to project through said sockets and to lbear against the arched portions 14, 15. Y
As a result of this construction, when the main spring plate 16 under the weight of the wearer will tend to flatten its ends will act against the arched portions 14', 15 which in their turn will exert a stron yielding resistance. ofthe main plate will be not only sustained, but even strengthened and its effectiviess uring walking the alternate compression and expansion of the arch portion 14 caused by 95 the corresponding functioning of the main plate 16 will produce a slight massaging action on the sole of the wearers foot, which will have the beneficial effect of strengthen- It is obvious that' various changes may be made in the constructionwithout departing from the principle of my invention, and I, therefore, do not wish, to restrict'myselfV to the details described yand shown.
What I claim is y1. In a shoe having a cavity in its heel, an arch support comprising a'resilient memberfextending longitudinally between the in.-
-sole and outsole 4of the shoe and projecting `Il O at its rear into said cavity, and two resilient arched members, one 'fixed at its front end .f Y Y but Thereby the resiliency betWf-Jenv said soles and the other, at itsrearend in said cavity, Jthe free ends of said arched members being formed with sockets to shdably engage the ends of said first member. and' the archesfof said members being adaptedto act against the same to prearched members5 one'xed. at its front end between said soles and the other, atiits'rear end in" saidl cavlty, the free ends'v of said weies arched members" beingformed with, sockets to slidably engage the endso'f said irst named member and the arches of said members being adapted'to act against the same to prevent flattening of said first named member,
the arch of the front member being directed upwardly sov as to also act as a Vmassaging element.
In testimony whereof l affix my signature in presence of t'Wo'Witnesse's;
' ALBERT MALSN.
