ADJUSTABLE ARCH SUPPORT.
I Application filed October 31, 1924. Serial No. 747,001.
To all whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, ALBERT L. CRAMERQa citizen of the United States, residing at the city and county of Denver and State of Colorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Adjustable Arch Supports; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the characters of reference marked thereon,
which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to improvements in adjustable arch supports of the type described and claimed in my copending application, Serial No. 688,967,'filedJanuary 28, 1924.
In the application referred to, I -have shown and described an adjustable elastic band arch support having two pockets for the reception of felt pads, one pocket opening longitudinally of the band and the other opening transversely thereof. This is a very satisfactory support, ,but I find that the treatment of the various defects of the human foot require adjustments that cannot very well be made with the device shown and described in the application referred to. I have therefore invented a new device of the same general character, which differs from my previous invention in particulars that permit it to be more readily adjusted to the shape and condition required.- It is well known to those who are familiar with the treatment-required by the class of defects which this device is intended to remedy, that very small, and to the uninitiated, apparently insignificant, chan es in the construction often makes it possi le to successfully remedy defects which could not have been remedied unless accurate adjustment had been possible.
I have found that the use of felt padsalone are not suflicient to enable all the reuired adjustment to be made. I have found 1; at, if, in addition to the felt pads, I employ hair which can be inserted into a separate pocket in any required amount, and which can be distributed in various ways so as to produce the results required, I .am able to obtain better results.
present invention, briefly described, consists of an elastic band which completely encircles the foot and which has a transversely opening pocket of non-elastic ma? terial secured to its outer surface and adapted to receive felt pads, and a second pocket on the inside for the reception of hair. These pockets are, preferably, located one over the other so that the contents of each will modify that of the other.
My invention can be most clearly explained and will be most readily understood when reference is had to the accompanying drawing, in which the preferred form thereof is shown, and in which:
Fig. l is a perspective view of my improved support;
Fig. 2 is a section taken on line 2- 2, Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a section taken on line 33, Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the sup ort,
but looking in the opposite direction rom the view shown in Fig. 1; and
-Fig. 5 is a. side elevation of a foot showing the band in place thereon.
The support consists of an elastic band 6 whose ends are joined at 7 so as to form a ring. Secured to the outer surface of the band is a piece of non-elastic webbing 8 which is stitched to the band 6 on both sides and to the rear so as to form a substantially rectangular pocket open towards the front of the foot. Within the pocket I place felt pads 9.to the thickness required. To the inside of the band and directly over the piece '8, I secure another piece of similar webbing 10 of substantially the same size as 8. This webbing is sewed to the band at its ends and along the front edge where the seam has been designated by numeral 11. Along the front edge the piece 10 is sewed to the web part way so as to secure it thereto to the point marked 12 in Fig. 4. This leaves a small opening through which the hair 13 may be inserted and properly distributed throughout the pocket. The proper distribution of this hair s important, as it is thereby that the best results are obtained. By having the upper pocket open at onepoint and stuffed with hair, the coarse adjustmentmay be made by means of the felt pads, while the finer ad ustmentsare made y means of the hair, which can be inserted in such amounts and distributed in such a manner that a comfortable and effective'arrangement will be secured.
7 Having now described my invention, what I claim as new is:
An arch support comprising, in combinaover the firs tion, an elastic band adapted toencircle the band, said second pocket having an open- 5 foot, said band being adapted to exert a con.- ing thereinto from the rear of the band,
tracting force on the foot, a pocket, formed whereby hair ma be inserted thereinto and 16 in part of non-elastic material, on the underdistributed therein. 7 side of said band, said pocket being open In testimony whereof I afiix no signature. towards the front and adapted to receive a 'ADBERT L. CfiALIER.
part of non-elastic material, located directly felt pad, a second pocket, also formed in 10" t pocket, on the inside of the
