`and is in the nature of a foot corrector in general.
The primary object of the 'invention is ,to ,provide va supportto :be worn in shoes, including low shoes, .that will provide a smooth insole,and Vthat will Vconform to the natural lines ofthe normal foot, thereby correcting a defective foot.
A further object of the invention is to provide a supportv that will brace the foot at its weakest point.
Other objects of the-invention are to provide a support in the nature of an insole and foot corrector that is light in weight, that will not slide out `of place, acts as a foot cushion as well as a support, and is simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination land arrangement ofthe several parts, to be hereinafterfully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically vpointed out in the appended claims.
In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the `accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts lthroughout the -several views, and in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device forming the subject matter of the present invention.
Figure 2 is a bottom pl-an view thereof.
Figure 3 is a viewzof the forms associated with the dev-ice arranged in superimposed relation for purpose of illustration.
Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on line 4--4 of Figure 1.
Referring to the drawings in detail the reference numeral 1 indicates the lbody portion of the device which is in the nature of an insole shaped to conform to the sole of a shoe for a normal shaped foot. v The body portion has secured at its edgeszthrough the medium of stitches a base 2 which has its front .edge 3 terminating beyond the central portion of the body andat' the part Where y lthe ball of the foot will rest. The -end 3 is not stitched to the body but vis held associated therewith through the medium of a a circular -anterior arch pad 4 which is .stitched to the body 1 and the base as at 5.
The body portion 1 as well *as the base 2 has laterally extending therefrom coo erating 4curved arch engaging pieces 6 and and it is at this `portion of the device thaty the inserts 8, 9 and 10 are arranged between the base and body portion to .provide the arch supporting `means as shown. These inserts can be used in any number fdesired; in
other wrds all of them may be used or only one as the occasion requires, depending of vcourse upon the correction necessary for the patient and the advancement ofthe correction. The inserts to function to yan advantage must be substantially horse hoof shaped and crescent shaped as clearly shown in Figure 3 of the drawings `and are arranged :in superimposedV relation for the purpose intended. The arch supporting means is further reinforced and built up by securing the bridge pad 11 at the juncture of the arch engaging pieces with the base. This bridge .pad 11 may be secured at the place desirable to vproperly correct abnormal feet.
, From the drawings and above description it Vwill be readily apparent that the function 4of the device forming the subject .matter of the present invention is to correctly balance the weight of the body, arrange the foot in normal position thereby permitting nature to strengthen the muscles and ligaments when walking and to provide proper fitting of a shoe when it does not permit yproper balancing of the weight of the body.
It is thought from ythe foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.
I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.
What I claim is:
1. A foot correcting form comprising a body, a base secured to the outer edges thereof and terminating in a free end at the longitudinally central portion thereof, a pad secured to the base and body respectively and `bridging the free end of the base, and an 2. A foot correcting form comprisin'g'a being horse hoof and crescentshaped, and body, a base secured to the outer edges therea bridge pad seolired to the projection ofthe of, projecti-onslateraliy extending from the basato substantially brace the projections 10 base and body init manner to engage they and HISFIS thlbeWGBD- n y 5 arch of the foot, a, plurality of inserts ari ntegtlmony whereof Ii'mx my slgnatureran ed between the base and body and ex- Y ten ing between the projections, said inserts I LEO LUCKEN.
