Application filed August 4, 1922. Serial No, 579,733.
To all whom t may concer/n.'
Be it ltnown that I, ISAAC M. PEAsE, a citizen of the United States, Vresiding at Cincinnati, in the county of I-Iamilton and Stateof Chio, have invented a new and useful Arch Support, of which the following is a specification.
The device forming the subject matter of this application is adapted to support the arch of the human foot, and one object of the invention is to improve the support. Another object of the invention is to provide novel means whereby the support may be adjusted longitudinally of the foot of the wearer. Another obj ect of the invention is to provide novel means for assembling the support with the means whereby it is held on the foot.
It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and to enhance the utility of devices of that type to which the invention appertains.
With the above and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that, within the scope of what is claimed, changes in the precise embodiment of the invention shown can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings :e
Figure 1 shows in bottom plan, a device constructed in accordance with the invention; Figure 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Figure 1; Figure 3 is a section on the line 8 3 of Figure 1; Figure 11 is a detail enlarged from Figure 3; Figure-5 is a longitudinal section showing a modification; Figure 6 is a longitudinal section showing another modification; Figure 7 is al section showing a still further modification.
In carrying out the invention, there is f provided a loop-shaped retainer 1, preferably made of elastic material. The ends 2 of the retainer l are bridged by a reinforcing strip 3 secured by stitching L1, or otherwise, to the ends of the retainer, to hold the retainer in the loop form shown in the drawings. Eyelets 5 of tubular form are mounted in the strip 3 and in the ends 2 of the retainer 1.
The article includes a support, which `may be in the form of a pad, denoted by the numeral 6 and located within the retainer 1, the pad being` of concave-convex form, as shown in the drawings. `The pad 6 comprises a covering including an .outer member 7 and an inner member 8, the covering containinga cushion 9 which may be of sponge rubber or any other suitable material. Tabs 10 are attached to the covering Y at diametrically opposite ypoints and eX- tend beneath the inner member 8 of the covering. A bridge is provided, the same being, if desired, in the form of an arched metallic spring` 11, the ends of which `are secured at 12 by stitching or otherwise, to the tabs 10. Openings 14 are formed in the bridge or spring 11. Fastening devices v15 are engaged in the openings 14 of the spring or bridge and are engaged with the eyelets 5 in the strip 3 of the retainer 1, the support or pad 6 thus being held releasably and removably on the retainer 1. It is to be understood that the pad 6k may be connected to the retainer 1 in any desired way, but, if preferred, thefastening devices 15 may be in the form of ordinary paper fasteners having their ends bent to engage the reinforcing strip 3 as shown in Figure 1.
Owing to the fact that the retainer 1 is of loop-form and is elastic, the retainer may be shifted longitudinally of the foot of the wearer, and thus the support or pad 6 may be positioned the desiredpcint depending upon the pathological conditions of the foot;
In the modification shown in Figure 5, parts hereinbefore described have been designat-ed by numerals previously used, with the suffixl a. In this form of the invention, the bridge is in the form of a flexible strip 16 connected at its ends, as shown at 17 at diametrically opposite Apoints of the pad 6a, the spring 11 of Figure 2 being dissoV su Y
pensed with. The cushion 9a may be made of material which is less elastic than that out ofwhich the cushion 9 is fashioned. l
ceive the fastening devices A3 which are mounted in the eyelets 5b. Y.
In Figure 7 of the drawings parts hereinbefore described have been designated by numerals previously used, With the suiiixA c. In this form of the invention, the support is in the form of afp-ad 26 connected by fastening devices 25 with eyelets 24 mounted in the reinforcing strips@c of the retainer 1.
'Nliat isclairned is Y .1. A device of the class described comprising a loop-shaped band adapted to be adjusted circumferentiallyof the oot'of the wearer, a'footsupport Withinthe band,` and A structed as set forth in claim l, and further characterized by the fact that the support embodies a curved spring strip which promotes resiliency.
3. A device of the class described, conystructedas set forth in claim l., and further characterized by the fact that the support embodies a curved' spring strip .which prometes resiliency and a padV assembled with t-he ends of. the strip.
In testimony that I ,claim thefcregoing' as my own, I have hereto aliixed my lsignature. Y
