PATENT OFFICE.
ALEXANDER E. BLOCK, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.
FOOT-TREATMENT APPLIANCE.
Application filed July 5,
My invention relates to an improved foottreatinent appliance, and has for its object to provide a series of insert-receiving pockn ets for the treatment of the anterior metatarsal arch, and other insert-receiving members for the treatment of one or more of the longitudinal arches, all detachably mounted upon and carried by a eincture devised to encircle the wearers foot at or near the instep; the eincture itself being preferably cut away to accommodate the large joint of the great toe, and being adjustable forwardly and rearwardly upon the foot.
The several elements involved in the appliance are intended for use in the treatment of a wide range of abnormalities of the human foot, and their adjustment is to be accomplished upon the foot itself prior to the insertion of the foot within a boot, shoe or sandal.
Drawings.
In the drawings Fig. 1 is a perspective view, of an appliance embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional View of the same taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a similar view of the same, taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1, the foot bearing the appliance being seated in ashoe.
Fig. 4 is a longitudinal sectional View of the same, taken on the li'ne 4:-4 of Fig. 1, and indicating the foot carrying the appliance, in its relation to the shoe-sole.
Descrip tion.
The eincture 5 is cut away at 6 to accommodate the large joint commonly known as the bunion joint, and carries, secured by lines of stitching 7 a series of overlapping and superimposed pockets 8, adapted to receive inserts 9 for the treatment of the an tericr metatarsal arch of the foot, the pockets 8 being mounted in an arcuate line, as shown in Fig. 1, and being secured to each other by lines of stitching 10, or equivalent means.
Extending rearwardly from the eincture 5 is thelongitudinal-arch treatment member A comprising a series of superimposed and overlapping pockets 11 adapted to receive 1923. Serial No. 649,630.
one or more inserts 12, the highest points of the several pockets being at various positions with reference to the length of the wearers Y foot.
The memberA is secured to the eincture 5 by lines of stitching 13 or equivalent securing means, and the pockets 11 are formed by mounting the flaps upon each other by lines of stitching'l or like readily-frangible securing means.
Mode 07 operation.
K are then placed in .position in the proper pocket orpoclets and the foot is inserted in the wearers boot, shoe or sandal without disturbance of the adjustment of the appliance or the shifting of its position upon the wearers foot.
IheV arcuate alinement of the pockets 8 approximately corresponds to the *arrangement of the heads of the metatarsal bones in the wearers foot. The eincture 5 is flexible, permitting the full effect of the inserts 9 to be imparted to the sole of the foot at the desired location, as illustrated in Fig. 4.
