Application filed January 89, 1827. Serial 1T0. 184,463.
The invention to be hereinafter described I relates to shoes, and more particularly to a with the exception of a simple unobjectionable change therein which enablesheel and metatarsal arch supporting cushionsv or either of them to be quickly and easily applied to the shoe. The-character of the invention may be best understood by reference to the following description of goodforms thereof, shown in the accompanying drawings, and the process of manufacturing the same.
' In the drawing: r
Fig. 1 is a perspective-view of an insole therein, and shows the slugs removed in punching the holes; i Y F'g. 2 is a longitudinal section through a portion of a mans shoe embodying the invention; v
Fig. 3 is a bottom view of the heel cushion; Fig. 4 is a bottom ,view of the. metatarsal arch'supporting cushion,
Fig. 5 is a'lon'gitudinal section through a portion of the shoe and showing the heel and metatarsal arch supporting cushions apilid to the insole after removal of the slugs 'lrom the holes therein;
Fig. 6 is a longitudinal section through a portion of a ladys turned shoe embodying the invention;
Figs. 7 and 8 are respectively perspective views of a shank and a fore part filler; and
Fig. 9 is a vertical section through a portion of the shoe shown in Fig. 6 and showing the heel and metatarsal. arch supporting cushions applied to theshank and ore part filler respectivel after removal of the slugs from the holes t erein.
Referring to the'drawin s, 1 (Fig. 1 designates an insole haying a ole 3 punched 1n the heel portion of the insole and a hole 5 punched in the ball portionof the insole, said. holes being of general oval form and having cushion locatingan-d holdingholes from the insole. These slugs are restored to or left in the holes in the insole, and may be held removably therein by Webs 11 and 13 01 cloth or paperk and having areaslarger than the slugs and secured to the upper and lower surfaces of the insole by a suitable adhesive.
The insole described above may be" built into a shoe in the process of manufacturing the samel In this process the upper 15,- counter 17 and insole ma be lasted in the usual manner, and then t e outsole may be ,applied. The hole inthe heel portion of the insole is so located and of a size such that in punchingthe same it is directly above the cavity formed by the inturned margins 19 of the upper, counter and lining whlch'are between the insoleand the outsole. The hole 7 in the ball portion of the insole is of an area and location such that it is in awa from the inseam of the shoe. Thus the ma ing of these holes in the insole does not have any destructive effect upon or weaken the shoe.
The heel cushion may be substantially the same as that disclosed in my copending ap- PllOat-lOIjS Serial Nos. 156,927 and 156,928 both filed December 24, 1926. It is made 0 high grade rubber and comprises .a dia-.
phragm 21 (Fig. 3) having a collar 23 proectin down from the bottom thereof and of ova shape and appropriate size to fit into I thehole 3 1n the insole. The diaphra' m is substantially larger than the hole and as a marginal surface 0 the insole surrounding'the ole. The construction of this diaphragm is such that when its collar is in the hole in the insole and the wearer of the shoe is walking, the dia hragm may flex up and down with pulsatie action, and will conform to the shape of the base of the heelof the wearer of the shoe. The oval shape of the hole and the collar of the cushion will prevent the diaphragm from turning outof its normal proper position. will prevent any shifting of the diaphragm Alsofthe collar in the hole portion which rests upon the u per lon itudinally or transversely of the insole.
produced;by punching ,out slugs 7 and 9 of the insole. Pro]'ecting up from t e diav phragm is a rotuberance 29 (Fig. 5) which 1s suitably ormed to furnish the proper support for the metatarsal arch of the foot. The diaphragm has a margin of substantial area which rests upon the upper surface of the insole. -When the wearer is walking, the diaphra and its protuberance are adapted to 11%; up and down with pulsatile action which will operate desirably to exercise and strengthen muscles of the foot and restore them to normal healthy condition, so that they will roperly support the metatarsal arch of the oot.
The oval shape of the collar 23 of the arch supporting cushion and the oval sha of the hole 5 in the insole will prevent dislocation of the cushion from its roper position. It cannot shift longitudinally or transversely of the insole, and it cannot turn.
By-my mvention a shoe is provided of usual construction with the exception that the slugs are punched from the lnsole and left and secured therein so that to outward appearances the shoe is not different from the ordinary shoe. Shoes thus manufactured and supplied to retailers will be in readiness to receive the heel and metatarsal arch supporting cushions if a customer so desires. In applying these cushions it is nerely necessary to remove the slugs from the holes in the insole, present the heel and metatarsal arch supporting cushions to the insole and insert their collars into the holes. These are simple operations quickly and easily accomplished. The hole is so located in the ball portion of the insole that if a person is fitted with a shoe of correct size, the metatarsal arch supporting cushion will be properly located to furnish the desired support for the arch.
A shoe provided with these cushions can be worn as an ordinary shoe, since they do not project into and occupy the space originally designed to receive the foot.
Goodyear welt, McKay, turned shoes and other types of shoes may be prepared to embody the present invention, in order that they may be adapted to receive the cushions described.
Referring 6 to 9, a la ys turneishoe is shown therein and comprises the upper 31, sole 33, heel 35, shank 37 and the fore part filler 39. The
shank and the fore part filler have mating now more particularly to Figs.
feathered ends 41 anl 43 which may be se-' cured together b a staple. .The hole 45 is made in the shan to receive the heel cushion,
and the hole 47is made in the fore part' filler to receive the metatarsal arch supporting cushion. The shank and the fore part filler preferably have the holes punched therein efore they are built into the shoe. The slugs 49 and 51 which are punched out in producing the shank hole-and fore part filler hole, are left in their holes and are removably held therein by webs 53 and 55 of cloth or paper and having areas larger than the slugs I and secured to the upper and lower surfaces of the shank and filler by suitable adhesive.
y The cushions for application to the shank and the fore part filler may be similar to those described for the mans shoe, with the exce tion that the heel cushion necessarily wou d be made smaller and preferably its collar is of the same" size as the collar of the metatarsal arch cushion. The holes 45 and 47 for receiving the collars made the same size.
If a ladys shoe is constructed with a full length filler, it would be similar to the insole shown in Fig. 1, but shaped appropriately for a ladys shoe.
The term insole employed in the claims is also to be re arded as generic to a full length filler and to'a shank and fore part filler.
It will be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific process set forth preferably are herein and that various deviations may be porting cushions, which consists in punchingfrom an insole to form holes in the heel slu an ball portions of the insole, leaving the slugs in the holes in the insole, and removably securing the slugs in the holes in the insole.
