H. SOCHOR FOOT ARCH SUPPORT Filed Jan. 15. 1927 Patented July 24, 1928.
PATENT OFFICE.
HANS socnon, or ZURIOH-I-IONGG, SWITZERLAND.
' FOOT-ARCH SUPPORT.
Application filed January 15, 1927, Serial No. 161,370, and in Switzerland February 16, 1926.
The present invention relates to a new and improved foot-arch support. 7 p The main object of the invention is to provide a device which will give not only a good support to the sick foot, but which will bring dislocated parts of the foot in their normal natural position.
A further object of the invention is to provide a foot-arch-support adapted to be fastened to the foot.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a bandage to fix the support to the foot, means being provided to preventthe edges of the bandage unduly pressing into the flesh of the foot.
The invention has for its object to provide a device which can be easily adapted to support and sustain most abnormal feet which is easily attached and detached.
Other objects will appear in the course of the following description of a preferred construction of the new foot-arch support.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 shows a plan view of the support, Fig. 2 is a side view of a part thereof,
Fig. 3 illustrates the support in a crosssection Fig. 4 shows the support attached to a foot seen from below Fig. 5 shows a modlfied construction of the supporting plate.
The support comprises a curved stiff metal-plate 1 adapted to be placed below the arch of a foot. The plate 1 is provided with a curved slot 3 through which passes one end of a broad strap 2 of canvas, or other suitable material of nonelastic nature. To the free end of strap 2 a string 4 isattached. The metal plate 1 is provided with a second curved slot 5 through which the strap 2 is passed when the support is put to use. The curved slot 5 runs inwardly in such a way that the strap 2 when'passed through the slot 5 and tightened over the foot (as shown in Fig. 3) exerts the main pressure along its middle line, the edges of the strap 2 do not press into the flesh of the foot and do not hurt it. On the lower face of the plate 1 a stud 8 is fixed round which the string 4 is slung to retain the strap in its tightened posi tion. On the plate 1 a pad 6 is removably arranged which may consist of leather, rubber, wood, felt, etc., and which is shaped to suit the foot and to give its arch a perfect support. To retain the pad in its position on the plate 1 two caps 7 of leather or the like are arranged at the lower side of the pad 6 into which caps 7 the ends of the plate 1 project. 7
As shown in Fig. 5 the plate 1 may be provided with one opening only in place of the two slots 3 and 5 one edge over which the strap has to pass being curved. Other means may be used to fix the strap 2 for instance buckles etc.
The arch support may be provided with two or more straps which may be passed over the foot crossing each other. The plate 1 may be made of multi-ply wood, leather and so on, and may itself be curved or shaped to support the foot-arch without a pad.
The arch support may be easily placed on the foot by the person and the straps may be tightened or released quickly and with little loss of time.
What :I wish to secure by U. S. Letters Patent is 1. A foot arch support comprising a relatively stilf resilient plate, a flexible band having one end attached to said plate at point substantially midway between the ends of the latter and near one side edge thereof and said plate having an opening near the opposite side to permit the drawing ofsaid band therethrough when said band has been passed around the instep of the wearer and a pad on said plate.
2. A foot arch support comprising a rela tively stiff resilient plate, a flexible band having one end attached to said plate at a point substantially midway between the ends of the latter and near one side edge thereof and said plate having an opening near the opposite side to permit the drawing of said band therethrough when said band has been passed around the instep of the wearer and a pad on saidplate, said pad being detachable from said plate andsaid pad and plate having coacting means to detachably secure said pad on said plate.
In witness whereof I aflix my signature.
