. P. G. H. HINDER FOOT SUPPORT Filed May 29, 1926 Patented Nov. 27, 1928.
LtQBAtZ UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE,
rnncrvan GEORGE HAMLYN BINDER, or Lennon, ENGLAND.
Application filed May 29, 192e, Serial N6.
' This invention relates to foot supports such as are commonly used for support-ing the arches of the foot. v H
Such supports; as usually constructed con- 5 sist of a metal spring plate of the desired shape and resiliency sometimesattached to the underside of a leather 1 covering upon which the foot rests.
The resiliency of the under metal plate-or 10 spring necessitates that the forward edge of the plate continually move backwards and forwards upon the inner surface of the sole of the boot or shoe and it has been found that the edge of this plate, although it is usually bevelled, cuts into the shoe.
In order to obviate thisit has been suggested to encase theforward end of the plate in a leather casing but this is not a completely satisfactory solution of the problem.
According to my invention I provide upon the underside of the resilient metal supporting late or spring a secondary thin metal or ot er bearing plate.
This thin metal bearing plate may be attached in any convenient manner to the supporting plate so long as the arrangement is such as to permit of the supporting plate moving relatively'upon the bearing plate.
In the accompanying drawings I have illustrated by way of example, certain arrangements which prove stisfactory in practice Figure 1 being a plan of one form of device, Figure. 2 a plan of a slight modification and Figure 3 a side elevation of the said-modification.
designates the more or less usual metal arch support and is mounted upon a leather base in the usual manner.
The numeral 2 designates a bearing plate which may consist of a thin stampingof rustless metal or it may be celluloid or the like upon the forward end 3 'ofwhich the forward end of the arch supporting plate 1 bears, the rear end 4 of the bearing plate being connected to the forward portion of the crown of the supporting plate by rivets or the like. The said forward end may be integral with the rear end as in Figures 2 and 3 or it ma be made separately and'connected thereto either through the medium of a tongue edge of'the secondry bearingh Referring to these drawings the numeral-1 roo'r sprron'r.

and slot connection as shown in Figure 1 or may berivet'ed thereto or otherwise suitably attachd;
j Many other methods of connection may however'be adopted so long as the arrangeinent is such that when the weight of the foot comes upon the arch support 1 the thin bearing plate is so held to the inner surface of the shoe sole as to form a bearing plate upon which the forwardiend of the arch supporting plate 1 rides.
What I claim and desire to secure by Let-' ters Patent is I 1. A foot arch support comprising a metal arch, anon-metallic covering and a secondary bearin plate, the rear edge of the metal arch being ree torest on the sole of the boot while its front edge'only is protected by the front plate, the secondary bearing plate being s orter than the metal arch and secured at its rear end in the arch, the metal arch being secured to the nonmetallic covering.
2. A foot arch support comprising ametal arch, a non-metallic covering and a secondary "bearing plate, the front edge of the metal arch being arranged to bear on the front portion of the secondary bearing plate, while the rear portion of the secondary bearing plate extends only to; and is secured in, the crown portion of the metal arch, the metal arch being secured to the non-metallic covering.
3. A'foot arch support comprising a metal shaped transverse members of the T shaped plate, while the narrow end of the T shaped plateextends only'to,*and is secured in, the crown portion of the metal arch, the metal arch being secured to the non-metallic covering.
. 4. A foot arch support comprising a metal arch, a leather covering, a secondary bearing plate, the secondary bearing plate being more flexible than, and less than half the length of the metal arch and curved away from the metal arch, its rearward end being riveted to the forward portion of the crown of the arch of the metal arch while its forward edge extends freely beyond the forward edgeof the metal arch.
the metal arch being arranged to bear on the 5. A foot arch support comprising a plate metal arch, a leather covering,and a T shaped secondary bearing plate, the secondary bearing plate being more flexible than the plate 5 metal arch and its forward transverse portion arranged to support the front edge of the plate metal arch While the rear narrow portion of the T is curved away from the plate metal arch and its rear end'riveted to the forward portion of the crownof the arch, 10 the plate-metal arch being secured to the leather covering.
In witness whereof I afiix my signature.
