ORTHOPEDIC SHOE AND BOOT.
Application filed October 23, i922. Serial No. 596,373.
This invention relates to orthopedic shoes a main arch supporting portion; to provide a shoe with an insole of the character mentioned with individual parts to provide the required prominence or prominences at a proper point or points to overcome the disadvantcges of natural foot imperfections; and with those and other objects in view, the invention resides in the particular construction, and the art of attaining the same hereinafter fully described.
In the drawing which forms a part of this specification Figure l is a perspective View of the insole per se.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of one of the filler nieces.
Figure is a perspective view of another filler piece. t
Figure 4 is a longitudinal sectional View of the insole.
Figures 5, 6 and 7 are transverse sectional views showing several views of the present invention as applied to a shoe and these views are taken through the toe, instep and heel portion respectively of the shoe.
The invention in the present case in part, is predicated upon the use of an insole such the one shown in Figure 1 of the drawing. This insole 10 is constructed so that it has an arch support 11 and an arch 12 extending from the arch support to the toe portion thereof, the latter constituting the ball portion of the insole. The present insole differs however from the ordinary insole in that at the arch support 11 thereof the present insole is provided with a lateral upwardly extending supporting portion 13. It will be man1- fest that the portion 13 is disposed to give support to the arch of the foot to the best advantage. In order that the foot of an individual may have the arch supported in a proper manner the insole 10 is provided at the hall thereof with a concavo-convex portion to provide a cavity which arches the insole at the hall thereof transversely as well as longitudinally. The concavity at the upper side of the hall portion of the insole 1O accommodates the disproportioned ball of an individuals foot and allows the same to set relatively low while the arch is supported in its relatively hi gh curved condition. A tiller pie-cel-ilas shown in Figure 2 of the drawing is employed the hall portion of the insole l0 and a filler portion as shown in Figure 3 is employed at the heel portion of the insole.
These parts 14 and 15 are applied to the insole,
and make the latter of greater thickness at one side than at the opposite side at the particular point of application of the parts it and 15. The greater thicknesses are on the inner side of the ball portion 12 of the insole.
In order that use may be made of the parts hereinhefcre described, it is necessary to follow certain steps for the construction of the shoe or the like in accordance with the present invention. The steps are as follows:
The insole 10 is applied to a last having a prominence at the ball thereof with a filler piece such as the piece 14 at the ball portion of the insole between the latter and the bottom face of the last, with a filler piece such as the piece 15 at one portion of the insole between the latter and the bottom face of the last, with a padding 16 and lining 17 covering the parts 14L and 15, then applying the upper, securing the upper to the insole and completingthe manufacture of the sole inthe or dinary way; The effect of this procedure re sults in the production of a shoe, which at the portion thereof that accommodates the hall of the foot, is provided with a cavity 18 and an angularly disposed. inner surface which is higher at one side than the opposite side; and one which at the portion thereof which accommodates the heel portion of a foot will have an angularly disposed inner surface which is higher at one side than the opposite side.
From the foregoing it will be manifest that in order to carry out the present invention it is necessary to make use of the several parts thereof in a particular manner and that it is further necessary to employ the several parts by constructing the shoe in accordance with certain prescribed steps. It will also he manifest that the orthopedic arrangement is such as to meet the common condition but where unusual conditions are to be made, satisfactorily made boots shaped to the foot are employed.
it is to'be understood that while the main arch in each'ease will have the supportingportion 13 in some cases the filler portion 1 1 Will not be used While in other cases the filler piece 15 illnot be used. In other Words I 'both portionsl l and-15 may be used in con? 7 junction with the portion 13 or either one of the parts'l l or 15 alone may be used in con- .nection with the portion 13. 7 1o Whatis claimed is:' 'In an article of footwear, an insole including an arch portion and a: ball portion, said ball portion being concavo-conv'ex longitudiing portion of the insole at the. inner side thereof adjacent to the heel and toe portions respectively.
In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature.
