ARCH SUPPORT Filed June l4, 1928 M E. [lhr is fiansnam I Gum 1 Patented Got. 22, 1929 rnasss ARCH surronrr Application filed June 14,
The present invention is directed to improvements in arch supports, and is an improvement oi my co-pending application filed April 16, 1928, Serial Number 270,345.
The primary object of the invention is to provide a device of this character so con structed that the arch supporting web is so arranged that both stretches thereof will aid in supporting the arch of the user.
Another object of the invention is to provide an arch supporter so constructed that the elastic web thereof can be adjusted as the same loses its elasticity.
Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this character including a frame so constructed that it can be pern1anently attached to the shoe should it be de sired.
With these and other objects in View, this invention resides in the novel features of construction, formation, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure l is a top plan view, with parts broken away.
Figure 2 is a bottom plan view.
Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view.
Referring to the drawing 1 designates a frame formed of suitable sheet metal and includes side bars 2 and end bars 3, said end bars being curved longitudinally in order to impart to the frame a general curvature. An elastic web t is employed and is of such width as to occupy the space between the end bars 3, said web having its terminals secured by a lace 5, said terminals being so arranged as to occur in the bottom stretch of the web.
Upon reference to Figure 2 it will be noted that the web is provided with a plurality of perforations 6, said perforations being so anged that ter the web loses some of its (ll-J. elasticity and if it is desired to adjust the same the web can be cut on the line .A-B and the lace then engaged in the openings 6.
If desired the lace may be eliminated, and the ends of the webs permanently connected.
In order to prevent wear upon the web the side bars 2 may be covered with a webbing 7., thus preventing the web from coming in di- 1928. Serial No. 285,437.
rect contact with the metallic bars and con- STATES PATENT cries sequently preventing wear thereto.
The end bars 3 are provided with openings 8 and through which securing devices may be passed for securing the device within the shoe, and it will be further observes that the structure is such that if desired the insole can be placed over the bars 3 during the manufacture of the shoe in order that the arch support will form a permanent part thereof.
By stretching the web as shown, it will be obvious that pressure upon the upper stretch thereof will be sufficient to cause this stretch to sag: and engage the lower stretch and in this manner both stretches will be subjected to strain.
fhe drawing illustrates the support for use in connection with the right shoe. It will be noted that the bar 2 which engages, in this instance, the right side of the shoe is inclined upwardly and curved longitudinally in order that it will properly lit the shoe and hold the web effectively stretched. The right hand end bar is slightly tapered toinore readily conform to the shape of the shoe. It will be of course understood that the same can be 'rleversed for use in connection with the left s ice.
It will be further observed that the curvature of the end bars 3 is such that the highest point ofthe support will. be located g. S i,
the inner side of the shoe, thus effectively supporting the arch.
From the foregoing, it is though that the construction, operation and many advantages of the herein described invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art, without further description, and it will be understood that various changes in the size, shape, and proportion and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages 7 of the invention.
What is claimed is 1. An arch support comprising a frame ineluding side bars disposed in different planes, a Web supported by said bars, the stretches thereof being disposed one above the other and in inclined planes.
2. An arch support comprising a frame including side and end bars, said end bars being curved longitudinally to maintain ohe side bar above the plane of the other, and a web supported by the side bars and held against longitudinal movement by the end bars.
3. An arch support comprising a frame including side and end bars, one of the side bars being transversely inclined and curved longitudinally, and a Web supported by the side bars and held against longitudinal move- 7 ment by the end bars.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
MILTON E. CHRISTIANSON. [L. 8.]
