SAMUEL RICHMOND, F BATAVIA, OHIO, ASSIGNORTO THE EDWARDS MANUFACTUR-- ING COMPANY, OF GINGINNATT, OHIO, A CORPORATION OF OHIO VSI-IOE-SHANK serro'm 'Application filed March 24, 1928. Serial No. 264,393.
this kind which may be adapted to various shapes of shoe shanks.
These and other objects are attained by the means described herein anddisclosed in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a metal shank support of the invention.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a modified device of the invention.
Fig. 3 is a perspective. view of still an other modification of the device of the invention. I
The device of the invention comprises a sheet metal body having its-rear end 6 suitably formed for attachment to the heel of a shoe and having an angularly disposed opposite end 7 The metal shank support is adapted for insertion between the inner and outer soles of a shoe. The outer sole conforms to the shape of the metal support memher while the insole does not have the relatively abrupt curve therein as in the metal shank support and outer sole. The space between the shank support and inner sole at the angular portion of the shank support is in the deviceof the present invention bridged by integral means supported in spaced relatlon to the angular portion 7 of the metal shank support comprising integral arched strips 8 which are struck from the body of the portion? and which have imparted thereto a relatlvely opposite curvature to that of the body portlon 7. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the arched strips 7 8 may extend in substantial parallelism with the longitudinal axis of the shank support, While as shown in Fig. 2 the integral arched Another object is to provide a device off strips 8 may extend transversely of the longi- 1 tudinal axis of the shank support. The strips 8 as Willbereadily appreciated may be out free from the body 5 and 7 and formed to the desired shape in one operation. The
therefore principallya punchpress opera tion.- These strips may be one or more in number and may be brought to support an insole at one place in a given plane and with a certain-desirable degree of resiliency. It 1 will be understood that it is not essential to the invention that these strips 8 form a resilient support, since the primary object of the device is to provide a shoe shank support which may receive on opposite sides thereof; an 1nner sole and outer sole and retain them in a desired relation, spaced at one place to permit the manufacture of shoes according to certain styles and design and at the same time provide strength and comfort. It will be appreciated however that a desirable resiliency may be imparted to that portion of the shoe which lies justat the front or for ward portion of the arch by employing shank supports of the kind hereinillustrated.
What is claimed is: 1
'1. In a metal shank support forshoes the combination of a metal body, an angularly disposed end on said body and integral strips struck from the angularly turned portion of the body, said strips being disposed in spaced relationto said turned portion to provide a. slotted supporting surface in a plane spaced thereto. v
2. In a shank support the combination of an elongated metal body having strips cut therefrom at its anterior end and formed away from the body to increase the operative thickness of the metal body atone point for spacing superposed members at different disfabrication of the metal shank supports is I tances from one another at different places along the metal body.
3. A metal shank support having its for ward end slitted to. provide strips, said strips being alternately bent in opposite'directions.
4. A sheet metal shank support-having an angularly disposed end portion and integral strips struck therefrom and raised out of the plane of the angularly disposed portion to provide a supporting means spaced from the angularly disposed portion.
5. A metal shank support for shoes comprising a formed strip of sheet metal having its forward end enlarged and slitted to provide strips, adjacent strips being bent in opposite directions and providing spaced sup porting means for superposed shoe sole members between which the shank support ma be mounted. I I v In testimony whereof; I have hereunto subscribed my name this 9th day of March, 1928.
