Description
May 12; 1931. F. TEMLER ARCH SUPPORT FOR SHOES Filed April 24. 1929 Patented May 12, 1931 UNITED STATES i FRIEDRICH TEMLER, or COLOGlXTE-NIPPES, AN f ARCH SUPPORT SHOES Application filed April 24, 1929, Serial No. 357,668, an-din Germany meats s, 1 9 8.
The object of this invention is to provide an arch support for boots and shoes, which can very readily be renewed or changed when required, but is neverthelessheld securely in position, when in use, so that it is not liable to shift and become uncomfortable.
To this end I use a-substantially flat retaining spring, attached to the shoe sole and havinga socket at each end, and an arched foot supporting spring, the ends of which engage into the said sockets, but can readily be removed therefrom when required. The retaining spring may be attached to the under side of the insole, the latter, however, having openings for the sockets, so that the sockets are accessible from top. The ends of the arched foot supporting spring can only enter the sockets to a limited extent, so that the spring is maintained, under pressure, in its arched state, even if made comparatively light and easily flexible.
An arch support according to the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a plan view of the insole, without the foot supporting spring.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the retaining spring, and
Fig. 3 is a side view thereof.
Fig. 4 is a plan view of the insole with the foot supporting spring in position, indicating also by a broken line the outline of a leather or like pad which may be attached to the foot supporting spring.
Fig. 5 is a plan view of the foot supporting spring, and
Fig. 6 is a side view thereof.
In the drawings a represents the insole and e the substantially flat retaining spring, which has rivet holes 6 for attaching it to the underside of the insole by means of rivets 12 The spring 6 has at its ends sockets d and c, and the insole has 0 eningsa corresponding in shape to the outlines of the sockets, whereby the sockets are rendered aecessible from the top. The socket c is formed by bending over two lateral flanges c ofgaplate in which the spring terminates, and there is a gap :between :the'edges of these flanges, so that the socket is open at th-etop. V f The arched foot supporting spring, designated ,f in the drawing, has attached-thereto, by rivets l, a leather pad 70,, only the outline of which "is-indicated by a broken line in Fig. 4. The front end i of the spring 7 is .55 taper ethso thatit can enter the socket d to a limited extent. At the rear the spring f terminates in a Lug m narrower than the gap between the-flanges 0 This lug carries, by means of a rotatable, notched stud g, a short, fiat ibarh, which can be set parallel with the lug, :to pass through the slot into the socket, andcan then be rotated to engage under the edges of the flanges 0 whereby the lifting of thespring f is prevented. The two shoulders f ofthe spring f, at the inner end of the lug are unable to :enter the socket c, and thus limit the extent to which the. spring f can be extended by the pressure of the foot. v For applying the arched spring 7 to the shoe the tapered end z' of thespring is first inserted into the socket cl, and then the lug is dropped into the socket c,the bar it be; ing forthis purpose placed parallel with the lug, but being subsequently rotated into the position shown in Figs l and 5,130 engage the spring with the socket.
What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent, of'the United States is V 1.
