ARCH SUPPORTER Filed July 29, 1951 Patented Sept. 13, 1932 umrso STATES FRANK J. MONAGHAN, or PERTH armor; NEW JERSEY ARCH surron'rnn.
Application filed July 29,
The employment of arch supports to relieve arch foot trouble is common. But the kind in use being nonadjustable in many cases cannot be worn without discomfort to the wearer on account of the nonadjustability. The object of the present invention is to over; come this objection by making the support adjustable, and in other ways make the arch support practicable and wearable.
The invention further comprehends a mechanism of the character set forth which is capable of being rendered active and serviceable and which is an integral part of human footwear and which functions by simply wearing the same.
The invention aims at a still further object than the above mentioned advantages that is a mechanism, simple in construction, inexpensive to produce and install and which is thoroughly reliable and efficient.
Keeping the above in mind reference is had to the following specification and accompanying drawing in which there is shown one example or embodiment of the invention, which is in no way intended as a limitation on the scope of the appended claims, as it is to be clearly understood that variations and modifications which properly fall within the scope of said claims may be resorted to when found expedient.
Figure 1 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view of a shoe, illustrating an adjustable arch support, constructed in accordance with the invention associated herewith.
Figure 2 is a similar view, illustrating the operation of the device.
Figure 3 is a view of the device, apart from its position in the shoe.
Referring to the drawing by characters of reference 1 designates a shoe, 2 designates the arch support, 3 designates the shaft, 4 the hinge by which the shaft is connected to the arch support, 5 the sleeve imbedded in leather of the heel, 6 the leather of the shoe heel, and 7 the rubber of the shoe heel. The arch support 2 comprises a pad of hard substance which may be faced with soft, cushion material, shaped to the contour of the instep of the engaged foot.
Figure 2 shows the invention as outlined 1931. Serial No. 553,810.
above the rest. This position is known by the fact that arch support 7 is hugging the floor of the shoe and also that the shaft 3 is ex tending beyond the heel line 9 and protrudes as at 16. c
Now when a shoe, equipped with the improvement, is placed on a foot and is e1nployed in walking, shaft 3 to the distance of 16 is pushed into 5 which movement in turn is transferred through hinge 4 to the support 2 which in turn is lifted against the encumbent foot arch to the height of 16 beyond 9. Hence it is obvious that the arch is independently supported by the device.
Figure 3 illustrates how. the device is adjusted in height. 2 is an arch supporter. 8 is a threaded male shaft. 4 is a hinged joint at which point 2 is made integral with 8. 3 is a female shaft to accommodate 8. 7
What is claimed is- 1. An adjustable means for supporting the weight impounded upon the arches of human feet, while in the act of walking, comprising a pad made of hard substance, shaped to V the contour of the instep of the engaged foot, 75 to one end of which is attached a shaft by means of a hinge which shaft penetrates through the leather of the heel and also the rubber of the heel through a suitable opening to the outer surface and a little beyond, 80 the distance of the adjustment, and this extension is acted upon by any hard surface with which it comes into contact as the wearer walks, which movementis transmitted by the r shaft to the arch support and so to the arch dependent upon it.
2. Anadjustable means for supporting the weight impounded upon the arches of human feet, while in the act of walking, comprising a pad made of hard substance, shaped to the contour of the instep of the engaged foot, to one end of which is attached a shaft by means of a hinge, which shaft penetrates through the leather of the heel and also the '95 rubber of the heel through a suitable opening to the outer surface and a little beyond, the distance of the adjustment, which shaft is encased in a bushing of hard material that does not extend beyond the leather heel and through which the shaft moves Vertically While functioning.
3. As a new article of manufacture, an arch supporter comprising a plate adapted to be positioned Within a shoe over the arch portion of the sole, and a member depending from the, plate for insertion through an opening in the, sole of the shoe, said member being of a length for contact with the surface upon Whichthe shoe is resting, said member by such contact providinga support for the plate independently of the soleoofflthe o o shoe.
