While I have herein described 'in solne'detail a s ieeiie embodiment otmy invention, it will be apparent that the spirit ot my in vention is not limited to tho precise construetion shown and describedj7 and that minierous changes in the v)hysical embodiment of my invention may e made without deparH ture from its spirit and scopo.
Having thus described my invention,-what l claim and desireto secure by Letters Patent, of the United States: is:
1. In an instep-arch support, the combination with a springr metal plate longitudinally arehedto configuration approximating the normal arch of the human instep, ol a rigid tension device, connected to said plate at longitudinal points on opposite sides ol' the apex of the arch, and ar ringed lor operation to increase or decrease the height ol' the arch. 2. In a device of the character described, a foot plate, comprisingr two members articuiated on Aa transverse line, anda tension device connectingsueh members arranged tor operation to elevate or depress the point ol" articulation.
.In a device of the character described, a spring met-al plate longitudinally arc yd `to approximately the normal curve ot tl1e,areh
o' the human instep, and having eon'eeted therewith at relativelj,Y remote points on opposite sides of the apex of the arch a tension device, arranged for operation. to draw to gether or 'force apart the peints oi its connection on opposite sides of the apex ot the arched portion, the portion of the aroh he.
tween t 1e points oi attaehment ot said tension device being' vertically freefor spring action.
In a device ol the Character described, a' spring metal base plate longitudinal] `v arehed, and divided transversely into two sections, artieulated on a transverse line., and a turn buelile underlying` the areh and. crossing said hinged portion atjsuhstantiallv right angles, said turn buckle having' permanent eonnee tion'- at its opposite ends with the opposite I members ol` the articulated plate.
5. ln a. device ot the Character described, a spring metal base plate,limgitudinallj,T arched, and provided with an upturned side por tion Ztl, notched, as at i5, at .the apex of the longitudinal areh, and a tension adj usting device having,r opposite ends eonneeted with the )iate atpoints longitudinali)7 on. opposite sides of the ape); oit the arch.
in a device of the Character deseribed, a foot' plate, comprising;` two members arti-eun lated on a transverse line, and means for adjusting the angle of the members at the lin-eoi artieulation.
