UNITED STATES PA ENT oFFICE.
WILLIAM R. LEE, OF ROCHESTER, NEW YORK.
ARCH-SUPPORT.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM R. LEE, of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Arch-Supports; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and to the reference numerals marked thereon.
The present invention relates to a support adapted to be inserted within a shoe for the purpose of preventing strains on the arch of a human foot, and an object of this invention is to provide a construction which may be adapted to the individual needs of a wearer by providing a height increasing member which may be easily removed but when in proper osition will be securely retained against displacement.
To these and other ends the invention consists in certain improvements and combinations of parts all as will be hereinafter more fully described, the novel features being pointed but in the claims at the end of the specification.
In the drawings: Figure 1 is a plan vlew of the arch support constructed. in accord ance with this inventionyFig. 2 is a section on the line a-a of Fig.1; Fig. 3 is a section on the line bb of Fig. 1, and Fig. 4'is' a detail view of one of the height increasing members. i
The arch support comprises preferably two layers I and 2 of sheet material secured together by stitches 3 or other suitable means along the greater portion of their edges, the inner side preferably being left unstitched in order to provide a pocket 4 which opens at the inner side of the support to receive a suitable height increasing member 5. This height increasing member may be of any suitable form and material, but it is preferably wedge-shaped and made of yielding material, such as felt, and the thickness or height of the member varies with the individual needs of the user.
In order to prevent accidental displacement of the height incre'asin member and at the same time to permit the latterto be readily inserted or removed, one of the parts of the device, in this instance the main sup- Specification of LettersPatent.

port, is, provided with a flexible tongue 6 adapted to be inserted through a slit 7 formed in the other part. Preferably this tongue is formed by cutting the material ;of the upper wall of the pocket, thus providing an opening 8 which permits the tongue to be manipulated from the exteriorof the support and introduced-into the slit 7 of the height increasing member 5. The
tongue preferably extends in a direction away from the opening of the pocket so that any tendency of the member 5 to move in the direction of the pocket opening is resisted as the tongue will then move farther into the slit in the member 5. Of course, to remove the member 5 the tongue must first be withdrawn from the slit and this is done by manipulating the tongue through the open-- ing 8. a
An arch support constructed in accordance with this invention permits the wearer to obtain a height for the support corresponding to his individual needs and desires. The adjustment of the support is quickly and easily obtained and there is no liability of the height increasing member accidentally shifting to an undesirable posit-ion. The construction by which these results are obtained is simple to operate and is inexpensive to manufacture.
I claim as my invention:
1. An insertible arch support for shoes having a pocket therein opening at one edge of the support, a flexible finger being provided on a wall of the pocket and projecting in a direction away from the opening.
2. An insertible arch support for shoes formed of two pieces of sheet material sec'ured together along the greater portion of their edges and separated along the other portion to provide a pocket between them, one wall of the pocket being provided with a flexible finger cut from one of the pieces of sheet material.
3. An insertible arch support for shoes having a pocket therein opening at one edge of the support, the upper wall of the ocket being provided with an opening an with a flexible finger operablethrough said opening to secure a height increasing member in the pocket.
