ATHLETIC ARCH SUPPORT.
Application filed August 29, 1921, Serial No. 496,448. Renewed July 23, 1925. r
This invention relates to supporting means for arches, and the chief object thereof is to provide an arch support which will strengthen the arch of the wearer and permit the wearer to indulge in greater activity than is possible without the support and to lessen the amount of fatigue.
The chief feature of the invention consists in the use of a foot-enclosing band W provided with arch-supporting padding.
The full nature of the invention will be understood from the accompanying drawings and the following description and claim.
In the drawings, Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a foot showing the invention applied to the same. Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view of the invention. Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view of a modified form of the invention.
In the drawings 10 indicates a foot having an arch 11 and ball 12. The device is adapted to be positioned adjacent the arch 11 and between the ball 12 and the heel and ankle of the foot 10 and enclose the arched portion of the foot.
The particular construction of the athletic arch supporter includes a foot-enclosing or enveloping band or strip of fabric having a base portion 21 and the free ends 22. The free ends 22 of the fabric band or other material which will conform to the foot are secured together by suitable means, that herein shown being the lacing 23. The edges of the ends 22 are reenforced by the strips 24 and said reenforced portion is providcd with eyelets 25 for receiving the lacing 23. In order to prevent chafing of the lacing and the eyelets upon the foot, the tongue or protecting flap 26 is suitably secured to the strip or band 20 so as to protect the foot in the manner indicated.
To the base 21 of the band 20 thereis secured a pocket member 27 adapted to contain suitable padding or cushioning means 28 of felted material, and as shown in Fig. 2 a second pocket 29 is superimposed upon the pocket 27 and contains another pad 30.
In the modification shown in Fig. 3, it will be noted that but one pocket and one pad is illustrated. Suitable protective, and if desired, reenforcing edging 31 may be associated with the elongated edges of the enveloping band.
The invention'claimed is:
An adjustable arch support including a fabric strip, a pocket positioned on said fabric intermediate the ends thereof for supporting the arch of the foot, felted pad means in said pocket for reinforcing the arch, lacing means for securing the ends of the fabric strip together in band formation and in compression upon the foot, and a tongue secured to one end of the fabric and extending beyond the same and the other end to protect the foot from the lacing and the gap between the fabric ends.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto aflixed my signature.
