My invention relates to means for supporting the arches of the feet.
The object of my invention is to provide a proper tarsal support which can be used withcomfort by the wearer, is light in weight, and made of soft flexible yielding material.
A further object is to provide a tarsal sup port that is sanitary, and that may be used in a shoe or slipper, or independent thereof, and embodies means for holding it to the foot of the user.
Referring to the drawings which form a part of this specification,
Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional View of a tarsal support shown in position in a shoe, the lower part of the shoe being shown in section.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the sup port illustrated in Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a cross sectional view, taken on line 3-3 of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a side view of aimodified form of construction embodying my invention.
A, indicates a shoe, the near side of which is broken away to disclose a tarsal support B, located in proper position therein, and shown in longitudinal section.
My preferred construction comprises a body portion of felt formed as illustrated in Figure 2, and having a vertically extending flap portion B formed integral with the body at each side thereof near its front end, as shown, the outer side being formed flush with the outer edge portion of the body portion,
The part B is adapted'to rest under the heel and is made to fit the shoe, and is about %;ths inch thick, and the front end B is about 7 the same in thickness. The portion 13* is preferably made about ,ths inch thickness for general distribution, but maybe more or'less in cases requiring more or less support for the arch of the foot.
The outer surface is preferably inclined as shown at C and D. p
' The top surface of the feltis preferably covered with a thin water-proof fabric E, secured thereto by sewing, or by a rubber cement, and prevents the felt from becoming soiled or absorbing perspiration.
, A band F is secured to the bottomof the claim as new 1" body portion, and extends over the instep of the wearer to hold the support in position on the foot, and by its use the support may be worn on the bare foot of the wearer if desired.
In Figure 4, the pad portion B is located below the medium line on the under side of the support instead of above the medium line,
as shown in Figures 1,2 and and this form is preferred for womens wear, due tothe high heelsgenerally used with womens shoes; however, either form will support the tarsal members of a foot in a proper manner.
The supports are made in several sizes and dimensions, and therefore the proper size may be selected to fit the persons requiring when worn on a bare foot, or without a shoe or slipper. 1 i 1 r a Felt is preferred as it does not absorb moisture and odors as readilyas cotton, but cot-- ton matted maybe used if desired.
This support affords great comfort in use and is cheap and durable. I 5
