IN VENTO WITNESSES R (A/m ATTORNEY and my device. of the under side of the heel portion of my JOHN T. HAY, 0F LACKAWANNA, NEW YORK.
INNERSOLE, ARCH-SUPPORT, SHOE-CUSHION, AND VENTILATOR.'
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 30, 1919.
Application filed October 11, 1917. Serial No. 196,047.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN T. HAY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Lackawanna, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Innersole, Arch-Support, Shoe- Cushion, and Ventilator, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates'to an insertion to be placed within boots and shoes, and is adapted to form a ventilated inner sole, a cushion heel, means for supporting the arch of the foot and ventilating the shoe.
The object of my invention is to provide an attachment for shoes which will furnish ventilation for the interior of the shoe, as well as the sole of the foot, support the arch of the foot at all points, and provide a resilient cushion for the foot.
A further object of my invention is to provide. a combined insole, arch and cushion heel which when in use in shoes will keep the foot cool and comfortable and also prevent the foot from'perspiring.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent as the nature of my invention is hereinafter set forth.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through a shoe and through my device on the line A, A of Fig. 2, looking in the direction of the arrows. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the sole of a shoe Fig. 3 is a perspective view device.
Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
Referring to these numerals, 1 is the usual form of shoev upper attached to the sole 2 in the ordinary manner. 3 isan opening in the sole of the shoe in its arch portion and preferably toward the inner edge of the sole. 4.- is a thimble inserted in opening 3 and hav ing a collar 5 to one edge of which is movably attached the cover 6, which has a projection in the center thereof, so that the opening in the thimble 4 may be closed at will. The upper edge of the thimble 4, after being inserted through the opening 3, 'is riveted over to hold the thimble firmly in the sole. I
7 is the ordinary heel of a shoe attached in the usual manner.
8 is an inner sole composed of two thicknesses of material and having a sole portion 9, an instep or arch portion 10, and a heel portion 11. The upper thickness 12 of inner sole 8 is provided with ventilating holes 13, 13, etc. The under thickness of inner sole 8 is provided with channels or grooves 14, 14, etc., which register with ventilating holes 13, 13, etc., for supplying air to the inside of the shoe through opening 3 in the sole of a shoe. The arch portion 10 is provided with a lip extended upward, as shown, to support the inner part of the arch of the foot. 15 is a steel spring riveted to the inner sole 8 to give strength to the arch portion 10. 16 is hollow rubber tube fastened to the heel portion 11 of inner sole 8 by rivets 17, 17 and strip 18 and rivets 19, 19. Tube 16 is attached, as shown, around the edge of heel portion 11 and is made to assume the shape of a horseshoe.
My device is designed so that it may be easily placed in a shoe or removed therefrom as the occasion may require.
It is apparent that changes in the form and structure of my invention, as shown, may be made without departing from the spirit thereof.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In a device of the character described, the combination with a shoe havin a circular opening in the shank thereof: and a circular cover pivoted at the edge of said opening, of an inner sole composed of two thicknesses of material, the upper thickness provided with a plurality of ventilating holes to register with the ventilatin I a manner that said ventilating holes are di- I ;-holes,
the lower thickness having branching channels in the sole portion thereof extending lengthwise of said sole in such a manner that said ventilating holes are directly overportions of said channels as well as a the termination of the same, the heel porti n of said lower thickness havlng holes in the heel portion of said upper thic mess, a metal strip attached to the under side of said innersole so as to strengthen the arch portion of said innersole and a resilient tube fastened to theunder side of the heel portion of the innersole and around the edge thereof.v 2. A removable innersole for shoes, composed of two thicknesses of material, the upper thickness provided with a plurality of 'entilating holes, the lower thickness having branching channels in the sole portion thereof, extending lengthwise of saidsole in such rectly over portions of said channels, as well as over the ends of said channels, the heel and a art of the shank portions of said lower t hickness having holes of the same size and to register with the ventilating holes in the heel and a part of the shank portion of said upper thickness, tached to the underside of said innersole to strengthen the arch portion of said innersole and a resilient tube fastened to the a metal plece atedge of the "underside of the heel portion of the said innersole to form a cushion and an air circulating medium. 3. In a device of the character described, the combination of a shoe, having an opening in the shank thereof, a cover pivoted at the edge of said opening, the center of said cover having a projection to move said cover in or out of register with said opening, an inner sole composed of two thicknesses of material, the upper thickness provided with a lurality'of ventilating. holes, the lower thickness having branching chan nels in the sole portion thereof, one of which is directly over said opening; and which extends lengthwise of said sole in such a manner that said ventilating holes are directly over portions of said channels, and at the termination thereof, the heel portion of a said lower thickness having holes to register with the ventilating holes in the upper thickness, a metal strip attached to, and for the purpose of strengthening the arch portion of said inner sole, and a resilient tube fastened to. the undersideof the heel portion of the inner sole, and around the edge thereof.
