Description

Feb. 28, 1933. M. M. HOGAN BUNION CORRECTIVE DEVICE Filed Jan. 20, 1931 Patented Feb. 28, 1933 UNITED STATES MARGARET M. HOGAN, OF IBINGHAMTON, NEW YORK .BUNION oormncrrvn .nnvron Application filed January 20, 1931. Serial No. 510,035.
The present invention is directed to improvements in bunion corrective devices.
The primary object of the invention is to provide a device of this character so constructed that it can be easily and quickly applied to the foot, the construction being such that the joint where the bunion occurs will be braced and retained in a straight condition. I
Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this character so constructed that it can be worn with comfort under the stocking with shoes, or, can be worn at night.
With these and other objects in View, this invention resides in the novel features of construction, formation, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device, showing it in place upon the foot.
Figure 2 is a similar view, the device being removed.
The device consists of a single length of elastic web of a predetermined width and length, the terminals thereof being stitched, as at 2.
The web is crossed at the points A and B, and stitched at these points, as at 3 and 4, in order to provide front and rear loops 5 and 6, respectively, and an intermediate loop 7. The loop 5 is relatively small in order that the first three toes, including the large toe, will be confined therein, and at which time the crossing point of the web at A will be positioned to engage the joint where the bunion occurs, thus providin a double thickness at this point to'more efi ectively act in correcting the bunion.
As clearly shown in Figure 1 of the drawing, the loop 6 encircles the ankle, while the upper stretch of the loop 7 extends diagonally across the instep while the lower stretch thereof extends diagonally across the ball of the foot. Since the web is formed from elastic material, the respective loops will yieldably retain the entire device in proper position upon the foot.
Obviously, the loop 5, due to itsyieldable characteristics, will tightly confine the three first toes to maintain the bunion joint in a straight condition, thereby holding the joint in a position to aid in correcting the bunion.
The construction is such that it can be worn at night or under the stocking with shoes or slippers without discomfort.
The device can be quicklyapplied to the foot upon simply passing the foot through the loop 6, thence through theloop 7, so that the toes will enter the loop 5.
As illustrated, the device is shown in "use upon the left foot, but it is capable of being turned or reversed for use upon the right foot,if desired.
What is claimed is:
A device of the class described comprising a single length of elastic web having its terminals secured together, said web being crossed at spaced points and stitched together at the crossings to provide a front loop, an 79 intermediate loop, and a rear loop, the front loop being adapted to encircle the first three toes including the large toe, the crossing of the web which forms the front loop being adapted to engage the joint where the bunion occurs and provides a double thickness of elastic web material at this point to form an elastic protective shield over the bunion, the front loop of the device being relatively small and sufficiently tight to confine the 80 three first toes in a straight condition thereby holding the joint of the great toe in position to aid in correcting the bunion, the intermediate loop of the material being adapted to encircle the ball of the foot, and the rear loop being adapted to encircle the ankle, the elasticity of the web material permitting the loops to readily conform to movements of the wearers foot.
