BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The preferred embodiment illustrated is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed. It is chosen anddescribed in order to best explain the principles of the invention and its application and practical use to thereby enable others skilled in the art to best utilize the invention. for
Insole shown in FIGS. 1-3 is of multiple-layer sandwiched construction including a lower layer 12, an intermediate layer 14, an upper layer 16 and an optional covering 18. Lower layer 12 is formed of a resilient foam material, such as one-eighth inchthick closed cellular foamed polyethylene, and is adapted to extend from the heel of the foot to the toes thereof. Intermediate layer 14 is formed of a solid shape-retaining material, such as one-sixteenth inch thick solid sheet of polyethylene, and is adapted to extend from the heel of the foot to just rearwardly of the ball of the foot. Upper layer 16 is formed of a resilient foam material, such as one-fourth inch thick closed cellular foamed polyethylene, and is adapted toextend from the heel to the toes of the foot. Upper layer 16 is preferably perforated with the openings 13 therein providing an increased aerating effect. Layers 12, 14 and 16 are bonded together with the outer margins 20 of layers 12 and 16 extending beyond the marginal edge 22 of intermediate layer 14 and being bonded together. Covering 18,
which may be of leather or leather-like composition, is
applied to the upper surface of upper layer 16 so as to provide a wear surface for the insole.
Insole 10 includes a pair of upturned wings or tabs 24 which are located at opposite side edges of the insole. Tabs 24 serve to cradle the foot on its medial side at the arch and on its lateral side just rearwardly of the base of the tuberosity of the fifth metatarsal. Insole 10 is inserted into a shoe which is generally one-half to a full size larger than the ordinary shoe size of the user and is transferable from one pair of shoes to another. The insole of this invention can be utilized as a comfort aid for a normal foot or as a corrective aid for an ailing foot, in which case the insole may have portions thereof built up for the vehicles may be manufactured in widely different ways, and since such manufacture, and the a correction to the foot.
FIGS. 4A to 4H are illustrative of a method of forming the insole above described. A negative impression of the foot of the user is first obtained. This can be accomplished by utilizing a pressure sensitive block of plastic foam 30 which serves as an impression mold. Other forms of impression molds may have sand or clay impression taking material. The user places her foot 32,
' which is preferably socked, upon the mold as shown in FIG. 4A and applies sufficient pressure thereon to form a deep impression 34 of the foot in the mold material as shown in FIG. 4B. Impression 34 is then filled with the voids or the soft flesh part of the plantar or bottom of the foot. Ordinarily layer 14 would be cut so as to extend from the heel to just rearwardly of the ball of the foot. In this operation casting 38 is utilized as a guide with wings or tabs 24 being formed on opposite side edges of layer 14. After intermediate layer 14 has been sized, a sander or similar abrasive tool can be utilized to taper the edges of the layer.
Following the sizing of intermediate layer 14,lower layer 12 and upper layer 16 are cut from sheets of resilient foam material. Each of the layers 12 and 16 is cut to oversize and follows the general outline of the bottom of the users foot with tabs 24 formed on opposite side edges of each layer. Layers l2, l4 and 16 are then placed one on top of another, as shown in FIG. 4E, and bonded together at their confronting side faces by the utilization of a contact cement or other type bonding agent to form composite 41. Insole composite 41 is US. 16 with casting 38, which has preferably been coated with a varnish or similar sealer, to conform the composite to the shape of the casting. This conforming of the composite may be accomplished in any of several ways, such as by-providing a pressure sensitive foam block'39 upon which the heated composite is placed with layer 16 being uppermost. Casting 38 is placed upon composite 41 and pressed, as shown by arrows 40 in FIG. 4F ,against upper layer 16 to force the composite into the foam block and to cause the'composite layers to conform to the foot impression of the casting. The molded composite is then allowed to cool while in contact with casting 38 until set. Once set, the molded composite can be separated from the casting and permitted to further cool. The molded composite 41 is then trimmed to size and the edges feathered so as to accommodate insertion and fitting within the shoe of the user. Preferably, the front of composite 41 is trimmed so that the insole will only contact the bottom of the toes of the user while the heelportion and sides of. the composite will cup the foot of the user.
Covering l8 seen in FIG; 46 serves as a wear surface and is applied to the outer surface of upper layer 16 of the insole. The covering if formed ofleather is preferably wetted and stretched over the casting and dried prior to application to upper layer 16. To complete construction of the insole, covering 18 'is trimmed as illustrated in FIG. 4H.
It is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the details above given, but may be modified within the scope of the appended claims.
