摘要: An orthopedic apparatus and footwear for distributing weight evenly so as to relieve pressure and discomfort from the ball, arch and heel region of the wearer's foot. This is accomplished by first and second embodiments in which two substantially parallel plates are mounted between an inner sole and an outer sole. The parallel plates are spaced apart by a spacer which is located at a point or region of attachment between the two plates in the arch region of the footwear. The lower plate is rigid and the upper plate is flexible. A layer of easily deformable foam material is provided between the two plates. In the first embodiment, sole spacers are provided in the toe region of the footwear. As a result of the attachment configuration, the plates are cantilever mounted both extending forward and rearward from the arch region. In operation, the flexing of the forward cantilever portion of the flexible plate relative to the rigid plate cushions the ball region and redistributes weight rearward from the ball of the foot and the flexing of the rearward cantilever portion of the flexible plate relative to the rigid plate cushions the heel region and redistributes weight forward from the heel of the foot. A third embodiment also uses a flexible plate and a rigid plate which are attached at an acute angle in the arch region and extend forward toward the ball region. A wedge is provided between the two plates. The flexing of the flexible plate relative to the rigid plate cushions the ball region and redistributes weight rearward from the ball of the foot. The first and second embodiments can be modified as in the third embodiment to provide parallel plates which only extend forward from the arch region, with spacers provided in the rearward region behind the arch.

摘要: The normal oxford type shoe of a man or woman includes a sole and heel. A separate heel is usually attached to the back half of the sole. Most shoes have some arch support built in the shoe to conform to the arch of the foot. The improvement comprises a heel connected to a plate under the arch and a spring steel plate under the arch and the heel area. The original heel of the shoe is removed.

摘要: An orthopedic apparatus and footwear for distributing weight evenly so as to relieve pressure and discomfort from the ball, arch and heel region of the wearer's foot. This is accomplished by first, second, fourth and fifth embodiments in which two substantially parallel plates are mounted between an inner sole and an outer sole. The parallel plates are spaced apart by a spacer which is located at a point or region of attachment between the two plates in the arch region of the footwear. The lower plate is rigid and the upper plate is flexible. A layer of easily deformable foam material is provided between the two plates. In the first embodiment, sole spacers are provided in the toe region of the footwear. As a result of the attachment configuration, the plates are cantilever mounted both extending forward and rearward from the arch region. In operation, the flexing of the forward cantilever portion of the flexible plate relative to the rigid plate cushions the ball region and redistributes weight rearward from the ball of the foot and the flexing of the rearward cantilever portion of the flexible plate relative to the rigid plate cushions the heel region and redistributes weight forward from the heel of the foot. A third embodiment also uses a flexible plate and a rigid plate which are attached at an acute angle in the arch region and extend forward toward the ball region. A wedge is provided between the two plates. The flexing of the flexible plate relative to the rigid plate cushions the ball region and redistributes weight rearward from the ball of the foot. The first, second, fourth and fifth embodiments can be modified as in the third embodiment to provide parallel plates which only extend forward from the arch region, with spacers provided in the rearward region behind the arch. The fourth and fifth embodiments provide a toe spacer structure in the toe region of the orthopedic apparatus and footwear.

摘要: An adjustable seat for a spa. The spa has a seating or lounge area formed thereon of such shape and dimensions as to permit a person of typical physical dimensions to be seated in a lounging position. A nozzle is provided in the seating region of the lounge. A mixture of air and water flow through the nozzle and communicate with a plenum formed in the underside of a seat having one or more holes therein and fitted over the nozzle. The flow of air in combination with water serves to elevate the seat. An air valve serves to regulate the quantity of air drawn in by the water flowing through the nozzle, which, in turn, regulates the elevation of the seat. The lounge spa can be made as an original equipment unit. Alternatively, a seating system may be provided which is adapted to be retrofitted to an existing spa.
