Shoe Equipped With Internal Orthotic Cradle Device

US Patent:
5323549, Jun 28, 1994
Filed:
Aug 16, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/107238
Inventors:
Jerome D. Segel - Oak Bluffs MA
Michelle A. Segel - Oak Bluffs MA
Assignee:
Sports Licensing, Inc. - Hanover NH
International Classification:
A43B 714
US Classification:
36140
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a dynamically interactive combination of a shoe and an externally adjustable internal orthotic foot cradle formed of a fabric strap material. The disclosed combination attenuates and beneficially disperses the deforming forces experienced by the foot in weight bearing, limits the extent of pronation and excursions of the various joints of the mid and hind foot during weight bearing and the cradle can store mechanical energy absorbed during weight bearing and return at least a portion of such stored energy in the form of restorative forces applied to the mid and hind foot during the non-weight bearing phase of the gait cycle.

Orthotic For Use In Footwear

US Patent:
2012031, Dec 20, 2012
Filed:
Aug 24, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/593989
Inventors:
Jerome D. Segel - West Tisbury MA, US
International Classification:
A43B 13/38, A43B 7/22, A43B 7/16
US Classification:
36 91, 36 43, 36 92
Abstract:
An orthotic is disclosed. The orthotic has a convex element that has a periphery. The convex element is positioned in a plane. The periphery is structured and arranged to deform into a gap in at least of a horizontal, a vertical, or a lateral direction relative to the plane. The convex element is structured and arranged for placement between a plantar surface of a foot and a second surface. The gap is defined by a top surface of the convex element and a bottom surface of the foot or a bottom surface of a body of an insert. The periphery of the convex element is structured and arranged to deform into the gap as a force is applied to the body and to rebound as the force dissipates.

Dynaflange™

US Patent:
2010017, Jul 15, 2010
Filed:
Jan 12, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/321355
Inventors:
Jerome Dennis Segel - West Tisbury MA, US
International Classification:
A43B 7/14
US Classification:
36145
Abstract:
The DynaFlange™ controls foot function during stance and ambulation by absorbing shock in the gaps that form between an orthotic, shoe or heel cup and the DynaFlange™ 3 dimensional plate. Its flanges dynamically deform at impact causing the gaps between the concave heel cup and the convex DynaFlange™ to interact providing foot and ankle protection, repositioning and motion control while dynamically absorbing shock. It then returns to its original state which stabilizes and propels the foot actively, superior to other orthoses. DynaFlange™ is active at stance phase and earlier in gait cycle allowing improved biomechanicals when compared to other orthotics.
