The present application is a divisional application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 47,657, filed May 8, 1987, and issued as U.S. Pat. No. 4,888,841 on Dec. 26, 1989.
The present invention relates to insoles and in particular to custom insoles for support and cushioning of a user's feet. The invention specifically relates to a method and apparatus for molding such insoles.
Activities which concern locomotion of the human body, such as walking, running and involvement in various athletic activities, place stress on the bones and joints of the leg and foot. These stresses can be quite great, and can be harmful if the bones and joints of the foot are not supported properly.
One method of providing support for the foot is through the utilization of standardized or universal insole cushions and arch supports. While these do provide some support and comfort, due to their standardization and lack of customization they are inadequate for many uses. In particular, since the shape of feet vary greatly, as well as people's weight, weight distribution, leg structure and knee structure, standardized inserts and arch supports lack universal utility with optimized results.
Custom insole systems have been developed. An example is the FOOT TECH Custom Insole system developed by Foot Technology, Inc., the assignee of the present invention. Generally, the FOOT TECH system involves the construction of a mold of the user's foot. The mold is typically kept by the manufacturer and is used to custom mold shoe inserts. Such inserts may include, for example, a custom molded arch support, a heel section and a toe section.
Such custom methods and arrangements have been available for a considerable period of time and have been highly effective. However, a problem with such methods is that they are generally inconvenient to the end user and are relatively expensive. Thus, while they suit the professional athlete fairly well, they are generally unacceptable to many lay persons.
More convenient and inexpensive custom molding systems have been developed. One such arrangement is known as the CONFORM'ABLE system from SIDAS, apparently available through Bio-Dynamics, Inc. of Concord, New Hampshire 03301. This system is generally used for mountaineering-type footwear and ski-wear. The insole is a thermal-molded product. The product is heated until it becomes moldable, and then it is stepped upon by the user. As the insole cools, it forms to the user's feet. Generally, the system involves placing the insole upon a foam molding pad having a built-up arch support portion. The molding pad permits the heated insert to conform to the user's feet. The arch support molds an arch curve into the insert. An advantage to this arrangement is that the inserts can be formed in a matter of minutes; for example, in a shoe store or a sporting goods store.
Another insole molding system is available from Peterson Laboratories of Lake Placid, New York. Peterson offers a BIOCOMFORT system in which an insert is molded, upon a pillow, in the shoe store. The Peterson pillow is designed such that a forward portion of the foot rests upon very little cushion, during molding, whereas the heel portion of the foot is on an apparently soft, considerably built-up pillow. Peterson also has offered a related BIOTHOTIC system in which an impression of the foot is molded in a low density polyethylene sheet. The sheet material, after molding, apparently is used as a core for a shoe insert, which is later manufactured.
These and similar methods are directed to the development of a method for conveniently, relatively rapidly and inexpensively forming a custom insert for shoes. The methods generally involve attempts to solve the two interrelated problems of:
1. Providing for preparation of a custom insert in a relatively short period of time, at low expense; and
2. Providing of a molding method by which a properly supportive insert is formed.
Various insert materials have been developed, to aid in molding and operation of the finished product.
In general, while available methods approach desirable low-cost, easily made custom inserts, there has been need for improvement in the general areas outlined above. The present invention in particular addresses these problems.
Therefore, the objects of the present invention are: to provide a method and apparatus for molding shoe inserts; to provide a preferred insert for relatively easy and inexpensive molding by such a method and apparatus; to provide a method of molding shoe inserts involving the utilization of a multi-layer molding support for the user; to provide a preferred such a molding support comprising an upper layer of a first resiliency and a lower layer of a second resiliency; to provide such an apparatus wherein the upper resilient layer comprises a soft foam and the second lower layer comprises a more firm foam; to provide such an arrangement wherein a user steps upon a left set of cushions with one foot and a right set of cushions with another foot during typical use; to provide such an arrangement wherein the upper soft foam layers are sufficiently soft to substantially wrap around a user's foot during molding; to provide such a method and arrangement wherein the lower, more firm, layer provides a substantially firm yet cushioned support underneath the more soft layer, for efficient molding; to provide a particularly effective stand apparatus for use in implementation of such a method; and, to provide such a method, apparatus and insert which are relatively inexpensive to produce and use, and which are particularly well adapted for the proposed uses thereof. Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the following descriptions, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein are set forth by way of illustration and example certain embodiments of the present invention.
A method is provided for forming custom insoles. The method generally involves the use of a molding pillow arrangement and moldable inserts.
In a typical operation, the molding pillow arrangement is oriented so that it can be stepped upon by a user. Preferably, the pillow arrangement comprises first and second composite pillow members or portions, each having two cushion or pillow layers and a rigid support layer.
For the preferred embodiment, each of the two pillow members has a rigid lower support formed from styrofoam or the like. The lower support preferably has a constant lateral cross-section and a rear to front downward curve. The downward curve generally corresponds to a generic arch curve and conveniently provides for a molded insole with a raised heel utilizable, comfortably, in shoes with or without raised heels.
For the preferred embodiment two cushion layers are positioned above the lower support layer. The resiliency and/or firmness of the two cushion layers preferably differ from one another, in a preferred manner. Specifically, the uppermost cushion layer is softer than the central or lower cushion layer. For the preferred embodiment, each of the cushions is of a constant cross-section both laterally and from front-to-rear. In use they are supported with a curved shape, as a result of resting upon the lower curved rigid support portion.
As a result of having a relatively soft structure, the upper cushion or layer operably wraps substantially around the foot of a person who stands thereon. This causes deformation of a moldable insert positioned between the user's foot and the cushion, to comfortably wrap around the foot of the user and mold the insert into conformity with the shape of the user's foot. In particular, this arrangement provides for a relatively deep heel portion and a well-defined arch support section.
As previously described, the central or lower a cushion layer of the preferred embodiment is firmer or of greater resiliency than the upper layer. This relatively firm layer cushions a user standing upon the pillow arrangement and generates a good molding of the bottom of the insert to the bottom of the user's feet, particularly in the arch and toe areas. The relatively firm construction of the lower cushion layer facilitates weight distribution.
In the preferred embodiment the upper and lower cushion layers are separable from one another. As a result, a technician can slip his or her hand, or an implement, between the two layers during a molding operation. In this manner the position of a foot of a person standing upon the cushions can be adjusted. Further a molded shape of an insert can be modified, enhanced and controlled.
As previously indicated, for the preferred embodiment the molding pillow arrangement is separated into first and second sides or halves. Generally, the user stands upon the arrangement with one foot on one half and the other foot on the other half. At least the upper cushion, and preferably both the upper and the central cushions, are disjointed from one another along the line separating the two halves. As a result, the two upper cushions are free to form and mold about each of the user's feet, independently.
In the preferred embodiment, for typical use the pillow arrangement is oriented within a stand. The stand includes arm rests and a knee-positioning mechanism. The knee positioning mechanism can be utilized to selectively orient a person standing upon the pillows, before molding is undertaken. The arm supports help the user to securely stand upon the yielding cushions.
The preferred knee positioning mechanism is a cushioned bar which is adjustable vertically, and also toward and away from a user. This system is advantageous since it can be rapidly adjusted by a technician, an can comfortably accommodate a variety of users.
In a typical use, the left and right molding cushions are positioned within a recess in the stand. The user stands upon the pillows and his or her feet are appropriately oriented upon the pillows. The user then steps off of the pillows and a heated, deformable, insole insert is placed on each of the pillow members.
The user then steps upon the inserts, repositioning his or her feet in the previously determined preferred orientation according to markers on the pillows and through use of the knee-positioning mechanism. The user remains standing upon the moldable inserts until molding is completed. This generally takes two to five minutes. The user then steps off of the molded inserts, the inserts are trimmed as necessary and are then readily usable by insertion into the user's shoes. During the molding operation, the technician may insert a hand or object between the cushions to selectively adjust positioning of the foot or molding of the insert.
Preferred inserts according to the present invention are composite structures and may be of varying types. An often preferred composite includes a lower thermoplastic layer which is soft, and flexible but which retains its molded shape at and near room temperature and which becomes relatively moldable when heated. The next layer may preferably include a rigid material such as a piece of polyvinylchloride plastic arch support which can be molded after having been heated. The next layer above the moldable portion(s) is preferably a cushioning or shock-absorbing layer, generally comprising a polymeric cushion or the like. Above the shock absorbing layer, and typically adjacent the user's feet, is located a top member comprising nylon or the like which permits the user's foot to breathe and which can readily absorb moisture and provide a comfortable surface. Other cushion layers may be utilized, as desired. Further, while rigid arch supports may be prescribed, they are not required in all instances.
In some applications of the present invention the composite insole insert may include means providing for the mounting of a medical support therein. This can be accomplished by providing for separability between several of the composite layers, and by providing an insert positionable therein.
The drawings constitute a part of this specification and include exemplary embodiments of the invention, while illustrating various objects and features thereof. In some instances relative component sizes or material thicknesses may be shown exaggerated, for clarity.

As required, detailed embodiments of the present invention are disclosed herein. It is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, which may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but rather as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed structure.
The reference numeral 1, FIG. 1, generally designates an overall apparatus utilizable in association with the principles of the present invention. The apparatus 1 comprises a stand 2 having a molding pillow arrangement 3 therein. Specific advantages, according to the present invention, are obtained from the particular molding pillow arrangement 3 described and shown.
In FIG. 1, apparatus 1 is shown in a typical orientation for use in molding insoles. In FIG. 1, composite insoles 5 are shown oriented for molding. According to the present invention, the insoles 5 are heated, until moldable, and are positioned on the pillow arrangement 3, as shown. A user then stands upon the insoles 5 molding same. The user typically remains standing upon the insoles 5 until the insoles 5 sufficiently cool to a molded state in which they will remain.
Referring again to FIG. 1, stand 2 includes a base or pedestal portion 10, left and right handrail extensions 11 and 12 respectively, and a knee positioning mechanism 15.
The right handrail extension 12 comprises first and second upward extensions 18 and 19 with hand rail 20 extending therebetween. Preferably hand rail 20 is supported at a convenient height for use in steadying a person standing upon pillow arrangement 3. Generally handrail 20 is typically positioned at a height between hip and waist level for most users.
Similarly, left handrail extension 11 comprises upward extensions 21 and 22 and hand rail 23.
Base 10 includes a front portion 25, a rear portion 26 and left and right side portions 27 and 28 respectively. The base 10 includes an upper recess 30, defined by border or curb 31, in which molding pillow arrangement 3 is received during use. Recess 30 insures secure positioning of members of the molding pillow arrangement 3, inhibiting their unintended movement during use.
Knee positioning system 15 includes an adjustable bar 36. The bar 36 includes a cushion 37 thereon, which is pressed against a user's knees during a molding operation. The cushion 37 has an outer covering 38 of nylon or the like, for convenience.
The bar 36 is vertically positionable and is movable toward and away from a user. Also, the bar 36 is rotationally adjustable. For the preferred embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, the bar 36 is vertically adjustable, by means of clamps 39, in slots 40 and 41. The bar 36 can be moved toward and away from a person standing within apparatus 1, by means of adjustment of clamps 42 in slots 43 and 44. Rotational adjustment is also facilitated by clamps 42.
The mechanism for adjusting knee positioning is preferred over conventional systems for numerous reasons. First, it can be adjusted forward and back. Secondly, it can be rapidly adjusted. Also, both knees can be quickly adjusted and are comfortably supported. Adjustment in positioning of a user's knees can be used to selectively orient the position of and weight distribution on a user's feet, as a user stands upon molding pillow arrangements 3. As a result, a selected, reproducible, position for a user can be set, prior to placing a moldable insert underneath a user's feet. This will be further described below.
Referring again to FIG. 1, non-slip mats 55 and 56 are shown mounted on sides 27 and 28. During operation of apparatus 1 should it become necessary for a user to straddle recess 30, non-slip pads 55 and 56 facilitate security and safety.
Referring to FIG. 1, molding pillow arrangement 3 for the preferred embodiment comprises first and second pillow members 59 and 60. Members 59 and 60 comprise a left pillow member 59 and a right pillow member 60. For the preferred embodiment the two pillow members 59 and 60 are independent of one another, both being positioned in recess 30.
Pillow members 59 and 60, for the preferred embodiment, are composite members with substantial advantages being obtainable from the composite arrangement. Referring to FIG. 1, member 59 is shown comprising first, second and third layers 65, 66 and 67 respectively. Layer 67 is a relatively rigid base having an upper surface 70. Member 67 has a substantially constant lateral cross-section, FIG. 3. However, it has a downwardly slanted curve therein, from rear to front, which supports the contour of the longitudinal arch areas with respect to heel height.
In FIG. 4, a side cross-sectional view of pillow member 60 is shown. Pillow member 60 includes first, second and third layers 75, 76 and 77 respectively. Member 77 is a rigid layer substantially identical to member 67, FIG. 1. Arch curve 78 is viewable in FIG. 4 sloping downwardly from a rear heal portion 79 to a front toe portion 80 of rigid member 77. For the preferred embodiment, curve 78 approximates an arch curve for a person having a shoe with a slightly raised heel. Typically the heel area is raised over the toe area a total of between about one-quarter and three-quarter inches, and preferably is raised about one-half inch.
Preferably, members 67 and 77 are easily formable from a relatively inexpensive, available material. For the preferred embodiment, members 67 and 77 are formed from styrofoam. As a result, members 67 and 77 do not substantially compress when stood upon by a user. Preferred members 67 and 77 may be cut from a single rectangular piece of styrofoam, with cutting between side edges simultaneously forming both pieces. As a result of being formed from relatively inexpensive styrofoam, members 67 and 77 can be readily discarded and/or replaced as necessary.
Referring again to FIG. 1, layers 65 and 66 are compressible layers. That is, each of layers 65 and 66 compress when they are stood upon by a user. Preferably each is formed from a foam material such as a polyurethane foam rubber or the like. Layers 65 and 75 are formed from a relatively soft foam with advantages resulting therefrom, as will be discussed in more detail below. Members 66 and 67, the central or lower members, are formed from a foam which is harder or firmer than layers 65 and 75. The provision of a pillow member having upper and lower resilient layers of different resiliency, with the upper layer being softer, yields particular advantages according to the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, upper layer 65 includes an outer covering 81 formed from nylon or the like. An analogous covering may be used on the lower layer 66. The covering provides an easily cleanable covering for the cushion(s). Further, it may be readily marked or imprinted, as for example with markings 82 utilizable to selectively position the user's foot and the insert 5. Another advantage to covering 81 is that it protects foam 65 from damage and further provides a protective coating for the hot moldable insert 5.
Advantages obtained from the relatively soft upper layer of foam will be understood by reference to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4. Referring to FIG. 2, upper layers 65 and 75 are shown laterally spaced from one another, with a user 85 standing thereon. Since the foam of the upper layers is relatively soft, the user's feet will substantially sink therein, with the foam wrapp substantially up and around the user's foot. Layer 65 can wrap around the user's left foot, and independently layer 75 can wrap around the user's right foot, since the two foam members 65 and 75 are completely separate from one another. When deformable inserts are placed between the user's feet and cushions 65 and 75, the inserts will be readily molded up around the user's foot, as a result of the soft foam. Thus, a relatively deep heel portion will be formed in the insert, as well as a well-defined arch portion and an edge line wrapping upwardly around the user's foot.
As previously explained for the preferred embodiment, the middle layers 66, 76 of the cushions 59 and 60 are also compressible, but are formed from a foam which is somewhat harder than the upper layer. This forms a compressible base upon which a user can stand. The relatively high resiliency of middle layers 66, 76 leads to some resistance to the wrapping around illustrated by upper layers 65, 75. Thus, the middle layers 66, 76 firmly push upwardly against the bottom of the user's feet. This pushes the upper cushion 65 and 75, and any deformable insert positionable between cushions 65 and 75 and the user's feet, up toward the bottom of the user's feet. The result is a molding of contours into the molded insole which conform well to the bottom of the user's feet. An advantage to the firmer cushion is that it facilitates good weight distribution during molding.
As a result of the two different resiliencies of cushions used for each composite pillow member, and the utilization of an upper relatively soft cushion member, an effective mold is provided for the user's feet. The mold is readily usable in association with a moldable insert placed upon upper surfaces of pillows 59 and 60, and is quickly prepared for reuse. The upper, soft, layer forms a relatively deep heel cup, and good arch wrapping and a side edge to the molded insert. The firmer lower cushion supports the weight of the user while generating contouring in the bottom of the insert.
It is noted that while the preferred embodiment has upper and lower cushions (65 and 66; or, 75 and 76) which are completely separable, the upper and lower cushions could be attached or be integral with one another. However, advantages result from their separability or at least partial separability since, during molding, a technician can insert a hand or object between the two layers to effect or adjust molding, or the position of a user's foot.
Referring to FIG. 5, an insole insert 90 utilizable, as shown for insert 5, FIG. 1, in association with the present invention is illustrated. Insert 90 is a composite member having: a lower thermoplastic layer 91; an arch and heel support member 92; a cushion layer 93; and, an upper protective layer 94. While a variety of composite structures might be utilized in association with the principles of the present invention, the structure of FIG. 5 is convenient and preferred in many uses.
Referring again to FIG. 5, lower layer 91 is a thermoplastic layer which may be readily molded in an apparatus according to the present invention. Layer 91 preferably comprises a soft plastic material which has substantial memory at room temperature and typical use temperatures, to provide contouring for the insert 90. When the material from which layer 91 is formed is heated substantially, as for example in a convection oven at 250� F., for several minutes, it becomes pliable and moldable. A preferred thermoplastic material for layer 91 is VINYLPLEX a polyvinyl chloride material available in a strip form from Alpha Plastics of St. Louis, Michigan 49990. The strips of VINYLPLEX are made from GEON 87438, a B. F. Goodrich polyvinylchloride product.
In some instances a fairly rigid arch support may be prescribed. The preferred insert portion 92, FIG. 5, is a somewhat triangularly shaped piece of material which is not as soft or flexible as thermal plastic layer 91 but which is deformable and moldable, when heated, to form an arch support and heel cup. Preferably insert 92, as suggested, is formed from material which at room temperatures and typical use temperatures is sufficiently rigid to provide substantial support. A preferred material for insert 92 is a plastic material such as a polyvinylchloride which, when heated along with thermoplastic layer 91, becomes sufficiently pliable to be moldable to conform to a user's heel and arch and further which readily cools to a molded, relatively rigid, construction.
For the insert illustrated in FIG. 5, layer 93 comprises a shock absorbing layer of foam or the like. Preferably layer 93 is formed from a relatively durable synthetic material. It may be of a variety of thicknesses, depending upon the cushioning effect desired for the insole insert.
Upper layer 94, FIG. 5, comprises a protective layer of a material such as nylon or the like which can be readily cleaned, which will be comfortable for a user within that user's shoes, and preferably which will absorb moisture draining same away from the user's feet and permitting the user's feet to breathe somewhat.
In a typical application, layers such as layers 91,92,93 and 94 are formed into a composite insert such as insert 5, FIG. 1. The insert is then heated, until it becomes moldable, in a convection oven or the like. Preferably, the materials are chosen such that insert 5 becomes moldable when heated in a convection oven at about 250� F for about two to five minutes. Thus, the insert will be warm, but handlable.
Referring to FIG. 4, the heated insert 5 is positioned on top of an appropriate cushion, such as cushion 75. When a user's foot 100 is positioned thereon, under the weight of the user's foot the insert 5 will be depressed into, and is molded by, the upper relatively soft cushion 75 in association with the lower relatively hard cushion 76. Arch curve 78 provides for a raised heel in the molded insert 5, thus providing an arrangement comfortable with either flat shoes or shoes with raised heels.
Referring to FIG. 6, a molded composite insert 105 is depicted.
Inserts having a variety of composite structures may be utilized in association with many of the principles of the present method, although the arrangement of FIG. 5 having two moldable layers 91 and 92 of different resiliency offers advantages in some applications. Generally, the layers may be formed into a single unit by use of adhesives or the like. These units can be readily formed into left foot and right foot units, if desired. In FIG. 6 a molded left foot unit is depicted.
In some applications of the present invention, it may be desirable to provide a medical support such as a metatarsal support within the insert. Referring to FIG. 7, an insert 110 is shown having a medical support 111 positioned therein. The arrangement illustrated in FIG. 7 will be referred to herein as a "medical split". The medical split shown comprises a composite structure 110 having an upper portion 113 and a lower portion 114. Although the heel portions of members 113 and 114 are glued or adhered to one another, front portions thereof are separable or split, so that insert 111 can be easily positioned therein, either before or after molding. In this manner, the insert 111 can be selectively positioned for the particular patient involved. If desired, layer 113 can be attached to layer 114 by means of adhesive, after medical support 111 is positioned. This medical support 111 offers distinct advantages not generally available from conventional system 5.
Typical operation of the present method will be understood by reference to FIGS. 1-4. Referring to FIG. 1, for a preferred application apparatus 1 is prepared with first and second molding pillows 59 and 60 positioned therein, and with the arch curves slanted downwardly or toward the front portion 25 of base 10. Recess 30 helps retain the cushions 65, 66, 75 and 76 in position.
Markings 82 are provided on upper surfaces of relatively soft pillows 65 and 75. The user stands upon pillows 65 and 75 with his or her feet appropriately positioned with respect to markings 82, to achieve proper alignment with the downward arch curve. The markings can be utilized to accommodate, for example, appropriate positioning of persons with feet of varying sizes. The user's knees are placed into association with cushion 37 and bar 36. The bar 36 is selectively oriented to position the user's legs, knees and feet in a preferred orientation. During this process, the user can steady himself or herself through the use of horizontal rails 20 and 23.
Detail is not provided herein with respect to selection of an orientation of the user's feet, knees and legs. Theories and hypotheses with respect to this may vary. Further, the particular orientation selected is not critical to application of the present invention as a wide variety of orientations can be accommodated.
After appropriate positioning of knee support bar 36, the user can then either step out of apparatus 1 or, if desired, can straddle pillow members 59 and 60 by stepping upon strips 55 and 56. Heated, prepared, inserts 5 are then positioned appropriately upon upper pillows 65 and 75, with respect to markings 82, for that selected user. Prior to being placed upon pillows 65 and 75, inserts 5 will have been appropriately heated as to become moldable.
The user then steps downwardly upon moldable inserts 5, standing thereon and supporting themselves by rails 23 and 20, if necessary, while the molding process is completed. The markings 82 and knee positioning mechanism 15 can be used to reproduce the earlier selected position. Referring to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, the relatively soft upper cushions 65 and 70, and relatively firm lower cushions 66 and 76 provide for a desirable molding of the insert 5 with respect to the user's feet, especially in forming arch portions and heel portions. After several minutes, operable inserts 5 will have sufficiently cooled to form inserts, such as insert 105, FIG. 6, having contours conforming to the user's feet. The user then steps off of the apparatus 1, and the molded inserts are removed and trimmed as necessary. The inserts may then be placed in the user's shoes, as custom insole supports and cushions.
If desired, an insert involving a medical split may be used. Under such circumstances, the medical support can be positioned either before or after molding, as desired.
In some applications, the custom molded insert can be used to form a base or core around which a more built-up insert is provided. For example, a molded insert such as insert 105 may be used to form the core of a larger insert utilized in a ski boot or the like. This could be accomplished, for example, by taking molded insert 105 and adding cushioning or space-filling material to an underside thereof, to build-up a permanent or semi-permanent insert for a ski boot or the like.
Referring to FIG. 3, for the preferred embodiment described and shown, the lower support members 67 and 77 are separate from one another, but are substantially identical. It will be understood that the two lower relatively rigid members 67 and 77 could be made integral with respect to one another, and further could be directly formed within base 10. However, the styrofoam arrangement described and shown is preferred and members 67 and 77 can be removed and replaced independently from one another, as desired.
Generally, middle layers 66 and 67, of the preferred embodiment, are completely independent from one another. As a result, they may wrap somewhat around a user's foot, while providing firm support for the upper layer 65 and 75 respectively. While in FIG. 3 little such deformation is exhibited, it may be substantial under the certain circumstances, depending in part upon the weight and size of the user. It will generally be advantageous to provide members 66 and 76 separate from one another in an apparatus according to the present invention.
According to the present invention, it is generally a requirement that cushions 65 and 75, the upper cushions, be either completely separate from one another or joined in such manner that they may independently deform as shown in FIG. 2 to wrap around a user's foot.
A variety of weights and resiliencies of cushions may be utilized in association with the principles of the present invention. Generally what is required is a cushion material for the upper cushion which is sufficiently soft as to provide for the pronounced wrapping effect illustrated in FIG. 3 and described herein. Further, generally what is required for the middle layers is a resilient material which is harder than the upper layers and provides for a good firm effective lower support.
A preferred foam material for both layers is a polyurethane foam. An example is TEMPER FOAM� available from KGM (Kees Goebel Medical) of Hamilton, Ohio 45011. The preferred upper layer is pink TEMPER FOAM�, a polyurethane foam assigned KGM product code T-38. The density of such material is generally about 6.4 pounds per cubic foot with a tensile strength of about 22 psi, an ultimate elongation of 218%, a ball rebound resilience value of 3.6%, an indentation force deflection (25% IFD value) of 156 IFD-Newtons, and a compression set Ct at 50% of 1%. A preferred middle layer, also formed from TEMPER FOAM�, is a polyurethane foam, available from KGM under product doe T-41 with a density of about 6.4 pounds per cubic foot, a tensile strength of about 36 psi, an ultimate elongation of about 200%, a ball rebound resilience value of about 4.6% and an indentation force deflection (25% IFD value) of about 223 IFD-Newtons. For the preferred embodiment both the upper layers 65 and 75 and the middle layers 66 and 76 are about one inch thick.
While a variety of foams may be used as the upper and lower layers, generally preferred foam for the upper layer has: a tensile strength of 14-30 psi; and a ball rebound resilience value of 3.0-4.0%. Preferred foam for the lower layer has: a tensile strength of 31-40 psi; and, a ball rebound resilience valve of 4.1-5.0%.
If a user's feet are too large for apparatus 1, FIG. 1, the molding pillows 59 and 60 can be removed therefrom and placed upon the floor. Cushion extensions may then be placed in association with the members 59 and 60, extending the length to handle a relatively large foot and insert.
If the user is a person who has trouble standing, pillow arrangements such as 59 and 60 may be utilized in association with a variety of support arrangements for the user, including ones wherein considerable support is provided for the user, leading to relatively little downward force or weight upon the feet. It will be understood that under such circumstances, variations in weight thickness and firmness of foam may be desirable.
As previously suggested, advantages result from having upper and lower foam layers (ex. 65 and 66) which are separable from one another, so a technicians hand or an object can be inserted therebetween during molding. While further advantages are derived from such a system wherein the foam layers have different resiliencies as described, advantage from separability of lower and upper layers results regardless of the relative firmness of the layers.
It is to be understood that while certain embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, the invention is not to be limited to the specific forms or arrangement of parts herein described and shown.

Charges dismissed against former Abenaki chiefSeptember 19,2013
Charges dropped vs.
former Abenaki chief
ST. ALBANS Embezzlement charges have been dropped against the former leader of an Indian tribe in Vermont.
April St. Francis Merrill, the former chief of the Abenaki Missisquoi tribe, was accused last year of stealing $35,000 from the tribe through ATM withdrawals for grocery shopping, flower purchases, and the installation of a deck on her home.
Court papers accused her of taking the money from tribal Christmas funds.
Merill, who stepped down in January of 2012, had pleaded not guilty to three felony embezzlement counts.
The charges were dismissed late last month.
Prosecutors had dropped earlier charges against the former chief in 2011, when she was accused of exploiting an elderly adult whose financial records she was managing.MORE IN Vermont NewsPHILADELPHIA Vermonts delegation to the Democratic National Convention took center stage...

Upslope and low level convergence over western zones will slowly diminish as the evening wears on allowing convection to dissipate around sunset. The threat for any strong storms with small hail will only exist through about 7pm based on latest hi- res model solutions. Weak northwest flow will persist on Friday, though heights aloft will slowly rise. Weak ripple in this flow combined with stagnant low level moisture will keep a slight chance of showers/thunderstorms in place during the afternoon and evening hours, but overall precipitation chances will be on the decline. Highs Friday afternoon will be seasonal in the mid to upper 80s. Rising heights Saturday along with increasing downslope westerly winds will bring hot and mainly dry conditions to the area. Expect highs well into the 90s across the area. Chambers .LONG TERM...valid for Sun...Mon...Tue...Wed...Thu... The latest models have continued the general solution they have been presenting. The trough Sunday continues to move across northern Montana that while there will be a front moving through the area, will not produce much of the issue with winds. Also, models, especially the SREF are showing the relative humidity values during the afternoon will only be in the upper teens to lower 20s. Some of the bias corrected may be lowering the humidity values too much given that we are slightly more moist than we have been. Also, as there will be some easterly low level flow continuing we will have a better chance to to keep the moisture flowing in. Monday will be cooler behind that cold front, but Tuesday as another trough moves in, temperatures will warm right back up. The cold front associated with the Tuesday system will be a bit stronger, especially with the winds. With the easterly flow as there will be a surface low over eastern Montana, moisture will still not be overly low. Through the remainder of the extended flow will be more zonal with temperatures in the 80s. Reimer && .AVIATION... Scattered showers and thunderstorms and associated MVFR to IFR conditions will be possible across much of the area through early evening.

Mount Sinjar: Islamic State siege broken, say Kurds
- published: 19 Dec 2014
- views: 324
Mount Sinjar: Islamic State siege broken, say Kurds Kurdish forces in northern Iraq are claiming their biggest victory yet against Islamic State (IS) militants. They say they have broken the IS siege of Mount Sinjar, where thousands of Yazidis and other displaced Iraqis have been trapped since August. IS controls a swathe of Iraq and Syria, where it has declared a caliphate. Meanwhile, the Pentagon\'s top officer says US air strikes have killed several high-ranking military leaders of IS in Iraq. The Kurdish offensive against IS forces besieging Mount Sinjar began early on Wednesday with the most intensive round of air strikes yet by US and coalition forces - 45 in all. On the ground, about 8,000 Kurdish peshmerga fighters launched a two-pronged attack which they said had succeeded in opening a wide corridor to allow members of the Yazidi minority and others to leave. Masrur Barzani, Chancellor of the Kurdistan Region Security Council, said the operation had been to advance from Zumar - which Kurdish forces recaptured in October - to Mount Sinjar and to rescue the Yazidi people trapped there. \"It was a very big operation and thankfully it was concluded very successfully,\" he said. Peshmerga commanders said they expected the evacuation of those trapped on the mountain to begin on Friday. A statement from the Kurdish command said large numbers of militant fighters had fled westwards into Syria or eastwards towards Mosul, which they captured in June. The peshmerga also said eight villages had been recaptured and about 80 militants killed in the offensive. The BBC\'s Ji...

Try this Pork Neck Bones and Sauerkraut recipe, or contribute your own.
4 people want to try | 1 have favorited
Pork neck bones are one of the most flavorful parts of the pig. There is not much meat on the bones, of course, so they are not expensive.

First Review for The House in Quill Court!

The Regency Criminal Underworld
The Georgian and Regency periods have always been my favourite for their grace, sophistication, and, sometimes, the extravagant flamboyance of their architecture and interiors. Once I decided to set The House in Quill Court in the Regency era I began to research what it was like to live in London…

By Phil Edwards, The Examiner
The top-of-the-table State League clash between North Launceston and Glenorchy lived up to the pre-match hype with the Magpies grabbing a thrilling four-point victory in an enthralling contest between the two best teams in the state.
Glenorchy staged a remarkable second half fightback kicking seven goals to two to grab the all-important four points, securing top spot on the ladder and the reward of a home region second semi-final.
North Launceston controlled the contest kicking four goals to two in the opening quarter winning the clearances and applying plenty of pressure around the contests to prevent Glenorchy from getting their running game going on the outside.
They booted three goals to one in the second term to lead by 25 points at half-time dominating the inside 50s 16-8 for the quarter and seemingly having the Magpies, who managed just three goals for the half, on the ropes.
But in a game of two halves, it was Glenorchy who came out with more intent and purpose in the third term working harder, winning more ball and outplaying North kicking three goals to one for the quarter to close the gap to 13 points at the last change.
With the stakes high and the game up for grabs, the Magpies continued their revival with four goals to one in the final term and withstood a Northern Bombers challenge in the dying minutes as they pressed forward and threw everything at them with less than a goal separating the two teams – Glenorchy holding on for a 10.6 (66) to 9.8 (62) victory.
Jay Bowden finished with four goals and was important in the Magies revival and Clinton French kicked two to be another good player along with Jordan Arnold, Rhys Mott and Ben Reynolds.
Stephen Witkowski, Mark Walsh and Brad Cox-Goodyer kicked two each for North with Jay Lockhart, Jay Foon, Mark Walsh and Taylor Whitford good contributors.
Ruckman Daniel Roozendaal was reported for rough conduct on Glenorchy's Cameron Duffy in his 150th game.
"Our tackling pressure went up in the second half which was lacking in the first and we had more intent and fight from the guys and they backed our system," Glenorchy coach Aaron Cornelius said.
"We hadn't been tested in that situation too many times so it was pleasing to see how they reacted, a lot more leadership and guys kept their cool under pressure and we were able to get the result."
North coach Zane Littlejohn was happy with their first half but said they had too many passengers in the second.
"I said we needed to have 22 contributors and more than they had and we didn't end up having that in the end," he said.
"We turned the footy over an awful lot in the second half and they hurt us back the other way – but we will take a lot from it especially a lot of our inexperienced guys who haven't played in a game with such hype and it will be a good lesson to take if we are lucky enough to meet them again."

TOBRAMYCIN- tobramycin solution
Bausch & Lomb Incorporated
Tobramycin ophthalmic solution 0.3% is a sterile topical ophthalmic antibiotic formulation prepared specifically for topical therapy of external ophthalmic infections.
EACH mL CONTAINS:
Active: Tobramycin 3 mg (0.3%). Inactives: Boric Acid, Sodium Sulfate, Sodium Chloride, Tyloxapol and Purified Water. Sodium Hydroxide and/or Sulfuric Acid (to adjust pH). Tobramycin ophthalmic solution 0.3% has a pH range between 7.0 and 8.0.
PRESERVATIVE ADDED: Benzalkonium Chloride 0.1 mg (0.01%).
The chemical structure of tobramycin is
Molecular weight: 467.52
Molecular formula: C18H37N5O9
Chemical name:
O-[3-amino-3-deoxy—α-D-gluco-pyranosyl-(1 → 4)]-O-[2,6-diamino-2,3,6-trideoxy-α-D-ribohexo-pyranosyl- (1 → 6)]-2-deoxystreptamine.
Tobramycin is a water-soluble aminoglycoside antibiotic active against a wide variety of gram-negative and gram-positive ophthalmic pathogens.
In Vitro Data: In vitro studies have demonstrated tobramycin is active against susceptible strains of the following microorganisms: Staphylococci, including S. aureus and S. epidermidis (coagulase-positive and coagulase-negative), including penicillin-resistant strains.
Streptococci, including some of the Group A-betahemolytic species, some nonhemolytic species, and some Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter aerogenes, Proteus mirabilis, Morganella morganii, most Proteus vulgaris strains, Haemophilus influenzae and H. aegyptius, Moraxella lacunata, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus and some Neisseria species. Bacterial susceptibility studies demonstrate that in some cases, microorganisms resistant to gentamicin retain susceptibility to tobramycin.
Tobramycin Ophthalmic Solution 0.3% is a topical antibiotic indicated in the treatment of external infections of the eye and its adnexa caused by susceptible bacteria. Appropriate monitoring of bacterial response to topical antibiotic therapy should accompany the use of Tobramycin Ophthalmic Solution 0.3%. Clinical studies have shown tobramycin to be safe and effective for use in children.
Tobramycin Ophthalmic Solution 0.3% is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of its components.
FOR TOPICAL OPHTHALMIC USE ONLY. NOT FOR INJECTION INTO THE EYE. Sensitivity to topically applied aminoglycosides may occur in some patients. If a sensitivity reaction to Tobramycin Ophthalmic Solution 0.3% occurs, discontinue use.
As with other antibiotic preparations, prolonged use may result in overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms, including fungi. If superinfection occurs, appropriate therapy should be initiated. Cross-sensitivity to other aminoglycoside antibiotics may occur; if hypersensitivity develops with this product, discontinue use and institute appropriate therapy. Patients should be advised not to wear contact lenses if they have signs and symptoms of bacterial conjunctivitis.
Do not touch dropper tip to any surface, as this may contaminate the solution.
Reproduction studies in three types of animals at doses up to thirty-three times the normal human systemic dose have revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the fetus due to tobramycin. There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal studies are not always predictive of human response, this drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.
Because of the potential for adverse reactions in nursing infants from Tobramycin Ophthalmic Solution 0.3%, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing the infant or discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.
Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of two months has not been established.
The most frequent adverse reactions to tobramycin ophthalmic solution are hypersensitivity and localized ocular toxicity, including lid itching and swelling, and conjunctival erythema. These reactions occur in less than three of 100 patients treated with tobramycin. Similar reactions may occur with the topical use of other aminoglycoside antibiotics. Other adverse reactions have not been reported from tobramycin therapy; however, if topical ocular tobramycin is administered concomitantly with systemic aminoglycoside antibiotics, care should be taken to monitor the total serum concentration.
To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Bausch & Lomb Incorporated at 1-800-323-0000 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
Clinically apparent signs and symptoms of an overdose of tobramycin ophthalmic solution 0.3% (punctate keratitis, erythema, increased lacrimation, edema and lid itching) may be similar to adverse reaction effects seen in some patients.
In mild to moderate disease, instill one or two drops into the affected eye(s) every four hours. In severe infections, instill two drops into the eye(s) hourly until improvement, following which treatment should be reduced prior to discontinuation.
Tobramycin Ophthalmic Solution USP, 0.3% is supplied in a plastic bottle with a controlled drop tip in the following size:
10 mL bottle (5 mL fill) NDC 24208-290-05
Store at 2°-25°C (36°-77°F). Avoid excessive heat.

July Musings 2016
As we were growing up, most, if not all, of us repeatedly heard the Golden Rule: Treat others the way you want to be treated or Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The intent of the Golden Rule, to treat each other fairly and with respect, is valuable, but it is not the remedy most people think it is and is ego-centric that can be very damaging.

Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean solidified the presumption that the Titans would likely put the franchise tag on safety Michael Griffin, reporting it will happen.
The team's first-round pick from 2007 has been inconsistent in five seasons. He may be better than most of the alternatives at a thin position in both free agency and the draft, but a guaranteed one-year salary of $6.2 million qualifies as dangerous to me.
Griffin is a complicated, moody guy. He's at his best when the players around him are excelling, and tends not to play well when they aren't playing well. While he got a big contract as a rookie, we have no real idea how he will react to the tag when he surely believes he's worthy of a long-term deal. In my view, with Chris Hope gone, the Titans lack a strong leader in the secondary.
I question the move. My franchise player needs to be a guy who sets the tone, not a guy who needs the tone set for him. And while $6.2 million is hardly exorbitant, I've said I think the Titans could find someone at half that price to produce as Griffin did in 2011. It strikes me as a) settling and b) playing somewhat scared. I won't go so far as to call it panic.
Tennessee stood to lose three of its four starters in the secondary, with Griffin, cornerback Cortland Finnegan and safety Jordan Babineaux all heading for free agency. Indications are the team will quickly sign Babineaux once free agency opens March 13. A rule pertaining to Babineaux's expiring contract prohibits him being re-signed before the new league year begins.
So while I expect Finnegan to be gone and the Titans to add a safety and a corner for depth, they could well go into the 2012 season with a secondary that looks a lot like last year's. Cornerback Jason McCourty, Griffin and Babineaux will remain in place. Alterraun Verner will start in Finnegan's place and the Titans will have a competition to see who takes over Finnegan's nickel role.
An upgraded pass rush is a priority, and it will help all those guys on the back end.
But the Titans could have been more ambitious and/or creative at safety.
Here's hoping they get someone in place behind Griffin who's ready to take over in 2013, when he will be a free agent again.
