Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
A shoe having an upper and a sole and heel portion, an orthopedic friction corrective member attached to said sole portion, said sole portion having generally a flat outer surface, said friction member positioned at the great toe side of said sole portion to retard the movement of said shoe when said shoe engages the ground under the weight of the wearer of said shoe creating a friction surface at the point of application of said friction member whereby internal rotation is caused at said great toe side of said sole portion of said shoe turning said shoe inwardly in the direction of the position of said friction member when said friction member engages the ground.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
116 words
A shoe having an upper and a sole and heel portion, an orthopedic friction corrective member attached to said sole portion, said sole portion having generally a flat outer surface, said friction member positioned at the great toe side of said sole portion to retard the movement of said shoe when said shoe engages the ground under the weight of the wearer of said shoe creating a friction surface at the point of application of said friction member whereby internal rotation is caused at said great toe side of said sole portion of said shoe turning said shoe inwardly in the direction of the position of said friction member when said friction member engages the ground.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The friction member and shoe according to claim 1 wherein said sole portion has at least one friction member thereon.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
The friction member for the sole of a shoe according to claim 1 wherein said friction member comprises several units positioned relatively close together.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
The friction member for the sole of a shoe according to claim 1 wherein said units are of a hob-nail type.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
32 words
The friction member according to claim 1 wherein said friction member has an adhesive material on one side and a removable covering for said adhesive material or manufactured directly into the sole.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
The friction member according to claim 1 wherein said friction member may be level with the sole or extended thicker than the sole.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
119 words
A shoe having an upper and a sole and heel portion, an orthopedic friction corrective member attached to said sole portion, said sole portion having generally a flat outer surface, said friction member positioned at about the lateral fifth toe side of said sole portion to retard the movement of said shoe when said shoe engages the ground under the weight of the wearer of said shoe creating a friction surface at the point of application of said friction member whereby external rotation is caused at said lateral fifth toe side of said sole portion of said shoe turning said shoe outwardly in the direction of the position of said friction member when said friction member engages the ground.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
119 words
A shoe having an upper and a sole and heel portion, an orthopedic friction corrective member attached to said sole portion, said sole portion having generally a flat outer surface, said friction member positioned at about the lateral fifth toe side of said sole portion to retard the movement of said shoe when said shoe engages the ground under the weight of the wearer of said shoe creating a friction surface at the point of application of said friction member whereby external rotation is caused at said lateral fifth toe side of said sole portion of said shoe turning said shoe outwardly in the direction of the position of said friction member when said friction member engages the ground.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
20 words
The shoe and friction member according to claim 7 wherein said sole portion has at least one friction member thereon.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
20 words
The shoe and friction member according to claim 7 wherein said friction member comprises several units positioned relatively close together.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
17 words
The shoe and friction member according to claim 7 wherein said units are of a hob-nail type.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
34 words
The shoe and friction member according to claim 7 wherein said friction member has an adhesive material on one side and a removable covering for said adhesive material or manufactured directly into said sole.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
