Foot comforting device

A foot comforting device for preventing pain to a user's foot having corns, calluses, and bunions thereon. The foot comforting device includes a cover member having a heel portion and a front portion being adapted to cover a ball of a user's foot, and further being cushioned and being adapted to fit about the user's foot; and also includes at least one elastic strip being attached to the cover member for holding the cover member about the user's foot.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a foot comforter and more particularly pertains to a new foot comforting device for preventing pain to a user's foot having corns, calluses, and bunions thereon.

2. Description of the Prior Art

The use of a foot comforter is known in the prior art. More specifically, a foot comforter heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.

While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not disclose a new foot comforting device. The inventive device includes a cover member having a heel portion and a front portion being adapted to cover a ball of a user's foot, and further being cushioned and being adapted to fit about the user's foot; and also includes at least one elastic strip being attached to the cover member for holding the cover member about the user's foot.

In these respects, the foot comforting device according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in so doing provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of preventing pain to a user's foot having corns, calluses, and bunions thereon.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of foot comforter now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new foot comforting device construction wherein the same can be utilized for preventing pain to a user's foot having corns, calluses, and bunions thereon.

The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new foot comforting device which has many of the advantages of the foot comforter mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new foot comforting device which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art foot comforter, either alone or in any combination thereof.

To attain this, the present invention generally comprises a cover member having a heel portion and a front portion being adapted to cover a ball of a user's foot, and further being cushioned and being adapted to fit about the user's foot; and also includes at least one elastic strip being attached to the cover member for holding the cover member about the user's foot.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new foot comforting device which has many of the advantages of the foot comforter mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new foot comforting device which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art foot comforter, either alone or in any combination thereof.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a new foot comforting device which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new foot comforting device which is of a durable and reliable construction.

An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new foot comforting device which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such foot comforting device economically available to the buying public.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a new foot comforting device for preventing pain to a user's foot having corns, calluses, and bunions thereon.

Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new foot comforting device which includes a cover member having a heel portion and a front portion being adapted to cover a ball of a user's foot, and further being cushioned and being adapted to fit about the user's foot; and also includes at least one elastic strip being attached to the cover member for holding the cover member about the user's foot.

Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new foot comforting device that is easy and convenient to be worn upon the user's foot even while wearing shoes.

Even still another object of the present invention is to provide a new foot comforting device that can be easily cleaned and laundered.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 4 thereof, a new foot comforting device embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 4 , the foot comforting device 10 generally comprises a cover member 11 having a heel portion 12 and a front portion 13 being adapted to cover a ball of a user's foot 18 , and further being cushioned and being adapted to fit about the user's foot 18 . The cover member 11 also includes an outer layer of material 14 and an inner layer of absorbent material 15 . The outer layer of material 14 is generally made of polyester, and the inner layer of material 15 is generally made of a material selected from a list including fleece and velour.

At least one elastic strip 16 , 17 is securely and conventionally attached to the cover member 11 for holding the cover member 11 about the user's foot 18 . As a first embodiment, the at least one elastic strip 16 , 17 includes one elastic strip 16 being securely and conventionally attached along an edge of the cover member 11 for holding the cover member 11 upon the user's foot 18 . As a second embodiment, the at least one elastic strip 16 , 17 has ends which are securely and conventionally attached to the heel portion 12 and to the front portion 13 of the cover member 11 , and extends therebetween. As a third embodiment, the at least one elastic strip 16 , 17 includes two elastic strips 16 , 17 being securely being securely and conventionally attached to sides of the heel portion 12 and the front portion 13 and extending therebetween.

In use, the user fits the cover member 11 appropriately about one's foot 18 to prevent the pain associated with one having corns, calluses, and bunions on one's feet, and the user slides one's foot 18 into a shoe 19 .
