Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a taping tool that is wrapped around the joints of the human body and used to prevent and treat sprains and the like.

So-called taping is a well-known technique that prevents sprains, strains, and muscle damage by wrapping elastic tape around ankles and other areas before starting sports. It is being

However, even with taping, which has such a remarkable effect, the method of application differs depending on the type of accident that is to be prevented or has occurred, and the location where the accident occurred, and skill is required to fully demonstrate its effect. It must be equipped by someone who has received special training, such as a trainer.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above facts, and an object of the present invention is to provide a taping tool that can be easily installed without requiring special skill and can be expected to have reliable effects.

The taping tool according to the present invention includes a body-inside contact part that extends from the sole contact part and can overlap each other when equipped;
It has an outer body adhesion part and a rear foot adhesion part, and these adhesion parts are created by forming at least two incisions in the thin material, and these incisions are approximately radial extending from the sole adhesion part. The area between the notches is defined as the rear foot contact area, and the opposite side of the rear foot contact area across the cut is defined as the body medial contact area and the body lateral contact area, and these rear foot contact areas, body medial contact areas, and The taping tool is characterized in that the outer body adhesion part is continuous with the sole adhesion part and protrudes approximately radially, and these adhesion parts are brought into close contact with the foot, respectively, and the back foot adhesion part, By overlapping the body-inside contact portion and the body-outside contact portion, wrapping around the ankle is easy and reliable ankle protection is possible.

If these extension parts are made wider at the tip than the connection part to the sole contact part, when they are formed by cutting out a single piece of thin material, it is possible to reduce the waste part when cutting out, and The stability of the ankle can be improved by increasing the area of contact with the ankle.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the taping tool 10 is made by punching a thin material into a predetermined shape, and the thin material is preferably woven with a special thread so as to have extensibility. Further, this taping tool 10 has an adhesive attached to the back surface, and a removable protective film may be attached onto the adhesive depending on the case.

The punched shape of this taping tool 10 is as if a K-shape and a horizontal T-shape were superimposed. The central part is a sole adhesive part 12, and three extension parts are connected radially around this sole adhesive part. These extensions become progressively wider towards the tips.

The first extension part 14 is for close contact with the inside of the body, and the second extension part 1
Reference numerals 6 are intended for adhesion to the outside of the body, and these extend from the sole adhesive portion 12 in opposite directions. The third extension part 18 is for adhering to the Achilles tendon, and is located approximately in the middle of the first and second extension parts 14 and 16, and has an oval opening 20 at the connection part to the sole adhesive part 12. has been done.

An instep wrapping part 22 is connected adjacent to the sole adhesive part 12 on the opposite side of the third extension part 18, and this wrapping part 22 extends substantially perpendicularly to the third extension part 18.

This taping tool 10 has four cuts 24, 26, 28, 30 in a thin cloth having a substantially semicircular planar shape.
These notches can also be made by providing a circular opening 32 at the tip thereof to prevent the incisions from expanding unintentionally.

Next, the procedure for installing this taping tool will be explained. First, the taping tool 10 is placed on the floor 34 with its sticky side facing up, and the sole of the foot is placed on the sole adhesive part 12 (first (See figure 2-dot chain line sole shape 36), attach the sole.

Next, the instep wrapping part 22 is wrapped around the instep part, and the third extension part 18 is adhered to the Achilles tendon part while applying appropriate tension (FIG. 2). In this case, the opening 20 provided in the third extension 18 helps the third extension 18 to adapt to the curved surface of the heel and prevents wrinkles and the like.
Furthermore, the first extension part 14 is attached after being lifted along the inside of the body while applying a weak tension. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 3, the second extension part 16 is lifted in the same manner as the first extension part 14, and is attached to the outside of the body while applying tension.

Thereby, the tension in the second extension 16 prevents excessive inward rotation of the ankle, thereby preventing sprains, and the third extension 18 prevents excessive stretching of the Achilles tendon, thereby preventing damage to the Achilles tendon. . Here, the third extension part 18 not only protects the Achilles tendon, but also has the role of protecting the ankle more reliably when used together with the second extension part than when using only the second extension part.

In the above embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the extensions overlap each other after installation and cover the ankle without any gaps, which is particularly effective in preventing sprains.

Further, the taping tool described above can also be formed into a single continuous thin material by pasting together a plurality of pieces.

The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and can be installed without requiring any skill by the operator, ensuring reliable accident prevention and
It has excellent effects that can provide therapeutic effects.
