Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a toe bandage for use in a person's foot and limiting the bending direction of the toes.

[Conventional technology]

As a defect when the toes are not bent or oriented in the proper direction, weight may be applied to the tip of the toes like valgus and the toes may remain bent in the wrong direction. is there. As a treatment in this case, a soft material is applied to the fingertips or shoes having a special structure are attached, but basically the direction of the toes cannot be corrected.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

In view of the above facts, the present invention has an object to obtain a toe bandage capable of orienting the toes in an appropriate direction or a desired direction and being extremely easy to wear.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The toe bandage of the present invention is a flexible thin-walled material having an adhesive applied to one surface thereof, and a toe lower surface sticking portion and a toe side surface sticking portion adjacent to the toe lower surface sticking portion. Part, a first anchor attachment part connected to the toe lower surface attachment part to reach the lower surface of the foot part, and a first anchor attachment part connected to the toe side surface attachment part to form a bifurcated shape. And a second anchor sticking portion reaching the side surface of the foot portion, and one of the first anchor sticking portion and the second anchor sticking portion goes around the heel to reach the other and is connected to each other. It is characterized by being said.

Therefore, in the present invention, the toe lower surface sticking portion is stuck to the lower surface of the toe and the toe side surface sticking portion is stuck to the side surface of the toe using the adhesive applied to one surface of the thin material, While anchoring each anchor attachment part to the bottom surface of the foot and the side surface of the foot to apply tension to the finger side attachment part and the toe bottom attachment part, the anchor attachment parts are connected to each other by orbiting the heel. Install with.

For this reason, the toe lower surface sticking portion prevents downward bending while allowing the toe to bend downward, and the toe side surface sticking portion allows bending of the toe to the outer side while bending to the outer side. Prevents bending and corrects the upper and inner bends of the toe, which is peculiar to the valgus, and eliminates the pain during walking, and the lower toe adhesive part is the second toe of the toe together with the toe side adhesive part. Eliminates finger overlap. Further, since the anchor attaching portion is attached to the side surface of the foot and the lower surface of the foot over a long distance and circulates around the heel portion, it is possible to reliably support a large tension generated when the toe bends in the above direction.

Since the bandage of the present invention is thin, it is possible to wear socks and shoes even when it is worn, and there are few parts exposed to the outside after wearing socks and shoes, so that wearing is less unnatural. .

If both of the anchor attaching portions are integrally connected to each other to form a loop portion, the anchor attaching portions are surely prevented from being displaced, and one end of the anchor attaching portions may overlap with the other. For example, it can be applied uniformly to various foot sizes.

Example of Invention

FIG. 1 shows a bandage 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The bandage 10 is formed of a soft and flexible thin material such as woven cloth, non-woven cloth, and synthetic resin, and has an adhesive material on one side. It is preferable to provide a release paper so that the adhesive does not stick to an unnecessary portion in a storage state or the like so that the adhesive can be released at the time of use. By way of example, this bandage 10 can be stamped from a relatively large area fabric into the shape of FIG. However, it is naturally possible to connect short thin materials to form the shape shown in FIG.

The bandage 10 of this embodiment basically has a straight portion 12 and a loop portion 14 as an anchor attachment portion which is branched into two branches and whose tips are connected to each other.

These are the feet of the wearer as shown in FIGS.
It has a length and width that can be attached to 16. The tip portion 12A of the straight portion 12 is the lower surface 18A and the outer side surface 18 of the thumb 18 of the foot portion 16.
It has a width W that can be attached to both B.

The loop portion 14 has an elliptical shape, and the punching portion 14A has the loop portion 14
One side 14B is attached to the lower surface 16A of the foot portion 16 as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the other side 14C is attached to the side surface 16B, and is easily attached along the three-dimensional curved surface of the foot portion 16 without slack. I am trying to put them on. Further, the intermediate portion 14D of these one sides 14B, 14C is arranged on the heel portion 20 as shown in FIGS.

Further, by using a flexible cloth material having a certain degree of elasticity as the material of the bandage 10, the loop portion 14 can be more surely arranged along the surface of the foot portion 16. The loop part
Even if a part of 14 is cut, the tension is surely supported by the adhesive force. If they are cut, it is preferable to stack these cut portions on each other when mounting.

Next, a procedure for mounting the bandage 10 will be described.

The tip portion 12A of the linear portion 12 is attached by pressing the lower surface 18A, the side surface 18B of the thumb 18 and its adhesive surface. Furthermore, the linear portion 12 is attached to the lower portion and the side surface of the foot portion 16 while gradually pressing the connecting portion to the loop portion 14, and the loop portion 14 has one side 14B and one side 14C respectively on the lower surface 16A of the foot portion (preferably the arch part). ), And attach it to side surface 16B. The intermediate portion 14D is attached to the rear surface of the heel portion 20 to give a role of reliably supporting tension. In this case, it is preferable that the straight line portion 12 and the loop portion 14 be attached while applying some tension in a state of being pulled toward the heel portion 20.

Thereby, the tension of the bandage 10 allows the thumb 18 to bend downward (direction of arrow A in FIG. 3), but prevents the thumb 18 from bending upward (direction of arrow B), and as shown in FIG. The thumb 18 can be bent in the outward direction (arrow C direction), but is prevented from moving in the little finger direction (arrow D direction).

As a result, instability of weight support caused by unnecessary bending of the thumb 18 in the directions of the arrow B and the direction of D when the shoe is worn and the pain due to the weight support of parts other than the foot are eliminated, and the thumb 18 is always kept. It is placed in a proper straight state and can reliably support the weight. Since the thumb 18 can be bent in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 3, it does not prevent the natural bending motion of bending the thumb 18 during traveling.

As shown by an imaginary line in FIG. 1, the tip portion 12A is provided with a thin extension portion 12B, and the extension portion 12B is rotated around the tip of the thumb to reach the thumb thumb outer surface 18B and the thumb thumb inner surface on the opposite side. Can be attached. As a result, the extension portion 12B further strengthens the bandage tension, and the tip portion 12A can be prevented from peeling off when wearing socks or the like. Further, by extending the projecting pieces 29A, 29B in the opposite direction from the vicinity of the connecting portion between the linear portion 12 and the loop portion 14, and winding them around the foot lower surface 16A and the instep (preferably if they are lapped), the whole of the Prevents peeling and tightens the muscles in the arch to recover fatigue.

Also, provide an extension portion 12C on one side or both sides of the tip portion 12A so that the thumb
It may be mounted securely for 18 laps.

Next, FIG. 5 shows a bandage according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the tip portion 12A of the straight portion 12 has a protrusion portion 2 extended in the width direction like the extension portion 12C of FIG.
It has 6 and 28. The protrusions 26 and 28 increase the area of attachment to the thumb 18 and can reliably apply adhesive force and tension.
The protrusions 26 and 28 may be dimensioned so that they can go around the thumb 18 and be in close contact with each other. In addition, the protrusion 26
Is projected.

The third embodiment shown in FIG. 6 has a bilaterally asymmetrical shape, unlike the above-described embodiments. Therefore, the shape of the user's right foot or left foot can be made exclusive. Further, the protruding portion 26 projects from only one end from the tip portion 12A.

In the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 7, a protrusion 32 larger than the protrusions 26 and 28 of the second and third embodiments is integrally extended from the side surface of the straight portion 12. The protrusions 32 are provided with slits 34, 36 in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the linear portion 12, and further, a slit 38 capable of separating the protrusion 32 from the linear portion 12 is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the linear portion 12. Is formed in. Therefore, when the slits 34 and 36 are applied with a tearing force pulling to both sides in the opposite directions of the front and back of the bandage 10, the slit 34 is further extended and the virtual cutting lines 42 and 44.
The end portion of the straight portion 12 is cut from.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the length of the straight portion 12 can be adjusted according to the size of the user's foot without using a cutting tool. When a cutting force is applied to the extension line of the slit 38, the virtual cutting line 46 causes the protrusion 32 to fall off the straight line portion 12. Therefore, if the slit 34 or the slit 36 is used to adjust the length of the straight line portion 12 at the cutting line 42 or the cutting line 44 and then the slit 36 is cut off from the cutting line 46 by using the slit 38, the shape shown in FIG. A similar shape can be obtained to obtain an appropriate size according to the size of the user's foot.

Next, FIG. 8 shows a fifth embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment, the distal end portion 52A of the base portion 52 is a sticking portion to the lower surface of the toe and the side surface of the toe similarly to each of the above embodiments, but as a part of the anchor sticking portion substantially linearly from this base portion. The foot side sticking portion 54 is extended. Further, the foot sole attachment portion 56 is extended as a part of the anchor attachment portion with the width dimension gradually increasing from the middle portion of the base portion 52, and the foot sole attachment portion 56 is located between the foot side attachment portion 54. Are arranged in parallel with each other through slits 58.

As shown in FIG. 9, when the bandage of this embodiment is mounted, the base end 52A is attached to the side surface 1 of the thumb 18 in the same manner as in FIG.
8B and the lower surface 18A, and the foot side adhesion part 54
At the same time, the tip end part 54A of the foot side sticking part 54 is turned to the outside surface of the foot part through the rear surface of the heel part 20. Further, as in FIG. 2, the foot back surface attaching portion 56 is obliquely adhered to the foot lower surface 16A, and the tip end portion 56A is turned to the rear surface of the heel portion 20 and is preferably overlapped with the foot side surface adhesive portion 54.

Next, FIG. 10 shows a sixth embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment has a left-right symmetric shape, and the foot side attaching portion 54 and the foot bottom attaching portion 56 of the above embodiment are branched and extended in parallel with each other with a slit 58 interposed therebetween to serve as an anchor attaching portion. Have.

Therefore, even in this embodiment, the left foot and the right foot can be shared,
In addition, the same pattern can be applied regardless of the size of the foot portion as in the above embodiment.

Next, FIGS. 11 and 12 show seventh and eighth embodiments of the present invention. In this embodiment, both the foot side attaching portion 54 and the sole attaching portion 56 are formed in a substantially V-shape with a straight portion branching in FIGS. 8 and 10. The mounting procedure and operation are the same as those in the above-mentioned embodiments.

The width dimension and the longitudinal dimension of each portion in each of the above-described embodiments can be arbitrarily changed. In addition to this, the present invention can be modified in various ways, and can be applied to any bandage having an attachment portion to the lower surface and side surface of the toe and an anchor attachment portion.
