Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention is intended to reinforce the lateral metatarsal ligament and metatarsal joints that are prone to bunions, and to relieve excessive looseness of the metatarsal joints by using strong stretchable fibers and materials for the socks and footwear of the loose metatarsal joints. They are socks and footwear for bunion correction for the purpose of treating and preventing bunions by fixing and holding the metatarsal joint.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, there are various types of socks, such as knitting the heel and toe in a heavy knit, or a combination of the front and back stitches of rubber knitting as a whole, or flat knitting in which only the upper end of the sock is made of rubber. However, for the purpose of correcting hallux valgus, the socks formed so that they can be firmly fixed and held by strengthening the tightening by emphasizing only the part corresponding to the lateral metatarsal tongue and metatarsal joints near the tip of the sock, and footwear and There were no supporters.

The applicant has already filed Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-12094, Japanese Patent Application No. 4-58348, Japanese Patent Application No. 4-58349, and Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 4-114313 for supporting the hallux valgus. The present invention is an improved application of the bunion correction supporter of the above application, and provides inexpensive socks and footwear for bunion correction or treatment or prevention in a simple manner from infants to the elderly and physically disabled.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The source of pain in the legs, knees, lower back, etc., which is caused by unclear causes, is valgus toe due to loosening and overspreading of the metatarsal ligament, which in turn reduces the cushioning effect on the sole of the foot and impact from the ground during walking. Accumulation in the body may cause repeated pain and injuries whose cause is unclear. The purpose of the present invention is to treat and prevent bunions, which is the root cause of these problems, and to provide them as orthodontic appliances.The improved socks and footwear can be safely and easily used by anyone and standardized. The objective is to achieve the purpose simply, surely and effectively by simply improving some of the socks and footwear.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Explaining it with reference to the drawings, the sock 10 is woven around the part of the middle ankle joint 30 just before the toes of the sock 10 so as to have a strong stretchability in the foundation of the sock 10. It is also possible to form rubber knitting or a heavier state with a thick thread, or to heat set with other materials by knitting separated from the base of the sock by synthetic knitting. These have strong elasticity and are used for correcting hallux valgus, which is characterized by fixing and holding the lateral metatarsal ligament 20 and the metatarsal joint 30 by forming part of the base of the sock 10 or part of the footwear. Socks and footwear.

[0006]

[Operation] A sock and footwear are provided with a weave and a material capable of forming a strong stretchability on the ground which is a part of the lateral metatarsal ligament and the metatarsal joint. Therefore, if the strong elasticity provides a proper fixation and holding, the lateral metatarsal ligament and the metatarsal joint that have become loose or too open can be returned to the normal positions. Along with that, the valgus toe that hits the extension of the first metatarsal bone not only returns to its original position, but also opens the space between the other four fingers, so the sole of the foot functions as expected. To improve blood circulation and improve walking pain. At present, the most effective and convenient method for the treatment of hallux valgus, excluding surgical operation, is to fix and maintain the metatarsal joint.

[0007]

【Example】

 This stretchable weave can use a stronger thread or a thicker thread, or a material close to it, such as rubber, can be knitted into a double weave. Furthermore, since it is possible to heat-set synthetic woven fabric, it is possible to use copper wire-containing yarn and other yarns and materials having a bactericidal effect, as well as weaving and knitting yarns and materials having an ionic effect or far-infrared effect. Is.

Since the fibers are in direct contact with the skin, they are knitted so as to be in soft contact with the skin.

Since this stretchable weave is made of a stretchable weave or material, it can be applied to socks and footwear of various shapes. Socks and footwear can be applied to bar socks, cylinders, socks regardless of whether they are long or short, and socks such as five-finger socks or tabi-shaped socks, indoor shoes, sock covers, It can be applied to booties, sandals, shoes, and other supporters, taping, and orthoses for the purpose of improving hallux valgus, and can be easily used by anyone with a hallux valgus correction device.

Explaining with reference to the illustrated embodiment, first, in the case of socks, a stick sock, a stocking, a pantyhose, a tubular stocking, etc.

[0011] Another embodiment is a tabi of a five-finger shape or an applied shape thereof, or a sock-shaped orthosis.

[0012] The above-mentioned structure is used for wearing indoor socks, sock covers, sandals, shoes, and tacks.

Further, the ring-shaped supporter which can be directly worn on the bare foot is convenient for wearing socks and footwear from above.

[0014]

[Effect of device]

 The present invention, which is configured as described above, provides a sock and footwear for bunion correction, which exhibits excellent characteristics for treating and preventing bunions.

In the manufacturing process according to the above-mentioned invention, the processing can be performed without spending the cost on the left side, so that it has an advantage of being widely used.

Since it is a therapeutic device provided in socks and footwear, it is simple, safe and easy to wear.

Since the metatarsal joint can be fixedly held, the second arch (lateral arch) on the sole is also restored, and the valgus thumb returns to the normal position and also between the overlapping fingers. Come open. As the toes become stronger, the cushioning function is restored, and the toes can firmly catch the ground when kicking out, which is the peculiar kicking foot of a person with hallux valgus. It can prevent the tip from flowing outward and twisting.

[0018] Fixing and holding the metatarsal joint can prevent sports damage caused by harmful or excessive "impact and twist" transmitted to the body.

Particularly, by using socks and footwear provided with the fixing holder according to the present invention, a great effect can be brought about in the early stage of hallux valgus.
