Description

Correction socks

Technical Field

The utility model relates to a special sock with correction function, in particular to a correction sock which can be worn by a person with hallux valgus or even a person with plantar fasciitis.

Background

Hallux valgus is a common foot problem and is caused by a plurality of reasons, for example, congenital heredity causes the hallux to be pressed and deformed due to long-term wearing of narrow-lasting shoes or high-heeled shoes, and the common flat foot is also one of the causes. Slight hallux valgus can be improved by various correction devices, and severe patients can only be treated by operation.

Although various orthotics are available on the market at present, although some degree of correction effect can be achieved, the disadvantage is that the orthotics have a large volume and even a hard part, so that the orthotics are usually only suitable for correcting in a barefoot state, are not suitable for wearing socks or shoes, and are very inconvenient for users who must often wear socks or shoes.

In order to solve the above problems, manufacturers have designed a sock with a rectification effect, such as the taiwan certificate TW M557029U patent, which discloses a sock including a sock body capable of completely covering a foot, and a positioning portion disposed in the sock body, wherein a pad is disposed on the foot corresponding to a position between a big toe and an index toe of the foot, so that the pad can be located between the big toe and the index toe for pushing the big toe laterally.

Although the original design of the socks is intended to push the everted hallux back to the normal position in the medial direction by the pad, the outward pushing and pushing effect of the everted hallux is not ideal in practice, and the main reason is that the sock body is designed to be completely covered, which means that all toes are bound by the sock and are pressed together, thereby offsetting the force which is intended to push the hallux back to the medial direction by the pad. Secondly, although the pad body can smoothly separate the big toe from the index toe, so that the big toe can be pushed inwards to generate a correction effect, if the acting force of the pushed big toe is too small, that is, the pushing amount is too small, it can be easily understood that the pad body forcibly inserted between the big toe and the index toe can also press the other four toes which are normally pressed outwards to be in a deformation state, which is the most undesirable situation, therefore, in an ideal state, the sock body should not completely cover all the toes, and enough acting force should be ensured to force the big toe to be moved inwards, and the acting force can be generated by pushing or pulling.

In some practical cases, there are cases in which both hallux valgus and plantar fasciitis are involved, and although the socks described above are designed with a cushion pad at the bottom of the sock, which if designed against the arch of the foot, can be used to improve or alleviate the symptoms of plantar fasciitis, it seems that the cushion pad cannot be freely detached and removed according to the individual needs of the user, so that it is less flexible in use, and not all patients with plantar fasciitis can adapt to the cushion design, such as flat feet, i.e. it is not suitable for using the cushion design, but it should be replaced by other means.

SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL

The utility model aims at overcoming the defects in the prior art and providing a pair of correction socks which can provide good correction effect for hallux valgus patients.

In order to achieve the purpose, the utility model provides a pair of correction socks, which comprises a sock body and an isolation cushion; the sock body can be worn on a foot, and a sock opening and an interphalangeal area are formed on the sock body; the sock opening can be used for being bound and sleeved near the ankle of the foot; the inter-toe region defining a big toe opposing portion, a four toe opposing portion, and a cavity therebetween, the big toe opposing portion being adapted to receive a big toe of the foot therethrough or at least partially therein; the opposite part of the four toes can expose at least half of the four toes outside the big toe; the isolation cushion is detachably disposed in the cavity of the sock body to isolate the big toe and the index toe of the foot.

The utility model provides a correct socks to the hallux person that turns up can be kept apart the big toe and the index toe of foot each other effectively through this isolation cushion after wearing, and is naked form because the four toes system outside the big toe is, and is not bound the restriction by the socks body, consequently, can effectively ensure that only the big toe that turns up is corrected by moving towards the inboard, and all the other four toes do not receive any influence of leading to, and then reach good correction effect.

Detailed Description

In order to clearly understand the technical contents of the present invention, the following embodiments are specifically illustrated in detail.

Referring to fig. 1 to 5, the present invention provides a first embodiment of an orthopedic sock, wherein the orthopedic sock 1 mainly comprises a sock body 10 and an isolation cushion 20; wherein:

the sock body 10 is adapted to be worn on a foot 2 and has a sock opening 11 and an inter-toe area 12; the welt 11 can be used to be tied around the ankle of the foot 2, and the welt 11 of the present embodiment is higher than the ankle, but not limited thereto, and can also be lower than the ankle, such as the height and shape of the conventional boat-shaped sock. The inter-toe region 12 defines a toe-opposing portion 121, a four-toe-opposing portion 122, and a cavity 123 between the toe-opposing portion 121 and the four-toe-opposing portion 122; the opposite part 121 of the big toe can be used for the big toe 2a of the foot to pass through or at least partially accommodate therein; the four-toe opposite portion 122 is configured to expose at least half of the four toes outside the big toe 2 a.

The isolation pad 20 is detachably disposed in the cavity 123 of the sock body 10 for isolating the big toe 2a and the food toe 2b of the foot 2. In particular, the isolating pad 20 can effectively push the everted hallux 2a to the inner side to the normal position for the hallux valgus person, thereby achieving the expected correction effect.

In this embodiment, the sock body 10 is provided with a protruding isolation pocket 120 between the thumb facing portion 121 and the four-toe facing portion 122, and the cavity 123 is formed inside the isolation pocket 120.

In the present embodiment, the opposite part 121 of the big toe forms a first opening 121a for the big toe 2a to pass through, and the position of the first opening 121a is sufficient to expose the whole big toe 2a of the foot 2.

In this embodiment, the four-toe opposite portion 122 is formed with a second opening 122a, and the second opening 122a is formed by a single hole, so that the four toes except the big toe 2a can be simultaneously exposed by the hole, but not limited thereto, the second opening 122a may also be formed by four holes, so that the four toes except the big toe 2a can be exposed by the corresponding holes.

In this embodiment, the chamber 123 of the sock body 10 is connected to an elastically expandable insertion opening 124 for allowing the isolation pad 20 to be inserted or removed therefrom, and it can be easily understood that since the insertion opening 124 is elastically stretchable, a user must open the insertion opening 124 to smoothly insert or remove the isolation pad 20 when installing or removing the isolation pad 20, and similarly, since the insertion opening 124 is elastically contracted in a normal state, it is possible to prevent the entry of foreign objects and the uncontrolled detachment of the isolation pad 20 therefrom.

In this embodiment, the sock body 10 is provided with a sole cushioning region 13 at least at the sole 2c with respect to the foot 2, and the inner side of the sole cushioning region 13 extends up to a portion of the instep 2d with respect to the foot 2. Furthermore, the sole buffering area 13 includes a sole cushion 131, and the sole cushion 131 can provide proper buffering and shock absorbing effects to the sole, so that for the person with hallux valgus, such a structural design can enhance the supporting effect of the sole under good buffering and shock absorbing effects, thereby improving the wearing comfort.

The sole cushion 131 may be soft silica gel, and is pre-coated in a soft material, and the soft material is bonded to the outer surface of the sock body 10 by adhesion or hot press bonding, so as to form the sole buffer zone 13. Of course, the sole cushioning region 13 may be integrally formed by weaving, for example, by weaving a fluffy shape directly on the inner surface of the sock body 10, and the sole cushioning region 13 may extend even to the arch 2e of the foot 2 to enlarge the cushioning region.

In this embodiment, the sock body 10 is provided with an arch buffer 14 at a position opposite to the arch 2e of the foot 2, the arch buffer 14 has a bag 141 and an arch cushion 142, and the arch cushion 142 is detachably disposed in the bag 141. Furthermore, the bag body 141 can be formed on the outer surface 101 of the sock body 10 by weaving or thermal compression, and has an entrance 140 for the arch cushion 142 to be inserted or removed from the outside of the sock body 10, and the arch cushion 142 has a half-moon shape with a volume and a shape for filling the arch 2e depression of the foot 2. By using the design of the arch cushion 142 of the arch buffer area 14, the rectification sock 1 can simultaneously provide the elastic support for the arch 2e of the foot fasciitis person, thereby solving the problem that the foot pain is easily caused when the foot walks or stands for a long time.

It should be noted that, since the bag body 141 is disposed on the outer surface 101 of the sock body 10, the user can put the arch cushion 142 into the bag body 141 after wearing the sock, and can take out the arch cushion 142 when wearing the sock, so that the putting or taking out operation is very convenient, and the operation process does not need to take off the rectification sock 1. Even more, since the shape of the arch 2e and the depth of the depression of each user are not always the same, the removable design allows the design of arch cushions 142 with different shapes and thicknesses, so that different users can select the arch cushion 142 with the proper shape and thickness according to the shape of the arch 2e to meet their individual needs.

Referring to fig. 6 and 7, the present invention further provides a second embodiment of an orthopedic sock, the orthopedic sock 1a of the present embodiment is substantially the same as the orthopedic sock 1 of the first embodiment, and the differences only lie in: the sock body 10 of this embodiment has an arch pressure area 15 instead of the arch buffer area 14 of the first embodiment, so as to generate a tightening effect on the arch 2e of the foot 2.

It should be noted that the arch cushioning region 14 of the first embodiment is not designed to fit users, such as flat feet, or people wearing shoes that do not fit the arch cushion 142, and the arch pressure region 15 of the present embodiment may be used instead. Since the arch pressure area 15 is increased by the elastic yarn with larger tension, it can generate proper pulling and tightening effect at the arch 2e, and also can achieve the effect of supporting and protecting the arch 2e, so that the rectification sock 1a can be suitable for flat feet, and also can be suitable for most shoe shapes or shoe styles.

Furthermore, in order to make the arch pressure area 15 have the function of pulling the arch, the arch pressure area 15 includes an arch tightening portion 151 that passes around the arch 2e and is pulled upward along the left and right sides, and a heel tightening portion 152 that passes around the rear heel portion 2f of the foot 2 and is connected to the two ends of the arch tightening portion 151 along the left and right sides. By utilizing the design of the heel tightening part 152 and the arch tightening part 151, the mutual traction linkage effect can be generated, so as to strengthen the binding force and the lifting acting force generated by the arch tightening part 152 at the arch 2e part, and effectively relieve the pain feeling generated at the arch 2e part of a foot sole fasciitis patient.

It should be noted that, the connecting portions of the arch tightening portion 151 and the heel tightening portion 152 on the left and right sides are not connected to each other, which is helpful for the foot 2 to bend easily at this portion, and is especially suitable for the thick sock body 10, which can effectively avoid hindering and limiting the bending of the foot 2, and even causing a possible pain.

Referring to fig. 8, the present invention further provides a third embodiment of an orthopedic sock, the orthopedic sock 1b of this embodiment is substantially the same as the orthopedic sock 1a of the second embodiment, and the differences only lie in: the arch pressure area 15 of the present embodiment further includes a connecting portion 153, two ends of which are connected to the connecting portion of the arch tightening portion 151 and the heel tightening portion 152 on the left and right sides, respectively.

In one possible implementation, the connecting portion 153 is formed of a single band-shaped structure, as shown in FIG. 8. In another possible embodiment, the connecting portion 153 is formed by a plurality of long strip-like structures 154 spaced apart from each other, as shown in FIG. 9. Generally, if the sock body 10 is thin, since the tension of the sock body 10 is small, in order to avoid the lifting effect caused by the foot arch pressure area 15 being damaged, the connecting portion 153 of the present embodiment is provided to enable the connecting portions of the left and right sides to be pulled and linked with each other, so as to effectively solve the problem that the lifting strength may be insufficient. The space 155 between the long belt-like structures 154 is designed to avoid the pain caused by the bending of the corresponding part of the foot 2 due to the mutual compression between the upper and lower parts when wearing, so as to achieve the lifting effect and the wearing comfort.

Referring to fig. 10, the present invention further provides a fourth embodiment of the socks, wherein the socks 1c of this embodiment are mainly formed by adding the arch pressure area 15 of the second embodiment to the socks 1 of the first embodiment, or adding the arch pressure area 15 of the third embodiment, so that the arch cushion 142 of the second buffer area 13 can provide a buffering effect for the arch 2e, and the arch pressure area 15 can provide a lifting effect for the arch 2e, so as to produce a synergistic effect between the arch pressure area and the arch cushion, thereby improving the pain relieving effect for the people with plantar inflammation, or when some shoes are not suitable for wearing the arch cushion 142 of the first embodiment and the arch cushion 142 needs to be removed, the socks 1c can also maintain the lifting effect through the arch pressure area 15, and exert a certain relieving effect.

Referring to fig. 11, the present invention further provides a fifth embodiment of an orthopedic sock, the orthopedic sock 1d of this embodiment is substantially the same as the orthopedic sock 1 of the first embodiment, and the differences only lie in: the opposite part 121 of the big toe of the sock body 10 is formed with a toe sleeve 16 for receiving at least a part of the big toe 2a therein, and the end of the toe sleeve 16 is formed with the first opening 121a so that at least an end of the big toe 2a can be viewed through the first opening 121 a. Furthermore, the big toe 2a of the present embodiment is at least partially exposed from the first opening 121 a.

In this embodiment, the sock body 10 is further formed with a lateral pressure area 17 on the inner side of the big toe 2a relative to the foot 2, and two ends of the lateral pressure area 17 extend at least on the opposite sides of the toe sleeve 16 opposite to the first metatarsophalangeal joint 2g of the foot 2, so that the inner side of the big toe 2a can be pulled and dragged by the toe sleeve 16. In this case, since the hallux 2a of a typical hallux valgus begins to evert opposite the first metatarsophalangeal joint 2g, the lateral pressure zone 17 must have one end extending at least as far as opposite the first metatarsophalangeal joint 2g and the other end extending as far as the opposite side of the toe sleeve 16, in order to produce a better lateral pulling effect, in particular via the toe sleeve 16.

Preferably, the toe sleeve 16 of the present embodiment covers a portion of the thumb 2a opposite to the distal bone 2h, in other words, the lateral pressure area 17 can also extend to a portion of the thumb 2a opposite to the distal bone 2h, so that most of the thumb 2a can be subjected to the lateral tension of the lateral pressure area 17, thereby facilitating a better lateral pulling effect.

To simplify the structure and facilitate the manufacturing process, the isolation pocket 120 of the sock body 10 and the toe sleeve 16 are connected to each other and a length of the isolation portion 18 is formed by sewing, thereby separating the internal cavity 123 of the isolation pocket 120 and the internal space of the toe sleeve 16.

Another possible embodiment, as shown in figure 12, is to completely wrap the toe sleeve 16 around the big toe 2a, but since the first opening 121a is still formed at the end of the toe sleeve 16, the end of the big toe 2a can still be seen through the first opening 121 a. It should be noted that the toe sleeve 16 of the present embodiment can also completely enclose the big toe 2a, so that the above-mentioned corrective effect can be achieved even without the first opening 121 a.
