Bunion corrective template.

Technical object of the invention

The present invention relates to a special template whose objective is the improvement and well-being of people suffering from serious problems in their feet due to the bad formations or protuberances commonly known as bunions and which in medical technical language are called “hallux abductus valgus ".

The template externally shows a completely normal appearance although in its front part, in the area where the bunion is formed and where the big toe is located, it is equipped with a special relief that favors the correct orientation and settlement of said finger.

Sector of the technique to which the invention relates

The invention presented affects the Sector of Current Needs of Life, Chapter of Personal or Domestic Objects in relation to Footwear, affecting the industry related to footwear in general although more focused on the orthopedic type.

Background of the invention

The bunion, one of the most common ailments in the feet, is that the thickest toe deviates inwards by pressing with the area of the tip, where the one is, to the adjacent finger and protruding outward in the area of your joint on the corresponding metatarsal bone.

This bodily phenomenon that, at first is seen as a small minor deformation, is progressively increasing due to the natural growth of the bones in such a way that the aforementioned area of the joint tends to bulge outward by pressing on the shoe while the set of the remaining fingers, especially the closest one, also suffers the pressure transmitted by the big toe. The result of this process is that a certain initial discomfort, when the process is in its beginnings, becomes a pain that can reach very unpleasant limits for the person suffering from it.

In another order of things, deformations occur in the shoes themselves that, in addition to being unsightly, reveal to others a medical condition that anyone would prefer to go unnoticed.

It is understood, as explained, that there are various inventions aimed at solving this very unpleasant problem.

In that sense the simplest solutions consist of small pads that, placed between the big toe and the adjacent one, favor the separation between said fingers.

Another solution consists of half a template, secured on the instep, which is placed on the front part of the foot being equipped with a separating element.

An improvement of this type of solution consists of a complete insole that fits over the inside of the shoe avoiding its dislocation due to the tendency to turn the previous solution.

Solutions have even been proposed, which affect the shoe itself, lightening the thickness of the leather in the area where the big toe joint is pressed.

In summary it can be affirmed that the devices to improve and reduce the bunions that are currently on the market, require that the user must place them beforehand before putting on. In addition they usually have sizes that force the user to wear a larger size of the footwear, causing discomfort and mismatches in the rest of the shoe's last.

In view of this state of affairs, with the corresponding drawbacks detected by use, the invention presented in this document affects a solution that affects the shoe as a whole with a special conformation of the insole, coupled to the sole, that we will briefly describe in the following section and more fully in the section of an embodiment preferred by the inventor with the support of schematic figures that help to understand the basic idea of the invention without prejudice that this fundamental idea can modify slightly in the development of the models that are ultimately offered in the specialized market.

Description of the invention

The present invention, as described above, refers to a type of template that incorporates a bunion correction system and is fully integrated into the shoe, facilitating the daily use of this device, favoring the well-being and aesthetics of people They suffer these bumps.

Basically it is an ergonomic insole that is integrated into the shoe, incorporating a separating device of the big toe, rigid enough to keep the finger in its correct position and thus avoiding its tendency to lean towards the other fingers. This is complemented by a padded area that minimizes the pressure of the shoe on the bunion.

Both the separating device, the padded area and the template, are manufactured or coated with soft and comfortable material, be it silicone or other similar materials existing in the market that respond to the need to protect the feet from scratches and ensure their well-being.

A template with specific characteristics is thus obtained, which entails a comfortable and practical way of wearing bunion correctors, facilitating the use of them as this template can be changed from one shoe to another with ease.

Description of a preferred embodiment

Corrective template of bunions integrated in footwear (1) (Figs. 1 to 5) consisting of a special template that incorporates elements that facilitate the reorientation of the big toe in people suffering from malformations commonly known as bunions (hallux abductus valgus ) improving your well-being. In a preferred embodiment by its inventor, it is shown as a shoe (1), where a padded insole (3) is attached to its usual sole (2) which, in addition to being able to conform as a plantar orthosis adapted to the foot of each person in its general characteristics, it adds two characterizing elements that are specified in a separator (4) and in a bunion pad (5).

Optionally you can add a bridge pad (6) that we will not consider in this document although according to medical sources it is very favorable to avoid the tendency to develop bunions in people with flat feet.

In (Figs. 1, 2 and 3) we can observe the position of these elements on the padded insole (3), it is important to note that both the separator (4) and the bunion pad (5) incorporate reinforcements (7) that adhere to footwear (2) to ensure its immobility.

The separator (4) preferably has a shape that resembles that of a diavolo although it can be any other that is ergonomically suitable for separating the big toe

(8) of the adjacent finger. As for the shape of the bunion pad (5) it can be very variable although the important thing is that, offering a stop that contains outward movements of the first metatarsal (10) adapts ergonomically to the bunion itself (11).

Once the cushioned insole (3) has been provided with the separator (4) and the bunion pad (5), it is installed inside the shoe (1) (1) resulting in that when the person puts on the shoe , the big toe (8) is forced to adopt a position that separates it from the adjacent finger when the separator (4) interposes between them. The consequence of this is that the said adjacent finger and even the other fingers, released from the pressure exerted by the big toe, adopt their correct orientation. Simultaneously, the head of the first metatarsal (10) abuts the bunion pad (5) without causing deformations in the shoe itself, which results only in the well-being of the person but in the aesthetics of their footwear. This situation of the foot is the one that can be observed in (Fig. 5) that summarizes the advantages of the device of the invention described in this document.

Its inventor conceives several alternative solutions that are based on the same principle among which it can be that the separator (4) has variable heights with a maximum length, in which its reinforcement (7) is attached to the sole ( 2) and to the toe of the shoe (1).

It is understood, on the other hand, that although the figure included in this document corresponds to a certain type of shoe, the invention is applicable to any other type of footwear, sneakers, sports etc. of man or woman.

It is not considered necessary to make the content of this description more extensive so that a person skilled in the art can understand the scope and advantages derived from the invention, as well as develop and implement the object thereof. However, it should be understood that the invention has been described according to a preferred embodiment thereof, whereby it may be susceptible to modifications without affecting or implying any alteration of the basis of said invention. That is, the terms in which this preferred description of the invention has been exposed should always be taken in a broad and non-limiting manner.
