DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for controlling athlete's foot used to cure athlete's foot formed between toes.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, athlete's foot formed between toes,
It was a common treatment to get rid of the affected area by applying a remedy for athlete's foot.

[0003]

However, simply applying a remedy for athlete's foot to the affected area between the toes will result in the dripping of the applied therapeutic agent, making it difficult to use, and the drug will not persist on the affected area. It was doubtful that it was in the applied state. For this reason, in the treatment of athlete's foot, the efficacy of the therapeutic drug did not continue to reach the affected area, and it was difficult to completely cure the disease over a long period of time.
In view of the above, an invention technique such as a band for treating athlete's foot that can prevent the drug for treating athlete's foot from sagging and continuously apply the drug for treating athlete's foot to an affected part has been proposed (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-55).
-160551, JP-A-57-66753, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 2
-86518). However, all of these inventive techniques are band-shaped and wrapped around the toes of the toes, and the wrapped portions are swelled, and when wearing shoes, there was a sense of incongruity. Furthermore, when she took off her shoes and went up to a room or the like, she could see it from outside even if she hid her socks, and the punishment was bad. in addition,
Since the toes are wound in a ring, there is a problem that the therapeutic agent is unnecessarily applied to portions other than the affected area.

[0004] The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and prevents the athlete's foot remedy from dripping, continuously and intensively applying the athlete's foot remedy to the affected part of the athlete's foot, and wearing a sock. However, an object of the present invention is to provide an athlete's foot extermination tool that does not know the existence of a therapeutic athlete's foot extermination tool from the outside and that can smoothly wear shoes.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object,
The gist of the invention described in claim 1 is an athlete's foot extermination tool, which is formed of a lump having hygroscopicity and capable of being arranged between toes. The gist of the invention according to claim 2 is that it is made of a lump having a hygroscopic property, a height within a range of 1 cm to 2 cm, a slender upper surface, and having a cross-sectional shape that becomes wider toward the lower surface. The present invention relates to a device for controlling athlete's foot, wherein the device is impregnated with a remedy for athlete's foot and can be disposed between toes. The gist of the invention according to claim 3 is a foam formed by cutting a foam formed by press molding or an extruded foam molded product at a predetermined interval, and having a uniform cross section, an elongated upper surface, and both sides from the upper surface to the lower surface. An athlete's foot extermination tool characterized in that the athlete's foot extermination device is formed of a lump having a flat surface and a flat bottom surface, which can be disposed between the toes by applying or impregnating a remedy for athlete's foot.
In Claims 2 and 3, the "upper surface" includes not only a flat surface but also a curved surface.

According to the first and second aspects of the present invention, if the object is made of a lump that can be disposed between the toes, the sock is worn because the outer surface of the toe is different from that of the toe. In some cases, the athlete's foot extermination device does not rise and the appearance does not deteriorate. And since the athlete's foot extermination device has a hygroscopic property, it can be reliably held by applying a remedy for athlete's foot, and there is no problem that the medicine is dripped and the effect is weakened. Furthermore, the athlete's foot extermination tool is a type that is sandwiched between toes,
If this is impregnated with a drug for treating athlete's foot, all of the drug for treating athlete's foot will be used effectively. According to the second aspect of the present invention, the height is 1c.
It is a block having a cross section within a range of m to 2 cm and having a slender upper surface and expanding toward the lower surface and diverging toward the lower surface, and can be disposed between the toes by impregnating a therapeutic agent for athlete's foot. By doing so, there is no place where the athlete's foot extermination tool protrudes from the toes, and the socks can be completely concealed by removing socks without forming a raised portion. As in the invention of claim 3, if the athlete's foot extermination tool is made of a foam obtained by cutting a foam formed by press molding or an extruded foam molded product at predetermined intervals, the molded product is excellent in shape preserving force because it is a molded product.
In addition, since it is a foam molded product, it has a hygroscopic property and a liquid absorbing property, and can hold a drug for treating athlete's foot for a long time. In addition, since the athlete's foot extermination tool is molded, it can be manufactured at low cost.

FIG. 3 (a) is a plan view as viewed from the front side of the foot, FIG. 3 (b) is a bottom view as viewed from the sole side of the foot, and FIG.
FIG. 3 is a front view of a state in which the athlete's foot extermination tool is provided as viewed from a front position.

The athlete's foot extermination tool P is a type that is sandwiched between the toes ε of the toes F, and is formed of, for example, a lump having a shape as shown in FIG. The athlete's foot extermination tool P of this embodiment is used by being arranged between the thumb 6 and the index finger 7 of the foot F as shown in FIGS. Athlete's foot extermination tool P is gauze, cotton, cloth, non-woven fabric,
It is processed into a lump shape as shown in FIG. 1 using a highly hygroscopic material such as paper. In particular, when the athlete's foot extermination tool P is made of gauze or a non-woven fabric having a high moisturizing property, the athlete's foot has a moderate hygroscopic property required for treating athlete's foot, and contains a predetermined amount of a remedy for athlete's foot. This is more preferable because it can be disposed at the affected part with the interval ε.

The upper surface 1 of the athlete's foot extermination tool P has an elongated shape and has a cross-sectional shape that becomes wider toward the lower surface 2. The thickness B, which is the width of the upper surface 1 and also becomes the thickness of the main part of the athlete's foot extermination tool P, is arranged between the toes of the foot F, ε,
The thickness is set to a thickness (1 mm to 10 mm) that does not cause discomfort.
The vertical length A of the upper surface 1 is set to be slightly smaller than the gap length between the fingers of the feet F where the athlete's foot extermination tool P is disposed (FIG. 3). This is for the purpose of improving the fit and preventing the outside from being noticed even when wearing socks.

[0010] The height H of the athlete's foot extermination tool P is 1 cm to 2 c to prevent others from noticing when wearing socks.
m and not more than the instep height of the toes (FIG. 4).
The upper surface 1 is elongated as described above, but the lower surface 2
The two side surfaces 4 are formed so as to have a cross-sectional shape that widens toward the end, and the lower surface 2 has an area slightly larger than the upper surface 1. When the athlete's foot extermination tool P is put between the toes of the foot F and mounted, the lower part (lower surface 2) is large, and the sense of stability is increased. Also, by making the athlete's foot extermination tool P divergent toward the lower surface 2 as shown in the cross-sectional view 2 (a), athlete's foot is likely to occur on the soles. The athlete's foot remedy can be continuously applied to the affected area of the finger. Further, since the upper portion (upper surface 1) is small, it is inconspicuous, and when the shoes are taken off, it is not necessary to worry about the eyes of others. As shown in FIG. 2 (c), the lower surface 2 has a shape in which the central portion is concave in an arc shape, but this is for the purpose of fitting the patient to the patient without giving a feeling of discomfort and ensuring the stability of the patient.

The shape of the athlete's foot extermination tool P is formed by stacking a plurality of gauze or the like, or, in the case of a non-woven fabric or the like, by filling the nonwoven fabric into a mold of the athlete's foot extermination tool P and forming the shape. Then, the athlete's foot repelling device P is impregnated with the athlete's foot remedy and disposed between the toes of the foot F to be used as an auxiliary for the athlete's foot remedy. If the color of the athlete's foot extermination tool P is given a skin color or the like, it becomes inconspicuous even in the mounted state, which is more preferable. If the athlete's foot extermination tool P has a large, medium and small size, finger size, gender distinction, etc., it can be used by everyone from adults to children, and is useful.

(2) Embodiment 2 This embodiment relates to an athlete's foot extermination tool as shown in FIGS.
FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a method of manufacturing the athlete's foot extermination tool, FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the athlete's foot extermination tool, and FIG.
(A) is a plan view, (B) is a bottom view, (C) is a front view, a rear view, and (D) is a right side view and a left side view. Here, a foamed athlete's foot extermination tool P formed by press molding is used.
It is. For the press molding, for example, a method of punching out the shape of the athlete's foot extermination tool from the work of the foam sheet SH having a predetermined thickness A by a punching die (blanking die) is employed (FIG. 5). The athlete's foot abatement tool P to be punched out has a uniform cross section, the upper surface 1 is elongated, and both side surfaces 4, 4 extending from the upper surface 1 to the lower surface 2 are divergently spread, and the lower surface 2 is a flat mass. Here, the upper surface 1 is an elongated flat surface, but may be a rounded curved surface. The height H of the athlete's foot extermination tool P of the present embodiment is also set to be equal to or less than the height of the instep of the toes within the range of 1 cm to 2 cm (see FIG. 4). The athlete's foot extermination tool P has a cross-sectional shape as shown in FIG. Depending on the thickness of the foam sheet SH, that is, the vertical length A of the athlete's foot extermination tool and the degree of press molding, the side edge 21 of the lower surface 2 can be made slightly concave as shown by the chain line in FIG. It becomes the straight line shown.

As the foam sheet SH used for the athlete's foot extermination tool, a rubber foam sheet such as natural rubber and styrene butadiene rubber and a plastic foam sheet such as polyethylene, polypropylene and polyurethane are used. If a foam sheet made of natural rubber is used for the foam sheet SH, the athlete's foot fighting tool has a good touch and is harmless and gentle to the human body.
It is a good tool to cure athlete's foot between toes by including a remedy for athlete's foot. The expansion ratio and the material of the foam are appropriately selected. The cell structure of the foam used for the athlete's foot extermination tool P is more preferably of a continuous cell structure in which cell walls between adjacent cells communicate with each other. This is because it is more excellent by impregnation and retention of the drug for athlete's foot.

In the present embodiment, the athlete's foot extermination tool P is formed by press molding. Alternatively, for example, an extruded and foamed molded product having a uniform cross section is cut at a predetermined interval, and the athlete's foot extermination tool P is shaped as shown in FIG. It can also be. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted. The same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment denote the same or corresponding parts.

(3) Effect The athlete's foot repelling device P constituted as described above is formed of a lump and disposed so as to be sandwiched in the gap of ε between the fingers of the foot F. It is possible to intensively apply to the affected area of ε between the fingers. Since the entire athlete's foot extermination tool P is sandwiched between the affected areas between the toes, the applied remedy is useful without waste. The athlete's foot extermination tool P has a height H
Is between 1 cm and 2 cm, fits between toes,
In addition, since the upper surface 1 is formed into a slender body having a cross-sectional shape that becomes elongated and widens toward the lower surface 2, the sock portion of the athlete's foot extermination tool P does not swell when the shoes are taken off. You don't have to worry about others' eyes. Since the athlete's foot extermination tool P of the present invention makes effective use of the gap that can be formed between the toes of the foot F, others do not notice when wearing socks. In any case, a patient who is difficult to completely cure and who does not want to know that he / she is treating with athlete's foot which is disliked by humans can concentrate on the treatment using the present athlete's foot extermination tool P with ease.

The athlete's foot athlete's foot repellent is composed of a hygroscopic mass such as gauze, and is applied to the athlete's foot repellent. When the extermination tool P is applied to the affected part, the state is maintained for a long time. Since the remedy for athlete's foot is always in contact with the affected area, the therapeutic action is maintained. Since the athlete's foot remedy keeps in contact with the affected area, it can be repaired quickly. Even if a therapeutic agent is applied to an affected area, the conventional drawback that the therapeutic agent sags and the effect is reduced is solved. Since the whole athlete's foot extermination tool P is applied to the affected part of the athlete's foot between the toes of the foot F, the therapeutic agent is effectively used. It is sufficient to use the athlete's foot treatment tool P once a morning with a therapeutic agent for athlete's foot. You don't need to take off your socks and repaint them during the day. Furthermore, if gauze having high hygroscopicity is used for the athlete's foot abolition device P, it absorbs sweat and wet germs between the toes, and can be used as an athlete's foot prevention device without applying a remedy for athlete's foot. is there. The highly hygroscopic gauze has a deodorizing effect and has an excellent effect without emitting a bad odor even when shoes are taken off when going out.

Further, when the athlete's foot extermination tool is made by foam molding as in the second embodiment, it is excellent in shape stability, unlike a device hardened into a predetermined mass with gauze or cotton. The shape of the athlete's foot extermination device does not collapse during use. Can be reused many times. And if the athlete's foot extermination tool P is a press-formed product, it can be manufactured at low cost because of its ease of molding. When an open-cell foam molded article is selected as a tool for controlling athlete's foot, it is excellent in hygroscopicity and holding power for a drug for treating athlete's foot. The medicine is in a state of being continuously applied to the affected area. In particular, Embodiment 2
The press-molded athlete's foot extermination tool has a side surface 4 hitting the affected part having a sheared surface, which cuts out bubbles of the foam, and further increases the opening ratio of the side surface 4, so that the contact area where the athlete's foot remedy hits the affected part is increased. It becomes better. In addition, if a natural rubber rubber foam or the like is appropriately selected for the expansion ratio or the foam molding material, the flexibility and safety are enhanced, and a soft touch is obtained, so that there is no uncomfortable feeling even when attached to the affected part.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, but can be variously modified within the scope of the present invention depending on the purpose and application. The shape, size, number, material, and the like of the upper surface 1, the lower surface 2, the front end surface 3, the side surface 4, the rear end surface 5, and the like can be appropriately selected according to the application. In the embodiment, the athlete's foot abatement tool P is disposed between the thumb 6 and the index finger 7 of the foot F, but can be applied to other middle fingers 8, the ring finger 9, the little finger 10, and the like.

[0019]

As described above, the athlete's foot repellent device of the present invention can be applied not only to improve the therapeutic effect by applying the remedy for athlete's foot intensively to the affected part of the athlete's foot but also to keep the remedy in contact with the affected part. Even if it is attached, it is difficult for others to understand, and shoes can be worn smoothly.
