Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce a care pad, which reduces burden and is flexible, for the deformation diseases of toes, which frequently occur upon men of today, by an integral molding method by means of foamed rubbers. SOLUTION: Since a foamed rubber pad 1 is produced by the integral molding method, not only a form is free but also the rubber structure of the pad is flexible and rich in form keeping ability because of independent foaming. Thus, deformation or distortion caused by pressure is reduced even after long-time use, burden to a diseased part is reduced and pains are reduced. By mounting a stretch band 9 on the foamed rubber pad 1 by adhering or sewing and using it integrally with the pad, the pains on the toe are reduced while supporting the toe and returning it to a normal position by the pad 1 and by fastening a deformed base joint part so as to wrap it by the stretch band 9 and pressing it toward the center of the instep, there is operation for making normal and correcting the toe deformed outward, the base joint part and the arch of the base joint part.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention can be used as a care product for toes in everyday and sports fields for the purpose of correcting or preventing toes.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional pad for hallux valgus is used simply by pushing it into the crotch of a toe as a pad to support a deformed thumb and reduce pain at a base joint. There was no foam rubber, and the pad itself had insufficient flexibility, and many of them felt quite painful before they got used to it. In addition, it was not very effective in correcting the deformation of the base of the ecgus thumb.

[0003]

Deformation of the toes such as hallux valgus is often caused by wearing unnaturally tapered shoes such as high heels, so that the weight to be diffused over the soles of the feet increases the base of the toes. Concentrated on the position of the base, resulting in excessive weight on the base, and the natural arch (AB) originally present in the base of the toe is lost by wearing for a long time, In addition to the deformation of the thumb, the thumb is also deformed.Even if a pad is simply attached to the crotch between the thumb and forefinger, a treatment that is sufficiently effective against deformation of the base of the thumb I couldn't say.

A conventional pad for hallux valgus is only attached to the crotch between the everted thumb and forefinger, and has the function of supporting the everted thumb from the inside and reducing the pain of the deformed base joint. However, with regard to the deformation of the base part of the thumb, the effects of correction and prevention were not very effective, and the pad itself was not sufficiently flexible, so that there were many cases where considerable pain was felt before getting used. It is an object of the present invention to elaborate the material and manufacturing method of the pad, and to enhance the effective correction and prevention effects even for the deformed base of the thumb that has been everted.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, an elastic band (2, 9, 10) is bonded or sewn to the upper or lower part of a foam rubber pad (1) by an integral molding method. By integrating both 2, 9, 10) and the pad (1), the compression effect of the base of the deformed thumb by the band is added to the original effect of the pad, which is excellent for those who suffer from hallux valgus. Has become an effective everyday care tool. It is also excellent as a normal preventive device for ordinary people.

[0006]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Foamed rubber pad (1) of the present invention
Is made of one-piece molding, so not only can it be shaped freely, but also because the rubber body of the pad is an independent foam, it is flexible and has excellent shape holding power, and it can be deformed by compression even if used for a long time There is no pain, and the burden on the affected area is small and pain is small. The elastic band (2, 9, 1) of the present invention
In combination with 0), the pad (1) supports the everted vagus thumb from the index finger side and returns to the normal direction while using the pad (1) in a normal direction. And elastic bands (2, 9, 10)
Wraps around the base of the deformed thumb and tightens toward the center of the instep. The pad (1) and the bands (2, 9, 10) are combined, integrated, and attached, thereby deforming the everted thumb and base, and the base arch (AB). Has the effect of normalizing and correcting.

[0007]

The manufacturing method according to the present invention is an integral molding method, so that the number of manufacturing steps is small, which is advantageous not only in terms of cost but also the flexibility and shape of the pad (1) because the material is foamed rubber. It has excellent holding power and can be used for a long time while wearing shoes, which was impossible with the conventional ones. In addition, a synergistic effect can be obtained by attaching it to the affected part in combination with elastic bands (2, 9, 10) Born, superior and effective treatment can be performed for deformed thumb and base joints.
Since the muscles and joints are fixed in the non-stretchable band, it is not very good for the affected area. By using the elastic band according to the present invention, when a load is applied to the foot, the muscle and the joint are not unnaturally fixed, which is effective for normalizing the affected part.
