Description

【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
この発明は、くつ下本体における足首部(くつ下本体の一部。本書において同)の足首に対する圧力の調節を行うこととができるようにしたくつ下に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
くつ下は足の衛生を図り、かつ外圧から足を保護するものとして従来より一般に広く用いられている。そして従来から一般に用いられていたくつ下は、足先から足首までの全体を覆うことができるように、人間の起立した状態の足先から足首に至る略L字状に形成されているが、足や足首に存在する凹凸に馴染むように全体的に伸縮自在な素材で形成されている。その素材も足首部はくつ下が不慮にずり抜け出ることを防止するために、足首部は比較的きつめの伸縮材料が用いられているのである。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
前記足首部が比較的きつい伸縮材料で形成されていることは、その履用時において安心して行動をすることができて履き心地の良さを提供するものではあるが、このきつさをむしろ苦痛に感じることもある。
【0004】
例えば足首が太って人がそうであり、他には病人、怪我人等がそうである。特に介護を必要とする高齢者にあっては、ことのほか苦痛を表明し、むしり取るようにくつ下を脱ぐ行為は、特に介護現場では見受けられるところである。
【0005】
しかしこのことは、前記したように靴下を履くということが足の衛生を図り足を外圧から保護することができなくなるため、大きな問題となっていたのである。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
そこでこの発明に係るくつ下(請求項1)は前記の課題を解決するために、全体的に伸縮自在に構成したくつ下本体において、足首部をゆるめに形成し、このゆるめに形成した足首部を周方向に折り曲げ可能に形成し、押し曲げて互いに重なり合う面に、例えばベルクロファスナー、ホック又はボタン等の折り曲げ状態保持具を配設したものである。
【0007】
またこの発明に係るくつ下(請求項2)は前記の課題を解決するために、全体的に伸縮自在に構成したくつ下本体において、足首部を上下方向に切断した状態の一方の側に周方向に向けた舌片を形成し、この舌片と対向側の足首部を、例えばベルクロファスナー、ホック又はボタン等の連結部材によって接離可能に形成したものである。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
次にこの発明に係るくつ下の実施の形態を図面に基づいて述べると、1はくつ下本体であり、2はその足首部である。
【0009】
この足首部2は図1及び図2に示すように、従来のくつ下に比して太め、すなわち緩めに形成してある。したがってこの太目、すなわち緩めにに形成したものにあっては、従来例のような履き方をすれば容易に足から離脱する可能性が高い。
【0010】
そこで前記太め、すなわち緩めに形成した足首部2を、この足首部2を周方向に折り曲げ可能に形成し、折り曲げて互いに重なり合う面、すなわち折り畳んで互いに接する面に、例えばベルクロファスナー、ホック又はボタン(ただしホック、ボタンは図示せず)等の折り曲げ状態保持具3を配設してある。
【0011】
しかして従来と同様な方法によってくつ下本体1に足を通し、その後、前記足首部2を足首の周方向に折り曲げ、前記折り曲げ状態保持具3によって固定するのである。その際、履用者が苦痛を感じない程度に折り曲げればよいのである。尚、前記足首部2も、それ自体伸縮自在な素材で形成されているので、安定感を付与しつつも足首に対する窮屈感は相乗的に緩和されることになるのである。
【0012】
また他の実施例として図3及び図4に示すものは、前記した足首部2以外は前記実施例と変わらず、この足首部2の構造が異なっている。
【0013】
すなわち本実施例における足首部2は、この足首部2があたかも円筒形に形成したものを上下方向に切断し、このうち一方の側の分割縁に足首部2の周方向に適度な長さを有する舌片4を取り付けた形状をなしている。
【0014】
そこでこの舌片4を、前記仮想した分割縁を越えて合い対向する面5(足首部2の一部)に連結又は分離すればよいが、そのためには、舌片4及び面5に、例えばベルクロファスナー6、ホック又はボタン(ただしホック及びボタンは図示せず)を用いればよいのである。
【0015】
その結果、本実施例においても、面5に対する舌片4の周方向への位置を変えたことによって、足首に対するくつ下本体1の足首部の窮屈感を調節又は緩和させることになるのである。
【0016】
【発明の効果】
前記のようにこの発明に係るくつ下(請求項1)あっては、全体的に伸縮自在に構成したくつ下本体において、足首部をゆるめに形成し、このゆるめに形成した足首部を周方向に折り曲げ可能に形成し、押し曲げて互いに重なり合う面に、例えばベルクロファスナー、ホック又はボタン等の折り曲げ状態保持具を配設してあるので、足首部の周方向への折り曲げ長を変えることにより、足首部の足首に対する圧力を調整、緩和することができるという効果を有するのである。
【0017】
またこの発明に係るくつ下(請求項2)にあっては、全体的に伸縮自在に構成したくつ下本体において、足首部を上下方向に切断した状態の一方の側に周方向に向けた舌片を形成し、この舌片と対向側の足首部を、例えばベルクロファスナー、ホック又はボタン等の連結部材によって接離可能に形成してあるので、舌片の対向側の面に対する周方向の位置を変えることによって、前記と同様の効果を有するのである。

[Industrial applications]
The present invention relates to a sock capable of adjusting the pressure on the ankle of an ankle portion (a part of the sock body; same in this document) in the sock body.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Socks have been widely used in the past to improve foot hygiene and protect the foot from external pressure. The socks, which have been generally used in the past, are formed in a substantially L-shape from the toes to the ankles in a standing state of a human so that the entire socks from the toes to the ankles can be covered. It is made of a stretchable material as a whole so that it fits into the irregularities present on the ankles. In order to prevent the socks from accidentally slipping out of the socks of the ankle, the ankle is made of a relatively tight elastic material.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The fact that the ankle part is formed of a relatively tight elastic material allows the user to act with peace of mind at the time of wearing and provides good comfort, but this pain is rather painful. You may feel it.
[0004]
For example, a person with a thick ankle is the same, and a sick person, an injured person, and the like. Especially for elderly people who need nursing care, the act of expressing pain and taking off socks so that they can be found is particularly common in nursing care settings.
[0005]
However, this has been a serious problem because wearing socks as described above makes it impossible to improve foot hygiene and protect the feet from external pressure.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a sock according to the present invention is configured such that an ankle portion is formed loosely in a sock body which is configured to be entirely expandable and contractable, and the loosely formed ankle portion is formed around the sock. A folding state holder such as a Velcro fastener, a hook or a button is disposed on a surface which is formed so as to be able to bend in a direction and is overlapped by pushing and bending.
[0007]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a sock according to the present invention is provided in a sock body configured to be entirely expandable and contractable. A tongue piece is formed, and the ankle part on the side opposite to the tongue piece is formed so as to be capable of coming and going with a connecting member such as a Velcro fastener, a hook or a button.
[0008]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Next, an embodiment of a sock according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a sock body and 2 is an ankle thereof.
[0009]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the ankle 2 is formed thicker, that is, looser than the conventional socks. Therefore, in the case of the thick body, that is, a loosely formed body, there is a high possibility that the fat body will be easily detached from the foot if worn as in the conventional example.
[0010]
Therefore, the thicker, ie, loosely formed ankle portion 2 is formed so that the ankle portion 2 can be bent in the circumferential direction, and is folded and overlapped with each other, that is, on a surface which is folded and touched with each other, for example, a Velcro fastener, a hook or a button ( However, a bent state holder 3 such as a hook and a button is not shown) is provided.
[0011]
Then, the foot is passed through the sock body 1 in the same manner as in the prior art, and thereafter the ankle 2 is bent in the circumferential direction of the ankle and fixed by the bent state holder 3. At that time, the wearer may bend the product so that the wearer does not feel any pain. Since the ankle 2 is also made of a material that can be expanded and contracted, the tightness to the ankle is synergistically alleviated while providing a sense of stability.
[0012]
3 and 4 as another embodiment are the same as the above embodiment except for the above-described ankle 2, and the structure of the ankle 2 is different.
[0013]
That is, the ankle 2 in the present embodiment is formed by cutting the ankle 2 as if it were formed in a cylindrical shape in the vertical direction, and having an appropriate length in the circumferential direction of the ankle 2 on one of the divided edges. The tongue piece 4 is attached.
[0014]
Therefore, the tongue piece 4 may be connected to or separated from the surface 5 (part of the ankle portion 2) facing and facing the virtual divided edge. The Velcro fastener 6, hooks or buttons (however, hooks and buttons are not shown) may be used.
[0015]
As a result, also in this embodiment, by changing the position of the tongue piece 4 in the circumferential direction with respect to the surface 5, the feeling of cramp of the ankle portion of the sock body 1 with respect to the ankle can be adjusted or reduced.
[0016]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, in the sock according to the present invention (claim 1), in the sock body configured to be entirely expandable and contractable, an ankle portion is formed loosely, and the loosely formed ankle portion is bent in the circumferential direction. Formed and pressed, bent and overlapped with each other, for example, a folded state holder such as a Velcro fastener, a hook or a button is provided.By changing the bending length of the ankle in the circumferential direction, the ankle can be changed. This has the effect that the pressure on the ankle can be adjusted and alleviated.
[0017]
Further, in the sock according to the present invention (claim 2), in the sock body configured to be entirely expandable and contractable, a tongue piece directed in the circumferential direction to one side in a state where the ankle is cut in the up-down direction. Since the tongue piece and the ankle part on the opposite side are formed so as to be able to come and go with a connecting member such as a Velcro fastener, a hook or a button, the circumferential position of the tongue piece with respect to the surface on the opposite side is changed. This has the same effect as described above.
