Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a correcting function-imparted sock solving such a problem that deformation in the sideway arch so-called "flat foot" due to slack in the metatarsal ligament results in making it impossible to disperse impact and thereby not only making a wearer become hard to stably walk but also having such an adverse influence as hallux valgus, stiffness in the whole body, or backache on the wearer. <P>SOLUTION: The correcting function-imparted sock 1 has the following structure: a sole part 11 corresponding to the metatarsal ligament 9 and parts coming in contact with both side parts 13, 13 of the sole part comprise elastic material (a first elastic area 3); a part coming in contact with an instep part 15 corresponding to the metatarsal ligament 9 comprises material more elastic than the elastic member. In the sock when worn, both base end parts 14, 14 of the metatarsal ligament 9 are tightened in such a direction as to come close to each other, but the part ranging from the instep part 15 to the sole part 11 is not tightened so as to well recover the metatarsal ligament 9 into a desired sideway arch. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、矯正機能付き靴下に係り、特に中足骨靭帯を締めて横アーチを再生することで体全体を楽にすることができる矯正機能付き靴下に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
足の横アーチは中足骨靭帯によって構成されたバネのようなものであり、この横アーチがあることで、歩行やランニング等の際に足にかかる衝撃を分散したり、体全体のバランスを上手く取ることができる。
しかしながら、最近では、運動不足による筋力の低下、体重の増加、更には女性に多い先細りの靴の使用などから、中足骨靭帯が緩くなっている人が多くなっている。
中足骨靭帯が緩くなり横アーチが崩れると、即ち所謂偏平足になると、衝撃が分散できず安定した歩行等が困難になるばかりでなく、外反母趾になったり、更には体全体が硬くなったり、腰痛になったりと体全体に悪影響を及ぼす。
【0003】
中足骨靭帯を締めるために、下記の特許文献には種々のサポータや靴下が提案されているが、いずれも、履いたりして装着したときには横アーチは上手く再生されなかった。また、強力に締め付けているので、締め付けによる不快感があった。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
それ故、本発明は、上記の課題を解決する、履いたときに締め付けの不快感を与えずに、中足骨靭帯を矯正して横アーチを上手く再生できる靴下を提供することを目的とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者は、鋭意研究の結果、中足骨靭帯を足裏部側からのみ締め付ける構成の靴下とすることで、履いたときに締め付けの不快感を与えることなく、横アーチを上手く再生できることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。
【0007】
請求項1の発明は、中足骨靭帯に対応する足裏部及びその両側部に当接する部分を弾性の高い高弾性材で構成し、中足骨靭帯に対応する足表部に当接する部分を前記弾性素材より弾性の低い低弾性材で構成し、履いたときに両側部から締め付けることで中足骨靭帯を横アーチ状の再生方向に矯正することを特徴とする矯正機能付き靴下である。
【0008】
請求項2の発明は、請求項1に記載した矯正機能付き靴下において、先端側に指を入れる2以上の袋部を形成していることを特徴とする靴下である。
【0009】
請求項3の発明は、請求項1又は2に記載した矯正機能付き靴下において、アキレス腱に対応する足首に当接する部分を弾性の高い高弾性材で構成したことを特徴とする靴下である。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態に係る矯正機能付き靴下を図1から図4に従って説明する。
図1は、矯正機能付き靴下1を左足に履いた状態を示す斜視図である。
矯正機能付き靴下1は通常の市販の靴下と同様に通常の靴下用の綿で全体的に構成されている。
符号3は第1弾性領域を示し、この第1弾性領域3は弾性の高い高弾性材で構成されている。具体的には、ウレタンゴムを素材である綿に織りこむことで周囲の領域と一体的に構成されている。なお、このようにして弾性材を織り込むことで所定の領域のみに弾性領域を形成する方法は既に公知である。
第1弾性領域3は足の左右両側に延びる横長の帯領域を形成している。
【0011】
図2は、図1に示すように靴下1を左足2に履いたときに、靴下1を底面5側からみた図である。図3は、図1に示すように靴下1を履いたときに、靴下1を上面7側からみた図である。靴下1中、中足骨靭帯9に対応する足裏部11及びその両側部13、13に当接する部分には、横長帯状の第1弾性領域3が連続して形成されている。一方、中足骨靭帯9に対応する足表部15に当接する部分には、ウレタンゴムは織り込まれていない。従って、足表部15に当接する部分は第1弾性領域3より弾性が低い低弾性材(綿のみ)で構成されていることになる。
【0012】
靴下1は足袋状に構成されており、先端側が親指を入れる小袋部17とそれ以外の4本の指を入れる大袋部19とに分かれている。靴下1には第1弾性領域3が形成されているので、靴下1を履いていないときには第1弾性領域3の弾性力により丸まる方向に付勢されるが、先端側が小袋部17と大袋部19に分かれているので、履いていないときにも丸まるのが防止される。また、親指と他の指同士が接触せず、放湿性が高くなる。
【0013】
符号21は第2弾性領域を示し、この第2弾性領域21は第1弾性領域3と同様に、ウレタンゴム等の弾性材を素材である綿に織りこむことで周囲の領域と一体的に構成されている。第2弾性領域21は横長の帯領域をなしており、靴下1を履いたときには、アキレス腱に対応するかかとの上の後背部23に当接する部分に対応する。
【0014】
図4は、矯正機能付き靴下1を履いた状態を前面側からみた断面図である。この図により、靴下1を履いたときに左足2にかかる締め付け力を説明する。
第1弾性領域3があると縮まろうとするので、左足2に締め付ける方向に力が働くが、第1弾性領域3は左足2全体を幅方向に囲んでいるのではなく、中足骨靭帯9に対応する足裏部11及びその両側部13、13に当接する部分のみをカバーしている。即ち、第1弾性領域3は「U字状」を成している。
従って、図4の矢印に示すように、両側部13、13から、中足骨靭帯9(横アーチ)の両基端部14、14に対して互いに接近する方向に締め付け力が働くので、中足骨靭帯9を横アーチ状の再生方向に矯正する。
【0015】
そして、中足骨靭帯9の足表部15に当接する部分には第1弾性領域3は形成されていないので、中足骨靭帯9を足表部15から足裏部11に向かっては締め付ける力は働かない。
なお、この方向で締め付け力が作用すると、横アーチが崩れ易くなる。この方向の締め付け力が働かないことが本発明の有利な点である。
従って、靴下1を履くと、中足骨靭帯9が所望の横アーチ状に上手く再生される。
【0016】
靴下1を履いたときには、左足2を第1弾性領域3がぐるりと取り囲んでいるわけではないので、締め付けによる不快感は殆どない。
また、第2弾性領域21はアキレス腱を後背部23側から締めることで保護している。
【0017】
以上、本発明の実施の形態について詳述してきたが、具体的な構成はこの実施の形態に限られるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲における設計の変更などがあっても本発明に含まれる。
例えば、第2弾性領域は形成しなくてもよい。また、形成する場合でも、第1弾性領域と同じ材料で形成しなくてもよいし、ゴム等の織り込む度合いを変えて、弾性力を調整していよい。
靴下の先端は指を1つずつ入れられるよう5つの袋を設けてもよい。また、先端は開口させてもよい。
【0018】
【発明の効果】
本発明の矯正機能付き靴下によれば、履いたときに締め付けの不快感を与えずに、中足骨靭帯を矯正して所望の横アーチ状に上手く再生できる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a sock with a correction function, and more particularly to a sock with a correction function that can relieve the entire body by tightening a metatarsal ligament and regenerating a lateral arch.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The lateral arch of the foot is like a spring composed of metatarsal ligaments, and this lateral arch distributes the impact on the foot during walking and running, and balances the entire body Can be taken well.
Recently, however, there are an increasing number of people with loose metatarsal ligaments due to a decrease in muscle strength due to lack of exercise, an increase in weight, and the use of tapered shoes that are common in women.
When the metatarsal ligament loosens and the lateral arch collapses, that is, so-called flat feet, not only can the impact be dispersed and stable walking becomes difficult, it becomes hallux valgus, and further the whole body becomes hard, If it causes back pain, the whole body will be adversely affected.
[0003]
In order to tighten the metatarsal ligament, various supporters and socks have been proposed in the following patent documents, but none of the lateral arches were successfully regenerated when worn or worn. Moreover, since it was tightened strongly, there was discomfort due to tightening.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a sock that can correct the metatarsal ligament and regenerate the lateral arch well without causing discomfort of tightening when worn, solving the above problems. .
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of earnest research, the present inventor has made it possible to reproduce the lateral arch well without giving the discomfort of tightening when worn by making socks configured to tighten the metatarsal ligament only from the sole side. The headline and the present invention were completed.
[0007]
According to the first aspect of the present invention, a portion that abuts on the sole part corresponding to the metatarsal ligament and both sides thereof is made of a highly elastic high elastic material, and a part that abuts on the foot surface corresponding to the metatarsal ligament Is a sock with a correction function, characterized in that the metatarsal ligament is corrected in the lateral arch-like reproduction direction by tightening from both sides when worn, by tightening from both sides when worn .
[0008]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the sock with a correction function according to the first aspect, two or more bag portions for inserting a finger are formed on the distal end side.
[0009]
A third aspect of the present invention is the sock with the correction function according to the first or second aspect, wherein a portion that contacts the ankle corresponding to the Achilles tendon is made of a highly elastic high elastic material.
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, a sock with a correction function according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a sock 1 with a correction function is put on the left foot.
The sock 1 with a correction function is generally composed of cotton for normal socks, like an ordinary commercial sock.
Reference numeral 3 denotes a first elastic region, and the first elastic region 3 is made of a highly elastic high elastic material. Specifically, urethane rubber is woven into cotton, which is a material, so that it is formed integrally with the surrounding area. A method of forming an elastic region only in a predetermined region by weaving an elastic material in this way is already known.
The first elastic region 3 forms a horizontally long belt region extending on the left and right sides of the foot.
[0011]
FIG. 2 is a view of the sock 1 viewed from the bottom surface 5 side when the sock 1 is put on the left foot 2 as shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a view of the sock 1 as seen from the upper surface 7 side when the sock 1 is worn as shown in FIG. In the sock 1, a laterally elongated first elastic region 3 is continuously formed on the sole 11 corresponding to the metatarsal ligament 9 and the portion that abuts on both sides 13 and 13 thereof. On the other hand, urethane rubber is not woven into the portion that contacts the foot surface portion 15 corresponding to the metatarsal ligament 9. Accordingly, the portion that comes into contact with the foot surface portion 15 is made of a low elastic material (only cotton) having lower elasticity than the first elastic region 3.
[0012]
The sock 1 is formed in a sock-like shape, and the tip side is divided into a small bag portion 17 for inserting a thumb and a large bag portion 19 for inserting other four fingers. Since the first elastic region 3 is formed in the sock 1, when the sock 1 is not worn, the sock 1 is biased in the direction of rounding by the elastic force of the first elastic region 3, but the tip side is the small bag portion 17 and the large bag portion 19. Because it is divided into two, it is prevented from curling when not wearing. Further, the thumb and other fingers do not come into contact with each other, and the moisture releasing property is increased.
[0013]
Reference numeral 21 denotes a second elastic region. Like the first elastic region 3, the second elastic region 21 is formed integrally with the surrounding region by weaving an elastic material such as urethane rubber into the material cotton. Has been. The second elastic region 21 forms a horizontally long belt region, and corresponds to a portion that comes into contact with the back portion 23 on the heel corresponding to the Achilles tendon when the sock 1 is worn.
[0014]
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the state in which the sock 1 with a correction function is worn as seen from the front side. This figure explains the tightening force applied to the left foot 2 when the sock 1 is worn.
When the first elastic region 3 is present, it tends to shrink, so a force acts in the direction of tightening to the left foot 2, but the first elastic region 3 does not surround the entire left foot 2 in the width direction, but instead forms the metatarsal ligament 9. Only the corresponding foot sole part 11 and the parts that contact both side parts 13 and 13 are covered. That is, the first elastic region 3 is “U-shaped”.
Accordingly, as shown by the arrows in FIG. 4, the tightening force acts in a direction in which the both side portions 13, 13 approach both proximal ends 14, 14 of the metatarsal ligament 9 (lateral arch). The foot ligament 9 is corrected in a lateral arch-like reproduction direction.
[0015]
And since the 1st elastic region 3 is not formed in the part contact | abutted to the foot surface part 15 of the metatarsal ligament 9, the metatarsal ligament 9 is tightened from the foot surface part 15 toward the sole 11. Power does not work.
If a tightening force acts in this direction, the lateral arch tends to collapse. It is an advantage of the present invention that the clamping force in this direction does not work.
Therefore, when the sock 1 is worn, the metatarsal ligament 9 is successfully regenerated in the desired transverse arch shape.
[0016]
When the sock 1 is put on, the left foot 2 is not surrounded by the first elastic region 3, so there is almost no discomfort due to tightening.
The second elastic region 21 protects the Achilles tendon by tightening from the back portion 23 side.
[0017]
The embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, but the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and the present invention can be changed even if there is a design change without departing from the gist of the present invention. include.
For example, the second elastic region may not be formed. Further, even when formed, it may not be formed of the same material as the first elastic region, and the elastic force may be adjusted by changing the degree of weaving of rubber or the like.
You may provide five bags so that the tip of socks can put a finger one by one. Further, the tip may be opened.
[0018]
【The invention's effect】
According to the sock with a correction function of the present invention, the metatarsal ligament can be corrected and regenerated into a desired transverse arch shape without giving the discomfort of tightening when worn.
