Description

  The present invention relates to a fastening device, a fastening device used therefor, and a medical device.

  When the function of a part of the body such as the upper and lower limbs is reduced or lost due to illness or injury, a device corresponding to the affected part is attached to assist or treat the function of the affected part. For example, a patient who has had hemiplegia due to a sequelae of stroke, etc. has difficulty in flexing and stretching the lower limbs that are paralyzed at his will, sometimes when swinging the affected lower limbs forward while walking ( I can't walk well because my toes get caught in the ground. For such a symptom, for example, various lower limb orthoses such as a short lower limb orthosis are used. Conventionally, as for attaching various kinds of braces such as short leg braces to the affected area, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, it has a square ring formed in an endless rectangular frame shape through a hole in the center. The fasteners 11a and 12a are used for engaging and fixing the belts 11 and 12 from the tips of the belts to the holes of the square ring and locking them with a belt fastener or the like. However, for example, in the above-described fastening configuration with a belt and a stopper having a square ring, when the brace is worn by the patient himself, the angular ring is slightly damaged due to illness, injury, or deterioration of physical function due to aging. It was difficult to pass the belt smoothly through the hole, and it was not possible to install it in a short time. In particular, in the case of patients with hemiplegia, etc., one hand and one leg are inconvenient, so the belt can be operated with only one hand on the healthy side without paralysis and passed through the hole in the square ring. It is cumbersome and takes time to wear, and it may be difficult for the patient to wear the brace smoothly.

  On the other hand, the present applicant has proposed a fastening device that can perform a fastening operation smoothly with one hand even in a patient with hemiplegia, for example, in Patent Document 2 filed earlier. The fastening device of Patent Document 2 includes a holder portion with a long hole-like through hole attached to a device main body, a belt body that is linked to a holder portion via a link body and fastens a body part, and a holder portion. And a link body interposed between the belt bodies, and the link body is formed of a substantially U-shaped shaft rod that is held by the holder portion with one shaft flange portion being passed through the through hole of the holder portion. Consists of things. When attaching the brace to the affected area, it is only necessary to insert the belt body into the link body composed of a substantially U-shaped shaft rod from the U-shaped opening side and fix the belt body with the hook-and-loop fastener. A troublesome operation of inserting a belt into the ring hole from the tip like a ring is unnecessary, and the fastening operation can be performed easily and in a short time.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the fastening device 10a for the brace disposed on the upper front side of the lower leg portion of the brace body 2 includes a holder 12, a belt body 14, and a link body. 16a. Then, on the open front side of the appliance body 2 having a substantially U-shaped cross section, the holder portion 12 and the link body 16a held by the holder portion 12 are provided on one end side, and the belt body 14 is provided on the other end side. The belt body 14 is linked to the holder portion 12 via the link body 16a to fasten the crus. The holder portion 12 has a support portion 18 that supports the link body 16a. In the present embodiment, for example, one band member having a required width is folded in two, and the link portion is linked to the fold portion. The overlapping surface portion is provided by bonding with an adhesive or stitching while forming a through hole 19 through which a part of the body 16a passes. The holder portion 12 is fixed to the appliance main body 2 by fixing means such as a rivet 20 in a state where the support portion 18 is disposed on the front side.

  The belt body 14 is, for example, a flexible belt member having a certain width of about 5 cm and a required length and a thickness of about 1 to 2 mm. The other end side is fixed to the rivet 22 and the other end side is a free end. By means, it is fixed on the side of the appliance body 2 facing the holder part 12. The belt body 14 is a cuff belt that tightly attaches a part of the lower leg part together with the lower leg attaching part 2a of the orthosis body 2 when linked to the holder part 12 via the link body 16a. A pad member 24 of a flexible elastic material that is slightly wider than the belt body is fixed to a portion of the belt body 14 that is applied to the front surface of the lower leg. On the outer surface side of the belt body 14, a surface fastener female member 26 and a male member 27 are arranged in series in the longitudinal direction and fixed by sewing or adhesive. As shown in FIG. 3, the belt body 14 is wound so as to be folded back at the front end side when engaged with the link body 16a, and the surface fastener male and female members 26 and 27 are overlapped and detachably locked. .

  The link body 16a is a fastening tool that is interposed between the holder portion 12 and the belt body 14 and fastens the belt body 14 as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, and in this embodiment, For example, a fastener that is integrally formed of a metal such as stainless steel. The link body 16a may be integrally molded with a hard synthetic resin such as reinforced plastic or other hard material, for example. As shown in FIG. 4, the link body 16 a is formed with an opening 28 serving as an insertion opening for the belt body 14 on the other side with one side supported by the support 18 of the holder 12. This is a frame member having a groove portion serving as a liaison portion of the belt body 14. In the present embodiment, for example, the belt member 14 has a long groove portion 30 made of a vertically long frame member and having an opening 28 on the short side. Specifically, the link body 16a is disposed in parallel with the belt side rod 32 wound in a state where the belt body 14 is engaged with the long groove portion 30, and is wound around the support portion 18 in parallel with the belt side rod 32. The holder side piece 36 having the support hole 34 and the connecting bar 38 that connects the belt side bar 32 and the holder side piece 36 on the non-open side, that is, on the other short side facing the open port 28, are integrally formed. It is formed and configured. That is, it is a deformed U-shaped frame member in which a vertically long belt side rod 32 and a holder side piece 36 are connected via a relatively short connecting rod 38, and the belt side rod 32 and the holder side piece 36 are A long groove portion 30 having an opening 28 in between is formed. In the present embodiment, the link body 16 a is supported by the holder portion 12 with the opening 28 set on the upper side of the medical device 1. Thereby, it is easy to confirm the position of the opening 28 and to perform the insertion operation of the belt body 14. The opening port 28 of the link body 16a may be set on the lower side and supported by the holder portion 12, and the opening direction of the opening port 28 may be set as appropriate depending on the type of equipment and the convenience of the user. Moreover, in this embodiment, although the holder part 12 and the belt body 14 are attached to the appliance main body 2, it is not restricted to this, For example, the holder part 12 which supports a link body in the one end part side of one strip | belt-shaped member, The belt body 14 may be formed on the other end side, and the middle position of the belt-shaped member may be attached to the appliance or the like.

  The belt side rod 32 is formed of a shaft rod provided in a substantially linear shape and slightly longer than the width of the belt body 12, and a hook portion 40 is integrally formed at the end portion facing the opening 28. . The hook portion 40 is formed, for example, in a substantially J shape with the hook inside recessed in an arc shape, and a nose 42 is disposed toward the holder side piece 36 side. The nose 42 of the hook portion 40 forms a downward slope that gradually narrows the opening 28 toward the inside of the long groove portion 30. The hook inside of the hook portion 40 is continuous with the long groove portion 30. For example, the hook width is set slightly larger than the thickness of the belt body 14. In the state where the belt body 14 is wound around the belt side rod, the hook portion 40 engages with the thickness side of the belt body 14 inside the hook when moving to the opening 28 side of the belt body, 14 is reliably prevented. In the drawing, the belt side rod 32 is provided so that the cross-sectional shape gradually decreases toward the end portion, but it may be formed with the same diameter in the longitudinal direction. Further, the belt body is not limited to a complete straight plate, and may be slightly curved as long as the belt body is wound.

  The holder-side piece 36 is a ridge that forms a long groove portion 30 between the support rod 44 that engages with the support portion 18 of the holder portion 12 and the belt-side rod 32 that is provided on the inner side facing the belt-side rod 32. And a support hole 34 is formed between the support collar 44 and the peak projection 46. The support rod 44 is made of, for example, a straight rod having substantially the same length as the belt side rod 32 and is supported in a state of being penetrated through the through hole 19 of the holder portion 12. The cross-sectional shape of the support rod 44 may be an arbitrary shape such as a circular shape, an elliptical shape, or a polygonal shape. However, if the cross-sectional shape is formed in a substantially rectangular shape, the corner portion of the support rod 44 is engaged with the holder portion and linked. The body is less likely to rotate around the axis, making it easier to perform fastening operations. In the present embodiment, the ridged protrusion 46 is formed of a meandering curved ridge having ends connected to both ends of the support rod 44. Specifically, the curved rod is connected to the end of the support rod 44 on the side of the opening 28 with a rounded corner and an acute angle, and at least a part of the long groove portion 30 is directed toward the belt side rod 32 so as to narrow the width. Two projecting tops 50 projecting in a substantially square shape are provided side by side. In other words, the mountain-shaped protrusion 46 has an inclined portion 48 that protrudes in a projecting direction in the proximity of the belt side collar 32 provided at a position facing the nose 42 at a portion facing the opening 28. Further, two ridges are formed in a row so as to form a mountain (projection top 50), a valley, and a mountain (projection top 50) continuously toward the belt side collar 32, and supported by the inclined portion 48. The other end portion of the support rod is also connected with an inclination toward the flange 44. Therefore, the opening 28 formed between the inclined portion 48 of the peak protrusion 46 and the inclination of the nose 42 of the hook portion 40 is formed so as to become gradually narrower from the outside toward the inside of the long groove portion 30. In addition, a relatively wide insertion opening width can be secured and the belt body 14 can be guided into the long groove portion 30 along the inclination to perform a smooth insertion operation. For example, the size of the protrusion 46 in the protrusion direction of the protrusion 46 is substantially the same as or slightly larger than the width of the gap 12 formed between the protrusion 50 and the belt side collar 32. Is set to about. The mountain-shaped protrusion 46 reduces the play of the winding portion R of the belt body 14 associated with the long groove portion 30 by the protruding top portion 50, and the winding portion R is in the short side direction X (holder) of the link body 16a. Even if it tries to move in the direction toward the side piece 36, in other words, in the direction of the protruding side of the hook part, it hits the protruding top part 50 so that the position of the winding part does not move beyond the hook part 40 to the position directly below the opening. regulate. In other words, the peak protrusion 46 is a means for gently restraining the belt body and restricting the shift toward the holder side piece 36 in the long groove portion 30. Thus, in the tightened state, the movement of the belt body winding portion R in the short side direction X is restricted by the mountain-shaped protrusion 46, and the belt body 14 is opened along the longitudinal direction of the belt side rod 32. Even if it moves to the side, the thickness side is securely locked to the hook portion 40, and the belt body 14 can be satisfactorily held without being detached from the long groove portion 30. Note that the mountain-shaped protrusion 46 may be provided with one protruding top 50 like a link body 16b on the front surface of the ankle joint described later. However, when the width of the belt body 14 is wide, the mountain-shaped protrusion 46 is provided. There is a risk that the belt body swings and becomes unstable with the periphery of the apex of the protrusion as a fulcrum, and a large play occurs, causing a sense of incongruity at the time of wearing and the belt body coming off. By providing two or more ridged protrusions, the belt body can be engaged at a plurality of positions in the width direction, and the belt body can be stably held.

  In the present embodiment, the support hole 34 is a through-hole having two protrusions toward the belt-side flange due to the shape of a ridged protrusion including a support flange 44 and a curved flange. The upper and lower corners of the support hole 34 are narrow, and are in contact with the upper and lower edges of the support portion 18 of the holder portion. The shape of the support hole 34 may be any shape as long as the support portion 18 of the holder portion 12 is wound around, for example, an elongated hole, an elliptical hole, or a rectangular hole. The connecting rod 38 is bent in a convex arc shape with the non-open side of the long frame member facing the outside.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the fastening device 10b on the front surface of the ankle joint has substantially the same configuration as the fastening device 10a, and includes a holder portion 12, a belt body 14, and a link body 16b. The same members are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted. The fastening device 10b on the front surface of the ankle joint is formed such that the width of the belt body 14 is relatively narrow, for example, about 3 cm, and the link body 16b is formed with a size corresponding to the width of the belt body. The basic structure of the link body 16b is the same as the link body 16a of the fastening device 10a on the upper side of the crus, but the form of the ridged protrusion 46 is different, and there is one protruding top 50. It consists of a generally square-shaped curved ridge. That is, the width of the belt body 14 is set according to the magnitude of the load applied to the fastening portion, and the link bodies 16a and 16b set the number of ridges 46 corresponding to the width of the belt body 14, When the width of the belt body 14 is relatively narrow, one peak portion is formed. When the width of the belt body 14 is relatively wide, two or more peak portions are formed side by side. Good.

  In addition, for example, the configuration of the link body including the shape of the ridged protrusion 46 and the specific shape of the support hole 34 may be arbitrary. For example, FIG. 7 shows a link body 16c according to another embodiment. The same members as those in the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted. As shown in FIG. 7, the shape of the ridged protrusion 46 is different, and the shape of the protruding top 50 c continuing to the inclined portion 48 is not a substantially square shape, but is formed in a straight line substantially parallel to the belt side collar. Yes. Further, the support hole 34 is a narrow groove through hole having a width around which the support portion 18 of the holder portion 12 is wound. Even in such a link body 16c, it is possible to realize the operation and effect that the fastening operation of the belt body to the link body can be performed easily and in a short time, and the belt body can be reliably prevented from being detached during the fastening.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the fastening device 60 for the foot back portion includes a hook-and-loop fastener female member 62 on one end side of the orthosis main body 2 corresponding to the open top portion of the foot attaching portion 2 b of the orthosis main body 2. An end portion of the belt 61 provided on the inner surface side is fixed, and a surface fastener male member 63 as a stopper of the belt 61 is fixed on the other end portion side, and the free end portion of the belt 61 is detachably attached to the stopper. Lock and tighten. Note that the fastening device 10 according to the present invention may be applied to the fastening device for the foot back portion. That is, when there are a plurality of fastening parts in one brace, all the fastening parts may be configured by the fastening devices 10a and 10b according to the present embodiment, and the fastening device 10a according to the present embodiment, You may apply 10b and another fastening device simultaneously.

  When wearing the short leg brace 1 according to the present embodiment, the brace body 2 is worn from the lower leg part to the foot part. For example, as shown in FIG. The belt body 14 is lifted up with one hand, and the belt body 14 is moved in the belt body width direction (downward) while aligning the thickness side of the belt body 14 with the opening 28 of the link body 16 so that the belt body 14 is moved at two points. As indicated by the chain line, the link body 16a is inserted into the long groove portion 30. At this time, the belt body 14 can be guided and smoothly inserted into the long groove portion 30 from the relatively wide opening 28 by the inclination of the nose 42 of the hook portion 40 and the inclined portion 48 of the ridged protrusion 46. . Further, during the insertion operation into the long groove portion 30 through the opening of the belt body 14, the nose 42 of the hook portion 40 and the projecting top portion 50 of the peak portion 46 are simultaneously hit on the front and back sides of the belt body 14. Curved in the direction and weak resistance occurs. Since the resistance disappears when the belt body 14 is completely accommodated in the long groove portion 30 and engaged, it is understood that the user is accommodated in a predetermined engagement position. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the front side of the belt body 14 in a state of being engaged with the inside of the long groove portion 30 of the link body 16a is folded back from the belt side heel 32 and overlapped on the front side of the crus, so that the surface fastener ( 26, 27). Thereby, for example, it is possible to fasten simply and quickly with only one hand. Similarly, the front surface of the ankle joint is fastened through the fastening device 10b. Furthermore, the orthopedic device is fastened to the affected lower limb by fastening the belt 61 of the fastening device 60 of the foot back via the surface fasteners 62 and 63. In the mounted state, in the fastening devices 10a and 10b on the front side of the crus and the front surface of the ankle joint, the winding portion R of the belt body 14 that engages with the link bodies 16a and 16b is crested, and the protrusion 46 makes a short side direction. Since movement to X is restricted, even if the belt body 14 moves to the opening 28 side, the belt body 14 is surely locked to the hook portion 40, and the belt body 14 is surely detached from the long groove portion 30. This can prevent the safety of the brace equipped with the fastening device.

  The fastening device of the present invention described above is not limited to the configuration of only the above-described embodiment, and may be modified arbitrarily without departing from the essence of the present invention described in the claims. Good.

  The fastening device of the present invention and the fastening device and medical device used therefor are suitably used for, for example, an upper limb device, a lower limb device, a trunk device, and the like.
