Description

  The present invention is provided with a taping structure that exhibits a taping effect in a range centered on a kinematic fulcrum inside a predetermined joint of a human body by wearing so as to cover a portion including a joint portion of the human body, and the same. Regarding clothing.

  Conventionally, with regard to the lower body covering such as a long girdle that can be supported by holding the taping function, the predetermined outer and inner strips of the width that can be taped have stronger elastic properties than the components of the cover body. Is disclosed. This is because the inner edge of the outer band-shaped piece extends from the outer side of the buttocks of the waist part to the outer side of the thigh, the lower front thigh, and the outer side of the hem part by avoiding the patella. The outer band of the inner band-shaped piece forms a longitudinal center line on the inner side of the thigh and wraps around the whole body side of the thigh and the retraction part except for the patella. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1). With this configuration, the inner strip and outer strip are allotted to the entire circumference excluding the predetermined area of the empty window, and by tightening the body surface equivalent to the taping device, the effect of reducing muscle fatigue and Provided for prevention and treatment.

Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-41641

  However, the wear incorporating the above-described conventional taping structure lacks the anchoring function to the skin surface, which is a major premise in taping, even if the taping theory is the core. That is, even if taping is performed without fixing to the skin surface, which is called anchor fixation, the taping tape slides on the skin surface, and the taping effect is reduced or invalidated. In particular, the greater the applied force, the more the body needs to be protected and the external force distributed, but the more the skin surface slips.

  For example, even if the above-mentioned wear has a built-in taping structure, it does not correspond to the fact that the taping structure slides on the skin surface, but it is caused by a decrease in fixing force, excessive muscle contraction or excessive tension (such as spasm). It is not compatible. More specifically, the role of preventing the reduction of the sliding up of the end and the role of connection between the taping structures all depend on the limit strength of the wear, and in order to draw out the role of these taping structures, There is no choice but to increase the tensile strength. However, if the tensile strength of the wear is increased in order to bring out the effect of the taping structure, a problem in wearing occurs. Furthermore, if the tensile strength of the wear is increased to the same level as that of the taping structure, the meaning of the taping structure itself is lost.

  On the other hand, since the supporter is not fixed to the skin, slipping occurs. If the elastic modulus of the supporter is lowered in order to obtain a supporter effect, problems such as limitation of range of motion, lowering of exercise ability, and shortening of wearing time tend to occur. On the contrary, if the elastic modulus is increased, the slip increases and the supporter effects such as the supporter's fixation and restoration properties are lowered, so that there is a possibility that the protection of joints and muscles may be expected to be hindered. Even if the frictional force with the skin surface of the supporter is considered as a substitute for the anchor function, if a large frictional force is applied, the movement is restricted, and the motility during wearing is reduced. Conversely, if the frictional force is reduced, the fixing property and the restoring force are reduced.

  In the first place, the supporter is different from taping in that the entire support portion is fastened and fixed over a wide range, so that the movement is restricted by an extra range of fixation, and the feeling of fatigue during exercise increases. That is, although the supporter has an independent structure, the efficiency of the supporter effect and the wearer's fatigue are inversely proportional.

  In addition, even for a simple combination of wear and supporter, each effect of wear and supporter has a fundamentally unspecified range, so even if a taping structure is simply formed inside the structure of the supporter or wearer Inconsistencies and malfunctions occur.

  Therefore, the present invention has an object to provide a taping structure that can exert a taping effect by exerting an anchoring function to the skin surface without being attached to the skin surface, and a clothing provided with the taping structure. To do.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following means (1) to (4).

(1) A taping structure of the present invention is a taping structure made of a cylindrical cloth that can be worn around a kinematic fulcrum inside a predetermined joint of a human body,
A support band 1 that is positioned so as to substantially abut against the joint head H at the time of wearing and radially extends from the central joint head H to the plurality of connection bands 3;
A pair of anchor bands 2 at both ends that have anchor openings 20 that are attached to the human body at both ends of the circumferential wearing range and fastened to the human body;
A plurality of intermittent hole rows formed between a pair of anchor bands 2 at both ends by a group of intermittent holes 4 arranged at regular pattern intervals along the circumferential direction of the outer periphery of the cylinder.
And each intermittent hole row | line | column is arrange | positioned with respect to each adjacent intermittent hole row | line | column, and the phase of the surrounding direction of the intermittent hole 4 has shifted | deviated, It is characterized by the above-mentioned.

  By providing a plurality of rows of intermittent holes so that the phases are different in adjacent rows, the intermittent holes 4 in each row are not straight with respect to the row direction (the cylinder length direction extending between the anchor bands 2). , Lined up diagonally. Since the tube length direction is substantially the direction along the skeleton axis of the human body at the time of wearing, the structural cloth between the intermittent holes 4 has elasticity in the inclined direction intersecting the skeleton axis. Therefore, all the stretching force in the vertical direction along the skeleton axis is converted into the tilt direction, and the support cloth 1 is not easily displaced even by the movement of the joint.

  If it is said thing, an external force will be reduced to the kinematic fulcrum used as the dynamic center inside a joint. And secure the alliance of the joint in the joint, and suppress the damage and pain of the joint. Moreover, by protecting the dynamic center point without shifting, it is possible to support the health and muscle movement around the joint.

  Specifically, for example, the perfect circular or elliptical intermittent holes 44 are arranged obliquely with respect to the direction of the extension axis from the joint. That is, a pair of perfect circular or elliptical intermittent holes 44 arranged on both side portions in each of the upper and lower rows of the support band 1 are shifted in phase by 90 degrees in the row overlapping the support band 1, so that the extension axis A pair of intermittent holes 4 are disposed in the front and rear surface portions that are obliquely shifted with respect to the direction. In addition, a perfect circle or an ellipse becomes a flat circle deform | transformed nonuniformly by expansion | extension of the cylindrical cloth at the time of mounting | wearing. This flat circle is deformed so as to spread mainly in the circumferential direction, and becomes a horizontally long flat ellipse.

By having the intermittent holes 4, the stress is transmitted along the curved edges while being distributed over the entire connecting band 3 between the intermittent holes 4. Thereby, a large stress concentration does not occur, and elasticity with little bias is obtained. Due to elastic deformation, the flat shape is unlikely to be obtained, and the support position by the support band 1 and the fixing position by the anchor band 2 are not greatly shifted by maintaining the original shape.
(2) The anchor band 2 is
It gives a taping effect to a predetermined joint of the human body by wearing it,
One or a plurality of support bands 1 that cover the joint head H of the predetermined joint and each support with elasticity in a plurality of radial directions around the joint head H;
Anchor bands 2 (tip band and proximal band) that are annularly attached to the human body at each of the anchor openings 20, and
It is composed of support bands 1 or a plurality of connecting bands 3 that connect support bands 1 and anchor bands 2 (21, 22),
The connecting band 3 is provided between the intermittent holes 4 with respect to the arrangement direction, and the support band 1 is pulled along the radial direction.

  If this is the case, the force applied to the support band 1 by the movement of the joint is distributed to each connecting band 3, and the stretching force applied to the connecting band 3 is converted into the winding direction of the anchor band 2 at both ends. The For this reason, the greater the external force applied to the support band 1, the more the external force is transmitted to the articulation band 3, giving a large expansion reaction force radially to the joint head H, and the displacement of the position of the articulation band 3 is prevented by the external force. The Rukoto. For this reason, the tension of the components of the taping structure is balanced mechanically by itself in both the non-pressurized static state and the dynamic state of the pressurized object of a predetermined limit. It has shape retention by force balance that does not depend.

By causing radial tension around the joint head H to be generated and converting the tension into the wrapping force of the anchor bands 2 at both ends, the taping structure can be attached to the skin. The joint portion can be efficiently supported without causing a displacement.
(3) The support band 1 has elasticity in four directions by two intersecting lines that are symmetric with respect to the joint axis, and the connecting band 3 is connected to the anchor band 2 so that it can expand and contract along the four directions. Is preferred.

The support band 1 has, for example, a square shape made of curved edges, and has elasticity in four directions that are diagonal lines of the square. Since the force is evenly distributed in the vertical direction, and the distributed force is evenly propagated to the anchor bands 2 at both ends, the balance of force is more evenly maintained around the joint.
(4) The clothing of the present invention is characterized in that the taping structure according to any one of the above is sewn to a clothing cloth along a human body surface by clothing.

  The support band 1 has elasticity in three or four directions by two intersecting lines that are symmetric with respect to the joint axis, and the connecting band 3 can expand and contract in the winding direction of the anchor band 2 along the three or four directions. It continues to.

The support band 1 has, for example, a square shape made of curved edges, and has elasticity in four directions that are diagonal lines of the square. Since the force is evenly distributed in the vertical direction, and the distributed force is evenly propagated to the anchor bands 2 at both ends, the balance of force is more evenly maintained around the joint.
As the amount of deformation increases, the internal stress of the anchor band 2 increases, and the peripheral end portion is strongly fastened to exert the anchor function. Unlike the conventional anchor fixing with an adhesive tape, the taping structure becomes more difficult to shift as the joint moves larger, although it is not attached and fixed to the human body.

  If it is the thing of the said structure, the support belt | band | zone 1 contact | abutted to the joint head H will be anchor-fixed to a human body by the anchor belt | band | zone 2 as a whole, with the connection belt | band | zone 3 being supported radially. As a result, it has become possible to provide a taping structure capable of exerting an anchoring function to the skin surface and performing a taping effect without being attached to the skin surface, and a clothing provided with the taping structure. .

<Overall structure of taping structure of the present invention>
The taping structure of the present invention basically includes a single cylindrical body (Examples 1 and 2 and Examples 7 to 7) having anchor openings 20 at both ends for passing through one or a plurality of predetermined joints of a human body. 11) or a combination of a plurality of cylindrical bodies (Examples 3 to 6). This cylindrical body has the following basic configuration, and can be attached integrally within a range centered on the dynamic center of the predetermined joint.
A plurality of connecting bands located between adjacent intermittent hole rows (between the first intermittent hole row 41 and the second intermittent hole row 42, between the second intermittent hole row 42 and the third intermittent hole row 43,...). The support band 1 which is connected to the joint head H of the target joint at the center position when worn.
・ Anchor band 2 that exerts an anchoring function to the human skin surface by tightening the circumference
A connecting band 3 located between the intermittent holes 4 and connecting the anchor band 2 and the support band 1 to each other
A plurality of intermittent hole rows (first intermittent hole row 41, second row) each including a plurality of intermittent holes 4 arranged in the row direction extending between the anchor openings 20 at both ends and arranged along the circumferential direction of the outer circumference of the cylinder. Intermittent hole row 42, third intermittent hole row 43, ...)
And in all the embodiments of the taping structure of the present invention, the intermittent hole rows (41, 42, 43,...) Are out of phase with the intermittent holes 4 in the circumferential direction of the adjacent intermittent hole rows. Arranged. As a result, the connecting band 3 expands and contracts only in the direction inclined with respect to the row direction, and the tension due to the expansion and contraction of the connecting band 3 is transmitted as an internal stress to the anchor band 2, and the human body due to the circumferential wearing of the anchor band 2 The tightening power is strengthened.

  In the present invention, the anchor band 2 fulfills the anchor function by increasing its circumferential wearing function, and does not slide up or slip. In addition, the internal stress of the tension is finally converted into the circumferential direction of the anchor band 2, and the force in the direction orthogonal to the anchor body is not applied at the time of conversion, so that the state is balanced mechanically.

(Mechanical dynamic center point protection)
That is, in the present invention, the dynamic dynamic center point inside the joint is the center point for generating force, and the joint heads H at both ends of the center point are surrounded by the pair of taping bands 1 from both sides. The taping bands 1 are connected in a radial manner by connecting bands 3 from four directions and fixed to the human body by anchor bands 2 at the upper and lower ends. When force is transmitted from the inside, tension is generated from the taping band 1 to the surrounding connecting band 3. This tension is originally intended to be transmitted linearly on the body surface of the human body structure, but in the present invention, the tension does not expand or contract in the row direction perpendicular to the anchor band 2, and the tension is on the surface. Is transmitted to the back side in the circumferential direction while turning around at an angle. This is because each intermittent hole row is arranged with a phase in the circumferential direction of the intermittent holes 4 being shifted with respect to the adjacent intermittent hole row, and the connecting band 3 has a portion that continues straight in the row direction (vertical direction). Based on not.

  The tension that wraps around the body surface is converted into an internal pressure in the extension direction of the articulation band 3 that partially extends around the joint, and this internal pressure applies pressure (internal pressure) toward the center in the body direction and the joint direction. Encourage them to add. This internal pressure works to protect the joint and its components such as meshing and anastomosis, and generates a force with the dynamic center as a fulcrum. Thereby, an appropriate taping effect can be exhibited without deteriorating athletic ability.

  As a result, it is possible to continue to apply pressure around the dynamic center point of the joint, and even when the joint is moved and deformed, the taping structure itself maintains mechanical independence. By maintaining the mechanical independence due to the deformation, for example, even when fixed to the clothes, the taping effect can always be exhibited without depending on the tensile strength of the clothes body.

  Further, when used in a structure in which the joint head H protrudes, such as an ankle joint, radial tension is applied from the taping band 1 to the surrounding connecting band 3 even in a stationary state. In such a case, the joint expands and contracts more when the joint moves, the tension generated by the movement increases, and pressure (internal pressure) is immediately applied in response to the movement.

(Tightening with anchor band 2)
The internal pressure to the connecting body is finally converted into an internal pressure in the circumferential direction of the anchor band 2 at both ends of the taping structure. Thereby, the anchor effect in taping can be exhibited, without shifting | deviating even if it does not stick on skin.

(Extension / contraction characteristics by high tension line)
In the supporter structures of the ninth embodiment (FIG. 19) and the eleventh embodiment (FIG. 26) of the present invention, the supporter cloth 60, the anchor band 2, and the band body 30 are overlapped and partially sewn and fixed as separate materials. Become. Specifically, in the ninth and eleventh embodiments, the plurality of strips 30 extend obliquely as connecting members 3 from the equally spaced positions on the annular anchor strips 2 at both ends. 3) The two intersect with each other as the support band 1 at the intersection in each extending direction. The plurality of belt bodies 30 are arranged in a diamond shape in a cross line shape or a net shape as shown in FIGS. 19 and 26, and are fixed to the anchor belts 2 at both ends by stitching. Further, a supporter cloth 60 in which a plurality of intermittent holes 4 are intermittently formed is arranged so as to cover the entire back side (inside when mounted) of the anchor band 2 and the band body 30. The supporter cloth 60 is formed in a cylindrical shape corresponding to the mounting location, with the upper and lower ends being anchor openings. In addition, the anchor band 2 is arranged along each anchor opening, and the supporter cloth 60 and the anchor band 2 are fixed by stitching along both sides of the band width of the anchor band 2. A plurality of strips 30 overlap the surface of the supporter cloth 60 formed into a loop in a cylindrical shape, and circular intermittent holes 641, 642, 643 shown in FIG. . The band bodies 30 are arranged in a rhombus cross line obliquely in a rhombus cross line, and a portion overlapping the center position of each rhombus is the center position of the intermittent hole 4. The intersecting portion of the plurality of belt bodies 30 has a radial tension structure centered on the joint head H as the support band 1, and a complex tension structure in which the entire loop is formed in a cylindrical shape.

  In the ninth and eleventh embodiments, the tension structure portions such as the anchor band 2 and the band body 30 are overlapped as separate members on the supporter cloth 60. However, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration as in the eighth embodiment (FIG. 18). Alternatively, only the lower anchor band 2 may be secured and fixed by the fixing portion 2S. In addition, it can be considered that Examples 1 to 7 and Example 10 are integrally formed by enclosing the anchor band 2, the band body 30, and the support band 1 in a single elastic cloth. it can.

(Intermittent hole 4)
In all of the embodiments, the intermittent hole 4 is configured as a stitched hole made of a non-stretchable thread that does not have a straight portion and has only a curved line, and the intermittent hole 4 is difficult to deform. For example, as shown in FIG. 15, a double circular shape surrounding the periphery of the hole edge as shown in FIG. 16, for example, by sewing and fixing along the hole edge of the intermittent hole 4 with a cloth 5 having a small expansion / contraction amount. The first stitched portion 4S1 and the second stitched portion 4S2 continuously stitched zigzag between the first stitched portion 4S1 and the hole edge are sewn so that the hole edge itself, that is, the peripheral length of the hole is difficult to expand and contract. Composed.

  Due to the movement of the wearer's joints, tension is generated in the belt 30, the supporter cloth 60, and the connecting body 3 along the extension direction. This tension is changed along the periphery of the intermittent hole 4 after the direction is changed. This is accompanied by a bypass effect of turning around to the left and right sides, and further to the back side of the entire structure composed of the cylindrical body (see FIG. 24C). The bypass effect is such that the load tension generated by the joint movement is circulated along the circular edge of the intermittent hole 4 and preferentially transmitted around it, and is transmitted in a directional manner while being divided into left and right and wrapping around the body surface. As a result, a significant force is reduced with respect to the tension generating portion.

  In addition, since the hole edge portion of the intermittent hole 4 is composed only of a curve having no straight portion and is sewn as non-stretchable, there is no tension inside the intermittent hole 4 and the remaining portion excluding the intermittent hole 4 A relatively high tension is transmitted in a loop over the entire portion. Furthermore, a larger force is applied to a portion where adjacent intermittent holes 4 are close to each other, and a high tension point having a higher tension than the surroundings is generated. Here, since the plurality of intermittent holes 4 are arranged in a rhombus so that each central part has a vertically oriented rhombus shape, the high tension lines connecting the high tension points are shown in FIGS. 21, 22, and 24. As shown in FIG. 3, the cross-line or net is arranged. In FIG. 21, the tension at the high tension point 70 at the end is relatively small, and the high tension point 71 on the end row on the rows of the first and third intermittent hole rows 41 and 43 is larger than these. The high tension point 72 on the center row in the second intermittent hole row 42 is the largest, and the high tension point 72 on the center row is the center of the support band 1 in common with the intermediate prefix H. Yes.

  The high tension line based on the difference in tension density as shown in FIGS. 21, 22 or 24 is provided by the arrangement of the non-stretchable intermittent holes 4, and the stretch of the constituent material of the supporter structure such as rubber. It can be said that it is the second elastic property other than the property. In the taping structure of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 24 (a) and 24 (b), a tension transmission path (high tension line) that is intended to be transmitted linearly through a plane portion is formed as a circular intermittent hole consisting only of a curved edge. The hole edge of 4 is made into a non-stretchable configuration, and is controlled by adopting an appropriate diamond-like arrangement, so that directivity is given and reduced as a useful force. Thereby, the structure on the body surface has acquired higher braking performance and a restoring force of the mechanical center point (support band 1 portion).

(Comparison with general taping and supporter)
Here, the taping and the supporter differ in the covering range of partial covering and full covering, and the presence or absence of application to the skin. The original taping is a taped band that is tensioned around the target joint and covers only the necessary parts around it, and the taping band is adhesively fixed to the skin with anchors at both ends. Taping protects the center point of the dynamic mechanical joint by specifically fixing only the necessary part, and can adjust the direction and strength of the required internal pressure. However, the effect changes depending on the way of taping, and it depends on the ability of the taping practitioner.

  On the other hand, the supporter is an integrated covering body that covers the entire surface of the target joint to limit the movement thereof. The movement is restrained by simply tightening the periphery of the joint over a wide range with the entire supporter cloth that is not attached and fixed to the skin. For this reason, the dynamic center point of dynamics and the direction and strength of the internal pressure necessary for protection cannot be adjusted, instead of being easily mounted and not being affected by technology and experience.

  In the present invention, in order to provide both convenience and effect of both the taping and the supporter, as a taping structure of an integrated structure that covers only a necessary part of the joint without having a fixing means to the skin by an adhesive portion or the like. Yes.

(Relationship between hole diameter and elongation rate of intermittent hole 4)
The relationship between the hole diameter of the intermittent holes 4 and the elongation rate is preferably as follows.
(1) The elongation rate on the cross section that crosses the center of the intermittent holes 4 in the same row at the time of installation is X, the elongation rate S1 when the material is released in the lateral direction is 150%, and the elongation rate S2 when installed in the lateral direction is 120%. And If the hole diameter 4D of the intermittent hole 4 is 40% with respect to the circumferential length of the cross section, the required elongation ratio X is 110% from the following formula 1.

このとき、伸長率Ｘは必ず１００％を超えることが必要であり、例えば筋収縮時の身体部の周囲増大率Ｙが１０６％であれば、伸長率Ｘは装着時伸長率１２０％の増加割合２０％を考慮した１２６％超の値となる必要がある。

At this time, it is necessary that the elongation rate X exceeds 100%. For example, if the peripheral increase rate Y of the body part during muscle contraction is 106%, the elongation rate X is an increase rate of the stretch rate 120% when worn. The value needs to exceed 126% considering 20%.

  (2) When the limit elongation rate of the intermittent hole 4D with respect to the length of the perimeter of the cross section is L (%), the following formula 2 is established in the direction crossing the center of the two intermittent holes 4 arranged in a row.

上記（１）の数値を当てはめると数式３のようになり、間欠孔４は孔径４Ｄが限界伸長率Ｌ＝１２％を超えない数式４を満たすような伸長率で無ければならない。

When the numerical value of the above (1) is applied, Equation 3 is obtained, and the intermittent hole 4 must have an elongation rate that satisfies Equation 4 in which the hole diameter 4D does not exceed the limit elongation rate L = 12%.

（３）間欠孔４の周囲の伸縮率すなわち円形の間欠孔４の円周Ｒ１に対する波形の総延長Ｒ２の割合をＺとする。横断面周囲の伸縮率Ｚが張力構造に影響しないためには、下記数式５が成立する必要がある。

(3) The expansion / contraction ratio around the intermittent hole 4, that is, the ratio of the total extension R2 of the waveform to the circumference R1 of the circular intermittent hole 4 is Z. In order that the expansion / contraction ratio Z around the cross section does not affect the tension structure, the following Expression 5 needs to be satisfied.

上記（１）の条件によれば、間欠孔４がない場合の横断面の伸縮率は１５０％であり、装着時の伸長率が１２０％、伸長率Ｘ１１０％であるから、数式５に基づいて（Ｓ１-Ｓ２）-X＝２０％が導き出される。
横断面周囲の長さに対して２つの間欠孔４Ｄが占める長さは４０％なので、２０（％）を４０（％）で除した５０％と１００％との和１５０％が、横断面伸縮率の最大限界値Ｚとなる。Ｚの値が低いほど張力比率の高い構造となる。

According to the above condition (1), the expansion / contraction ratio of the cross section without the intermittent holes 4 is 150%, the expansion ratio at the time of mounting is 120%, and the expansion ratio X110%. (S1-S2) -X = 20% is derived.
Since the length of the two intermittent holes 4D with respect to the length of the circumference of the cross section is 40%, the sum of 50% obtained by dividing 20 (%) by 40 (%) and 100% is 150%. It becomes the maximum limit value Z of the rate. The lower the value of Z, the higher the tension ratio.

(Relationship between hole diameter and center distance)
In order to ensure the calculated tension transmission path and pressure angle directivity in a cross-line or net shape, the number and size of the intermittent holes are naturally defined, and a vertical square array as shown in FIG. Is the most ideal arrangement. However, the distance to the mechanical center varies with the number and size. As shown in FIG. 25, since the tension becomes diffusive when the inter-hole distance is large, the size of the intermittent hole 4 (hole diameter 4D) should be increased proportionally. Conversely, if the inter-hole distance is small, the hole diameter 4D should be reduced proportionally.

    Hereinafter, each configuration will be described in detail based on examples.
