Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a belt for preventing a knee supporter from slipping off.

[0002]

[Prior art and solutions]

 A knee supporter is usually knitted in a tubular shape from wool or other wool and is fixed so as to pass through the knee and protect the periphery of the knee. Such knee supports are widely used for the treatment of diseases of the knee joint and its surroundings, or for alleviating pain and other symptoms of the knee.

[0003] The conventional knee supporter is made of a thick cloth having elasticity rather than a woven cloth provided with rubber knitted parts at both ends from a wool by rubber knitting or the like. , And is fixed to the knee by its stretching force.

[0004] However, since the knee of a person repeatedly bends and stretches as he walks and exercises, the supporter attached to the knee easily falls off, and it is difficult to tighten the knee with the supporter's own stretching force alone. It was enough.

An object of the present invention is to provide a belt suitable for effectively preventing a supporter or a bandage attached to the knee from slipping off during walking or exercise.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The rubber belt for preventing slippage of the present invention is a rubber belt that is wrapped around a knee supporter or a bandage to prevent the supporter from slipping off, and the belt has a pair of long pieces at their central portions. An extensible natural rubber belt body integrally or separately joined and attached to each end surface to detachably connect corresponding ends of each long piece of the main body. And a hook-and-loop fastener.

[0007]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a rubber belt for preventing slip-off according to the present invention. The belt body has a shape in which a pair of long pieces 2 and 3 protruding left and right are joined at a joining portion 4 substantially at the center thereof. have. Each of the long pieces 2, 3 is integrally formed from natural rubber, has a moderate flexibility, is formed into a narrow band shape having an appropriate thickness, and is extensible so as to be wound around the knee. Has been prepared.

The belt body has hook-and-loop fasteners 5 and 6 attached to the end faces of the long pieces 2 and 3. The hook-and-loop fastener is such that, for each pair of long pieces, the hook-and-loop fasteners 5a and 6a are attached to one surface of one end 22 and 32 of the long piece, and the hook-and-loop fastener 5b and 6b are attached to the other surface of the other end 21 and 31. When the pair of long pieces are bent in a ring shape and the ends are overlapped, the fasteners 5a and 5b and 6a and 6b of the facing surfaces are connected. Therefore, when the ends of the above-mentioned pair of long pieces are connected with a fastener, two annular bands are formed at the connection portion 4 substantially at the center of the belt main body as shown in FIG.

In order to attach this rubber belt to the knee, as shown in FIG. 3, a connection portion 4 of the belt body is arranged on the back side of the knee, and one pair of long pieces 2 The upper thigh 71 is wound in an annular shape to connect the hook-and-loop fasteners 5a and 5b at the ends thereof, and the other pair of long pieces 3 is similarly wound around the thigh 72 immediately below the knee. The end surface fasteners 6a and 6b are connected to each other, whereby the rubber belt is fixed to the knee.

When the rubber belt is used, usually, a supporter 8 or a bandage is attached to the knee portion 7 in advance, and the rubber belt is attached to the supporter 8 or the bandage in the above-described manner.

The rubber belt may have a pair of long pieces having the same length in the upper and lower directions. However, as shown in FIG. Of the long pieces, it is preferable that the upper long piece 2 (2a, 2b), that is, the thigh side piece, is longer than the lower thigh side long piece 3 (3a, 3b).

Further, the joining portion 4 for joining the pair of long pieces 2 and 3 of the rubber belt does not necessarily need to be formed at the center of the long piece as in this embodiment. It may be joined at any position near the end. In this case, when the rubber belt is attached to the knee, the fasteners 5a and 5b at one long end are arranged so as to be located outside or inside the knee.

In the above embodiment, the pair of long pieces are substantially parallel to each other, but may be orthogonal or oblique to each other. In this case as well, the upper left and right long pieces and the lower The left and right strips can be connected to each other with corresponding fasteners. The pair of long pieces may be integrally formed and joined, or may be separately formed and joined. In this case, the joint is formed by joining with an adhesive or the like. It may be done.

[0014] However, when integrally molded, a pair of long pieces is made parallel, because there are few cut-off portions when a rubber belt is cut out from a rubber plate by punching or the like, and the production yield is high. preferable.

When the rubber belt of the present invention is used, it is attached to the knee 7 with the supporter 8 or the like in the above-described manner while applying tension to the long piece of the rubber belt at the time of winding. If fixed, the rubber belt is tightened and fixed to the knee by the elasticity of the rubber belt.

[0016] In view of this, the rubber belt has an upper long piece wrapped around the thigh side, and a lower long piece wrapped around the shin side, so that the long piece fastened to the thigh side prevents slipping and dropping from the knee. I do. Therefore, even if the knee is repeatedly bent and stretched during walking or exercise, the rubber belt prevents the supporter or the like from slipping down due to the tension, and at the same time, does not hinder walking or exercise. In particular, there is an advantage that slip-off can be prevented even when performing extreme exercise.

[0017]

[Effect of the invention]

 The rubber belt of the present invention is attached to the surface of each end to detachably connect the ends to a stretchable natural rubber belt body in which a pair of left and right long pieces are integrally or separately joined. Since the supporter and the bandage are formed from the hook-and-loop fastener, the supporter or the bandage can be effectively prevented from slipping down by being wrapped around the supporter or the bandage covering the knee.
