Abstract

(57) [Problem] To provide a supporter which does not move (shift) in the vertical direction or around the knee or elbow when attached to the knee of the leg or the elbow of the arm. A reinforcing member (3) is attached to an inner surface of a supporter body (1) made of a single layer of fabric by knitting at a position surrounding a knee portion of a leg in an annular shape.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a supporter to be attached to a knee of a leg or an elbow of an arm.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 2. Description of the Related Art A supporter has been known that is worn on a knee of a leg or an elbow of an arm to relieve pain and fatigue.

[0003] However, the supporters known in the related art are simply knitted in a tubular shape, and when mounted on the knees of the legs or the elbows of the arms, move in the vertical direction or around the knees or the elbows. Shift).

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The present invention solves such a problem so that when attached to the knee of the leg or the elbow of the arm, the movement (shift) does not occur in the vertical direction or around the knee or the elbow. It is intended to do so.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve this problem, the present invention proposes that a supporter body made into a tubular shape by knitting is provided with a reinforcing material attached annularly at a position surrounding the knee of a leg or the elbow of an arm. It is assumed that. In addition, the gist of the present invention is that the supporter body is made of a single material, and a reinforcing material is attached to the inner surface thereof in a ring shape. In addition, the gist of the present invention is that the supporter body is made of double fabric, and the reinforcing material is attached in a ring between the outer fabric portion and the inner fabric portion. Further, the present invention is characterized in that the reinforcing material is made by inserting a synthetic resin string into a small-diameter cylindrical body made of a woven or knitted fabric.

With this configuration, when the supporter is mounted so as to cover the knee of the leg or the elbow of the arm, the annular reinforcing material is mounted so as to surround the knee or the elbow. This reinforcement material protrudes slightly on the inner side of the supporter and hits the skin around the knee or elbow, so that the supporter does not move (displace) vertically or around the knee or elbow, and is stable. It can be mounted in the state where it was done.

[0007]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, a first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 will be described. Reference numeral 1 denotes a supporter main body made into a tubular shape by knitting, which is made of a single piece of cloth, and a knee part 2 of a leg. A reinforcement member 3 is attached to the inner surface of the supporter body 1 at a position surrounding the knee 2 of the leg in a state where the supporter 3 is mounted so as to cover the leg. The reinforcing material 3 is made by inserting a synthetic resin string 5 into a small-diameter tubular body 4 made of a woven or knitted fabric, and this is adhered to the inner surface of the supporter main body 1. If the string 5 is thick, it may be inserted into the cylindrical body 4 as a single layer. However, depending on the thickness of the string 5, one string 5 may be doubled (or (More than weight).

When the supporter configured as described above is mounted so as to cover the knee 2 of the leg, the annular reinforcing member 3 may be mounted so as to surround the periphery of the knee 2. The material 3 protrudes slightly on the inner surface side of the supporter and hits the skin around the knee 2, so that there is no movement (displacement) in the upward and downward directions or around the knee 2, and the wearer can be stably mounted.

Next, a second embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 will be described. In the first embodiment, the supporter body 1 is made of a single piece of fabric, but the second embodiment In the embodiment, the tubular supporter main body 1 is folded in two at an intermediate portion in the axial direction to form a double ground, and the outer fabric portion 1a and the inner fabric portion 1b are separated from each other by the first embodiment. Similarly, a reinforcing member 3 is attached by ringing at a position surrounding the knee 2 of the leg. Specifically, the reinforcing member 3 is attached to the inner surface of the outer fabric portion 1a by welding, and the attached portion of the reinforcing member 3 is covered with the inner fabric portion 1b. Reference numeral 6 denotes a folded part of the supporter main body 1. The supporter thus obtained also has the same effect as in the first embodiment.

Incidentally, the small-diameter cylindrical body 4 into which the string 5 of the reinforcing member 3 is inserted may be a cylindrically knitted material from the beginning, or a single narrow cloth may be used in the longitudinal direction. It is also possible to use a material which is folded in two along the lengthwise direction and the opening edge along the length direction is closed by welding to form a tube.

In the above embodiment, the supporter wraps around the knee 2 of the leg. However, a supporter wrapping the elbow of the arm can be similarly configured.

[0012]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, according to the present invention, when the supporter is mounted so as to cover the knee of the leg or the elbow of the arm, the annular reinforcing material is mounted so as to surround the knee or the elbow. As a result, the reinforcing material protrudes slightly toward the inner surface of the supporter and hits the skin around the knee or elbow, so that the supporter does not move (shift) vertically or around the knee or elbow, and is stable. It can be attached in the state where it was done.
