Description

  The present invention relates to a valgus sock that relieves or prevents pain caused by hallux valgus.

  An increasing number of people suffer from the so-called hallux valgus, in which the toe (thumb) of the foot is bent toward the second finger and the joint at the base deforms and causes pain. For this reason, an orthosis has been developed for correcting hallux valgus by wearing to relieve pain or preventing progression of hallux valgus. In general, for correction of hallux valgus, it is known that it is good to push and spread between the thumb and the second finger and fix the deformed thumb so that it returns to its original state. Attention has been paid.

For example, Patent Literature 1 discloses a sock in which another bag portion for containing an elastic material is provided between a bag portion for a toe and a wide bag portion for other toes. However, since socks with toes do not look good, it is difficult to wear them when taking off the shoes on the go. For this reason, socks that are not known from the outside to be used for hallux valgus are desired. For example, Patent Literature 2 proposes a double sock in which only the inside has toes. In this method, a space is provided between the thumb and the second finger of the inner sock, a cushion material is inserted into the space from the toe side, and the outer sock without a toe is stacked.

  However, the double sock of Patent Document 2 is cumbersome to wear, and the sock is thick. In addition, it is necessary to sew or join the cushion material, and there is a problem that manufacturing is not easy and the cushion material cannot be replaced.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a practical sock for hallux valgus, which has a good appearance and is easy to wear, and has a high effect of preventing hallux valgus and suppressing pain.

  The sock for hallux valgus according to claim 1 of the present invention covers the bottom inner surface of the toe of the sock, and gradually increases in height from the front end to the rear end at a position between the thumb and the second finger. A cloth forming an open-ended bag portion between the bottom inner surface and the bottom inner surface is stitched with its front edge and left and right side edges to the front edge and left and right side edges of the toe portion. The fabric is attached with its trailing edge stitched to the inner surface of the bottom except for the opening, and a pad material is inserted into the bag through the opening at the rear end.

  The sock for hallux valgus of the present invention has a good appearance because the bag portion for inserting the pad material is provided on the bottom side in the toe portion and there is no seam or the like on the instep side. In addition, since the deformation on the bottom side is smaller than that on the instep side during walking, the relative position between the bag portion in which the pad material is inserted and the foot is shifted, and it is possible to prevent the pad material from being uncomfortable or the pad material from coming off. Further, the pad material is detachable and can be easily replaced. Therefore, a practical sock for hallux valgus, which has a good appearance and good wearability and has a high effect in preventing hallux valgus and suppressing pain, can be obtained.

  The sock for hallux valgus according to the second aspect of the present invention further includes a tack portion formed on the left and right sides of the front edge of the bag portion at a seam portion between the front edge of the sock and the front edge of the cloth.

  According to the above configuration, since the tack portion is provided at the front edge of the bag portion, a sufficient space is formed on the distal end side, and the pad material can be pushed down to the distal end of the toe portion. Further, since the inserted pad material is less likely to be pushed out, the effect of preventing displacement and detachment is high.

  Next, the socks for hallux valgus of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. In the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a sock 1 for hallux valgus according to the present invention comprises a sole 2, an instep 3 and a leg 4. A fabric 5 that covers the inner surface of the toe portion 21 and forms a bag portion 51 for accommodating the pad material 6 is sewn to the sole 2 at a position between the thumb and the second finger. The cloth 5 is a knitted cloth having elasticity. Preferably, the cloth 5 is made of the same material as the sock cloth, so that the feeling of wearing is good. As shown in an enlarged view of the main part in FIG. 2A, the left and right sides of the front edge of the bag portion 51 are formed so that the height gradually increases from the front end to the rear end and the rear end is opened. Tack portions 52 and 53 are provided on both sides, and these tack portions 52 and 53 form a bag portion 51 which follows the shape of the toe and has a sufficient space for accommodating the pad material 6. The rear edge of the fabric 5 is provided with an edge for preventing fraying and spreading, and is sewn to the sole 2 except for the position where the bag 51 is formed.

  The bag 51 is formed as follows. First, the cloth 5 is cut into a substantially semi-circular shape whose width gradually increases from the front end to the rear side from the toe portion 21 of the sock body, and forms an edge over the outer peripheral edge for preventing fraying. Next, as shown in FIG. 3, tack portions 52 and 53 are provided at both ends of the bag portion 51 forming position so that the front edge and the side edge of the cloth 5 overlap the front edge and the side edge of the toe portion 21 of the sole 2. The outer folds are placed and the leading and side edges are sewn together. The rear edge excluding the portion where the bag portion 51 is formed and both side edges of the bag portion 51 are also sewn to the toe portion 21 of the sole 2.

  The pad material 6 is inserted into the bag portion 51 thus formed (FIG. 2A) and held (FIG. 2B) to obtain the so-called hallux valgus sock 1. The pad material 6 is made of an elastic material such as a polyethylene foam, and is formed into a substantially semi-elliptical shape corresponding to the shape of the bag portion 51. In the present embodiment, a projection is provided at the rear end of the pad material 6 so that it can be easily picked up during insertion or removal, and a detachable small pad material 61 is held in a hole provided at the center. I have. By fitting or removing the small pad material 61, hardness and air permeability can be adjusted.

  In the sock 1 for hallux valgus having the above structure, the bag portion 51 accommodating the pad material 6 is sewn to the sole portion 2, so that the bag portion 51 does not show through from the instep side and no seams appear on the instep side. No difference in socks and appearance. Therefore, even if the shoes are removed, no discomfort is given. In addition, since the tack portions 52 and 53 are provided at the front edge of the bag portion 51, the shape gradually curves from the front end to the rear end, and the rear half portion can have a shape having a sufficient gusset in the height direction. The pad material 6 can be pushed down to the tip, and the inserted pad material 6 is less likely to be pushed out and come off.

  In addition, the relative positions of the toes and the pad material 6 in the bag portion 51 during walking are less likely to be shifted than when the pad material 6 is fixed to the instep side, for example. Moreover, since the opening of the bag portion 51 is located on the rear end side (the heel portion 22 side), the pad material 6 does not come off even when worn for a long time. In addition, by preparing pad materials 6 having different thicknesses and replacing them according to the state of hallux valgus, the effects of preventing hallux valgus and suppressing pain can be further enhanced. Furthermore, since the pad material 6 can be removed and washed, the set material of the pad material 6 can be prevented, and the durability can be improved.

  The sock 1 for hallux valgus according to the first embodiment is illustrated as a short sock composed of a sole 2, an instep 3 and a leg 4, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this. Of course, the present invention can be applied to long socks, women's tights, stockings, and the like. When applied to women's tights and stockings, it is possible to wear pumps and high heels. it can.
