Description

  The present invention relates to a fashionable supporter that is wound around a foot and an ankle using a band-like torsion race.

  Swelling of the lower limbs is caused by a decrease in fluid circulation such as blood and intercellular fluid. This swelling is often caused in the life of a healthy person, except for those that appear as a medical condition in a specific disease.

  Blood is pumped by the arteries to the lower limbs, returns to the veins through the peripheral capillary network, and is integrated into the larger veins as it returns to the center. In addition, water in the blood leaches out from a rough portion of the peripheral blood vessel and circulates as cell fluid or intercellular fluid.

  Many of these body fluids return to the center by veins, but some of them also return by lymphatic vessels. In the blood vessels responsible for reflux to the central part such as blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, it is the muscle pump action that promotes the reflux. For example, when the muscles of the lower limbs contract due to walking, the muscle length is shortened and the muscle diameter bulges. This is a function of squeezing the nearby vessels and promoting reflux to the central part.

  In addition, changes in the vessel diameter due to temperature are also involved in the reflux function. When the temperature is high, the vessel diameter is enlarged and the reflux is promoted, and when the temperature is low, the blood vessel is contracted and the reflux is inhibited. Therefore, swelling occurs when the lower limb body temperature decreases.

  The amount of muscle responsible for most of the body temperature production is less in women than men, so women are generally more chilly, and in fact, many women complain of cold feet, that is, lower body temperature in the legs. As a result, the vascular diameter contracts and swelling occurs. Also, if you continue to work for a long time while sitting on a chair like desk work, the muscle pump action due to the movement of the lower limbs will not work, causing swelling.

  In order to eliminate the swelling of the lower limbs due to the stagnation of body fluid, a method of applying external pressure to the part is known. For example, as in Patent Document 1, a method in which a constant fluid is applied to the lower leg or the entire lower limb by using a compression stocking or a supporter for medical treatment to return the fluid staying in the periphery to the center. There is.

  On the other hand, other than medical products, a supporter that applies partial compression has been devised by applying this principle. For example, as in Patent Literature 2 and Patent Literature 3, pressure is applied only to the lower leg. There is. Also, as in Patent Document 4, covering from the foot to the entire leg, covering from the foot to the knee as in Patent Document 5, and covering from the foot to the lower limb and pelvis as in Patent Document 6. There is something.

As an example of a band-like form that tries to eliminate swelling, there is a technique in which the entire lower limb is wound around the foot as in Patent Document 7, for example. This is the same mechanism as the tourniquet used in extremity surgery.

  However, all of the supporters for eliminating swelling according to the conventional structure are large in size, complicated in mounting method, and inconvenient in handling. Moreover, since it cannot be said that it is excellent also in the aesthetic appearance, it intends to solve by this invention.

  The invention of claim 1 is a band-like supporter used by wrapping around an ankle and a foot, a torsion race having a predetermined length, a male hook-and-loop fastener fixed to one end of the torsion race, and the torsion The gist is to provide a female surface fastener fixed to the back side of the other end of the race.

As described above, while eliminating complaints edema according to the present invention, since the excellent aesthetic appearance, Do be reluctant to use Habaka' catching Kunar.

  FIG. 1 is an external view of a fashionable supporter of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention is a “fashionable supporter 1” using a band-like torsion race having a predetermined length, and is small and lightweight.

  In addition, because it uses the torsion lace 2 (mesh), which is preferred by women, it also has an aesthetic appearance. It is not only used under clothes like conventional products, but also as shown in Fig. 2. By using it so that it can be seen intentionally, it can produce a fashionable feeling like an ornament.

  Furthermore, since it can fix in the arbitrary parts of a foot | leg part and an ankle with the hook_and_loop | surface fastener (it consists of the male hook_and_loop | surface fastener 3 and the female hook_and_loop fastener 4) sewn on both ends of the torsion race 2, it is not thin and bulky.

  Further, the female surface fastener 4 of the surface fastener is longer than the male surface fastener 3, and adjustment according to body dimensions and tension due to stretchability are also possible. Furthermore, the adhesion site | part of a hook_and_loop | surface fastener can be selected according to a use condition, and it can also make it not visible from the outside.

  Further, the surface fastener has a male surface fastener 3 fixed to one end portion of the torsion race 2 and a female surface fastener 2 fixed to the back side of the other end portion of the torsion race 2.

  Note that the torsion race 2 used in the present invention is a band-like punched or laced race made with a torsion lace machine and preferably has an appropriate stretchability.

  Next, the effect of eliminating swelling when worn on the ankle as shown in FIG. 2 will be described with reference to FIG. 3 (a) shows the time when the heel is touched, FIG. 3 (b) shows the time when the sole is touched, and FIG. 3 (c) shows the time when the heel is off.

  As shown in FIG. 3 (a), at the time of heel contact during the walking cycle, the extending direction of the portion wound around the foot is as shown in (a) and (b), and the portion wrapped around the ankle is like c The body fluid reflux is promoted as in E.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), when the sole reaches the floor surface, the direction of the portion wound around the foot shrinks like (f) and (ki), and the direction of the portion wrapped around the ankle becomes It contracts like (ku) and (ke), and body fluid reflux is promoted like (ko). Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 3 (c), when the heel is lifted, the direction of the portion wrapped around the foot is shrunk as in (S) and (S), and the direction of the portion wrapped around the ankle is (S) and It stretches like (C), and body fluid reflux is promoted like (G). In other words, it plays a role similar to that of a muscle pump and promotes body fluid circulation. The conventional product only applies pressure unilaterally, and this alternate pressure action is novel.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, the elastic belt-like torsion race 2 has a thickness of 0.5 to 3 mm, a width of 20 to 80 mm, and a length of 300 to 700 mm. Has a hook-and-loop fastener male 3, and a hook-and-loop female 2 is sewn to the back of the other end.

  The stretchability of torsion race 2 is 8.14.1 stretch ratio among the stretchability of 8.14 stretch fabric according to Japanese Industrial Standard JIS L 1096-1999 General Fabric Test Method, b) B method (constant load method), The stretch rate is in the range of 50 to 150%.

  The surface fastener may be either non-stretchable or stretchable, but preferably a stretchable surface fastener is used. The shape of the hook-and-loop fastener male 3 is a quadrangle, and the size is smaller than the lateral width of the torsion race 2. The shape of the hook-and-loop fastener female 2 is a quadrangle, the dimensions are smaller than the lateral width of the torsion race 2, and the length is in the range of 50 to 200 mm. The length of the female surface fastener is preferably 3 to 4 times that of the male surface fastener.

  And when actually used, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), it is worn so as to cross at the back of the foot, or as shown in FIG. 4 (b), it is worn around the calf from the ankle. As shown in (c), it is possible to attach the arch so as to cover the arch and to make the user feel comfortable. 4A is a view showing an example in which the foot crosses at the back of the foot, FIG. 4B shows the example in which the ankle is wrapped around the calf, and FIG. 4C covers the arch.

  Further, the color of the torsion race may be white, red, black, green, yellow, or a mixture thereof.

It is an external view of the fashionable supporter of this invention. FIG. 3 is a perspective view in which the present invention is worn by crossing the back of the foot. It is the figure which showed the expansion-contraction direction of the torsion race during a walk, and the bodily fluid return direction accelerated | stimulated while crossing | wearing this invention with a foot back part and walking. It is explanatory drawing of the example of the mounting | wearing method of this invention.
