Description

  The present invention relates to socks, and more particularly, to socks that can correct the posture of the entire body and thereby improve metabolism by encouraging the wearer to actively use his / her five fingers during walking.

Inappropriate posture of the body is known to cause symptoms such as back pain, stiff shoulders, headache, and visceral upset. In modern people who wear shoes for a long time in their daily lives, the fact that they do not use their footpads much during walking is one of the root causes.

Originally, the basic posture of the human body during activity is that the pelvis is tilted slightly forward. When gaining forward propulsive force with the legs during walking, support the majority of the body weight in the forefoot part of the sole, especially in the vicinity of the metatarsal joint joint (so-called MP joint) where the metatarsals and ribs bend, Then it is natural that all of the toes touch the ground and move together. However, many modern people have become accustomed to the movement of their toes restricted by their shoes and are less likely to use their toes for walking. It tends to tilt.

When the pelvis tilts backward, the adductor muscles of the thighs are less likely to be utilized, so both legs inevitably become the inner crotch, and it feels like a "sliding foot" where the toes do not rise sufficiently during walking. Therefore, the soleus muscle of the calf and the hamstring muscle group extending from the thigh to the buttocks cannot be used effectively. As a result, the blood flow in the legs will be sluggish, causing symptoms such as “cold” and “swelling” of the legs, especially in women, and knee pain, hip pain, and back pain in the elderly. Become.

In addition, the back of the pelvis becomes “stoop-back” and the internal organs are affected. Since the muscles of the whole body basically move in front and back, and a pair of left and right, the “nose back” that does not use the muscles of the back causes the abdominal muscles to relax and cause the internal organs to drop, causing the lower abdomen to appear. Furthermore, in the “stoop-back” state, the diaphragm, which is a muscle for breathing, is also loosened and breathing is constantly shallow, resulting in a decrease in metabolism and a variety of poor physical condition. The adverse effect of such “back of the cat” is becoming even younger due to the recent spread of smartphones and the like.

By the way, socks and foot supporters as described in Patent Documents 1 to 3 have been proposed as means for easily correcting the posture of the body without using special instruments or appliances. Yes. For example, the sock and the supporter disclosed in Patent Document 1 have an elasticity for pulling the first and fifth heels toward the heel side in order to keep the sole curved in a concave shape when worn. It is characterized by providing. Further, the supporter disclosed in Patent Document 2 is formed of an elastic cylindrical band provided with a container portion for wrapping each of the first and fifth cages. Furthermore, the foot balance correction sock disclosed in Patent Document 3 is provided with a bag portion into which the first heel, the fifth heel and the second heel to the fourth heel are respectively inserted, and the metatarsal joint and the metatarsal base. It is characterized in that a band for pressing the Lisfranc joint is provided.

However, all of these prior arts focus on the correction of flat feet, hallux valgus and club toe, and do not solve the problems caused by the above-mentioned pelvic posterior inclination by promoting the active use of the toes. Absent. Since these have the effect of restricting the movement of the toes, there is a problem that even if there is an effect of correcting flat feet or the like, there is a possibility that the pelvic backward inclination and the stoop due thereto may be promoted. In addition, since the foot is forcibly tightened by an elastic body such as a band, there is a problem that a feeling of incongruity is generated at the time of wearing, and the structure is complicated and expensive.

The present invention solves such problems of the prior art, and by adding minimal improvements to the structure of conventional socks, it has increased to the general population in general, regardless of the presence of flat feet, hallux valgus and clubfinger. It is an object of the present invention to provide socks that can prevent and improve diseases and poor physical condition caused by posterior tilt of the pelvis and stoop.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the sock described in claim 1 of the present invention includes an inner bag body that accommodates a first heel and a second heel, and a third heel to a fifth heel at a toe portion. A sock having a bag for accommodating a toe, at least two inside the crotch of the inner bag and the third bag, and the fourth bag and the fifth bag It is characterized by having an acupuncture body.

In order to easily and easily solve the problem of pelvic tilt, it is effective to encourage the use of footpads. As shown in the skeleton diagram of the foot bone in FIG. 1, the number of the ribs is different between the first toe (heel) and the four fingers from the second to the fourth toe. For this reason, the movements of the first and other fingers are difficult to coordinate, and particularly in the “inner crotch” state, the movements of the second to fourth hooks tend to be sluggish together. On the other hand, in the case of a human whose pelvis is inclined backward and has an inner thigh tendency, the body weight tends to be applied to the first toe among the five fingers, and the first toe moves actively during walking.

The sock according to claim 1, wherein the toe portion includes an inner bag body for accommodating the first heel (heel) and the second heel, and a bag body for accommodating the respective footpads from the third heel to the fifth heel. Therefore, the second bag moves positively together with the first bag inside the inner bag body. As a result, the movements of the third to fourth bases are activated by the movement of the second base, and inevitably urged to use all five fingers of the foot.

In addition, the first bag and the second bag are moved by being bundled by the inner bag body, so the second bag to the fourth wheel, which move only in a normal state, move in particular, especially the second bag and the third bag. In other words, the wearer can be encouraged to be aware of each of the toes and can be encouraged to actively use the toes.

Further, the socks have acupuncture bodies at least at two positions inside each crotch of the inner bag body and the third bag bag body, and the fourth bag bag body and the fifth bag bag body. When the sock is worn, the acupuncture body is always sandwiched between the second and third crotch portions and the fourth and fifth crotch portions to expand the base portion of each toe. For the wearer, the base portion of the toes is in a state of being constantly agitated by a foreign object.

The human body has a variety of reflexes, but its functions include visceral reflex (autonomic nerve reflex) that contracts visceral muscles and promotes gland secretion via the autonomic nervous system, and contracts skeletal muscles. It is roughly divided into somatic reflection. The patella tendon reflex, in which the lower leg jumps up when the patellar tendon is struck with a mallet, is one of the typical somatic reflexes, but when the human body is subjected to acupuncture at the toe crotch that is the base of its toes, the foot unconsciously It is known medically and empirically that it shows a somatic reflection of bending and rounding the heel.
The acupuncture body provided on the sock according to the present invention uses the somatic reflection of the toes so that the wearer always bends and rounds the toes, so to speak, grabs the ground or the floor with the five toes of the feet. The purpose of this is to make it a proper state.

Since the weight tends to hang on the heel when the pelvis is tilted backwards, the tip of the toes warps upwards, especially during walking, which causes the footpads to be used less frequently. This state is called “floating finger” in the field of manipulative treatment. Especially when the fifth toe (little finger) is a floating finger, both legs become the inner crotch, and it feels like a “sliding foot” where the toes do not rise sufficiently during walking. This causes various problems as described above.

The sock of the present invention prevents a floating finger by causing a somatic reflection that the wearer unconsciously rolls up the toes by the acupuncture that the acupuncture body gives to the crotch portion. The acupuncture body in contact with the crotch portions of the second and third collars expands the crotch parts of the second and third collars and unconsciously rounds the third collar by somatic reflection. As a result, the movement of the third hook becomes more active in conjunction with the second hook bundled with the first hook in the inner bag, so that the ground contact of the tip of the heel during walking is promoted and used actively. Become. In addition, the fifth heel, whose crotch is expanded by the acupuncture body in contact with the fourth and fifth groin, is also unconsciously rounded by somatic reflection and touches the ground. Improve the way you walk.

It is also possible to provide acupuncture bodies at the third and fourth crotch, but if the expansion of the crotch is too large, the pressure on the toes will increase when wearing the footwear and the acupuncture will become stronger. For the purpose of positively grounding the toes by somatic reflection, the acupuncture body exhibits a sufficient effect at two locations.

Next, the invention described in claim 2 is the sock described in claim 1, wherein the acupuncture body is made of substantially reverse teardrop-shaped silicone rubber, and each acupuncture body is worn by the wearer's footpad when wearing the sock. It makes it contact | abut in the state which stood up to the crotch part.

If the material of the acupuncture body is too hard, the acupuncture is too strong and the wearer feels pain. Therefore, silicon rubber having a suitable elasticity and small hygiene problems is suitable. In addition, considering that a healthy foot has five heels that draw a loose arch when viewed from the front in the footwear, the shape of the acupuncture body is a reverse teardrop shape with a thick upper end and a thin lower end. It is preferable to make a ground in such a manner that the bag stands up on the inside of the crotch portion of each bag so that the crotch portion of the toes is in contact with the crotch portion of the toe easily and reliably.

Finally, the invention described in claim 3 is the sock described in claim 2, wherein the lower end portion of the acupuncture body has a protrusion that abuts on the position of the middle foot joint joint of the sole of the foot. It is characterized by having an L-shape. Specifically, the lower end portion of the substantially reverse teardrop shape is bent and extended in the heel direction, and a small protrusion is provided at the tip.

The projection gives acupuncture to the sole of the foot in such a manner that the metatarsal joint of the foot bone behind the crotch of the toe is pushed upward. Since the middle footpad joint is the most base part of the footpad and is the most bent joint when walking, somatic reflection by acupuncture to this part further increases the effect of rounding the above-mentioned footpad. In addition, by making the shape of the acupuncture body approximately L-shaped, the acupuncture body easily fits into the crotch portion of the toes when wearing socks, and the acupuncture body is also prevented from falling off from the crotch during wearing.

  The sock according to the present invention has an effect of improving the posture of the pelvis naturally, maintaining muscle strength, and improving metabolism by urging the wearer to use a toe. Forcibly synchronize the movements of the first and second toes of the toes to coordinate the overall movement of the five toes and unconsciously round the toes by somatic reflection by the acupuncture body. By making the contact with the ground, the force of the toes is gradually strengthened. As a result, the ability to hold the center of gravity axis of the body during walking or exercise is enhanced, so that an effect of leading to a fall accident can be expected especially for elderly people with weak muscle strength. Moreover, since it can implement | achieve only by adding an acupuncture body by adhesion | attachment etc. to the inner surface of the socks with a finger-bag which can be implement | achieved in the manufacturing process of the conventional socks, it has the advantage that it can provide at low cost.
