Description
【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は関節用サポーターに関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、関節用サポーター、例えば膝関節用の場合に於ては、一般に立位すなわち膝関節を伸展した状態の形状に対応せしめた筒状体によって構成せられていた。
【０００３】
そのため、従来の関節用サポーターを装着した場合には、関節屈曲時に、膝裏等の関節屈曲部内面に生地のたるみやヨレが生じる結果、不快な圧迫感や痛みをもたらしていたのが実状であった。
【０００４】
他方、これを避けるため、例えば膝関節を屈曲した状態の形状に対応せしめたＬ字型の筒状体とした場合には、確かに関節屈曲時のフィット性には支障はないものの、今度は関節伸展時に、膝蓋骨等の関節屈曲部外面に生地のたるみやヨレが生じ、フィット性はもとより外観の点からも実用性に欠けると云う問題があった。
【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は斯かる従来の問題に鑑みてなされたものであり、関節の伸展時、屈曲時の如何に拘らず、生地のたるみやヨレの生じることのない極めてフィット性に優れた関節用サポーターを提供することを目的とする。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、伸展状態の関節屈曲部外面に対応した形状を呈する関節屈曲部外面被覆用伸縮性生地部片と、屈曲状態の関節屈曲部内面に対応した形状を呈する関節屈曲部内面被覆用伸縮性生地部片との接合筒状体から成ることを特徴とする関節用サポーターにより上記目的を達成したものである。
【０００７】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明に於て、関節屈曲部外面被覆用伸縮性生地部片と、関節屈曲部内面被覆用伸縮性生地部片との具体的接合手段としては、両部片の裁断後、縫合によるのが簡便である。尚、この場合、両部片は単一部片のみならず、それぞれ複数片として裁断した後、縫製したものであっても良い。
【０００８】
本発明に於て、関節の屈曲状態の具体的角度としては９０°の状態、換言すればＬ字状の関節状態とするのが好ましい。
【０００９】
本発明関節用サポーターは、これを膝関節用サポーターあるいは肘関節用サポーターとして実施するのが特に有利である。
【００１０】
本発明を膝関節用サポーターとして実施する場合、関節屈曲部外面被覆用伸縮性生地部片の膝蓋骨当接部下部は、これを面ファスナーの脱着による開閉自在な被覆部とするのが、装着操作性に優れることはもとより、圧迫力を自在に調節し得るので、適切な固定作用が得られる点で特に優れている。因に、面ファスナー固定部を膝蓋骨当接部から上部に設けた場合には膝関節屈曲時、面ファスナー固定部が障害となり、関節屈曲部外面被覆用伸縮性生地部片のスムースな伸びが得られない。
【００１１】
また、関節屈曲部外面被覆用伸縮性生地部片の膝蓋骨当接部には略円形状の切除孔を設けるのが、膝蓋骨に無用な圧迫感を与えることを防止できるので好ましい。
【００１２】
【実施例】
以下、実施例を示す図面と共に本発明を更に説明する。
【００１３】
第１の実施例を示す図１に於て、１は膝関節用サポーターで、関節屈曲部外面被覆用伸縮性生地部片１１と関節屈曲部内面被覆用伸縮性生地部片１２との縫合筒状体より構成されている。
【００１４】
この関節屈曲部外面被覆用伸縮性生地部片１１は、図２に示す如く、伸展せしめた状態の膝関節屈曲部外面に対応せしめて裁断されたもので縫合前に於てはほぼ長方形状を呈し、また関節屈曲部内面被覆用伸縮性生地部片１２は、図３に示す如く、略９０°に屈曲せしめた状態の膝関節屈曲部内面に対応せしめて裁断された水平部片１２ａと垂直部片１２ｂとの縫製体より成り、縫合前に於てはほぼＬ字状を呈している。尚、図２及び３に於て、２は脚部を示す。
【００１５】
斯かる両生地部片１１及び１２の縫合により、膝関節用サポーター１は図１に示す如く、関節屈曲部外面被覆用伸縮性生地部片１１が関節屈曲部内面方向にやや屈曲した状態となると共に、関節屈曲部内面被覆用伸縮性生地部片１２は、関節屈曲部外面方向にやや起立した状態となっている。
【００１６】
また、関節屈曲部外面被覆用伸縮性生地部片１１の膝蓋骨当接部には略円形状の切除孔１１ａが形設されている。
【００１７】
而して、本実施例に係る膝関節用サポーター１を装着後、膝関節を伸展した場合には、図４に示す如く、関節屈曲部外面被覆用伸縮性生地部片１１は縫合前の形態から殆ど伸びも縮みもせずそのままの状態である一方、関節屈曲部内面被覆用伸縮性生地部片１２は縫合前の形態から伸びた状態となるので、何れの部位にも生地のたるみやヨレは生じることがなく、極めて優れたフィット性が得られる。
【００１８】
他方、当該サポーター１を装着後、膝関節を屈曲した場合には、図５に示す如く、関節屈曲部外面被覆用伸縮性生地部片１１は縫合前の形態から伸びた状態となる一方、関節屈曲部内面被覆用伸縮性生地部片１２は縫合前の形態から殆ど伸びも縮みもせずそのままの状態であるので、何れの部位にも生地のたるみやヨレは生じることがなく、極めて優れたフィット性が得られる。
【００１９】
図６は第２の実施例を示すもので、第１の実施例に係る膝関節用サポーター１に於て、更に関節屈曲部外面被覆用伸縮性生地部片１１の膝蓋骨当接部下部を、面ファスナーの脱着による開閉自在な被覆部１１ｂとしたもので、これにより圧迫力を自在に調節し得るので適切な固定作用が得られる。
【００２０】
【発明の効果】
本発明関節用サポーターを用いれば、関節の伸展時、屈曲時の如何に拘らず、生地のたるみやヨレが生じることはなく、常に優れたフィット性を得ることができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a joint supporter.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in the case of a joint supporter, for example, a knee joint, it is generally constituted by a cylindrical body corresponding to a shape in a standing position, that is, a state in which the knee joint is extended.
[0003]
For this reason, when the conventional joint supporter is worn, when the joint is bent, the inner surface of the joint flexion part such as the back of the knee may sag or twist, resulting in an uncomfortable pressure and pain. there were.
[0004]
On the other hand, in order to avoid this, for example, when an L-shaped cylindrical body corresponding to the bent shape of the knee joint is used, although there is no problem in the fit at the time of bending the joint, At the time of joint extension, sagging or twisting of the fabric occurs on the outer surface of the joint flexion part such as the patella, and there is a problem that it is not practical in terms of appearance as well as fit.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and provides a joint supporter that has excellent fit without causing sagging or twisting of the fabric regardless of whether the joint is extended or bent. The purpose is to provide.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention relates to a stretchable fabric piece for covering the outer surface of the joint bending portion that exhibits a shape corresponding to the outer surface of the joint bending portion in the extended state, and an expansion and contraction for covering the inner surface of the joint bending portion that exhibits a shape corresponding to the inner surface of the bending portion of the joint bending portion. The above-mentioned object is achieved by a joint supporter characterized in that it is composed of a jointed cylindrical body with a sex cloth part piece.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the present invention, the specific means for joining the elastic fabric piece for covering the outer surface of the joint bend and the elastic fabric piece for covering the inner surface of the joint bend is to sew after cutting the two pieces. Convenient. In this case, both the pieces may be sewn after being cut not only as a single piece but also as a plurality of pieces.
[0008]
In the present invention, it is preferable that the specific angle of the bent state of the joint is 90 °, in other words, an L-shaped joint state.
[0009]
It is particularly advantageous that the joint supporter of the present invention is implemented as a knee joint supporter or an elbow joint supporter.
[0010]
When the present invention is implemented as a knee joint supporter, the lower portion of the patella abutting portion of the stretchable fabric piece for covering the outer surface of the joint bending portion is a covering portion that can be opened and closed by attaching and detaching the hook-and-loop fastener. In addition to being excellent in performance, the compression force can be freely adjusted, which is particularly excellent in that an appropriate fixing action can be obtained. For example, when the hook-and-loop fastener fixing part is provided above the patella contact part, the hook-and-loop fastener fixing part becomes an obstacle when the knee joint is bent, and the stretchable fabric piece for covering the outer surface of the joint bending part can be smoothly stretched. I can't.
[0011]
In addition, it is preferable to provide a substantially circular excision hole in the patella abutting portion of the elastic fabric piece for covering the outer surface of the joint bending portion because it can prevent unnecessary sensation of pressure on the patella.
[0012]
【Example】
The present invention will be further described below with reference to the drawings showing examples.
[0013]
In FIG. 1 showing the first embodiment, reference numeral 1 denotes a knee joint supporter, which is a suture tube composed of a stretchable fabric piece 11 for covering the outer surface of the joint bend and an
[0014]
As shown in FIG. 2, the stretchable fabric piece 11 for covering the outer surface of the joint bending portion is cut so as to correspond to the outer surface of the knee joint bending portion in the extended state, and has a substantially rectangular shape before suturing. As shown in FIG. 3, the
[0015]
By such stitching of both
[0016]
In addition, a substantially circular excision hole 11a is formed in the patella contact portion of the stretchable fabric piece 11 for covering the outer surface of the joint bending portion.
[0017]
Thus, when the knee joint is extended after wearing the knee joint supporter 1 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. Since the
[0018]
On the other hand, when the knee joint is bent after the supporter 1 is mounted, as shown in FIG. 5, the elastic fabric piece 11 for covering the outer surface of the joint bending portion is in a state of being stretched from the form before stitching. Since the
[0019]
FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment. In the knee joint supporter 1 according to the first embodiment, the lower part of the patella abutting portion of the stretchable fabric piece 11 for covering the outer surface of the joint bending portion is further shown. The cover portion 11b can be opened and closed by attaching and detaching the hook-and-loop fastener. With this, the compression force can be freely adjusted, so that an appropriate fixing action can be obtained.
[0020]
【The invention's effect】
If the joint supporter of the present invention is used, regardless of whether the joint is extended or bent, there is no sagging or twisting of the fabric, and an excellent fit can always be obtained.
