Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a toe cooler that is worn on the toes when wearing socks, etc., and keeps the toes clean and cool by preventing contact between the toes and absorbing sweat and moisture. .
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, such a refreshing tool as shown in FIG. 4 is known. This refreshing tool 1 is provided with a plurality of slits 3 for inserting toes on a sheet-like base material 2 formed into a oval shape by a cloth such as a nonwoven fabric. The toe is used by inserting the toes into the foot.
[0003]
However, the conventional refreshing tool 1 inserts the toes into the elongated slit 3 that is substantially linearly inserted so as to push it to the left and right, so that the resistance when inserting the toes is large. The mounting work is relatively troublesome. In addition, this refreshing tool has a portion 4 between the slit 3 and the slit 3 that comes into contact with a portion (crotch portion) between the adjacent toes and toes, thereby generating sweat, moisture, etc. Can be absorbed, but it cannot be prevented until the side of the toe comes into contact with each other, so that sweat or moisture is easily generated between the toes that are in contact with each other, and there is a disadvantage that the cooling effect is low.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The technical problem of the present invention is that it is relatively easy to attach to the toes and can prevent the base end side surfaces of the toes from coming into contact with each other. An object of the present invention is to provide a sanitary and refreshing tool for toes that is capable of absorbing sweat and moisture and reliably preventing stuffiness.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, according to the present invention, a plurality of finger insertion holes for inserting individual toes are provided side by side on a sheet-like base material made of a material having sweat-absorbing properties and breathability. The two finger insertion holes located at both ends of the hole row are formed by U-shaped slits that are laterally and opposite to each other, and one finger that rises toward the adjacent finger insertion hole when the toes are inserted. Each of the other finger insertion holes located in the middle of the hole row is formed by a laterally-shaped H-shaped slit, and the two flaps that rise separately from the left and right as the toes are inserted. A toe cooler characterized by having a toe is provided.
[0006]
In the refreshing tool of the present invention having the above-described configuration, since the finger insertion hole is an opening having a certain hole width, the toes can be easily inserted therein, and the wearing operation is easy. Moreover, when the toes are inserted, the flaps are automatically raised to isolate the base end side surfaces of adjacent toes and prevent them from contacting each other, as well as the sweat generated between these toes. Since it absorbs moisture and prevents stuffiness, it excels in feeling of use and coolness and is very hygienic.
[0007]
In the present invention, it is desirable to provide notches for preventing wrinkles during use at positions between adjacent slits in the peripheral portion of the base material.
[0008]
The base material can be impregnated with a chemical agent having at least one sanitary function such as deodorizing, antibacterial, and aroma. In this case, it is desirable to provide a protective film for preventing exudation of the impregnated drug on the surface of the substrate opposite to the surface contacting the toes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of a refreshing tool according to the present invention. This refreshing tool 10 is formed on a base material 11 formed in a substantially oval shape by a sheet-like material such as a non-woven fabric having sweat absorption and breathability. First to fifth five finger insertion holes 12a to 12e for individually inserting five toes are arranged side by side.
[0010]
Each of the finger insertion holes 12a to 12e is formed in a portion that is incompletely surrounded by the slits 14 and 15, and rises as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. It has flaps 16 and 17 that prevent contact between the ends.
[0011]
The configuration of the above-described finger insertion hole will be described in more detail. Two finger insertion holes 12a and 12e positioned at both ends of the hole row, that is, a first finger insertion hole 12a for inserting a thumb and a little finger are inserted. The fifth finger insertion hole 12e is a U-shaped slit 14 cut in a lateral direction, more specifically, two parallel horizontal line portions 14a and 14a extending in the direction of the hole row, and outer ends of these horizontal line portions 14a and 14a Each of the flaps 16 is formed by a U-shaped slit 14 including a connecting line portion 14b connecting the portions, and rises toward the adjacent second finger insertion hole 12b and the fourth finger insertion hole 12d. Yes. On the other hand, the second finger insertion hole 12b, the third finger insertion hole 12c, and the fourth finger insertion hole 12d located in the middle of the hole row are formed by an H-shaped slit 15 that is placed sideways. Formed by an H-shaped cut 15 comprising two parallel horizontal line portions 15a, 15a extending in the direction and a vertical line portion 15b connecting intermediate positions of these horizontal line portions, and the positions of the respective hole edges facing each other In addition, it has two flaps 17 and 17 that stand up and separate into left and right as the toes are inserted.
The concept of “U-shape” includes “U-shape”.
[0012]
Among the finger insertion holes 12a to 12e, the first finger insertion hole 12a for inserting a thumb is formed larger than the other ones, and the other second to fifth finger insertion holes 12b to 12e have the same size. Is formed.
[0013]
Further, a plurality of cuts 19 are provided in the peripheral portion of the base material 11, and the cuts 19 prevent wrinkles around the cooler 10 when the cooler 10 is attached to a foot tip. Like to do.
[0014]
As shown in FIG. 3, the refreshing tool 10 having the above-described configuration is attached to the toes by individually inserting the toes 20 into the respective finger insertion holes 12 a to 12 e, and socks or the like are put on the toes. To do. In this case, since each of the finger insertion holes 12a to 12e is formed as an opening having a certain hole width, the toes can be easily inserted into the finger insertion holes 12a to 12e, and the mounting operation is easy.
[0015]
Further, when the toes are inserted into the finger insertion holes 12a to 12e, the flaps 16 and 17 that have covered the holes are automatically raised and come into contact with the base end side surfaces of the toes 20 so that the fingers 20 and 20 are directly connected to each other. In addition to preventing contact, it absorbs sweat and moisture generated between these toes to prevent stuffiness. At the same time, parts of the between each finger insertion hole and the finger insertion hole is in contact with the crotch portion of between the toes and the toe, absorbing sweat and moisture or the like generated therein. For this reason, it is superior to a feeling of use and a cool feeling compared with the conventional thing which does not have a flap, and is very hygienic. In addition, when this refreshing tool 10 is mounted after a therapeutic drug such as athlete's foot is applied to the affected area, there is an effect that the drug can be prevented from dropping off or adhering to other objects and kept for a long time. .
[0016]
Furthermore, although the refreshing tool 10 bends irregularly when it is worn on the tip of the foot, since the generation of wrinkles is suppressed by the cuts 19 cut in the periphery thereof, the refreshing tool 10 feels thickened by the wrinkles. There is no such thing as giving a foreign body feeling.
[0017]
The refreshing tool 10 can be impregnated with a medicine having at least one sanitary function such as deodorant, antibacterial, and aroma. In this case, it is desirable to provide a protective film for preventing exudation of the impregnated drug on the surface of the substrate 11 opposite to the surface contacting the toes. As this protective film, a waterproof film, a water repellent film, etc. are suitable.
[0018]
The material constituting the substrate 11 may be a natural material such as pulp, cotton, rayon, or cupra, or may be an artificially water-absorbing material (for example, water-absorbing acrylic or water-absorbing polymer).
[0019]
In the illustrated embodiment, the first finger insertion hole 12a and the fifth finger insertion hole 12e are formed by a U-shaped slit 14, and the second finger insertion hole 12b, the third finger insertion hole 12c, and the Although the four finger insertion holes 12d are formed by the H-shaped slits 15, all the finger insertion holes 12a to 12e may be formed by only the H-shaped slits 15. In this case, it is desirable to form the first finger insertion hole 12a for inserting the thumb larger than the other ones.
