Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a hallux valgus protector capable of exerting both a correcting action and a protecting action for hallux valgus.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, in order to correct hallux valgus, an upper collar and a lower collar are integrally formed on both ends of a hollow straightening tube made of a flexible material such as rubber and sandwiched between the first and second toes of the foot. A hallux valgus protector that is formed with a valgus toe corrector and a protector part that is continuous with the insertion hole for the first toe of the foot and abuts on the lateral side of the joint part of the base of the first finger in a hug state to protect the hallux valgus. Are manufactured, sold and used separately according to their purpose.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, it is preferable to correct and protect the hallux valgus at the same time.In this case, the conventional valgus toe rectifier and hallux valgus protector may be used on the foot at the same time. Since it has to be held between two fingers, there is a drawback that the fingers are opened more than necessary, which causes a feeling of discomfort, and the cost of manufacturing individual articles is high.

[0004] The present invention exhibits both a correction effect and a protective effect for hallux valgus with a single article, and does not cause a strong discomfort when worn on a foot, and is inexpensive in cost. It is intended to provide a valgus toe correction protector.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The hallux valgus orthodontic protector of the present invention is made of a flexible material such as rubber or urethane foam resin, and has an upper collar and a lower collar integrally formed at both ends of a hollow orthodontic tube that is sandwiched between the first and second toes of the foot. Using the upper and lower limbs, connect and integrate the valgus ball correction part formed on the side and the protector part that protects the valgus by contacting the joint part of the base of the first toe of the foot while holding it. The first finger insertion opening is formed between the bunion correction part and the protector part.

[0006]

[Action]

 With the above configuration, if the first toe of the foot is inserted into the first finger insertion port and the mid-air correction tube is sandwiched between the first and second fingers, the valgus hallux valgus correction part and the protector part can be obtained. It becomes possible to hold the minute at the same time, and it is possible to obtain both the hallux valgus correction and the hallux valgus protection.

【Example】

 The bunion correction protector of the present invention will be described below with reference to the embodiment shown in the drawings. 1 is a plan view showing a partial fracture of the hallux valgus straightening protector, FIG. 2 is a side view of the hallux valgus straightening protector, and FIG. 3 is an exploded view showing a partial cross section of the hallux valgus straightening protector according to another embodiment. FIG. 4 is a side view, and FIG. 4 is a plan view of the valgus toe correction protector in use. In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, 4 is made of a flexible material such as rubber, and an upper collar 2 and a lower collar 3 are integrally formed at both ends of a hollow straightening cylinder 1 which is sandwiched between the first and second toes of the foot. The bunion correction part 5 is a protector part for protecting valgus, which is made of the same material as that of the bunion correction part 4, and is abutted on the side of the joint part of the base of the first toe of the foot in a hug state. It has become so. The hallux valgus straightening portion 4 and the protector portion 5 are connected and integrated using the upper collar 2 and the lower collar 3, and a first finger insertion opening 6 is formed between the hallux valgus straightening portion 4 and the protector portion 5. The bottom and top are symmetrical so that they can be used for either the left or right foot. The hollow portion of the hollow straightening tube 1 is not limited to the water drop shape shown in the figure, but may be an elongated triangle that narrows toward the finger crotch, or a large or small number of holes that are larger toward the finger crotch in order. It may be in a line.

FIG. 3 is an exploded side view showing a partial cross-section of a valgus toe correction protector according to another embodiment, which is made of a flexible material such as urethane foam resin and has a space between the first and second fingers of the foot. At the both ends of the hollow straightening tube 1 which is sandwiched between, the valgus valgus correction portion 4 in which the upper collar 2 and the lower collar 3 are integrally formed and the side of the joint portion of the base of the first toe of the foot are abutted in a hug state. And the protector portion 5 for protecting the hallux valgus are connected and integrated with the first finger insertion opening 6 being formed, and a cross-section similar to the hollow straightening cylinder 1 made of a vinyl resin material harder than the hollow straightening cylinder member is formed. The inner tube 7 having a shape is detachably inserted and held so that the hardness or thickness of the hollow straightening cylinder 1 can be adjusted.

The valgus toe correction protector according to the embodiment configured as described above is integrally manufactured by a molding means, and in use, as shown in FIG. 4, it is hollow between the first finger a and the second finger b. The first finger is inserted into the first finger insertion opening 6 so that the regular cylinder 1 is sandwiched, and the first finger is attached to the foot. The valgus hallux is corrected by the hollow correction tube 1 part and the protector part 5 is used to fix the first finger. It will protect the indirect part of the base from the side.

[0010]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, the hallux valgus straightening protector of the present invention is a hallux valgus straightening correction part in which an upper rim and a lower rim are integrally formed at both ends of a hollow straightening tube that is sandwiched between the first and second toes of the foot, Using the upper and lower collars, the protector part, which protects the hallux valgus by contacting the joint part of the base of the first toe of the foot in a hug state, is connected and integrated, and the bunion correction part and the protector part are integrated. Since the first finger insertion opening is formed between the first and second toes, insert the first toe of the foot into the first finger insertion opening, and sandwich the hollow straightening tube between the first and second fingers. Since the ball-toe correction part and the protector part can be held at the same time, both the hallux valgus correction and the hallux valgus protection can be achieved by one article, and it is possible to provide the most suitable for hallux valgus correction and protection. In addition, it is no longer necessary to separately hold the valgus toe corrector and the protector that protects the hallux valgus between the same first and second fingers as in the past, so that the fingers do not open more than necessary and the user feels uncomfortable. In addition, since the bunion correction part and the protector part are integrated, the manufacturing cost is lower and it can be provided at a lower cost than the conventional products that were individually manufactured.
