Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a knee supporter with good adaptability, no slipping in long time use, and more enhanced tightening power than that of a thick belt, to ease pain on a knee and fasten its recovery, by attaching a plurality of wing on a cylindrical knee supporter in the lateral direction and fixing the wings winding the supporter one by one. CONSTITUTION:A knee supporter 1 made of a heat retaining cloth such as flannel is formed in a cylindrical form. A pair of wing 2, which a notch 2 is formed at the middle of the tip, is made of a material hard to be extended and its' base is attached toward the lateral direction of the knee supporter 1 along the longitudinal axis of the supporter l. An extensible and thin second wing 3 is laid on the first wing 2, and the base is fixed on the supporter 1 forming a notch 4a at the middle of the tip. The top wing 5, its base is fixed on the knee supporter 1 in the lateral direction of the supporter 1, has a length possible to wrap a knee. Velvet fasteners 6, 7, 8 and 9 are set on ends of wings 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a winged knee supporter in which a plurality of wings are wound around a cylindrical supporter and fixed and held for a long time to protect the knee and relieve pain.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With the development of civilization, the chances of walking have decreased in recent years. As a result, the number of disorders related to the legs such as hallux valgus and lack of strength in the toes is increasing, contrary to medical advances. In particular, lack of strength and degeneration of the sole of the foot weakens the fashion effect of the sole of the foot and excessive impact from the ground or harmful stress is repeatedly transmitted to the knee,
Eventually, it will appear as a pain whose cause is not clear.
Most knee injuries and pains are repeatedly shocked from the ground more than necessary, resulting in arthritis caused by poor circulation, malnutrition-induced deformation, aging, cartilage destruction, etc. is.

Knee pain of unclear cause is called osteoarthritis of the knee, and repeated harmful or excessive impacts from the gait ground and one's own weight collide with the joint surfaces above and below the knee. Repeatedly, it has been deformed and aged over the years. The best way to recover your knees quickly is to adjust the environmental conditions so that the degree of rest exceeds the degree of fatigue of your knees, which enhances your natural healing power and eliminates inflammatory symptoms and pain so that you can recover. I will. The environmental condition in which the degree of rest is higher than the degree of fatigue of the knee is that the knee joint is fixed and held. Regarding the fixation and holding of the knee joint, the knee supporter having a remarkable fixing force is most effective. Thus, a supporter having a strong fixing force function that can support the weight and sufficiently hold the knee joint against the impact from the ground is required. If the environmental conditions are set such that the rest level exceeds the fatigue level, it is not commonly used as a device that causes a failure or limitation in daily life. A supporter that is inexpensive, simple, and has an effective function is required.

Conventionally, as a knee supporter, FIGS.
A supporter 10 having a cylindrical shape, having elasticity, and having only a heat retaining function is generally known as shown in FIG. Further, for the purpose of fixing and keeping heat, a winding supporter 14 in which an upper winding piece 11 and a lower winding piece 12 are connected at a central portion and a covering piece 13 is attached is also known as shown in FIGS.

[0005]

By the way, in the above-mentioned prior art, the former is elastic and has a heat retaining power but does not have a fixed holding power, so that the muscles of the upper and lower parts of the knee are fixed to alleviate the pain. I couldn't. In addition, it has a decisive drawback that it will slip off when walking or standing and sitting repeatedly, from the point of supporting the weight and protecting the knee from impact from the ground without much fixing force. The effect is weak. The knee has a large difference between the tension and relaxation of the thighs and head muscles during walking, and the lower leg is thin and has a conical tubular shape, so it is easy to displace just by wrapping it, and it is not possible to fix and hold the knee joint properly. there were.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems and to attach a plurality of blades in the lateral direction of a cylindrical knee supporter so that they can be wound around and fixed to a single supporter. Characterized by what was done.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 will be described in detail. Reference numeral 1 is a cylindrical knee supporter made of a heat retaining cloth such as flannel. 2 is a pair of blades made of a material that is difficult to stretch, and the notches 2a and 2a are formed at the center of the tip.
A base portion of the knee supporter 1 is attached in the lateral direction along the longitudinal axis of the supporter. Reference numerals 3 and 3 denote a pair of thin thin blades 2 and 2 which are superposed on the first blades 2 and 2 and have a base portion fixed to the supporter 1 and cutout portions 3a and 3a formed at the centers of the tips. Numerals 4 and 4 are a pair of thin thin blades 3 which are superposed on the second blades 3 and 3 and have a notch 4a, 4 at the center of the tip.
a is formed and the base is fixed to the supporter 1. Reference numeral 5 designates one uppermost blade, which is oriented to the lateral direction of the supporter 1 so that the base portion is fixed to the knee supporter 1 and has a length for covering the knee. The first blade 2, the second blade 3, the third blade 4, and the uppermost blade 5 have velvet fasteners 6, 7, at one end thereof.
8 and 9 are fixed respectively.

Next, the method of use will be described. Insert the supporter 1 into the lower limb and cover the knee. Next, the first pair of blades 2 and 2 is wound around the knee supporter 1 from both sides as shown in FIG. 2, and the tip is fixed by covering the knee with the velvet fastener 6. At this time, the degree of tightening is adjusted by the velvet fastener 6 so that the knees are exposed through the notches 2a, 2a, and the knees are fixed. Since the first blades 2 and 2 do not extend, the upper and lower muscles of the knee are clamped and fixed with a predetermined force, and the fixing force is maintained. Then, the thin second blades 3 and 3 having a stretch are wound around the blades 2 and 2 wound around the knee supporter 1 so as to expose the knee, and the velvet fastener 7 is used to adjust the degree of tightening and fix them. . Then, the third thin blades 4 and 4 with stretch are wrapped around the second blades 3 and 3 wound around the knee supporter 1 so as to expose the knee, and the degree of tightening is adjusted with the velvet fastener 8. Fix it. Then, the fourth thin thin blade 5 with stretch is put on the knee, and the velvet fastener 9 adjusts the degree of tightening as shown in FIG.

In the above embodiment, since the first blade which does not extend and the thin second, third and fourth blades which extend are used, the fixing force is larger than that of the thick one blade. Get stronger,
In addition, it can be fixed by shifting the thin blades, so it has a good fit. Further, when water has accumulated on the knee, it is more effective to make the first blade a thin blade with elongation. Alternatively, the uppermost blade may be a blade having elongation and the other blades may be blades having no elongation, or the blades having no elongation and the blades having elongation may be alternately used.

[0010]

According to the present invention, a plurality of blades are attached in the lateral direction of a cylindrical knee supporter so that the blades can be wound around and fixed to one supporter. Since the upper and lower muscles of the knee are clamped and fixed by the wings, the fit is good and it does not shift even after long-term use, the tightening force can be stronger than one thick belt, and knee pain It can soften and accelerate recovery.
