Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a toe supporter that prevents skin diseases that occur on the soles of the feet, between the toes, and the like, and particularly toes that prevent athlete's foot caused by infection of Trichophyton. Related to supporters.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a skin disease called athlete's foot which is infected with Trichophyton and causes vesicular rashes between the toes or the roots of the toes. Trichophyton, which causes this athlete's foot, is at a moderate temperature,
It is easily infected in a damp place, and as a result has poor air permeability, it is often infected between the toes, which have a moderate temperature due to body temperature. In addition, the adjacent toes are often in contact with each other between the toes, and some affected areas also contact the other toes.
The ringworm is further propagated and the affected area is spreading or worsening. Then, a person infected with this skin disease suffers from itching, pain, etc. in the affected area, and is very distressed by the symptoms. Therefore, in order to suppress or cure the symptoms, people who have the symptoms try to separate the toes and improve the air permeability around the affected area. Therefore, recently, there is an athlete's foot prevention sock in which the tip of a normal sock is separated so that the toes correspond to each toe and individually cover each toe. This is to prevent the toes from directly contacting each other and to maintain the air permeability between the toes.

[0003]

However, if the athlete's foot socks as described above are worn, the athlete's foot socks can be seen from the surroundings when wearing shoes or the like on the socks. However, it is known that people around you are wearing socks to prevent athlete's foot in places where you take off your shoes, and it is known that there are symptoms of athlete's foot. Absent. It is also possible to wear normal socks on top of athlete's foot socks so that people around you do not know that you are wearing athlete's foot socks. There is a problem that it may worsen the sex and make the symptom more serious, and if you put shoes on after stacking socks, your legs may become cramped. Therefore, people with symptoms were very in trouble.

In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a toe supporter for skin diseases which prevents contact between the toes, improves air permeability, and can be worn under socks.

[0005]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, the problem solving means according to the first aspect of the present invention is such that a tip end of an annular main body worn on a tip of a foot is a tubular portion branched corresponding to a toe, and a toe. The tip of the tubular portion is opened so that the above is exposed.

According to the invention of claim 2, the main body worn over a plurality of toes is branched corresponding to each toe,
The tip of the main body is opened so that the toes are exposed.

Here, to correspond to the toes means to match the shape of the toes and an arbitrary number.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

(First Embodiment) As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in a toe supporter for skin disease according to a first embodiment of the present invention, the tip of an annular main body 1 worn on the toes corresponds to the toes. Is a branched cylindrical portion 2, and the tip of the cylindrical portion 2 is opened so that the toe A is exposed.

The main body 1 is formed into an annular shape by stitching both side ends of first and second cloth pieces 1a and 1b made of a thin cotton cloth having good air permeability and good water absorbency. The cloth is knitted so as to have elasticity, and an elastic material such as rubber may be knitted together with cotton or the like.
Further, the cloth need not be made of cotton as long as it has good air permeability and good water absorption.

The first cloth piece 1a and the second cloth piece 1b are symmetrical to each other, and the ends are radially branched into five parts corresponding to the five toes. The end of the main body 1 on the side opposite to the tubular portion 2 is open to form a substantially elliptical insertion port 3 for inserting a tip of a foot. The length of each tubular portion 2 is set such that the toe A of the corresponding toe is exposed, and the openings 4 to 8 of each tubular portion 2 are formed.
Are considered so as to have a circular shape having a size into which the corresponding toes are inserted. That is, the opening 4 is for the thumb, the opening 5 is for the second finger, the opening 6 is for the third finger, the opening 7 is for the fourth finger, and the opening 8 is for the little finger.

Then, the first and second cloth pieces 1a and 1b are vertically stacked so that their shapes match each other, and each cloth piece 1
When the side ends of a and 1b other than the front and rear ends are sewn, an annular main body 1 and five tubular portions 2 are formed. At this time, at the openings 4 to 8 and the insertion opening 3 of each tubular portion 2, the cloth is folded back and sewn to increase the strength against abrasion due to friction between the sewn portion and the foot, May be prevented. Further, in order to prevent the toe supporters from slipping at the toes, a cloth having a stronger elastic force than the main body 1 can be sewn into the inner peripheral surface of the main body 1 in an annular shape, so that the slippage during wearing can be prevented. In addition, if ventilation holes are provided in the instep of the main body 1 or in the portions that contact the soles of the feet, the air permeability will be further improved. In the figure, 9 is a connecting portion between the first cloth piece 1a and the second cloth piece 1b.

When wearing this toe supporter,
As shown in, the toe A of the toe is inserted from the insertion opening 3, and each toe is inserted into the tubular portion 2 corresponding to each toe. Then, the toe A is worn so as to be exposed from the openings 4 to 8 of each tubular portion 2. Then, the toes are separated from each other by the cloth, and the adjacent toes do not come into direct contact with each other.

Since the toes are separated from each other by the cloth, the air permeability between the toes is maintained. Also, since the toe supporter is made of cloth with good breathability and water absorption,
Moisture such as sweat generated on the toes will not accumulate, and it will be difficult for the toes to get wet. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the proliferation of tinea bacillus or the like that infects a place where the toes are moist, and to prevent the infection of tinea tinea or the like. And since the part that covers the foot is only the toes, it is also formed of a thin cloth, so even if you wear socks after wearing it on the toes, there is only a small part that overlaps with the socks, Maintains breathability. Therefore, socks can be worn on the toe supporters, and the toe supporters can be hidden by the socks, so that there is an advantage that people around the person do not know how to wear the toe supporters.

By the way, this toe supporter is to be worn on the right foot as shown in FIG. 2, but it can be worn on the left foot by turning it upside down, and it is not necessary to separately prepare the left and right feet. One piece can be worn on either left or right foot,
Good usability.

(Second Embodiment) As shown in FIG. 3, a toe supporter according to a second embodiment of the present invention includes upper and lower first and second cloth pieces 1a and 1b in the first embodiment. The space is sewn and joined through the third cloth piece 1c.

The third cloth piece 1c is made of the same material as that of the first and second cloth pieces 1a and 1b, and the first and second cloth pieces 1a and 1b.
forming a peripheral side surface when b is separated in parallel,
It is between the toes and forms the side surface of the tubular portion 2. At this time, the side surface of the third cloth piece 1c at that portion is not formed so that the insertion opening 3 and the openings 4 to 8 are opened. Then, the annular main body 1 having the tubular portion 2 is formed by sewing the ends of the first to third cloth pieces 1a to 1c. Other configurations and functions are the same as those in the first embodiment, and those having the same functions are designated by the same reference numerals.

In this way, the manufacturing man-hours are higher than those of the toe supporter of the first embodiment, but the toe supporter can be formed in a shape more suitable for the toes. Other effects are similar to those of the first embodiment.

(Third Embodiment) The toe supporter of the first embodiment is provided with the tubular portion 2 corresponding to all five toes, but the toe supporter of the third embodiment is , Fig. 4
As shown in, in order to ensure the necessary air permeability of only the toes, only the tubular portion 2 corresponding to the required toes is provided,
The unnecessary toes are used as the openings 21.

The main body 1 is formed in an annular shape by stitching both side ends of first and second cloth pieces 20a, 20b made of the same material as the main body 1 of the first embodiment. And the first cloth piece 20a
The second cloth piece 20b and the second cloth piece 20b are symmetrical to each other, and the end portions thereof have a shape in which they are radially branched into three parts corresponding to the third, fourth, and little fingers of the foot, respectively.

Then, the first and second cloth pieces 20a, 20
b are vertically overlapped so that their shapes match, and the periphery is sewn so that the insertion opening 3 for inserting a toe into the main body 1 and the tip of the tubular portion 2 are opened, and the main body 1 and three Tube 2
To form The required combination of toes is possible for two or more crossing toes, and the branches and shapes of the ends of the first and second cloth pieces should correspond to the selected toes. Can be dealt with. Other configurations are similar to those of the first embodiment, and those having the same function are denoted by the same reference numerals.

When this toe supporter is worn,
Insert the toe A of the toe from the insertion opening 3 as shown in
Each toe is inserted into each tube portion 2 corresponding to the finger, the fourth finger, and the little finger. At this time, the tips of the third finger, the fourth finger, and the little finger are worn so as to be exposed from the openings 6 to 8 of each tubular portion 2.
Also, the thumb and the second finger are worn so as to protrude from the opening 21.

As described above, by forming the tubular portion 2 only for the required toes so as to maintain the air permeability, a small amount of cloth is required and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. In addition, the part that overlaps when wearing socks on the toe supporter is the first,
Less than in the second embodiment, and better breathability. Other effects are similar to those of the first embodiment.

It should be noted that it is not efficient to manufacture the shape corresponding to an arbitrary number of toes. Therefore, by using the toe supporter of the first embodiment so that the user can cut off the unnecessary cylindrical portion, the use range can be widened.

(Fourth Embodiment) In the toe supporter according to the fourth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, a main body 30 worn over a plurality of toes is branched corresponding to each toe, and a toe is divided. The tip of the main body is opened so that A is exposed. The toe supporter here is for improving the air permeability of a portion extending over the two toes of the thumb and the second finger, and maintaining the air permeability.

The main body 30 is formed by integrating two tubular portions 31 and 32, and is formed of first to third cloth pieces 30a to 30c made of the same material as the main body 1 of the first embodiment. To be done. The first and second cloth pieces 30a and 30b have a bifurcated shape corresponding to the thumb and the second finger. The third cloth piece 30c
Forms the outer peripheral surface and the side surface of the tubular portion between the first cloth piece 30a and the second cloth piece 30b. Then, the third cloth piece 30c is arranged between the first cloth piece 30a and the second cloth piece 30b, and the ends are sewn to be joined. At this time, the toe insertion opening 33 for inserting the toe A into the main body 30
And the openings 34 and 35 for exposing the toe A. The opening 34 is for the thumb and the opening 35 is for the second finger.

A third cloth piece 30c is interposed between the thumb and the second finger without a gap, and the third cloth pieces 30c on both sides are provided.
Is formed to be short, and when the toe supporter is worn on the toe A, the third cloth piece 30c is prevented from hitting the base of the toe on which the toe supporter is worn and the adjacent toe. . The toe supporter of the present embodiment can be used for necessary toes by forming the first to third cloth pieces 30a to 30c into a shape corresponding to two or more toes. If you use it upside down, you can also wear it on the opposite leg.

When wearing this toe supporter,
As shown in, the toe A is inserted from the toe insertion opening 33 of the main body 30. At this time, wear it so that the toes A of the thumb and the second finger are exposed. Then, only the thumb and the second finger are covered with the cloth, and there is no direct contact between the thumb and the second finger. If you use it upside down, you can also wear it on the opposite leg.

As described above, since the main body is made small, even if the toe supporter is worn and the socks are further worn thereon, the overlapping portion is minimized, and the breathability is greatly improved. Also, wear socks on the toe supporters,
Even if you wear shoes on it, your feet will not get cramped. Other effects are similar to those of the first embodiment.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and it goes without saying that many modifications and changes can be made to the above embodiment within the scope of the present invention. For example, a cylindrical tube corresponding to each toe is individually formed by weaving, and an annular body is also formed by weaving. Then, it is conceivable to make a toe supporter by suturing the tube and the main body so as to fit the toes. Further, the mesh made of the cloth improves the breathability. In addition, if your toes are infected with Trichophyton, etc., apply athlete's foot remedy to a thin cloth, apply the cloth to the affected area, and wear a toe supporter over it. Since the cloth applied with is pressed and held, it is possible to prevent the cloth from being displaced.

[0030]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, since each toe is covered by the tubular portion branched corresponding to the toes, the toes do not come into direct contact with each other, Breathability between the toes is maintained. Moreover, when the toe supporter is made of a cloth having good breathability and good water absorption, moisture such as sweat generated on the toes will not be accumulated, and the toe supporter will be less likely to get wet. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the proliferation of Trichophyton, which infects the moist part of the toes, the infection of Trichophyton, and to prevent or cure skin diseases.

Further, since the portion covering the foot is small and it is formed of a thin cloth, even if the sock is put on the foot after wearing it, the portion overlapping the sock is small,
Maintains breathability. Therefore, it is possible to wear the socks on the toe supporter, and it is not necessary for others to know that the toe supporter is wearing the sock.
